GLAMOUR PHOTOGRAFY

. . . hello! after a busy & lovely weekend, a [very] late start here, and how are things? the new week is already filled with a million things, including still more sorting & organising [beribboned boxes of old photographs, long-lost love letters and beautifully written correspondence cards], and plotting & plan-making, meetings and appointments and telephone calls, but also, moments of leisure in all of the busy-ness, for catching up with an old friend, and lattes and mid-day lunch dates . . .

hope you had a beautiful weekend, and that your week is off to a perfect start, —roséline xo

. . . 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

. . . on thursday night, took a little time to play around with the wonderful collection of nail varnishes scattered about, on powder room shelves and mirrored vanities, for a change, rather than stopping by the salon, and came up with the absolute prettiest combination -- palest pink & flecks of gold, perfect for this weekend's dinners and gallivants around & about . . .

{p.s.} how to : essie first base base coat // 2-3 coats of chanel le vernis nail colour in 463 rose satin [any pale pink or blush should work] // several coats of sephora by o.p.i. gold glitter top coat x

. . . despite recently picking up summery shades of crisp white & palest sunset pink, and exclusively wearing gold on fingers & toes for the past few weeks, have been falling for the CND ruffian matte moon manicure for its decidedly nautical pairing of gold & navy, created by painting pre-made gold tips with a coat of navy polish and a mattifier, perfect for summer afternoons and oceanside dreams . . .

. . . daydreams may float with vibrant colours and spring breezes, but scarcely february and have just purchased a new pair of tall boots to replace the three ruined by snow, sleet and rain, and still stepping out in cool & classic shades of ebony and onyx; and while some days, there may be clouds, here, they are always lined in gold -- and so, a perfect intermingling of the two . . .
