{late friday musings & hello}

. . . hello! . . . the week has very much gotten away, as you can imagine [where does the time go?], but as the philosophy here is always better late than never, shall still share a few last and lovely things before the weekend, even as most have already dashed off for much-anticipated after-office cocktails, but in the event there are a few moments here & there, stop by if you like, especially for the beautiful diy had mentioned earlier in the week . . .

à bientôt‎ / see you soon, —roséline xo

Hacienda San Angel, Pool Room.


Summer Flowers.
. . . and it has been far too long since have discovered a new blog so filled with inspiration, it is impossible not to fall completely into page after page, hotel rooms and crashing waves, roses and Cannes, chandeliers and flower markets, and sunlight on a saturday morning . . .


Saturday morning.


Pretty house, London.


Chandelier & Silk Tent, Psych Spa at the Parker.

{a new month | happy february & hello}

. . . with so much happening lately, had nearly forgotten to wish you a happy february! already into the second month of this new year, and must confess that this month is actually one of my very favourites, for many reasons, and especially this year, with all of the exciting new things still to come [so very soon now -- can not wait to tell you] . . . hope your week has been lovely, lovely -- a few more things to share today, and still, weekend wishes & links, but for now, a quick hello on this beautiful february day . . .

{p.s.} and of course, if you're just arriving or may have missed : this week's beautiful give-away x

{photography | still-intimate-life by inês nepomuceno}

. . . there is something quite mesmerising about the still life photographs of inês nepomuceno — taken in a studio with an analog camera, a series of photographs of her daily meals, "the banality of this food was transformed by the medium" into a beautiful play of light & shadow, resulting in a painterly quality that is strikingly lovely . . .

{style inspiration | on the vanity & in the makeup kit : a few favourites}

. . . one of the fondest memories of growing up was my mother's movie-star dressing rooms -- enormous and luxurious, and with those pretty white lights that trail all the way around the large looking glass above the vanity, upon which was always a beautiful scattering of perfume bottles and golden hairpins, and every kind of beauty product one could possibly imagine -- it was a most magical place for a little girl, and needless to say, spent many, many hours utterly lost in spritzes of heady perfume, dustings of silvery eyeshadows and dashes of lipstick, and watching my mother get ready for dinner parties and evening soirées . . .



. . . and as there have been so many requests, thought it might be lovely, [with a little winter light & p's stunning photography], to share a glimpse of a few favourite things on the vanity and of the moment . . .

Flower Antlers

These antlers with flowers are all photographed by Kari Herer. Funny thing is, despite being a strict pescetarian, I've been long collecting antlers and skulls ever since I was little (you can see a tiny glimpse of it in my SF apt) and I even have a huge love for taxidermy (those in SF, you must visit Paxton Gate!)

I'm happy I found these beautiful photographs as I can try something like this on some of my antlers (I already tried it on my steer head.)

Btw, did you know while horns are kept for life, antlers fall off each year and regrow bigger? So don't fret when you see a pair of antlers! ;)

{table for two: pure vegetarian by laksmi, finland}

. . . helsinki-based photographer & vegetarian, lakshmi wennäkoski-bielicki's, portfolio is so captivating, it is enough to make one regret not being even slightly proficient in the kitchen -- the light and utterly lovely photographs are every bit as stunning as the dishes featured -- delectable things such as pulla, a finnish sweet bread, handmade pasta with sage & pinenuts, and fig tart with frozen pecan pudding . . .

{décor inspiraton: beautiful details}

. . . while spring may be a time for paring down, autumn is for layering -- for sweaters and long scarves and at home, wool blankets and velvet drapes, and a need to revel in beautiful details, and perfectly ornate bits of gold -- along the edges exotic woods and around the graceful curves of spiral staircases . . .

{new york 3: chadwick bell at the standard}

. . . still sorting through a million photographs, including ones [p took] of the amazing mountain lodge in the adirondacks [can not wait to show you], and came across these ones of the chadwick bell spring rtw 2012 collection presentation at the standard -- again, had forgotten a camera, having only an iphone, and despite dim lighting and swirling motion, the photographs came out rather lovely . . .









{p.s.} as always, more after the jump . . .
