Happy week-end

Happy week-end, everybody!

I am going to spend mine with this charming lady currently residing on the Champs-Elysées.
The CD is an oldie, but I just came to buy it and am loving every single chanson! It's quiet, soft rhythm is captivating; the smoky - far from perfect - voice entchanting.

Have a good one!

Heaven

If you are looking for gastronomic heaven and are open to try something you have never eaten before, then you will sure find it thanks to Pierre Hermé's most famous creation - the Ispahan macaron(big thanks to arbooz for educating me!).
And I am not writing about this because macarons are so in these days and are practically everywhere.
No, no, this heavenly - yes, you will see the word heaven many times in this post - is more than a mere macaron. This pastry creation is a marriage of rose, lychee and raspberry flavours, and represents one of the most divine experiences of taste that I have gained in a looong time.

Try them in France here
Or, if you are in Germany, you can get pretty lucky here


Peonies

I really can not tell you when exactly I fell in love with peonies. It occurs to me, that it happened a couple of months ago while I was researching for my own wedding. It may have happened a year ago when I saw my beautiful friend Eva getting married with the most divine, simple, elegant yet utterly fabulous bouquet of pink peonies. Regardless of the exact point in time, I think it was love at first sight and I knew from that moment on that they were the ones. I think it's the softest, richest, most feminine flower of all times.
Don't you?










More of MOR

I think I just went to beauty paradise and found one of the most fabulously designed and packaged beauty brands ever!
I simply can't get enough of these fantastic products by a creative duo from Australia - Dianna Burmas and Deon St.Mor. After establishing their first design studio back in 1998 the two, both admirers of apothecary combined with beautiful design, started producing exquisite beauty products in exquisite packaging. Product range includes soaps, body wash, body creams, scented candles and further deliciousness.

Don't you want MORe?!
