{have a romantic october weekend + links}

. . . and in the midst of all the busy-ness this week, a few moments to leaf through wallpaper samples and for lunch dates, for long, leisurely conversations and perfect stolen kisses . . . and for the next two days, the enchanting sound of falling leaves and silvery clouds, elegant marble floors and long cashmere scarves, and most of all, knowing for certain that le coup de foudre/love at first sight truly does exist . . .

wherever in the world you may be or whatever lovely things you may have planned, hope you're having an impossibly beautiful weekend,
~ roséline xo

{one late october afternoon}

. . . and after all the shades of mustard, wheat, and honey from recent photographs of our weekends away, was reminded again how warm yellow can be this time of year, especially when intermingled with deep wood tones and gold . . .

{scrapbook: a weekend in the country}

{a few photographs of our weekends away}

. . . while evenings in the city may be spent in heels and cocktail dresses, weekends away in the country are laid-back in a quilted Barbour and a pair of wellies, and after the apple orchards and pumpkin patches, the golden fields of wheat and rustling yellow leaves, a perfect afternoon for an autumn picnic for two . . .





{p.s.} and to p, thank you for making every moment feel like a dream, and for taking the most beautiful photographs
