GLAMOUR PHOTOGRAFY

. . . nearly the weekend, and after a week of meetings and the possibilities of new projects, overflowing inboxes and perfectly elegant ponytails, it's time for things to get a little sexier -- cat eyes and pretty pink lips, and spectacularly upswept hair . . .

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

. . . this weekend was spent on dinner dates, following afternoons wandering about the shops, intoxicating new fragrances and impossibly decadent fleur de sel chocolate, the scent of french cade & lavender always drifting romantically through the air, and evening walks in the rain . . .

hope you've had a wonderfully lovely weekend, and it's beautiful where you are, roséline xo

. . . and it has been a very long time since the last hair how-to, and after a little shopping for next week's trip to new york, all that is left are shoes {perhaps these?}, and the perfect up-do, and if you have been reading for a while, you will know about a love for brigitte bardot-esque hair, and so, a few tips on how to keep things sexy & tousled . . .

. . . hello! hope you had a wonderful weekend & it's lovely to see you again . . . dashing out the door {late!} for appointments and the flower markets, but first, a quick hello . . . and for the first time in a while, the happy chaos of the past exciting & busy weeks is subsiding {just a little}, and everything feels as if it were slowly becoming a little more organised and falling beautifully into place, and just in time, as the last part of summer always seems to be the busiest; the nights already feel a little cooler, and the mornings have a certain freshness, and there is a {nearly imperceptible} and altogether irresistible something new and adventurous in the air . . .



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

roséline xo

. . . yesterday was one of those days were it seemed as if inspiration was always just nearly out of grasp, and while coffee & a moment of repose, a late lunch date and a little fresh air seemed to help, when all else fails, {with the exception of a flight to paris}, there are always ribbons, ruffles, and tulle, tulle, tulle . . .

{p.s.} what do you do when you're in search of inspiration?

I would love to live
Like a rivers flows.
Carried by the surprise
Of its own unfolding.

"With the new day comes new strength and new thoughts."

. . . this weekend is late mornings, tea & toast and sexy tousled hair, and even later evenings, upswept and party dresses . . .

wishing you a wonderful weekend & hope it's beautiful where you are,

. . . aside from lovely party dresses during the holidays, also looking forward to glamorous chignons and pretty upswept hair. . .

{via a glamorous little side project}

No time for a pretty updo or lovely chignon this morning . . . definitely a top-knot and trench on the way out the door kind of day -- and coffee -- many, many cups of coffee . . .

{hope you had a beautiful weekend!}

{p.s.} what do you think about twitter?
still trying to figure out what to use it for . . .
