{wishing you an impossibly beautiful weekend & a happy new year!}

. . . and it is nearly unimaginable how we could have already arrived at this, the very last post of what has been, in so many ways, an extraordinary year, and while the past weeks and months [especially the last few] are, at this moment, but a beautiful blur, it is for certain that they were filled with impossibly beautiful things, and tonight, before the champagne and oysters, foie gras & truffles, and midnight kiss, a quick stop to say hello: what ever plans you may have for new year's eve, and whatever dreams for the new year, wishing you, for tonight and forever, moments of adventure and of magic, and most of all, for more beauty than your heart could possibly contain . . .

here's to a magical evening & a most wonderful weekend, and, of course, that it's beautiful wherever in the world you may be, roséline xo

{two lovely things: golden shades of autumn}

. . . nearly november, and there has been overcast skies, blustery, leaf-strewn winds, and bouts of rain, and so, to brighten these last october days, golden artwork and gilded accents, warm white cable knits and sun-soaked high-waisted trousers, and it's off to the flower markets for as many bouquets as one can possibly carry . . .

{colour inspiration: shades of denim}

. . . hello, again! it's lovely to see you -- currently writing from a cosy seat in front of the fire, in a spectacular lodge of warm, time-worn wood, elegant floor coverings and tartan sofas, and our beautiful two-day stay here has come to a close on this blustery, sunny friday, and after spending yesterday afternoon sipping champagne in a stunning handcrafted mahogany boat [a hacker craft, for those who know their boats] in a favourite pair of wide-legged jeans and trench, was reminded of how nautical inspiration moves perfectly from hazy summer mornings to crisp autumn days . . .

{p.s.} regular posting shall resume next week & there is so much to tell you! x

Rebecca Minkoff Party Hosted by Agyness Deyn

Agyness is such a style icon, I am completely in love with her gorgeous outfit. I guess we both like animal print:)

The beautiful and stylish LA crowd...

Lauren Conrad is absolutely gorgeous and sweet! 

I am such a huge fan of Dexter, meeting Jennifer Carpenter was such a huge honor. 

Jayma Mays from Glee had this fantastic belted purple blazer on, I wanted to steel it right off of her:)

Check out Rebecca Minkoff's HOT pregnancy style! Those heels are so fantastic! I had my eye on them for a while!

I want them all!!!

STUDS!!!!  

Did you guys really think I could leave without trying a pair of boots on!  They will be mine!

Ah, the changing rooms transformed into retro phone booth. So, after a few, ok 2, glasses of champagne Emil and I had some fun!

These are my mostly-sitting-around shoes! 

The End:)

I had a pleasure of being invited to the Rebecca Minkoff Party at Confederacy hosted by Agyness Deyn.  It was such a spectacular night.I am a huge fan of her bags and shoes and  I was completely blown away by her gorgeous ready to wear line. A brilliant mix of easy separates in luxurious fabrics. Amazing prints and cuts! I have a feeling you will be seeing quite a bit from her line on my blog in the future.

      I just wanted to thank everyone for participating in ROMWE Retro Bag Giveaway! 

The GIVEAWAY ends August 15, 2011, so there is still plenty of time to join. 

I wish everyone the best of luck!

Hope you all have a great weekend,

Love,

Ananbelle
