Happy Monday!!









Happy Monday! I hope you enjoyed a fantastic weekend!  Mine was very low key, as planned.  I'm finishing  Rules Of Civility by Amor Twles, a Gatsby-esque romp through New York in the late thirties. It's fantastically written and the plot is riveting. Someone make a movie out of this story,  pretty please! And to Mr. Towles, who toils on Wall Street; please write another book, don't waste your precious talent in high finance...!

 I will be posting sporadically this week, meetings in town and a short trip away oblige. I couldn't resist sharing these lovely photos by Ilona Jongepier in Paris. The styling is superb and the girl and dog, so sweet.


Speaking of lovable pups, if you happen to live in the Montreal area, I encourage you to drop in to Pitou, Minou & Compagnons, on Queen Mary Road for some special treats for your furry friends. The service is very friendly and second to none. In the next few weeks, they will be organizing pet adoption days and nail clippings. You can take a peek at their Facebook page for more details.


Have a fantastic week! xo

Happy Friday!!!



I hope you enjoyed a fantastic week. It's grey outside today, perfect for running some errands and completing tasks I've been putting off forever!

Looking forward to a relaxing weekend with yoga, reading, sleeping in and seeing some friends on Sunday.

I've started reading Rules of Civility by Amor Towles and it's wonderful.

If you're having some people over for a meal, take a look at this lovely tip by French parfumeur extraordinaire, Francis Kurkdijan.


" In the summer when you host a dinner, spray perfume on the guest's napkins with 'eau de rose' and some lemon to give your dinner table a fresh scent."

Have a fantastic weekend!
