HAVE A GREAT WEEK END 

Lilly Pulitzer

Following your blogs, I discovered the wonderful world of Lilly Pulitzer and her beautiful dresses. Since then, I dream of having one. I contacted them from their website and unfortunately they have no dealers or opportunities to ship in France ... so I decided that my project for this summer would sew my own Lilly Pulitzer dress. It only remains to find the model (easy) and fabric (very difficult) ... maybe on Etsy...

Cooking with Julia CHILD

DR

A few years ago, I bought the book "Mastering the Art of  French Cooking" by Julia Child. But I haven't done any recipe ... So I decided (after watching the movie Julie and Julia with Meryl Streep) to cook some. But not like Julie, only a few recipes because the key word for my new year (I remind you) is  organization.

DR

I love this post on hookedonhouses.net :

 Bon appétit

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2014

I hope to be a better blogger in the new year. I just need a little more time... Only one word for my New Year's resolution : organization ... and you ?

My book in June : Celebrate

Thank you to Pippa Middleton !!

Remember this girl who is in the light of the day her sister's wedding. Sure, it's Pippa Middleton. Admired for his perfect physique highlighted by a beautiful dress from Alexander McQueen and criticized by the press after ...

But Pippa wrote a book on the art of entertaining entitled Celebrate. Listening to British critics, I hesitated before buying it but now I'm really happy: A lot of ideas for those who love the English style and I will use some advice for my daughter's birthday in a few days ... so thank you Pippa and continues to write ....
