some happenings and favorites for your friday..

i took a little mini vacation this week from thee' ol' blog..

i got a great nights sleep last night and sprung up bright and early this morning..

nobody is up yet..

just me, you and a hot cup of joe..

i have not been online much this week..

i have been taking a break to get outside, go for a run.. i volunteered at the little ones school and i had a few great lunch/coffee dates with friends and although it was in the back of my mind that i needed to blog..

you always come back a bit refreshed after a small break..

 it is no secret i am obsessed with all things french.. wine, fashion, their culture, the language..
 not so much food.. {unless cheese and bread counts.. then yes. for sure.} 

i recently bought this book and am extremely intrigued..

 i spotted this photo of olivia at london fashion week.. as usual olivia is spot on..

man, she is fabulous..

speaking of pinterest.. this is a photo from my blog that has been trending over there.. it is my yearly mothers day breakfast in bed the girls and damian "surprise me" with every year.... i snapped a photo and posted it on the blog..  i recently came across it on pinterest.. 

it made me feel so special..

 this is a scanned photo i took in a cafe in paris in 2000..

this little lady stole my heart..

she was so fabulous..

i have this photo framed in my home..

i just ordered a ton of my iphone photos from postal pix.. have you heard of it? it's a free ap and it makes it SO easy to get your iphone pix printed! so amazing..

 speaking of photos..
