This certainly has been an eventful year and as Spring turns into early Summer in London, it truly feels like a page is turning. Since the beginning of the month, I’ve been itching to rush to my keyboard to tell you something, something big that is happening to us right now and finally today, I ...
A much as I would love to spoil everyone I love every Christmas, it’s a reality that I have to shop smart because, let’s face it, if you have a lot of people to buy presents for, your budget will really quickly add up. My parents divorced when I was young and like many of […]
I will let you in on a little secret, this year I’ve been tasked with planning the decoration of my mom’s dining room and the styling of our dinner table for Christmas, which is why I’ve been on the hunt for the best decoration ideas and homeware picks. I’ve already shared some thoughts on how ...
Has the Christmas frenzy taken hold of you yet? Just this week I’ve blogged about Christmas decor ideas so you bet I’ve embraced December and its holiday spirit in earnest already. Yesterday we had our Christmas party at the studio which was tons of fun and involved a ...
December already! Each winter season I’m surprised by how fast we seem to go from the end of the summer to the end of the year in one swift jump, don’t you? It’s especially true this year since I spent some of September and November away, which broke the pace of the trimester nicely and […]

Fall is here! It’s my favourite season of the year, which comes with layering, hot chocolate, crisp walks on weekend mornings and an all-around switch to cosiness. This September has been so crazy at work for me, I’ve done a lot of overtime as deadlines piled on top of each other, ...
Ah September! What is it if not the month of Design? And this year I am literally running from one event to the other as I don’t want to miss a thing. First off there was the London Design Biennale at Somerset House, followed by Top Drawer in Olympia. Then last week I flew to […]
Have you heard about Skandium? This week, I’m particularly excited to write about my discovery of this great e-shop, which is pretty much the British home of Scandinavian Design. Founded in 1999, the three creative and business minds behind the company shared the ambition to showcase the ...
I haven’t had the chance to pop back to Provence this Summer and when the days are long and warm like they’ve been recently, I can yearn for home a little. In the sunny garden of my childhood home there’s a little corner which is perfectly located next to the rosebush and the ...
