Sunday Lounging

Isn't Sunday just grand? After doing loads of post travel laundry, I can now kick back and finish the novel I started last week: Still Alice by Lisa Genova, about a woman hit with early onset of Alzheimer's Disease. Although difficult to read, this amazing story will haunt you for days.

On a lighter note, I'm looking forward to getting back to my writing  and I am especially excited about my upcoming research trip to France, where I'll get to meet lots of inspiring people, including Haleigh of Making Magique, a lovely designer working for Zac Posen, an anti-counterfeiting legal expert and attend a few runway shows during Paris Fashion Week.

Hope you have a lovely Sunday.

Happy Friday!!!

Happy Friday! Hope you are having a fantastic week! I'm soaking up the last rays of sunshine before heading back home. I made some new friends in this gorgeous paradise and I can't wait to share some of my great finds.

I also read and really enjoyed the memoir Lunch in Paris by Elizabeth Bard while on vacation. It's her story: an American who finds love and other delicacies in City of Light. She also shares some drool worthy recipes which I'm anxious to try once i get back in my own kitchen.   

Don't forget to participate in the J'Adore New York giveaway on Making Magique!

Happy Friday!!!

Hope you're having a great week! 

There's an interesting article by Cathy Horyn in the New York Times about the editorial shake up at Paris Vogue. It's always great to get the inside scoop!

I am taking a little last minute holiday and will be posting more sporadically in the next week.

 A bientôt!

Some eye candy+ inspiration

Working hard on my second novel right now, and trying to move the story forward as much as I can before my upcoming trip to France. It's not always easy to be inspired so I am posting these lovely images to help out with the process.

Dreaming of Spring

This fashion editorial is totally dreamy, don't you think? The light, bright colors together with a preppy twist make me dream of spring. Speaking of dreamy, I picked up these two lovely items on Etsy. A long bias cut butterfly dress and cute as a button hand knitted cardigan. Lovely, non? The only thing missing now is warm and sunny weather!
