. . . the place is in a state of disarray, for, instead of spring cleaning, it's winter cleaning, for, as you know, currently in the midst of some very exciting things that involve a bit of upheaval, and so, this weekend is red wine in cut crystal glasses, films and flower shops and photographs, a romantic dusting of snow on these [cosy] chilly nights, and love, love, love . . .
hope you're having an astonishingly wonderful weekend, and that it's beautiful where you are, roséline xo

{have a beautiful weekend & a few lovely links}
{monday, monday & autumn whites}
. . . and the summery things were not packed away, as planned, this past weekend, afternoons spent, rather, in the november sun, and evenings on dinner dates at old favourite places . . . but happily, there is still time, for whites, crisp & warm, have been drifting past summertime to autumn [here & here], and straight into winter . . .
{p.s.} at home, pair with warm tones & leopard print
{also} : winter shorts

{have a beautiful september weekend}
. . . this weekend has been an early sunday brunch -- lattes and fluttering late-summer leaves on a quaint, bustling terrace, and afterward, cobblestones and shops and silken satchels of lavender, cocktails with good friends, wide-legged jeans and golden sandals, and on this over-cast autumn-like day, already a feeling of change and, perhaps, somewhere in the clouds, the promise of new and magnificent things . . .
where ever in the world you may be, hope you've had [are having] an astonishingly lovely [long] weekend, and that it's beautiful where you are, roséline xo

{shelter me from the storm}
A few weeks ago, misplaced tickets to an art show and, in searching for them, discovered an enormous amount of magazines all over the place. Since then, have been searching for a contractor to build custom shelving to help keep things organized, but until then, shall have to dream up creative ways to keep the magazines from taking over our place . . .
. . . love the idea of using stacks of them for a bench or low shelf, made extra chic with a beautiful, rough wood plank
{p.s.} more storage ideas for past issues

Genlux Magazine...focus on luxury

Genlux Magazine is a sophisticated, yet approachable magazine about fashion and shopping. The one-year-old publication focuses on the posh LA shopping scene with regular mentions on famed boutiques such as Tracey Ross, Satine, Fred Segal, and so forth.
For the Fall Fashion issue, the magazine was so kind as to do a 6-item lookbook on Faire Frou Frou. Items from Carine Gilson, Guia la Bruna, Fleur T, Skin and Vera Wang were modeled, and all items have since been posted for purchase on Faire Frou Frou's website.
I have quite a few customers who are discovering Genlux for the first time, and I typically describe this magazine to them as being a bit like "C Magazine" in its high-end large glossy format, but with more focus on clothing and shopping. And for those customers who are unfamiliar with "C Magazine", it's a gorgeous publication about California lifestyles that's worth snatching up right away!
