"And so with the sunshine and the great bursts of leaves growing on the trees, just as things grow in fast movies, I had that familiar conviction that life was beginning over again with the summer."


F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby

......................................................................................................

. . . and somehow, amidst everything -- days at the office and starlit weekends in the country, after the rains and the windswept petals, softly, beautifully, and at long last, it has arrived . . .

happy first day of summer! & hope it's beautiful where you are,
xo

"Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time."

~ Thomas Merton


......................................................................................................

. . . a very favourite thing to do while travelling {or anytime, really}, is to while away endless beautiful hours wandering the echoing halls of museums and art galleries, breathing in the history and marveling at each brush stoke -- monet, renoir, pissaro and degas -- so much so, that once even braved the crowds of tourists at the louvre in paris one winter's day, even catching a mesmerising glimpse of mona lisa's mysterious smile . . . there is just something so magical about being enveloped in such stunning creativity . . .

{p.s.} a favourite is the musée d'orsay

{hello & a brand new week}

. . . hello again! . . . monday, monday, and still very much in weekend mode, {and perhaps may have eaten far too much chocolate}, and after spending sunday under the spell of sunlight and very good company and {mostly} not working for the first time in forever, perhaps since paris, still feeling a little caught up in daydreams, and so things may be moving a little more slowly today . . .

hope you had a stunningly lovely long weekend & that your week is off to a perfect start, roséline xo

{p.s.} & o n e l a s t t h i n g : a million years behind on email correspondence once again -- please accept most sincerest apologies . . .

. . . late saturday afternoon, arrived in the countryside for the weekend, and already, there has been dinner by the intoxicating glow of candlelight, comfortable silences and conversations that last long into the night, sunshine and spring breezes and pretty pleated dresses made of silken lavender and it's only just begun . . .

wishing you an impossibly wonderful long weekend & that it's beautiful where you are, roséline xo

{two lovely things: a paris apartment & hermès}

two lovely things
haute-design

hermes-scarf

. . . how we arrived at thursday {or mid-april, for that matter}, is an utter mystery, but the spring sun has been shining and have you ever had amazingly enormous plans that hinged on the completion of a million smaller ones? . . . and in a few months' time, the beginning of one of the grandest adventures, and despite excitement uncontained for the things to come, for now, there are to-do lists and always emails, handwritten thank you notes and long lost friends to be reacquainted with -- and so -- a few moments away to get caught up, leaving you with these two very lovely things . . .

hope you're having a stunningly beautiful week so far,
xo

* open shelves & elegant black
* bar carts & blossoms

Go Shorty...

I'm going to take a day off from interior design in lieu of my birthday.  I couldn't leave my readers hanging, so here are some pretty images to inspire you. (Is it too self-indulgent to have a birthday post on your own blog?  Oh well. My blog. My birthday.)  Happy April 11th!!!!











I had to add Marilyn. Such a cute photo of her, no?
