GLAMOUR PHOTOGRAFY

. . . and the realization that it was already [and impossibly] mid-december set in this morning, even before the first cup of coffee, and there are still so many plans to make, and things to do, and if you're running a little behind on the holiday shopping, as is the case here, a few perfectly pretty things, for best friends [or yourself], in shades of blush and bits of gold . . .

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

{p.s.} and also for décor

. . . perhaps it is the thought of april showers, but lately have been adoring bold stripes and bright florals, rich greens and royal blues, saffron-hued lips and perfect bands of colour . . .

{p.s.} fuchsia lips & sexy brights

May you have warm words
on a cold evening,
A full moon on a dark night,
And the road downhill
all the way to your door.

. . . a flurry of things this past few weeks and can hardly believe that it is nearly & already only one week left until christmas, and in all this dashing about . . . by day, it's been white lacy dresses strewn with a million floating snowflakes, strands of elegant pearls and satin platform pumps, pink champagne truffles and the softest suede foldover clutches . . . and by night, it's all black satin and sequins and the intoxicating scent of deep florals and lotus wood . . .

. . . may have played with the notion of winter white, or pale & pretty neutrals, bits of silver, or warm slate & evergreen, and perhaps even crimson, but in the end, knew it would always be glittering gold . . .

. . . have been known to wear red lipstick nearly everywhere -- on early morning walks with the dog, at the shops and in the rain, and sometimes even to the gym, but very rarely, if ever, decorate with or wear the colour red . . . and yet, somehow, and only next to gold {an all-time favourite}, shades of scarlet, crimson and vermilion, always elegant and wonderfully festive in the form of short and stylish party dresses, are perfectly and utterly irresistable at this time of year . . .
