There’s often many things that happen throughout the day, be it a full schedule of meetings or running your errands. But, sometimes it’s just nice to take a moment to relax … or take snapshots of little moments of inspiration.
Weekends for me are generally supposed to be filled with far less technology than during the weekdays, but I manage to sneak in a few images whenever I can. Here were several moments to appreciate, including casual nights of laughter, and fun entertaining friends.
Love From The Kitchen:
If you follow me on Instagram, then you may have noticed this image. We had some friends over and went for a very French themed dinner party. I decided to give my new madeleine pan some love in the kitchen. As it turns out, baking these were quite easy and of course delicious. I made two versions, one much less sweet and the other batch for our guests. Result: everyone was happy with mouths full.
(Above) A surprise care package of much missed Philz Coffee from my brother, the perfect unfiltered sky shot to enjoy a glass of wine, and a seafood paella that I made infused with saffron, olive oil, and black truffles.
Here’s a new table runner that I have been meaning to show a little while ago. A gorgeous Eco-friendly floral print thanks to Gudrun Sjödén. View more home selections here. And, preparations for dinner with friends.
In Your Ear:
As always, music is probably the most influential element in my life other than art and fashion. Here’s several songs that I listened to this week, amongst a pile of others, but that list would be too long.
-Reading or relaxing: Bastille & Gabrielle Aplin, “Dreams,” or Elenowen, “Flying For The First Time”
-Feeling nostalgic: Sam Cooke, “Bring It On Home”
-Morning run: Disclosure, “Apollo”
–Feeling like something different: Cults, “Go Outside”

Those clam shell things look delicious, I could eat one right now with a pot of tea. But I'm dieting ha ha, well trying to eat healthy at least. It's a shame about your comments was that a disqus fault or what?
I remember seeing that photo with the cookies on your Instagram 🙂 Looking very yummy!! 🙂
