Even thought I think lace is too delicate for me, I am still drawn to it every now and then. Today is one of those days. Lace is light, airy, and perfect for hot summer days indoors and outdoors.

I think if I had an enormous backyard, I would definitely make room for a hammock as I think it would be an ideal spot for napping and reading outdoors.

Who’s with me on this one? I’m actually thinking a hammock may fit on my patio…IÂ must take measurements!
Enjoy your weekend…wherever you may lounge.
In a week – I’ll be in Paris. Eek! Although I’ve been to Paris about a dozen times or so, I’m always eager and excited to go back! This trip is work-related, so I’ll be spending half of my time with other academics discussing everything that there is to discuss about language and writing. The rest of the time, I’ll be wandering the streets, taking photos, eating as many croissants as possible, sipping on hot chocolate, shopping, and going to Cartier exhibit! I’m going with two amazing colleagues and friends, and we have booked ourselves into one heck of an apartment (here’s hoping it’s as beautiful in real life as it is in the photos).
I recently came across the work of photographer Laurent Scheinfeld when I was browsing the Marché aux Puces website (one of my fave spots in Paris!). His photos series featuring the Eiffel Tower are really quite beautiful.

Besides the Cartier exhibit and a visit to Christofle, I have plans to: eat a lot of croissants, visit design shops like Merci and Colette, stock up on tea at Hédiard, visit one of my favourite European clothing stores COS, find my (and my family’s) favourite chocolate, purchase a cool piece of art, bring back a French magazine (or several), and speak French! Oui, oui!
Oh my goodness. It feels like -30C this morning. What?! How do you stay warm during these days of frigid temperatures? Here are five of the ways I’m staying warm (or trying really hard to).
1. I wear layers of wool sweaters. This week I’ve discovered that wearing two wool sweaters is much better than wearing one.

2. My office is fairly cold, so I keep my space heater on for most of the day. At home, I keep my house at about 72F and it’s working out well.
3. I love blankets, so I make sure there’s always one (or several) within reach of my seat on the couch.
4. Tea. Coffee. Mulled wine. Warm drinks of any kind are a must.
5. Boots. I don’t think I can live without my Sorel boots and UGGs. Happy feet. The. Best.
 Have a great weekend dear readers! And do send over any tips for staying warm, please!
One of my grand plans for the Christmas holiday is to sleep. A lot. Stay in bed, sleep, read, watch TV, and drink hot chocolate. I do love my crazy work life but I’m so looking forward to some time off.
