I’m back in the office today after some fantastic adventures in London and Paris. Post Royal Wedding, I hopped on the Eurostar to Paris to enjoy a few gorgeous warm spring days in one of my favourite cities. I’ve concluded that everything lovely and luxe in life is French and quite frankly I couldn’t get enough of it. One of my musts while in Paris of course is a stop (or two, or three) at the famous Ladurée to pick up some of their otherworldly macaroons. Read the rest of this entry »

Anybody tying the knot in Paris? Anybody? Well for those of you even considering Paris a wedding destination, may I suggest that you check out Sugarplum Cake Shop?

Current obsession: Laura Dowling
Just when I thought I’ve seen it all, I come across something so awe-inspiring that I feel the urge to share with you ASAP. I’ve heard of Laura Dowling before (I’ve even featured some of her work), but it was only last week that I was able to really peruse through this florists’ portfolio. The minute I clapped eyes on her arrangements, I knew that there was something quite extraordinary about them–has a very je ne sais quoi feeling (funny because she studied in Paris and brought back her knowledge to Washington, where she is currently located). All her creations reflect a very couture-like floral design, a different aspect that you may not be used to, but will love nonetheless.
