Happy Mother's Day + Coral Love!

Happy Mother's Day!

I hope you're enjoying a great weekend and spending the day in a special way.

I've recently fallen hard for the color coral, especially all the bold prints and gorgeous variations available at Joe Fresh!

I visited their stand alone store for the first time this week, and...let's just say I went a bit um, crazy.

Aside from some jazzy orange shorts that remind me of fresh oranges, a silk coral shirt, I also picked up the sweet pleated dress above for a mere $39.  After leaving the store, my recent bout of exhaustion magically disappeared.  Just like that. POOF!

I'm Back

Hello my dear friends! I'm back!

Sorry for being away so long.  I have a confession to make: I'm exhausted. Physically, mentally and emotionally.

I've been working hard on the release, marketing, translation and sale of J'Adore Paris and I just needed a break from the blog and the internet for a few days; time alone to rest and recharge the old batteries. I've spent the last few days reading inspirational books and doing yoga.

...And so now with the good news. J'Adore Paris is now available in bookstores and on Amazon! 

To celebrate this joyous event, there are two giveaways going on at the moment. One on Goodreads (open to Canadians) and the other by my French Publisher where you can win signed books and Dior products!

Good luck! And please do let me know your thoughts if you read it!

Well, hel-looo there!

Hello dear friends, I really apologize for the lack of posts lately. I've been in need of much rest after a very hectic two weeks.

I'm starting to feel myself just as the flowers are blooming and the sunshine is rearing its happy head. 

We are only a few weeks away from the English launch of J'adore Paris and I'm working hard on organizing many events, including the set up of "French bistro" with bubbly and macarons in the heart of Montreal's largest book store as well as some signings and soirées at various locations. Stay tuned for details. In the meantime, I leave you with this thought: 

True happiness comes from the joy of deeds well done, the zest of creating things new. Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

Odds & Ends

Hello dear friends, today I am coming out from an intense period of travel, marketing and a nasty head cold.

I spent an exciting four days at the Quebec City Book Fair promoting the French version of J'adore Paris( in a snow storm, ugh!), wearing springlike attire ( like the dress above) so I'm paying for it dearly with a bad case of the sniffles. 

Aside from getting the chills, it was an amazing time meeting readers, friends and fellow writers. 

Wishing you a fantastic rest of the week!

Happy Friday!!

Happy Friday and greetings from Quebec City! I am here in this lovely place to promote the release of J'Adore Paris.

It will be great to meet readers and fellow authors...

I also enjoyed a fantastic evening listening to Oprah. The woman truly is a an inspiration.

“Your calling isn’t something that somebody can tell you about. It’s what you feel. It is the thing that gives you juice. The thing that you are supposed to do. And nobody can tell you what that is. You know it inside yourself.”  Oprah

Happy Monday!!!

Hello dear friends! So sorry for the lack of posts this past week, things have been a little (um, make majorly) hectic!

The French version J'Adore Paris launches this week ( Wednesday) and I have been busy with interview requests, including some television appearances ( yikes!! I'm nervous just writing about it)

 

I also managed to finish another book that will be published this fall...

It's a Paris travel guide , with a novelist's twist...I will share more details soon. I'm excited!

And on another note, I will be seeing Oprah Winfrey live in Montreal on Thursday, and THAT mes amies, is quite exciting.

Enjoy a fantastic week!

Easter Delights

With the long weekend fast approaching, I thought I would post an Easter inspired feast for the eyes, which includes shots from the most recent Mulberry spring campaign. I hope that you enjoy a wonderful long weekend whatever your plans...
