Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basThe other day, I wanted to bake some buttery biscuits to pair with my dinner. Evidence that sometimes, I can pull off the homemade gourmet meals. I gathered all the ingredients and whipped them up. When I pulled them out of the oven, they were less than impressive. Small, sunken, flat and not at all raised and fluffy. Evidence that sometimes, I completely fail at homemade, gourmet meals.
I mean, I...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basLike many people, I wasn't very sun smart in my younger years. Back then, having strongly defined tan lines was a proud testimonial to hours logged basting ourselves in baby oil and lying on the pool lounger all summer long.

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basThe other day was a rotten, no good, really terrible day for me and in an effort to perk myself up, I went into the nearest drugstore and bought myself a new mascara.

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basAside from presents, my favourite thing about the holiday season is entertaining. I love bringing people together, having a laugh or two and sharing a fabulous meal. A few years ago, we hosted an awesome cookie exchange party. This year, I'm feeling a little grown up and I think a retro dinner party is in order.

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basWe haven't had the first snowfall yet, but judging by the sharp cold air and the grey sky today, snow isn't far off. While I am not a huge fan of a major snowfall (traffic getting to work is not fun), I do love a good pair of boots.
They're so stylish and you all know what ugly feet I have, so any chance to cover 'em up is a good one. Here are 20 pairs of gorgeous, super cute and practical...
