Loving the look of this clever and beautifully-illustrated book by graphic designer Vahram Muratyan, a visual homage to two of the world's great cities.

In the contest between macarons vs cupcakes - hmm, it's a close one... but for me I think les macarons must win.

paper art

Love this idea... artwork made out of used envelopes. A sweet way to re-use some special mail, and create something beautiful for your wall at the same time.

loving stripes

...at the moment. Can't get enough of them, wherever they may be. I fear it might be turning into a bit of a problem actually, and someone should probably stop me, before the entire house, myself and my child end up covered in them.

They do go nicely with our Cannes invitation however.

dear amy poehler...

You are so funny. I must admit, at first I was not sure. A comedy series about a government parks department? It didn't exactly sound too... well, comedic. But one whole hilarious series later, it is safe to say that I am now quite obsessed with your Parks and Recreation. To the point that I want to watch it every evening. And I see you have nice taste in hats and tops too.
