GLAMOUR PHOTOGRAFY

. . . always a little wistful at this time of year, as each passing day drenched in warm, golden rays draws us a little closer to summer's inevitable end . . . and so, this weekend was spend in the sunlight, in deep conversations and in candlelight, and in the space where daydreams and reality intermingle . . . and there are a million amazing projects and exciting new ventures and sometimes far too easy to get caught up in the excitement, and for this reason and from this moment, shall stop for a moment to catch a breath and remember to hold on to the last golden rays for as long as possible. . .

happy monday! hope you had a summery, romantic weekend, and that it was beautiful where you are, roséline xo

. . . with summer days flying by, irresistibly drawn, more and more, to the lure of the ocean, and to slowing things down, just a little . . . and this light and lovely oceanside cottage, with its billowy curtains and seashell chandelier, bright white & seaglass palette and spectacularly breathtaking view, was made for nothing more than to lounge about in the ocean breezes . . .

. . . two lovely things {besides coffee & croissants for breakfast this morning, of course}: a little time to catch up on a few nearly late projects and even a few emails, and positively filling every room with enormous bouquets of peonies . . .

. . . nearly impossible not to be utterly captivated by this perfectly tiny and devastatingly romantic victorian cottage in the catskills, all draped in netting and dusky white and overflowing with ruffly bed linens and silver tea services, antique mirrors and chandeliers, and limoges china patterned in tiny rosebuds -- an enchanting summery retreat for long and luxurious afternoons spent dreaming, dreaming to the soft sounds of a sunlit stream . . .

As balmy breezes turn crisp and longer days fall silently into dusk earlier each night, am longingly aware that soon the pretty summer dresses and opened-toed sandals will be set aside for long scarves and soft cardigans . . . {and here: the last of the summer whites}
