Happy Friday!!! (Ready for take-off!)








Tomorrow morning, I'm heading to the sunshine for a week of fun & relaxation.

I'll be doing a bit of writing for a local magazine, catching up with some stylish friends, reading loads of books and relaxing.

My bags are packed with lots of pink, turquoise and mint green.(colors I can't wear often in the Canadian winter).

Here's a glimpse at what I've put in my bag:



A Dior tube top picked up on e-Bay


A pair of hand painted Italian loafers, bought on sale in New York.


Aldo stripped clutch, sequin evening bag from the flea markets and a pair Pucci turquoise pants.


Before I go, I also want to tell you about a great Oscar inspired contest on Pinterest.

My dear friend Pascale







This is my childhood friend Pascale Bourbeau in December's edition of Vita Magazine. Doesn't she look gorgeous in that sparkly festive attire? In the last picture, she's wearing the dreamy Chanel dress I had the unbelievable chance to view live on the runway at the fall 2012 collection presentation at the Grand Palais in Paris last spring.

Take a look at my own photographs.





Pascale is also a talented singer, you can find her on YouTube singing French, folk  and contemporary songs You can listen and see her here, at a Pucci fashion show in France singing the classic Eagles' Hotel California.

Bravo Pascale, you rock!

Happy Friday+ Happy Weekend!!!


Congratulations to The Simply Luxurious Life for winning a copy of my novel! Hope you will enjoy it! It is to be read preferably by a pool, lake or beach with a refreshing cocktail!






Looking forward to another great weekend; having some friends over for a barbecue tomorrow, attending a benefit for the SPCA at fellow author Louise Penny's home and will be going for a few rounds of tennis. I'm slowly getting better at it, I can now return the ball with a pretty decent backhand!


I leave you with a video of my friend Pascale singing Hotel California at a Pucci fashion show in St-Tropez last week....Have a fabulous weekend!!! xo

Pucci: from runway to the slopes









Interesting fact: Italian designer Emilio Pucci raced for the Italian ski team in the 1934 Olympics. He has partnered with the French ski maker Rossignol to create a line of skis and ski clothing. I just found a fantastic Pucci ski jacket on sale dirt cheap!! I consider this necessary purchase a contribution the winter Olympic spirit up here in Canada...

Okay, is it snowing yet???
