GLAMOUR PHOTOGRAFY

. . . this weekend was one of celebrations, and there were fireplaces alight with a million flickering candles and glassess of champagne on carerra, late dinner reservations, and later cocktails & dessert; cashmere cardigans with crystal buttons and velvet brocade at sunday brunch; there were vintage shops and flower markets and delectable eggs benedict, narcissi and bouquet upon intoxicating bouquet of roses in shades of coral and sun-drenched yellow and pale, pale cerise . . .

hope you've had a perfect winter weekend, and that it's beautiful wherever in the world you may be, roséline xo

. . . early sunday evening, on a day that began with a late start and a long brunch, leisurely conversations and many cups of coffee, memories of last night's dinner at a new favourite french restaurant {the third time in three weeks!}, stilling lingering -- tarte flambée traditional, with bacon, onion, fromage blanc, and gruyère, and a glass of côtes du rhône in the astonishing and silver moonlight -- and tonight, it's repainting everything a romantic and lacy white, old books & magazines and memories in boxes, and early tomorrow morning, the flower markets for a million roses, and last-minute arranging for guests arriving for the upcoming and last weeks of summertime . . .



hope you're having a perfectly lovely mid-august weekend, and that it's beautiful where you are, roséline xo

. . . 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

. . . a luxuriously low-key weekend spent lounging in golden sweaters and linen trousers, a late-night film {midnight in paris -- have you seen?} and a starlight stroll under the still-lingering scent of lilacs, slices of walnut bread & honey comb and many cups of coffee, and most of all, the sharing of secrets and the making of plans . . .

. . . 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

. . . last week's links fell away to the excitement and utter romance of the royal wedding, and this week's nearly fell away to late dinner dates and charming company; saturday afternoon at the market and evenings of sparkling lemon spritzers and unbearably exciting plans; long sunday afternoon walks in impossible sunshine and the stunningly heady scent of hyacinths . . .

hope you had a lovely weekend & that it was beautiful where you are, roséline xo
