"September: it was the most beautiful of words, he’d always felt, evoking orange-flowers, swallows, and regret."

- Alexander Theroux, 1981





......................................................................................................



. . . the only fleeting regrets being, perhaps, the end of late dinners on balmy rooftop terraces at sunset and hours dreamily slipping by at the beach -- but september has its own beautiful charms: dusky mornings and french press coffee, soft leather clutches and wide-legged jeans, socks & heels and chic belted trenches, and most of all, wool tartan blankets as the leaves fall . . .



happy september! wishing you sun-drenched days as summer falls away and wonderful things to look forward this autumn, roséline xo

. . . always a little wistful at this time of year, as each passing day drenched in warm, golden rays draws us a little closer to summer's inevitable end . . . and so, this weekend was spend in the sunlight, in deep conversations and in candlelight, and in the space where daydreams and reality intermingle . . . and there are a million amazing projects and exciting new ventures and sometimes far too easy to get caught up in the excitement, and for this reason and from this moment, shall stop for a moment to catch a breath and remember to hold on to the last golden rays for as long as possible. . .

happy monday! hope you had a summery, romantic weekend, and that it was beautiful where you are, roséline xo

. . . and if there was any doubt as to how fleeting the summer months are, one week of wimbledon, the world's oldest & most prestigious tennis tournament, has already come and gone, unavoidably missed, due to wonderful projects and whirlwind travels, but, happily, still the final week left of royal attendees and crisp summer whites, impossible excitement and, of course, strawberries & cream . . .

. . . often thought to clash, red hair & lipstick actually looks rather fetching, don't you think? . . . and despite the myriad of beautiful options for taming winter tresses, still clinging to a chic and messy topknot or a classic chignon for simplicity's sake, although now may be a little inspired to weave a tangle of braids . . .

{a new week}

Birthday celebrations ran into the weekend, and with salon appointments and dinner engagements, am running a little behind this morning . . . Also especially behind on comments and e-mails and may need to take a few moments to catch up today . . .

Happy Monday! Hope you had a lovely weekend.
