GLAMOUR PHOTOGRAFY

. . . lately have been thinking about the things we always come back to—the crashing waves of the ocean, a favourite fragrance or countryside road, a novel or restaurant; for some, there are the same colours, designers, or interiors . . .



. . . and for me, it is this manhattan apartment, belonging to fashion designer betsey johnson—a maximalist heaven of overflowing bouquets of roses and utterly breathtaking pink walls, beautiful chandeliers and yards upon yards of antique lace . . .

. . . still more to come today, but laily has just sent along this glimpse of tory burch's weekend home in southhampton -- a collaboration with architect & designer daniel romualdez, [whose work you may remember here] and decorator eve hood, there is something so warm and bright, and a little romantic about it all, especially in the living room, [top], at one end of the home's former ballroom, with its coral-coloured curtains and chintz-covered sofa . . .

. . . swept away by the soaring, perfectly ornate ceilings of book publisher angelika taschen's berlin home, not to mention the miles of bright white walls and parquetry floors, gilded mirrors, and most of all, all those chandeliers . . .

. . . always and eternally in love with summer, and while others are gliding gracefully down the mountain side, am normally the one sitting prettily by the fire, wrapped in cashmere and sipping brandy or hot chocolate with marshmallows, waiting for summer's return, and dreaming of warmer climates to see out the long wintry months ahead; of course, winter's chilly days would be no match if spent gazing out the enormous picture windows at the spectacular views outside of aerin lauder's aspen ski chalet among the silver birches, with its reclaimed cypress boards and wire-brushed oak, white walls and bed linens, cosy reading corners and floods and floods of light . . .











{p.s.} also interesting : the interior designer for the chalet was daniel romualdez, who also designed the tory burch boutique, on madison, featured here a few weeks ago -- interesting to compare the two vastly different styles

{also:} more mountain décor

. . . last week was a wildly scattered & intensely busy collection of hours and days, but the weekend was decidedly more laid-back -- just as summer should be, and a most welcomed change indeed . . . there were films and popcorn and curling close, long walks and dinners outdoors and sun-soaked rooftops, cakes and cupcakes and billowy summer dresses, and most of all leafy, sun-dappled gardens and time for all the plans dancing about in daydreams . . .

hope you've had a summery, romantic weekend & that it was beautiful where you are, roséline xo

. . . palest pink and floods of light, fashion designer jennifer nicholson's santa monica home is an enchanting mix of beautiful things -- jewel-laden mirrors and crystal chandeliers, gilt tables and intricately laid marble floors, glamorous mirrored consoles and luxe floral wallpaper, vintage leopard print velvet and best of all, an impossibly romantic seashell-encrusted fireplace . . .

. . . a late hazy august morning, sipping coffee and falling in love with the soft, understated elegance of rachel ashwell's london flat, where every room feels like a dreamy and languid late-summer's afternoon enveloped in a soft and delicate light and the warmth of shades of palest pink and bits of gold . . .

{home of kirsten hermann, stylist & gallerist}

. . . my wonderful friend felicity always sends along the most amazing things, and freunde von freunden is one of them: a berlin-based selby-esque {perhaps a little more gritty & artsy} project by german design agency no more sleep, that documents the agency's friends, partners and creative people around berlin in their living or workspace; overflowing with visual details, the shots are glimpses that feel like an exclusive look behind the scenes . . .
