GLAMOUR PHOTOGRAFY

. . . while the no. 21 collection may have been filled with fluttery fabrics and delicate lace for the work day, and elie saab, with soft draping and daytime sequins, the antonio berardi pre-fall collection is all stunning structured jackets and long, angular capes, belted coats with voluminous sleeves and carefully fitted dresses, ultra thin leather belts and powdery suede boots, juxtaposed against luxurious satin secretary blouses tied in bows . . .

. . . the morning began with coffee and balmy late-spring breezes, water fountains and farmers' markets for butter tarts and honey, meetings & appointments and a late-lunch of barbequed salmon & asparagus, and now, emails and macarons and a little tea and the days have been so sunny lately, can hardly stand it . . .

happy wednesday! hope you're having perfectly lovely week so far,
roséline xo

{p.s} more high tea

. . . an entire thirty-three days of the new year has already come and gone, and so far, things are off to a beautiful start -- have somehow, someway, managed to keep all resolutions, and for some long-forgotten {sentimental, perhaps, romantic, for certain} reason, february has always been one of my very favourite months . . .

happy brand new month! hope it is filled with endless love & possibilities,
xo

{p.s.} more tiffany's blue inspiration

. . . there has been much dreaming and planning lately, which somehow, always leads to the ocean, and today, thoughts are drifting to glittering coral sunsets and ocean waves in that magical, inexplicable shade just between turquoise and azure . . .

. . . soft mohair throws and paper flower hearts, elegant monograms and pretty lacy envelopes, sheer silk blouses and sexy pencil skirts -- there's romance in the air, and in dusky and dreamy shades of mid-february blue . . .

Lunch with my sister and was reminded of a summer spent in the south of France, swimming in fascinating sea caves where the water hovered between an amazing shade of green and blue . . .

Forever drawn to the intoxicating lure of the ocean -- the salty air, the rise and fall of crashing waves, seaglass, scallop shells and starfish, and these intricately beautiful grotto shell chandeliers that have such a magical, underwater allure . . .
