A Few of My Favorite Things: This is glamorous
Hello everyone and happy weekend to you! I’m Roséline from the blog {this is glamorous}, visiting while Holly is in the middle of beginning a new life in Germany. It’s lovely to be here and to share a few of my favourite things which just may get you in the mood for the weekend…
{mirrored storage boxes} Open plan living means the need for storage — favourites are glittering and etched venetian glass boxes to hide clutter and hold pretty little things.
{the perfect handbag} I am rarely without my blackberry, ipod, a camera, a variety of lip balms and glosses, a compact, a daybook and many other things, so a great handbag is necessary — this sandy suede Phillip Lim is perfect and a Summer favourite.
{heavenly scents} There is always a scented candle burning somewhere and never leave the house without wearing a beautiful scent – current favourite is Tom Ford’s Black Orchid, which is warm and heady and really quite sexy.
{shoes, shoes, shoes} Current favourites — from the UK, the softest suede and go with nearly everything.
{little luxuries} Perfectly chilled champagne, pretty pastries and bouquets of roses are a few of the little things that add a little elegance to the end of a busy week.
{inspiration} Always so many beautiful things to be inspired by, but the things I always return to are: bright summer afternoons, dinners for two, crème brûlée, being on the water, late-night conversations, morning coffee, discovering new things, and traveling, which is the best inspiration of all.
{good advice} Spent one summer in a beautiful art gallery where the very wise and talented gallery owner once told me to think about where I wanted to be in ten years and to do one thing every day that would take me a step closer to that goal — it was such a novel idea — tend to live in the moment and ten years seemed like an eternity away, but it reminds me to take a moment every once in a while to look at the big picture…
Also love this quote: “A ship in harbor is safe — but that is not what ships are for.” Thanks so much, Holly, for inviting me to be a part of this lovely series — warm wishes + best of luck in your new adventure! Have a beautiful week everyone, ~ Roséline

I love your blog. It is serene, lovely, and yes, glamorous. Do you have a source for the shoes. The day will come when I will only wear perfect shoes.

Thanks for this inspiring post – the phrase with the ship and the story about the gallery owner are what I will take with me..I’m as you quite a moment person and even though I create daydreams of the future I don’t think I ever draw it out quite as detailed or realistic so this is sth. I will try after reading the good advice – thanks so much. Oh and those shoes … they are fabulous :) enjoy your weekend.

I love the ten-year plan…as a SAHM I feel like if I’m not accomplishing something right here, right now, I am failing…but if I can have a bigger picture, and do a little each day towards that goal…now that is a plan!

Your images live up to your blog’s name– all glamourous! I’m seriously in love with the shoes!

Nicely done TIG. Brilliant {inspiration} and who can deny the joy that a good, chilled bottle of bubble brings to the moment. I had a friend who would pipe up “JOY!” or “Happiness!” whenever she heard the pop of the cork.

Simply the greatest of lists. That Phillip Lim bag and shoes have me in a little puddle on the floor.

Love the idea of the glass boxes to store things in. (I have a thing for little jars for beads etc.) Love the shoes, even though I could never wear that high of a heel! hmmmm-champagne and cup cakes, looks like a fun combination. Thank You for sharing, your things a long with your thoughts and advice!
