weekend!
I wish you a happy and relaxing weekend and if you are a dad, then I wish you a happy Fathers' day. Remember to request equal treatment to Mothers' day : breakfast in bed, homemade pancakes, extra hugs, and if you are really lucky, you'll even have the chance to play Barbie and Lego with your kids all afternoon... ;-)
Enjoy this special weekend! Xo, Si-

weekend!
I wish you a great weekend my dear, and if you are a mom {outside the U.S}, then I wish you a happy Mothers' Day. Make them spoil you on Sunday, and don't settle for less than a breakfast in bed [extra bonus for homemade pancakes], dinner out, and lots of hugs and cuddling! Xo, Si-

Have a happy, happy Easter weekend, and easy on the chocolate... [yeah, yeah, you buy it for the kids, and you don't like leftovers... I know, I use the same excuse...]. I will see you back here on Monday! Xo, Si-

My "Good Girl" Xmas List
Can you tell I've been playing on Polyvore? I had so much fun preparing my "Good Girl" Xmas wish list - meaning that I am getting some of these items for myself from myself, like the fabulous it-bag from Clare Vivier that I just ordered from Clare Vivier. Can't wait to get it in the mail... Also eyeing seriously the Garmin GPS/ heart rate monitor for my morning runs, but I am hoping it's arelady under the Christmas tree (*hint*) 'cause I can't justify so much expense for myself...
Do you give yourself Xmas gifts? Oh, come on...

Christmas Trees by Milk
I fell in love with the Milk [kids fashion French magazine] holiday shots, and I had to share these with you... Special crush for the crates arranged as Xmas trees... no messy needles with these!

Saturday's Treat : More cool Xmas decor ideas
Back by popular demand, here is another selection of original and easy DIY christmas decoration. I am usually off the blogosphere on weekends, but since I am decorating the house for Christmas and doing some DIY projects with the kids, I figured I could share some really cool ones with you and leave you some weekend time to make them yourself. Enjoy and have fun! Xo, Si-

Today's Crush
Just saw this really really cool hand-made christmas tree, designed by stylist Claire Laritt Evans. I love it! Extra bonus, this tree is made out of old pieces of wood, so there's no cutting down trees this christmas... Share the love and order yours here!

bling bling
Might be the holiday season starting a bit early in my head, the [greatly] falling weather temperatures or else, but I'm in a gold and glitter mode...

New shop items!
Oh la la, I went treasure hunting today and I found some amazing finds! These beauties will be available soon for sale on the shop. I must admit I love these vintage finds so much that I wouldn't mind keeping them all for myself... I even seriously debated with myself whether this gorgeous early century dress form should stay in my bedroom as a jewelry display piece, it's just too perfect!
Have a fantastic week end! Xo, Si-

Unplugged
Today is Veterans Day in the US and the celebration of end of World War I in Europe! No school today on my side of the planet, so it feels like a day off - if having the kids around the house can be called a day off... Hope you are having a great laid back day if you are off - and if you are working, well, then you get extra free hugs today! ;-)
XoXo, Si-

Happy Halloween!
Have a scary and spooky Halloween week end - and go easy on the kids' candies [I myself have a rule that on such specific occasion calories just do not count - but let's not push our luck!] ;-)
Have a fabulous week end! I'll see you back on Monday! Xo, Si-
