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

{hair inspiration | at the office : the wrapped ponytail}
. . . as you know, on busy days, often prefer elegantly no-nonsense hairstyles, such as a chignon, topknot, or classic ponytail, and this one, swept over and wrapped, is a sophisticated take on the original, and is perfectly polished for the office, or, when paired with a silk camisole trimmed in sequins, perfect for when the work is done . . .

{lookbook: frida gustavsson for h&m winter 2011}
. . . 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 . . .

{summer style: a low ponytail}
. . . may very well switch the signature summer chignon for a low, casually elegant & hermès beribboned ponytail . . .
