GLAMOUR PHOTOGRAFY

. . . la vie est faite de petits bonheurs / life is full of little pleasures, and of those, were the many lovely moments spent here, and so, thank you for the mornings you've dreamed away over coffee, and the evenings over wine, and especially to those who have taken the time to say hello everyday, and for all the [sometimes heartrendingly] lovely notes & letters over the past year -- it has been wonderful to share little glimpses of life and moments of sheer and utter beauty with you, and while there will be many more beautiful things to get hopelessly lost in, to come, but for now, it's fairy lights and champagne cocktails, cut-crystal glasses of vintage chianti by the fire, and moments of such loveliness, it will cause one's breath to catch . . .

wishing you a holiday filled with love and magic, and that it's beautiful wherever in the world you may be,

{p.s.} and to p, thank you for literally saving christmas this year, although must confess you save it every year, and can not wait to spend every single moment for the next few days with you ♥

"At the ballet, you really feel like you're in the presence of something outside the rest of your life. Higher than the rest of your life. "

. . . a million and one wonderful things still left to do this week, business trips and summer weekends away, projects & plans and letters & emails . . . and so, a few moments to collect thoughts and get lost for a short while in late-spring things -- glossy pages to flip through, a box of chocolate truffles tied with ribbon, the sound of crashing waves and the beautiful silence of warm summer whites . . .

{p.s.} exciting news a little later

. . . a very late but warm hello! it's lovely to see you again . . . this weekend was miles and miles of sunshine, some time at the shops and a new pair of perfectly chic suede summer sandals with gilded clasps; long walks at sunset and a saturday night film {bill cunningham new york -- [have you seen? so good]} with buttery popcorn; scented candles in the evening and strong coffee in the mornings, a table for two high above the world, with utterly breathtaking views of the city, and gardens overflowing with the intoxicating scent of white lilacs and sweet-smelling secret bunches of lilies of the valley . . .

happy monday! hope you had a beautiful weekend filled with little moments of repose & that your week is off to a perfect start, roséline xo

. . . classic, asymmetrical and draped intermingled with sheer flutters and whispers and light-as-air shades of champagne at chloé . . .

{p.s.} all in white

. . . this weekend is leisurely dinners in cozy british pubs, soft mohair sweaters and frothy lattes at an early afternoon match, and in the evenings, candlelit conversations that last long into the night . . .

have a beautiful, beautiful weekend, everyone!
