{a new week | so much beauty & hello}

. . . more backstage photographs at elie saab have surfaced, and they are, to be certain, as exquisitely lovely as the last, and as such, impossible to resist -- the enchanting glimpses of little moments and astonishingly beautiful details are spectacularly lovely . . . and this week has already begun much busier than the last, and so, things may be a little sporadic here & there, but there are a million new and beautiful things to get lost in and to share, and so it goes . . .

hope you had a wonderful weekend, and that your week is off to a perfect start, —roséline xo

{hair inspiration | at the office : the wrapped ponytail}

. . . as you know, on busy days, often prefer elegantly no-nonsense hairstyles, such as a chignon, topknot, or classic ponytail, and this one, swept over and wrapped, is a sophisticated take on the original, and is perfectly polished for the office, or, when paired with a silk camisole trimmed in sequins, perfect for when the work is done . . .

* the double knot
* the sexy bouffant
