Every few weeks, I treasure the moment when my favorite design magazines plunk down in my mailbox. Conveniently, my thoughtful mail carrier always seem to deliver them on Friday afternoons so that I can languorously flip through each page while enjoying a cup of tea or more likely, an apéritif. My April issue of InStyle arrived yesterday and revealed some very chi-chi-fu-fu (that's me talk for uber-feminine) fashion trends for spring.
Like Amélie Poulain, my life is all about the littlest pleasures: the freshest, pinkest raspberries; the deep blue of a Vermeer painting; the perfect crispness of a glass of Prosecco; the divine simplicity of an afternoon at the beach; the heavenly scent of a vanilla bean. Here I blog to celebrate the good life, la dolce vita, la belle vie. Cherish life's petits plaisirs and enrich your daily existence.
You should know that I take liberties with grammar, punctuation, & diction. Do not fear! I assure you I've been educated about the woes of abundant comma usage or the impropriety of ending a sentence with a preposition. Here, as this is not my dissertation, I write as I talk. I also make up words on occasion.
"If you are lucky enough to have lived in Paris as a young man, then wherever you go for the rest of your life, it stays with you, for Paris is a moveable feast." -Ernest Hemingway
