{late spring + a new month}

"The world's favorite season is the spring.
All things seem possible in May."

~ edwin may teale

. . . bright mornings and starlit nights, shades of green and lily of the valley, breakfast on the terrace and afternoons in lacy dresses . . . the month of may is filled with promise and drifts closer each day to summertime . . .

happy may! wishing you a month lost in happiness & beautiful things,
~ roséline xo

{p.s.} more spring greens: here & here

{p.s.} lovely things on the side project:
* ruffles & blossoms
* tailored elegance
