. . . always and forever photographing little snippets of life -- beautiful vignettes and new french desserts, glimmering chandeliers on warm summer nights, captured in memory and forever in time, and so, completely fell in love with the concept behind creative director, jane cameron's, blog, which is filled with these little magazine moments . . .
{p.s.} a few of my magazine moments
r e c e n t p l a c e s :
* at the gallery
* at an oceanside cottage
* in the kitchen
* backstage at valentino

. . . and while on the topic of spending the rest of these summer days outdoors, dining by sun & stars, a sunny yellow table setting to brighten things up even more . . . pass the champagne, please!

......................................................................................................
. . . was one of those perfect weekends drenched in summer sun and leisurely brunches, wild roses and chandeliers against blue skies, brie and paté and glasses of mimosas, an afternoon at the the antique markets, lingering between cake stands and milk glass, and now, a new week and there are cases to pack and flights to catch, a million things to do before in between . . .
hope you've had a beautiful weekend & that your week is off to a perfect start, roséline xo

{diy: wallpapered cabinets}
. . . have been a little obsessed with wallpapered cabinets for as long as can remember {recently here & here}, and even came across an extensive china cabinet that was papered and cleverly reconfigured as a display case for shoes, and ever since, have fallen more in love, and so, utterly delighted to come across interior designer amy, from the blog maison decor's, beautiful makeover of a french provincial china cabinet . . .
{p.s.} didn't it turn out beautifully? and also: a secretary repainted in paris grey

{two lovely things: open shelves & elegant black}
. . . while lately have been favouring wallpapered cabinets, {especially in romantic spring florals}, had forgotten how classically beautiful shades of onyx and midnight can be for showcasing stacks of beautiful books and antiques, or a collection of everyday dishware and fine china, and adore how strikingly lovely the palest pink of the roses and stacks of gold-rimmed teacups look against such a background . . .
{p.s.} more black shelving
{images: 1 - patrick cline for lonny; 2 - high gloss}
{décor inspiration: gracefully gilded}
. . . always a fondness for gold & gilded things, bookcases and nested tables and delicate dishes, especially if they are a perfect mix of porcelain and gold and made in paris and can already imagine them with floral vintage china or at an early autumn picnic . . .

{at the shops: cranberry milk}
The lovely shop Cranberry Milk is filled with wonderfully pretty French-inspired things for the home and office -- from picnic baskets to lavender mugs, numbered paper clips and polka-dot tape -- and despite being unable to read the text, it's all so beautifully photographed, everything feels as if it belongs in a charming stone cottage in Provence . . .

Another wonderful Fall week has come and gone . . . Will be certain to stay away from work {at least for a bit} and dance the night away in impossibly high heels . . .
Have a lovely, lovely weekend everyone! xo
