Happy Thanksgiving!

Hello mes amies. I hope your week is going fantastically well!

Wishing all of my American readers a very happy Thanksgiving filled with joy, warmth and great food.

 This year,  I've decided to do away with my usual black Friday online shopping spree and be thankful in a more meditative and complative way. By sharing a good meal, a walk in nature...If I do splurge, it might be on a few comforting books...

I will announce the Shopbop giveaway winner tomorrow morning.

“Let us be grateful to the people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.”

Happy Monday!!

Happy Monday! I'm heading off to help out with a cancer research benefit taking place this evening so I'll keep it short and share an inspirational quote to start off your week:

Life is an opportunity, benefit from it.
Life is beauty, admire it.
Life is a dream, realize it.
Life is a challenge, meet it.
Life is a duty, complete it.
Life is a game, play it.
Life is a promise, fulfill it.
Life is sorrow, overcome it.
Life is a song, sing it.
Life is a struggle, accept it.
Life is a tragedy, confront it.
Life is an adventure, dare it.
Life is luck, make it.
Life is too precious, do not destroy it.
Life is life, fight for it.

 

— ― Mother Teresa

Happy Monday! I hope you enjoyed a wonderful weekend.

The weather is spectacular today,  I've been happily working with all windows and doors open. It's so invigorating. This afternoon, I'll take a long walk with my dog, the perfect way to reflect on my current projects and find inspiration.

I have a Shopbop giveaway coming up later this week so please do drop in again.

Finally, I'm smitten with Alice Nightingale's shop on Etsy. The pictures and styling are simply divine. Take a look for yourself!

Have a wonderful week!

Happy Friday + J'adore le rose!

Happy Friday! As you all know, I adore the color pink. It's my lucky color and makes me infinitely happy.  So I was beyond thrilled when the organizing committee of Le Diner en Rose asked me to participate and present the runway collections as part of their glittering soirée.

This year is the second edition and promises to be fabulous. Proceeds will go to the Kelly Shires Foundation for breast cancer.

The Kelly Shires Breast Cancer Foundation was established to help women/men who have been diagnosed with breast cancer. There are many unforeseen expenses they may face, and which their health insurance program may not cover.

There are still tickets left for those of you in the Montreal area. I hope to see you there!

Bon weekend!

Les Fleurs du Songe

It's already Thursday, this week is zooming by! 

I have lots of things going on, but the most exciting being the upcoming  release of my novel J'Adore Paris. I should have a cover to share with you very soon!

This fashion editorial, Les Fleurs Du Songe,  by Madame Figaro Magazine, a collage of blooms and latest trends, is gorgeous, isn't it?

Also, I really enjoyed reading the interview with Lola Rykiel, granddaughter of Sonia Rykiel.

Finally, I have some books left to give away to anyone having suffered through Hurricane Sandy. Please see previous post for details.
