. . . and while we're on the topic of golden coral & evening sky, jenni kayne's current collection is a breeze of dreamy shades and easy shapes, a sprinkling of sequins and perfect coral lipstick . . .

{have a romantic [long] weekend + links}

. . . this weekend has been filled with such lovely things -- strong coffee and frothy lattes, chocolate & banana crêpes at sunday brunch, and dinner at a favourite restaurant {for dessert: a warm chocolate brownie with peanut butter mousse and banana ice cream, sprinkled with peanuts, and drizzled with the most decadent caramel sauce}, conversations from oceans away and taxis in the rain, time at the shops {a new shimmery gold top} and long walks in the late-may sun, the strains of opera music in the background and just the two of us . . .

hope you're having a perfectly romantic {long} weekend & that it's beautiful where you are, roséline xo

{monday, monday & all in a day's work}

. . . after one of the most relaxing weekends ever, overflowing with excitement for a new week, and over time, have begun to fall in love with mornings over late evenings, for their hazy early light and their miles and miles of new hours yet to be filled, and have always, always adored new weeks for this very reason, and for all the promises of new and undiscovered things . . . and this week is lovely projects, meetings and appointments, unruly inboxes and long lost letters, and little things that will comprise, at the end, enormous and enormously life-changing events in a few months' time . . . and so, for now, a pair of elegant wide-legged jeans, a chic carry-all, a chignon, and today's paper, and it's back to work . . .

happy monday! it's lovely to see you again & hope your week is off to a perfect start, roséline xo

{lookbook: raoul spring summer 2011}

. . . sexy secretary blouses and cuffed trousers, billowy tops and sophisticated city shorts, pretty pleated skirts and perfect trenches . . . and all with a casual elegance that will whisk you from the work-week, straight into the weekend . . .

{p.s.} also: a new capsule collection & the cropped trench in the last is slightly similar to mine, for those who have been asking x

{notes from the weekend + late-sunday links}

. . . this weekend was french wine and oysters, window seats in quaint cafes and watching the world go by, porchetta in the park on sunday afternoon and snow pea leaves for dinner, an evening in the country and beautiful plans for the week ahead . . .

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

{look book: whistles spring 2011}

. . . has been so lovely to step out in a light trench again, and with spring's near arrival, soon there will be lacy white dresses with scalloped hems, high-waisted skirts and pretty t-shirts, bare legs and kitten heels, and the promises of warm, breezy afternoons . . .

{white lace + sunny mornings}

. . . a love affair with lace for as long as can remember, and this pretty underthing is just the thing for lounging about on an early march morning, just before coffee and croissants and a brand new day . . .
