Hello & Goodbye!

Just a very quick post to say hello! Running around like mad these days taking care of paper work ( taxes, bleh!), writing and family matters...

 So I'm looking forward to a little bit of this....

And lots of that! ( just kidding!)

Happy Monday! It's all about COLOR!

Happy Monday!! Hope you had a lovely weekend!! Mine was great, filled with nice dinners, some fresh air and writing. I was totally inspired on Saturday, and this sent my spirits SOARING! As a writer, there's nothing greater than being sparked by the MUSE.

I have a few things to share this week, including an interview and a giveaway...

In the meantime, if you are looking to add a dash of color to your wardrobe,  you can find some great bag ideas at Refinery 29.

Happy Friday!!!

Happy Friday mes amies! ( and April Fools Day! We might have some snow coming later today , talk about a bad joke! )

I hope you had a great week! Don't know if it's me but it feels like it just flew by... I just came across an excerpt of Candace Bushnell's new novel, Summer and the City, a sequel to the Carrie Diaries which I bought last year but still haven't read yet. I believe it's geared toward Young Adults but I'm still going to read it since I'm a big fan of all that she writes as I find her portrayal of women to be refreshing and sharp.  Also fascinating to read is this write up about Anna Wintour in the Wall Street Journal.

There's an interesting piece in today's Huffington Post on how to write the perfect book. These tips are quite helpful, hope they will inspire you!

Wow: the future looks BRIGHT!

I nearly burst with joy when I came across this colorful editorial from Ideat magazine (one of my favorite design mags). The colors, styling ( lots of Sonia Rykiel & Dior) and balloons put a major smile on my face! I hope that it does the same for you!

Given all the rather sad world events in the news lately, I think we could all use a major dash of color & hope, n'est-ce pas?
