My Essentials :: this is glamorous

Roséline, creator of design & lifestyle blog {this is glamorous} has lately become one of my style icons. She always manages to find the most visually arresting images I’ve ever laid eyes on, and any time I need a serious shot of pretty, I know just where to go. And I’m not the only one: the site has been featured just about everywhere, from Lucky magazine to Martha Stewart Living. {this is glamorous} is also listed as one of The London Times’ 50 of the world’s best design blogs. And lucky us – Roséline stopped by the blog today to share the style items she can’t live without! She describes her mix as, “Classic romantic and often with a hint of sparkle, be it sequins, a glittery pair of earrings or a twinkle in the eye.” LOVE! Without further ado, here are her must-haves. I don’t know about all of you, but I’m going to watch and learn!
