Fashion is a wonderful thing, keeping us inspired and motivated to look our best. I can’t see my life without fashion, and hopefully very soon will be launching my own line of wear. Until then, here are some of my favorite everyday wear new arrivals at Bloomingdale’s .
The Elie Saab – Haute Couture Fall-Winter 2015-2016 collection – some of many – click here to go there. Simply breathtaking.
Ah the dream of living in Paris someday-never a day goes by I don’t think about it, dreaming and planning how I can make it happen. Until then Happy Bastille Day France with all my love… {source}
I love a minimalist decor and design, a home organized in everything earth-toned and natural. With a pop of color here and there. I find it aesthetically pleasing to the eye, and most definitely calming from a stressful day at work, and the outdoor-city living chaos. See here what I mean:
Street style is just as important to Paris fashion week as the actual runway fashion introduced to those of us waiting anxiously to see what would be unveiled for this or that season. If you are as curious as I am about street style, then please click here to get inspired-street style. {source}
What is it about this wonderful country most of us Americans can’t get enough? I can only speak for myself of course when I say I am madly in love with Italy – Rome, Florence, Venice, Genoa, and every other corner in between from the hillside small villages of Cinque Terre, to the wonderful Como district, the country the most romantic in my opinion – and very different from the well known city of love – Paris. That is where I chose to base my first novel Piazza Navona, the story unfolding in my imagination and mind, over a cup of espresso sitting in a cafe on the historic Piazza Navona. One day, while I sat in a cafe in Rome-in Piazza Navona, staring at a small stationery store, I realized I wanted to write a novel, about a woman who falls in love in Rome.

Some night, well mostly Friday nights, I prefer an array of appetizer-sort eats paired with a bottle of my favorite cab, than a full meal. It’s my way of winding down. I pick a film or two on Netflix, organize the appetizers and uncork the bottle…and I have to tell you I couldn’t ask for a better evening. Here’s a recipe of one appetizer I have put together way before finding it online. Except, I keep the yogurt in a separate bowl, drizzle it with olive oil and mint, the prosciutto on a platter with olives and cheese, and the lentil I buy pre-cooked, and shrink-wrapped from Trader Joe, seasoning it exactly as it says here. It’s funny how great chefs think alike. 🙂 How do you wind down? What is your favorite fun appetizer recipe? {source credit}
