GLAMOUR PHOTOGRAFY

. . . and the weekend began with an enormous bouquet of palest pink long stem roses, and in between afternoon sunshine and starlit dinners, there was [finally] the chance to see the film, melancholia [beautiful, depressing], and there were visits with old friends, barbeques and beaujolais, and many hours spent planning for the enormous [& enormously exciting] changes ahead, and today, a new week, filled with brand new and wonderful things . . . one of which, is below . . .

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

. . . and you may have noticed, around wednesday, last week, things slowed down, just a little, and all for very good reason, for that day, mid-week, a parcel arrived in the post that changed everything, and threw the week beautifully askew with much extravagant excitement and a sparkling glass [or two] to celebrate; this week, of course, will be [somewhat] back to normal, with new articles and lovely things to share, along with a few exciting announcements, intermingled, of course, the lingering excitement of the past week—even still—alongside spring in the air . . .

happy monday! hope you had an utterly beautiful mid-march weekend, and that your week is off to a perfect start, —roséline xo

. . . was just remarking how the weekend positively flew by, as if a dream, one that was filled with pastel-coloured pastries and chocolat fleur de sel biscuits [every delectable bite all but gone now], and visits with the past, a wardrobe of lace-lined cardigans, striped gold sequined tops and coral cashmere sweaters, and now on this sun-drenched early-march monday, fast approaching the wrapping up stages of a few projects, and with the near arrival of spring comes many other wonderful things . . .

. . . hello! lovely to see you again, and how was your weekend? ours was filled with a [quite insane] busy-ness, much different from the recent luxuriously low-key weekends of late, late mornings and sunday brunches; this one was filled with unfinished projects, paint and brushes and drywall dust thrown into the mix for most of the time, with a few moments, happily, on sunday evening, for the oscars [didn't gwyneth look amazing?]; and now, extravagantly happy for a new week, just to have things back to a regular pace again, although there is now a mountain of things left to catch up on, and so, very late weekend links to follow, but for now, a flurry of tangerine tango & a quick hello . . .

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

. . . and after the beautiful insanity of the past few weeks, and all of the wonderful things that seem to be happening all at once, it was lovely to slow things down, just a little, over the weekend, passing the hours over long dinners in favourite restaurants, and at quiet tables in cosy pubs, late evenings watching films and saturday afternoon at the shops for spring jackets, lipstick and lovely lacy things, and now it's monday, monday, and there is coffee and so much to look forward to this week . . .

hope you've had an impossibly lovely weekend, and that your week is off to a perfect start —roséline xo

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

. . . the place is in a bit of a topsy turvy state, as all things are before change, and this week's to-do lists are miles long, but it's lovely to be back after a beautiful weekend, and before it all begins . . .



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

. . . 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



{p.s.} also : a flurry of new posts from just before the weekend, which you [very likely] may have missed:

. . . the first week of this new year has already been a spectacular flurry of activity, beginning with a new tiffany blue & gold-leafed daybook waiting to be filled, and on the eve of new year's day, a meeting in a hotel lobby amidst the still twinkling post-holiday fairy lights, to plot and to plan and to dream, and there is so much to tell you, including, currently, two enormously exciting projects in the works, a wedding in paris in june, and still to come, the grandest adventure of all, that may just change everything -- and so, it is wild anticipation that we begin the second week of this new year . . .

. . . monday, monday, and it's back to work, and yet, there is something different in the air, making it nearly impossible not to daydream and plan, and everywhere, trees are twinkling with fairy lights and a little magic, and everything, as if over night, feels a little more festive . . .

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

. . . so lovely to see you again -- how was your weekend? ours was spent mostly in a cosy tangle on the sofa, amongst lace curtains and leopard print cushions, and there were films and chocolate and cheesecake, leisurely walks in the last of the fallen leaves and mornings in sunlight, and, for a change from the usual french fare, a traditional sunday dinner, roast and rosemary new potatoes, brussels sprouts, carrots and yorkshire pudding, and at the end of it all, a little time to breath in the last days of autumn . . .

happy monday! hope you've had a beautiful weekend, and that your week is off to a perfect start, roséline xo

. . . hello! it's lovely to see you again -- how was your weekend? here, there was much, much relaxing, all the way and blissfully through until sunday evening, at which time, finally and reluctantly, all the summer things were stowed away [as planned quite some time ago], closets emptied and old favourite blouses and spring sweaters rediscovered; there was also time for many cups of coffee and long, slow mornings, the light flooding in, little by little as time slipped dreamily by . . .

[and now, a new week and back to work, and already, a few things:]

* updates to features & favourites, especially the how-to section
* new, upcoming {take me away} & {favourite five} posts
* and a few tips & tricks for iphone photography

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

. . . 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

"There is time for work. And there is time for love. That leaves no other time."

. . . and after traipsing about in lyon, geneva, annecy & paris for the past ten days, long-lost family and some seen only recently, grainy old photographs, conversations in french, red wine and happy memories, and after only a day back again with cases still unpacked and so much to catch up on, it's monday, monday and very much back to work, on a brand new week positively filled with beautiful things: a new {favourite five}, as well as the second installment of {take me a way}, sarah's new travel series, and of course, a million photographs from recent travels, near & far, but first, a glimpse at the mountain lodge from a few weeks past . . .

happy monday! it's lovely to see you again -- hope you had a beautiful weekend & that your week is off to a perfect start, roséline xo



{images: pretty stuff}

. . . 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
