. . . a collection of stunningly lovely lacy things has been quietly forming for some time now, even before its enchanting history was even a breath on lips, here, and so, on sleeves and gowns and gloves and shoes, the delicate whispers of white lace on a late spring afternoon . . .
. . . a few lovely springs things -- shoes & handbags -- in shades of blush, cloud and apricot, nude and champagne, with a touch of gold, [of course!] . . .
. . . running ever fashionably late, but weekend links, exciting news, and a few other lovely things to follow, but for now, a quick stop to say hello and to wish you a perfect spring weekend . . .
à bientôt / see you soon, —roséline xo hello! have a returned, as a promised, with a few lovely links, below x
"Autumn arrives in early morning, but spring at the close of a winter day."
~ Elizabeth Bowen
. . . of all the beautiful things there to look forward to in spring -- longer days and the promise of evenings on terraces, pastel dresses with golden shoes and the first magnolia blossoms -- perhaps the most intoxicating, might be the change to begin again at winter's end, fresh and new and in extravagant shades of spring white . . .
The day’s itinerary may have held a leisurely stroll along the canal and a lovely visit to the Basilica di San Marco, the Peggy Guggenheim Collection and Gallerie dell’Accademia, and perhaps even the Ca’ Pesaro; a stop or two for long lunch and a little shopping. But as the day of discoveries and sites comes to a close, the sun begins to set in the sky, casting an indescribable golden glow over the beautiful buildings and canals of this magical city.
There are gondolas with enchanted passengers return for the evening -- there are no cars, but vaporetti. Traditional melodies trail through the waterside streets, through the buildings, and over the rooftop terraces, creating such an impossibly beautiful mix of sights and sounds, and the night has just begun . . .
Movies have been made, novels have been written, and even songs have been sung about chocolate—celebrating its tradition, its magic and its wonderment.
And whether you prefer creamy, milk chocolate as smooth as silk, or enjoy the stark bitterness of a deep and intensely flavored dark chocolate, some say chocolate preferences can say a lot about a person. For whosoever has a love affair with chocolate, shall always . . .
If you plan to travel to Paris, Cannes, London, New York, Tokyo, or Hong Kong, you might make a stop at the legendary chocolatier, Robert Linxe's La Maison du Chocolat.
Originally founded in Paris, and "with over thirty years of expertise and ever evolving creativity", some might say the perfection of Linxe’s creations is unrivaled, and that the experience alone is worth a trip.
Made only of the purest, freshest ingredients, legendary chocolatier Robert Linxe's mouthwatering confections are noble, artistic creations that capture the essence of chocolate in its truest form and exalt its taste in every exquisitely memorable bite . . .
. . . and after searching the internets for a glamorous ipad case, my macbook air still travels around in an old foley & corinna black soft glazed leather jet set tote -- perhaps, time to pick up something new and this python laptop case [in chocolate], may be just the thing, matched, of course, with a pair of snakeskin studded valentino's . . .
