. . . this weekend was a few luxurious moments to catch up on a little reading, afternoons in the warm late-winter sunshine and late lunches at old favourite places; there were also renovations—[contractors and things being built, a maddeningly fine dust falling over everything]—but also, the wonderful feeling of things accomplished and being steps closer to all the projects and plans that have begun some time ago; and there dinner at a new italian restaurant, glasses of montepulciano d'abruzzo and today, so much sunlight, it feels as if spring might arrive at any moment . . .
hope you've had [are having] a perfectly lovely [long] weekend, and that it's beautiful where you are, —roséline xo
. . . the colour grey has appeared here many times, and whether amidst monograms & ruffles and chignons & chandeliers, intermingled with sequins & sunlight, or perfectly paired with petal pink, it is classic and warm, and always elegant, and there is something quite enchanting about its dusky hues, as with clouds on a bright february afternoon . . .
. . . two things shall never fall out of love with : glittery mirrors & lovely lucite -- both, brightening and throwing open spaces, and both in one lovely place, a dressing room [modern] dreams are made of . . .
. . . hello again! had not meant to go missing for quite as long, but as you know, with travel, things can sometimes get a little tricky when it comes to scheduling, and today, sunny, bright & beautiful in geneva, and with terrace cafés overlooking the lake and walks along cobblestone streets, still-leafy parks, fountains and cathedrals, was far too tempting to take the day to enjoy the unseasonably warm weather . . . not certain when there next will be a moment to say hello, but for now, leaving you with the utter sophistication of metallic wallcoverings, scalloped headboards and monogrammed bed linens, chandeliers and gilded mirrors, lavender velvet and de gournay . . .
à bientôt & hope your week is off to a perfect start, roséline xo
. . . a very quick hello on one of those days where everything seems to be getting away -- there are deadlines and amazingly long to-do lists, arrangements and appointments, and the emails have been piling up for days, and so, it's coffee and back to work . . .
hope your week is off to a perfect start, roséline xo
. . . without fail, every year, at this time, there is an extra fondness for layers, whether soft cardigans and long cashmere scarves out the door, or at home and in the office, where gilded glass, deep silk and sophisticated zebra print intermingle as if in a swirl of autumn splendor . . .
