I will sound very French but a nice meal with good food is not quite the same without a good bottle of wine. Agreed?
I won’t list all my favourites because there are a few. However, my friend made me laugh this weekend…. she bought a bottle of viognier called “the elegant frog”, I am sure you will see the pun! And stuck my picture on the label for good measures!
That was part of my weekend routine….
I recently went window shopping and noticed some interesting looking shoes. In a nutshell, they were cute, pointy, mid-heel and….. looked like a mouse’s face! If you can call it a “face” of course!
Personally, the animal look was taking it a step too far, it’s bad enough that animal prints still remain very much a wardrobe staple this winter. So instead I found this demure version from Alice and Olivia:
Have girls changed since Madonna’s hit “Material Girl”? I sincerely doubt it. The proof is in the pudding.
As it’s name says, this on-line shop has a great range of unusual and bright designs for all the material girls out there.
This little number is classic and timeless and is easily paired with a white blouse and wedges:
For a more casual look, and only with a plain tee or vest, here is a great teal wide-legged pair of trousers: heels are a must have unless you are 6ft tall!

A colleague made me discover http://www.associationcoffee.com/ Definitely one place to try if you are a coffee amateur. The place is inviting and deliciously smells of freshly brewed coffee. The staff is super friendly and the deco rustic and minimal but cosy. The place is also perfect for business catch ups.
You will see in the picture below the nice white milk froth forming this perfect and pretty flower-esque drawing, well….. they serve your coffee exactly like that! It is not just to pretend they serve fancy coffee, they actually do and prepare each individually with care. It is so nice and refreshing to step into a coffee shop which doesn’t feel like an upgraded supermarket. You know this feeling of going to one of the big coffee chains where they prepare every coffee in fast forward motion and are so eager to take the order of the next customer in line behind you? Well it doesn’t have to be like that and at coffee association you feel more at home.
Coffee lovers you have been told…. you need to try!
Maintenance on site and more buckets are coming! Health and safety and stuff…. result! We may be exempt from working at our desks!
Good start for a Friday! Fixing leaks and organising buckets to control the flooding…..
Sometimes I just feel like sharing my mood as opposed to writing a long post. I think this picture is a relatively good example of how I feel today. It is the end of the week, at least for most of us, so let’s be positive! Bring on the weekend and happy Friday everyone!
Special treat especially dedicated to my NYC buddy! It’s a cat’s life really! Even when upside down….
You probably know already but finding the right picture with the right frame juin the right colour is not an easy task.
I have finally found the one I was looking for! That made my day, well, so far!
Golden tealights candle holders to give the garden a posh style!
