{a new week + notes from the weekend}

. . . a very late but warm hello! it's lovely to see you again . . . this weekend was miles and miles of sunshine, some time at the shops and a new pair of perfectly chic suede summer sandals with gilded clasps; long walks at sunset and a saturday night film {bill cunningham new york -- [have you seen? so good]} with buttery popcorn; scented candles in the evening and strong coffee in the mornings, a table for two high above the world, with utterly breathtaking views of the city, and gardens overflowing with the intoxicating scent of white lilacs and sweet-smelling secret bunches of lilies of the valley . . .

happy monday! hope you had a beautiful weekend filled with little moments of repose & that your week is off to a perfect start, roséline xo

{shoes, shoes, shoes: rose suede & gold}

. . . and while we're on the topic of pretty platforms, have been taken with the now iconic charlotte olympia court shoe with its ultra elegant lines and stunningly chic gold metallic platform for quite some time now, and while it also comes in black, red, and natural raffia {also lovely!}, there is something so utterly romantic about the rose suede that is impossible to resist . . .

{hope you had a beautiful weekend + links}

. . . hello! was a {most luxurious} weekend for slowing things down, for strong coffee in gold-dipped french presses and the financial times on saturday morning, for late-night films sitting close and buttery croissants on sunday morning, for walks in the rain and waffle cones with scoops of mango and pralines & cream, and for time to breathe in every last beautiful moment, as if it would never end . . .

hope you had an astonishingly lovely weekend & that it's beautiful where you are, roséline xo

{hope you had a beautiful weekend + links}

. . . last week's links fell away to the excitement and utter romance of the royal wedding, and this week's nearly fell away to late dinner dates and charming company; saturday afternoon at the market and evenings of sparkling lemon spritzers and unbearably exciting plans; long sunday afternoon walks in impossible sunshine and the stunningly heady scent of hyacinths . . .

hope you had a lovely weekend & that it was beautiful where you are, roséline xo

{weekend musings + late-sunday links}

. . . in the very midst of the most luxuriously relaxing weekend and sundays are always the loveliest of days . . . there has been time for books and music and handwritten letters, lattes and glossy magazines and tables for two at new restaurants, cut-crystal glasses of chianti and daffodils in spring gardens, sunlight on gold leaf and fallen petals on venetian glass, and most of all, there has been time for making plans . . .

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

{a new week, a favourite bedroom & a few links}

. . . you know weekends are good when friday links become late-sunday ones, and sunday links are moved to monday . . . and this weekend was paris vogue and spanish wine, a late saturday night of dreams and plans and moonlight, an always leisurely sunday brunch and drinks on a sun-drenched terrace {first of the season!} . . . and, now monday, monday and it's good to see you again -- how are things?

wherever in the world you may be, hope you had an extravagantly lovely weekend and that your week is off to a perfect start, roséline xo

{a beautiful spring weekend + late-sunday links}

. . . the weather has been so astonishingly lovely, it is nearly impossibly not to be swept away by the blossom-scented breezes and glittering rays of sunlight . . . and this weekend was out-of-town guests and charming dinner conversations, luxuriously late mornings and sunday brunch {smoked salmon & scrambled eggs with chives, rosti, creamed horseradish & caviar} and time to fall in love all over again with every last moment along the way . . .

happy april! hope you've had a spectacular spring weekend & that it's beautiful where you are, roséline xo

{at this moment: musings & romantic florals}

. . . has been one of those slightly chaotic, always busy, work-filled weeks, with many cups of coffee and never enough time to finish everything -- lists and emails and plans -- and in the whirl of things, beautiful moments for dinner dates and pretty floral blouses and mango margaritas and it's nearly the weekend . . .

hope you're having a wonderful week so far,

{have a beautiful weekend + late-sunday links}

. . . there is just something about sundays -- everything seems to slow down to a perfect pace, and whether off to the countryside, catching flights or catching up on beauty sleep, it is nearly impossible not to relax on sundays and it's positively luxurious . . . and while last week was filled with loveliness, working in sun-drenched cafés and evening walks with the dog that ended in new summer wedges and a little black dress, there is a certain hope about sundays that always leaves time for brunch, a good book, the flower markets, handwritten letters, and moments lost in daydreams . . .

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