Gossip Girl Season 4 is proving to be just as devious & delicious as the previous seasons.

And the clothes- unfathomable.

When I thought they couldn't possibly get any better-they do.

The dresses & bags, the coats & shoes.

I watch in absolute awe, completely inspired.

Aren't clothes, shoes, jewellery and bags always a reason to keep watching a show? ;)

Oh, the Eiffel...♥

And just a little hint about tomorrow's post & the visual ecstasy I experienced last night...xx

It's E T Tuesday & cloudy...

It's pretty miserable weather for a Sydney November. Extremely overcast and a dreadfully cold day. It's perfect reading weather (not that I need a certain kind of weather to want to read). I do love winter just oh so much and am really envying the northern hemisphere right about now. The thought of cosying up in bed with a good book & a hot cup of coffee seems blissful.

Wouldn't reading on this lovely Parisian balcony with a... Café au lait, probably a cigarette (you're in France remember) & a macaron from Laduree...be perfection?

As much as I love the Eiffel, I wouldn't be reading about it.

I'd be page-turning this...

 

I'm not surprised Helen Simonson's Major Pettigrew's Last Stand has become a New York Times Best Seller, in the Top 5 at Angus & Robertson's Bookstore & is soon becoming a favourite of mine. It's so delightful. Here's a little synopsis:

"Honour, duty and a properly brewed cup of tea ... get ready for the Major to steal your heart in the sweet, moving and uplifting story of a highly unlikely relationship between a very proper English gentleman and a widowed Pakistani shopkeeper. Major Ernest Pettigrew (retired) leads a quiet life in the small rural English village of Edgecombe St Mary where he values the proper things that Englishmen have treasured for generations - honour, duty, decorum and a properly brewed cup of tea.

The Major takes pleasure in his well-organised and rational life until he finds that his patronising son, and the kind yet interfering ladies of the village seem to have their own, rather special plans for him. It's his brother's death, though, that sparks an unexpected friendship with Mrs Jasmina Ali, the Pakistani shopkeeper from the village. Drawn together by their shared love of literature and the loss of their respective spouses, the Major and Mrs Ali soon find their friendship blossoming into something more. But although the Major was actually born in Lahore, and Mrs Ali was born in Cambridge, village society insists on embracing him as the quintessential local and her as a permanent foreigner.

A most unlikely hero, Major Pettigrew finds himself contending with irate relatives, an outraged village and a mad old woman armed with a knitting needle before he comes to understand his own heart. Written with warmth, feeling and a delightfully dry sense of humour, this very modern love story will have you cheering wildly for the Major and Mrs Ali."

I think it may be time for some coffee (I prefer it to tea) & Major Pettigrew.

Happy Tuesday mes amis ♥

Eiffel Tower Tuesdays ♥

I have been a little MIA lately...& I've really missed blogging...but today's Tuesday...a good day for a quick post....Enjoy Sonia's brooches.

Happy Tuesday.

And then there was pink?...

There is a good reason God created the colour pink...I can't say I'm too religious a person at all but somehow, somewhere, something spiritually enlightening occurs when I look at something in pink. I'm sure a majority of girls have the same experience...even with age-it just never goes away. So, I think these little photos need don't really need words, enjoy ♥.

It's Tuesday too...

Can you see the Eiffel amongst all the PINK!?!

Torre Eiffel...♥

I only discovered Citizen Couture today!...Therefore, what a happy happy day it is...

As you would know I am a huge fan of The Sartorialist's & of Garance Dore's so to find someone that comes close to rivalling them is quite the feat.

I would usually post a zillion glorious photographs from CC (which I'm sure to do in the following days) BUT it's Tuesday!! & just wonderfully, CC had a lovely pic of the Torre Eiffel ♥

Adiós

エッフェル塔 (Efferu-tō)

Let's be a little cultured a learn how to say Eiffel Tower in Japanese.

Efferu-tō....a different language everyweek ...it could actually catch on...

This image could almost be a little Japanese...the bare trees remind me of cherry blossoms...god I adore cherry blossoms they are just so delicate & frilly and pink. So girly. Ow dear what distractions.

ANYWAY! Happy Tuesday!...arent you glad Monday's over? ...I am.
...OK so just as I was about to publish this post I decided to google Eiffel Tower + Pink & came across a few beautiful images. ...& yes ONE WITH CHERRY BLOSSOMS! ...So obviously, I couldn't resist ... two more...xxx

Le Tour Eiffel Tuesdays...♥

Is it Tuesday already?...The last week has flown & I have evidently had no time to blog- even though I have come across about a zillion things I love that I could have posted about. Nevertheless- what do I love more than a lovely Eiffel image?...nothing really...and because I'm in an art mood...

Robert Delauney's Camps de Mars (The Red Tower) 1911/1923

...magnifique!

Le Tour Eiffel Tuesdays...♥

There is nothing that puts a smile on my face more than a beautiful pic of the Eiffel Tower...therefore I have decided that Tuesday's will be Eiffel Tower days...a different picture every week...unless I get over excited & find the desperate need to post one on another day other than Tuesday...we'll see.

BONSOIR MES AMIS!
