Life according to my Pinterest

Before I leave you for a few days, feast your eyes on some of the wonderful photographs I’ve encountered on Pinterest this week. If you haven’t joined this site, please do so. It’s so much fun... and highly addictive! Well, well, I’m off to bed. I have a freakishly early plane to catch. MC is meeting me at 4h45 am. Rise and shine! I wish you all a great week, a wonderful weekend, and especially a happy Easter. I’ll miss you, PartyMixPeeps! xox

Packing

Tonight, I’m excitedly packing for my trip! The girls and I have shared numerous phone calls and emails asking:  “What are you wearing to the club?”  “How many pairs of shoes are you packing?”  “Do I take my big suitcase or my really big suitcase?”  For all you travellers, here is my short-ish list of things to pack for a five-day trip to NYC.  (Why bother packing too much when you are travelling to Shopping-Heaven?)

-          1 coat
-          1 scarf
-          1 blazer
-          1 pair of jeans
-          2 party tops (these should work for both day and night)
-          1 party dress (I’m lying – who packs one? What if the other one is cuter on you that day? We are entitled to freedom of choice, no?)
-          3 tank tops or T-shirts
-          2 sweaters
-          1 pair of flats
-          1 pair of high heels
-          1 pair of flat boots
-          A largish purse
-          An evening clutch
-          1 umbrella (the rule of thumb is: pack an umbrella and it won’t rain.)  
-          Jewelry
-          Undergarments (People, don’t be stingy. I once went on a camping trip and didn’t pack enough underwear. Don’t let it happen to you. The moral of this story is: don’t go camping.)

Yellow 1957 / 2012

Show me some good art and some cute clothes, and I’m a happy girl. I couldn’t resist this combination:  Yves Klein’s Monochrome jaune sans titre (M 8), from 1957 and this cheetah top and yellow skirt... circa 2012!

April Fools

Today is April Fools, known as Poisson d’avril in French. My grandmother’s birthday was on April 1st and I remember her saying it was dreadful because she was extra-pranked all day long. When I was a kid, I used to love this day. I would spend the night before cutting out all kinds of colourful paper fish to stick on people's backs at school. Oh, the delight when you would get away with it! (Giggle, giggle) Clearly, I was not a very mischievous child... Are you planning any pranks today?
