For our second edition of On Her Shelf we are delighted to have the oh-so-stylish Roséline of {this is glamorous}. We’ve spent hours on end swooning over her whimsical blog and just knew she’d have some fantastic reads up her sleeves. Read on to discover what’s on this London-based Matchbook girl’s shelf!

On my nightstand… I have been switching from flipping through Parisian Chic by Ines de la Fressange and re-reading The Great Gatsby — always seem to be doing a million things at once…

On my coffee table… Chanel: The Vocabulary of Style — filled with stunning photographs by Horst P. Horst, Helmut Newton, Patrick Demarchelier and Richard Avedon. It also comes in a cloth-bound sleeve the most astonishingly lovely shade of pink!

On my shelf… Anne of Green Gables — puffed sleeves, kindred spirits, and true love — what more is there to say?

The Daily Fancy

It’s February, and every Matchbook girl knows what that means. Love it or loathe it, Valentine’s Day is just around the corner. This lovely heart-print skirt from ASOS is the perfect piece to celebrate with — and its subtle, classic navy and white print can be worn well beyond the 14th. Though if you’re feeling extra festive, it would look just darling paired with red tights.
