GLAMOUR PHOTOGRAFY

. . . and while on the topic of beautiful spring nights . . . perfectly delighted to announce that this week's give-away is from london-based olivia von halle, maker of impossibly chic silk pyjama sets inspired by the ones worn by coco chanel in the 1920's; perfect for lounging on the terrace with coffee and croissants on a languid sunday morning, or for extravagantly late nights . . .



CONTINUE ---------------------------------->

. . . have always adored secret squirrel's 'quiet luxury and modern unassuming style', and the new winter 12 collection, art class, is as pretty as ever, with fun geometric patterns, sexy short trenches and shades of heather grey, blush and coral, that will make mornings before the office a perfect breeze . . .

. . . isn't this the loveliest silk dress? at once sexy & pretty -- belted and with heels, and it's off for a late lunch date with devastatingly handsome company . . .

{p.s.} more of this collection: one // two // three // four

. . . and if you find yourself having far too lovely a time on weekends, leaving the beginning of the work week with little time to spare: a silk bow blouse in pretty polka dots & a low ponytail for easy elegance, and it's coffee and out the door in perfect style . . .

. . . and while it may still be a little early for chunky knits -- it is, after all, a brilliantly sunny september day -- there have, already, been a few cashmere mornings, and a few trench coat evenings, around and about, as the light begins to fade; and today, plans are beginning to fall into place for the moment, for next week, for the future . . .







{p.s.} previous sessùn: one | two | three

. . . exceptionally fond of wallpapered backgrounds {& wallpaper in general}, and add to that, 1950's styling, perfectly prim hair and coral lips, and one nearly misses the stunning debut fall/winter 2011 collection by russian photographer turned designer ulyana sergeenko in this beautiful lookbook -- the shimmery & sweeping turquoise tweed skirts paired with sexy sheer knits, and light-as-air ruffles & pleats paired with luxe velvet clutches and crimson heels are a perfect mix of naughty & nice . . .

CONTINUE ---------------------------------->

. . . every once in a while, a collection comes along that is sheer perfection, and the kaufmanfranco fw11 collection, a stunning collaboration between designers ken kaufman and isaac franco, is just that -- with its sweeping camel coats and shimmery halter dresses, belted knits and sexy details, it is an altogether beautiful combination of rock & refined . . .

. . . hello! hope you had a wonderful weekend & it's lovely to see you again . . . dashing out the door {late!} for appointments and the flower markets, but first, a quick hello . . . and for the first time in a while, the happy chaos of the past exciting & busy weeks is subsiding {just a little}, and everything feels as if it were slowly becoming a little more organised and falling beautifully into place, and just in time, as the last part of summer always seems to be the busiest; the nights already feel a little cooler, and the mornings have a certain freshness, and there is a {nearly imperceptible} and altogether irresistible something new and adventurous in the air . . .



happy monday! hope your week is off to a perfect start,

. . . while at the shops last week, must confess, was a little distressed to already find fall shades of olive and rust, and so, was delighted to happen upon h&m's winter lookbook, filled with deliriously lovely autumn brights in beautiful hues of flax and cerise, white and dusky violet, deep turquoise and gold . . .

. . . such fun to see liu wen in j.crew's latest lookbook, and in stripes, no less, as well as velvet city shorts, fitted blazers and wide-legged jeans, silk blouses and soft cardigans in the prettiest shade of pink . . .









{p.s.} also fun: jessica stam for j.crew

. . . it's only tuesday and already it feels as if things are whirling along at astonishing speeds -- what is it about summertime that makes it fly by so? . . . aside from work & projects, happily, this time of year is also positively filled with wonderful things, and vienna-based label braøseweddå's bonnie & clyde themed lookbook captures today's mood perfectly . . .

{p.s.} also new today: sophisticated seventies style

. . . this weekend has been filled with such lovely things -- strong coffee and frothy lattes, chocolate & banana crêpes at sunday brunch, and dinner at a favourite restaurant {for dessert: a warm chocolate brownie with peanut butter mousse and banana ice cream, sprinkled with peanuts, and drizzled with the most decadent caramel sauce}, conversations from oceans away and taxis in the rain, time at the shops {a new shimmery gold top} and long walks in the late-may sun, the strains of opera music in the background and just the two of us . . .

hope you're having a perfectly romantic {long} weekend & that it's beautiful where you are, roséline xo
