{décor inspiration | interior designer : jean-louis denoit, paris}

by felicity




This week's décor inspiration is the work of Parisian architect & interior designer, Jean-Louis Deniot, whose style can be best described as new or cool classical, and who often references the designs of Adolph Loos for "exactness", Dorothy Draper for "the theatrical side to her design", Renzo Mongiardino for his "collector's spirit", and Peter Marino for "couture-style luxury".  Although a decidedly diverse mix of styles, there is a shared concept of design that is "synonymous with architectural environments, refinements, and a love of noble materials and objects" . . .

"I aim for my interiors to be eclectic chic as well as serene."

. . . recently came across the new collection from twigs & honey, and positively fell in love with every single beautiful piece, especially the apple blossom branch, above, and would most definitely wear any one of them on a regular day at the office, with skinny jeans & heels, and even for errands to supermarket or flower shops . . .

{HOW TO | the top fifteen best DIYs of the moment}

by roséline




. . . lately, there has not been much time for DIY projects, but the last successful one involved the gold leafing of picture frames for the powder room and above the fireplace mantle, [which lead to getting a little carried away and a gold-leafed scanner], and so, for upcoming late-spring weekends after morning coffee : fifteen [15] of the best DIY projects from around the interwebs . . .

{style inspiration | at the office : the classic trench & a side ponytail}

by roséline




. . . and it seems that everyone simply can not get enough of trench coats lately, with the spring weather changing with the moment, overcast skies one minute, and sunlit in cherry blossoms the next, and a classic trench for the office is always perfect, and even better when paired with a playful and slightly tousled side ponytail . . .

{p.s.} a shopping guide & would also look lovely with a side chignon

{home again & a brand new week}

by roséline




On a Tuesday, that feels like a Monday, hello, hello!  -- for a day was lost to travel late Sunday night, and after yesterday's early morning arrival, it's home again, home again!  The time back, so far, has been spent in romance and along lakes and rolling hills, an afternoon picnic and treelined countryside drives . . .  And now, after over a month away, as you can imagine, there's much to catch up on, and so, it's back to work and a brand new week . . .

Hope you had a beautiful weekend and that your week is off to a perfect start, —Roséline xo

. . . and while on the topic, for those that do not have instagram, a few glimpses of the past days and weeks, of peonies and gilded galleries, coffee and macarons and fountains in hazy afternoon light, neo-classical architecture and saturday morning markets, and most of all, everything spilling over in pink blossoms like a fairytale . . .
