After lots of island fun on l'Ile de Ré we drove through the French countryside to a valley that I have been wanting to visit for years: la Vallée des Singes, the Monkey Valley! I heard it is a place where monkeys live in near wild conditions. And actually that's pretty much it! We had Read article…

I heart Hartô again
I have a few more beauties from Maison & Objet to share with you. Over the week I checked the M&O coverage and realized I didn't get to see at least 80%, but I'm happy to show you the booth of my January crush: Hartô. This time around, this fresh brand from Paris presented a Read article…
I heart Hartô
The good thing about a grey and rainy Sunday in Paris? You can spend it at Maison & Objet and bring home an overdose of inspiration, lots of nice conversations with designers, many giggles with fellow bloggers and a full SD card with loads of images. That's exactly what I did 😉 One of my Read article…
Ho ho ho x100
HO HO HO, Merry Christmas! I hope you are having a wonderful day with loved ones, or if you're not celebrating: just a nice regular Wednesday. Oh and if you need it, our Lego genie grants you 3 wishes if you rub the lamp 😉 Also, I wanted to thank you for all the cheers Read article…
My favorite Aire de Jugy
I love traveling in my own country. The Oise region is really nice, but nothing makes me happier than driving on the Autoroute du Soleil. Ohhh… the promise of sun, la mer and pine trees in the South of France… ♥ A break at one of the many rest areas along the road makes it Read article…
Malmok
Don't judge a book by its cover. Ever so often I'm disappointed when flipping through children's books at Fnac. Why make an attractive cover with a boring inside? Why? This book called Malmok is a nice exception: the blue foil letters and pelican illustration make the cover look pretty, but the illustrations inside are even Read article…
A playful week
When Tina and I were playing around with Google doodles for her Vive la Différence series, she mentioned that both our homes are full of toys even though we don't have kids. I guess we both have a playful spirit! This week I stretched the limits of my playfulness by going on a little tour Read article…
Easter squee
Ever since I was a little girl, these 4 piggie banks stand on the windowsill at my parent's house. They were made by my mom in the early 80s when she was into pottery and ceramics. One of them lost part of his belly in the oven, but he survived. A few hours after I Read article…
Pantone Emerald or Saint Patrick’s?
Without a doubt this was one of my favorite spaces in Stockholm: the children's workshop at the Arkitekturmuseet. It's bold, it's green and it smells like craft glue and linoleum. What more can you wish for? Besides the supercool lampshades, I really like the chairs with one "ear" (or raised hand?): My first internship ever Read article…
