{have a glamorous weekend + links}

. . . the weekend began with a cocktail called starlight, dinner for two and peach, olive oil & rosemary upside down cake with vanilla ice cream & poached farm peaches & pistachio for dessert, a decadently late and leisurely saturday morning, chandeliers at nightfall and a charming local pub, the impossible romance of the rain against the window panes, and most of all, the thought that it has only just begun . . .

wherever you may be, hope you're having a beautiful weekend,
~ roséline xo

let it rain

never seen someone look so damn good on a cloudy day.
never thought i'd say rainboots can be sexy either.

L'Officiel Paris November 2010 Issue Cover

I go gaga for Paris Publications of fashion magazines.Unlike Vogue Paris,L'Officiel is more Parizien for me.Don't know why.Maybe editorials of L'Officiel are always impressing is the answer.I want to buy this issue of Paris L'Officiel but I recently saw Russian L'Officiel on Turkish newsstands.Let me check it out.

As the cover says: NOIR IS BEAUTIFUL!

VOGUE PARIS NOVEMBER 2010 COVER: NATASHA POLY

Vogue Paris November 2010

Model:Natasha Poly

Photographer: Mario Sorrenti

I am not sure if I like the half nude covered with fur coat for a winter welcomer issue.Nonblonde Natasha Poly on the other hand.The only magnifier is the eye makeup.Maybe I am still not over Kate Moss Cover in July/august issue of Vogue Paris.

Strangers from the North - Inspiration Friday

Happy Inspiration Friday!
Is it just me or has this week flown by?
My Inspiration Friday prompt was "What if you were kidnapped to a royal city in the north in a different world?
What would it look and feel like?"
Hahah random i know but this was what i came up with The Photos & Painting are from John Everett Millais, Norman Parkinson, Sarah Moon, Snorpy, and I am not sure who took the picture of Vlada Roslyakova
I really hope it inspires you and hope you're having a great day!

SUNNY SUNFLOWERS

SUNFLOWERS

These end of the summer flowers
are so big, bold and brilliant!
Their warm yellow color helps to give us the last burst
of brilliant sunshine before autumn really sets in.
The rich brown center
reminds me that fall is here.
So it makes sense that these gorgeous
flowers make some of the best fall bouquets
and arrangements
for your home
or special events this season

Even babies love them

Some of the best

paintings

and most notable ones are sunflowers

These sunflowers look great in this type of French vase
called a Confit Pot

Pretty au Naturelle arrangements

are great for fall!
Sunflowers look great

in plain white vases

(um hello, are you going to my house with that delivery?????)

or in jars

(I love this sunny arrangement from DUSTY LU)
or bottles
or buckets

or even boots!!!

Some even make pretty pillows

There's nothing like a sunny wedding
with this sunny wedding flower

Here's an unexpected boutonniere

and here are some gorgeous bouquets

and centerpieces

and special arrangements

cakes and .....

of course,
CUPCAKES!

Yum!

I hope you have a SUNsational fall weekend!!
I've gotta run now and go find that delivery man
