{hope you've had a beautiful spring weekend & a few lovely links}

“We are all mortal until the first kiss and the second glass of wine.”

— Eduardo Galeano

. . . and it has certainly been a weekend of kisses & wine, and bouquets of roses scattered about the place; there were pim's orange and banana bread, and a traditional sunday dinner with family from out of town; pretty pastel dresses and golden sandals, and that pervasive feeling, that has been hanging in the air for the past few months, of change and excitement for the next few days and weeks . . .

hope you've had an impossibly lovely spring weekend, and that it's beautiful where you are,

{hope you've had a beautiful weekend & a few lovely links}

. . . this weekend was one of chignons & pearls and romantic sunday walks along the water; pastel-coloured petals falling on golden coffee tables and afternoons soaked in sunlight; there were cut-crystal glasses of sparkling wine for two, and that certain feeling of feverish restlessness that comes just before the arrival of spring, and also before the final realisation of dreams . . .

hope you had a stunning march weekend, and that it's beautiful where you are, —roséline xo

{hope you've had an impossibly beautiful weekend & a few lovely links}

. . . this weekend was one of celebrations, and there were fireplaces alight with a million flickering candles and glassess of champagne on carerra, late dinner reservations, and later cocktails & dessert; cashmere cardigans with crystal buttons and velvet brocade at sunday brunch; there were vintage shops and flower markets and delectable eggs benedict, narcissi and bouquet upon intoxicating bouquet of roses in shades of coral and sun-drenched yellow and pale, pale cerise . . .

hope you've had a perfect winter weekend, and that it's beautiful wherever in the world you may be, roséline xo

. . . this weekend was cosy pubs with fireplaces and late, late nights with old friends, lazy sunday mornings and long cups of coffee in perfect slants of winter sunlight; and now, a few moments to catch up and dream and plan for the week ahead . . .

{have a beautiful weekend & a few lovely links}

. . . and while saturday mornings are lovely things in and of themselves, this one began drenched in golden sunlight, the kind that warms one's face on a bright winter's day, flooding hearts with happiness uncontained; and this weekend is red wine and good music, sorting & organising and plotting & planning, coffee table picnics and delicious nostalgia, and there's still sunday . . .

hope you're having a perfectly wonderful weekend, and that it's beautiful where you are, roséline xo

{wishing you a startling lovely & magical holiday}

. . . la vie est faite de petits bonheurs / life is full of little pleasures, and of those, were the many lovely moments spent here, and so, thank you for the mornings you've dreamed away over coffee, and the evenings over wine, and especially to those who have taken the time to say hello everyday, and for all the [sometimes heartrendingly] lovely notes & letters over the past year -- it has been wonderful to share little glimpses of life and moments of sheer and utter beauty with you, and while there will be many more beautiful things to get hopelessly lost in, to come, but for now, it's fairy lights and champagne cocktails, cut-crystal glasses of vintage chianti by the fire, and moments of such loveliness, it will cause one's breath to catch . . .

wishing you a holiday filled with love and magic, and that it's beautiful wherever in the world you may be,
roséline xo

. . . this weekend was spent on dinner dates, following afternoons wandering about the shops, intoxicating new fragrances and impossibly decadent fleur de sel chocolate, the scent of french cade & lavender always drifting romantically through the air, and evening walks in the rain . . .

{have a beautiful early november weekend}

. . . the plan was to [reluctantly] stow away the light & lovely dresses and pretty bed linens in favour of mohair, cashmere and italian wool; to unpack the heavy scottish tartan blanks for cosy evenings and to clear the closet of tiny shorts and flimsy tops for cable knit and tweed . . . but it has been sunny, sunny -- and perhaps, after a stroll amidst the fallen leaves, a stop for fish & chips, and a latte or two, perhaps then . . .

{hope you're having a beautiful autumn weekend}

. . . a late brunch on a sunny sunday afternoon, and can hardly believe that already one week ago, was boarding a flight home from paris, and everything seems to have flown since -- the ten days away, the seven days home, the entire month of october, even . . . and so, from the rest of this enchanted sunday on, shall revel breathlessly in every last moment, even as the days fall soundlessly into night and the slanted pools of light become paler with each autumn morning . . . for today, there are places to visit and old friends to write, overflowing closets to organise, and glittery shoes with which to dance the night away . . .

hope you're having a stunningly lovely weekend, and that it's beautiful where you are, roséline xo

. . . and it feels like a million years ago that we left london behind in the quiet hours of the early morning, before sunrise, and this note began in a bustling & cosy café in lyon and continues here, on a late, late night before much to do in the morning, a last traipse through the cobblestone streets, and then, it's off to geneva for a few days . . .

. . . and it was a perfectly lazy sunday: a quaint café with p, after an early afternoon of entertaining friends -- strong cups of coffee & good conversation, and there were roses and orchids from a saturday stop at the flower markets, banana bread and butter tarts and a late, late dinner on friday evening, ending with an evening out, red wine and candlelight on sunday night, and there is still so much to look forward to in the new week . . .
