{a new month | happy february & hello}

. . . with so much happening lately, had nearly forgotten to wish you a happy february! already into the second month of this new year, and must confess that this month is actually one of my very favourites, for many reasons, and especially this year, with all of the exciting new things still to come [so very soon now -- can not wait to tell you] . . . hope your week has been lovely, lovely -- a few more things to share today, and still, weekend wishes & links, but for now, a quick hello on this beautiful february day . . .

{p.s.} and of course, if you're just arriving or may have missed : this week's beautiful give-away x

{have a beautiful early november weekend}

. . . the plan was to [reluctantly] stow away the light & lovely dresses and pretty bed linens in favour of mohair, cashmere and italian wool; to unpack the heavy scottish tartan blanks for cosy evenings and to clear the closet of tiny shorts and flimsy tops for cable knit and tweed . . . but it has been sunny, sunny -- and perhaps, after a stroll amidst the fallen leaves, a stop for fish & chips, and a latte or two, perhaps then . . .

hope you're having a magical november weekend, and that it's beautiful where you are, roséline xo

{have a romantic [long] weekend + links}

. . . this weekend has been filled with such lovely things -- strong coffee and frothy lattes, chocolate & banana crêpes at sunday brunch, and dinner at a favourite restaurant {for dessert: a warm chocolate brownie with peanut butter mousse and banana ice cream, sprinkled with peanuts, and drizzled with the most decadent caramel sauce}, conversations from oceans away and taxis in the rain, time at the shops {a new shimmery gold top} and long walks in the late-may sun, the strains of opera music in the background and just the two of us . . .

hope you're having a perfectly romantic {long} weekend & that it's beautiful where you are, roséline xo

{spring things: april showers}

"Anyone who says sunshine brings happiness has never danced in the rain."

~author unknown

. . . happily, there have been more sunny days than rain so far this spring, but there are no illusions that the rain will not fall, {for it is april, after all}, only the eternal optimism of may flowers . . . and when the rain does come, we shall greet it with red lipstick and our best umbrellas, and dance if we must . . .

{a new month + magic in the air}

. . . wind-tousled hair and sun-drenched cafés, long pleated skirts and daffodils, coral lip gloss and brighter skies, and most of all, that irresistible, unmistakable, all-encompassing excitement that spring is on its way . . .

happy march! wishing you a month filled with sunlit happiness,
xo
