A Rouge custom order

For the past week I've been working on a fun custom order for a friend of a friend's wedding. I designed and made six of my 3-in-1 Glamourous wristlets in the most gorgeous raw silk fabric for the bridesmaids, to match their royal blue outfits. I hope they'll enjoy their wristlets as much as I enjoyed working on this custom order!

A cute little touch (well, at least I thought so...) is that the wristlets are lined in three different color raw silk : coral, lime green and seafoam... Vibrant!

Aaaaaaaaaah. Mojito!

This is one of summer's simplest pleasures: a chilled mojito made with fresh mint straight from my garden. Cheers!

Trading Chronicles : teepetals

A few weeks ago, I've decided to brighten up my summer a little by doing some trades with some fellow Etsy sellers. It is such a fun way to discover new shops and get great stuff! As a result, I've been in contact with some amazing, talented artists.

Teepetals is one of them for sure! Her use of gorgeous, colorful fabrics for wallets, pouches and clutches is awesome.

In this very fun swap I got a really fun Sushi print pouch. I just looooooove it! But I do have to say that I might have to give it up to give as a gift to a pregnant friend who is craving sushi these days but can't have any....

Here are some other beautiful pieces from teepetals' shop.

Flowery Summer Earrings

For me, the perfect summer earrings have to be really simple, yet elegant. They have to have just the right amount of sparkle and color to make any summer outfit bloom. And Etsy is full of beautiful flowery summer earrings. I wish I could buy them all and have a beautiful bouquet of summer earrings!

Garden inspiration

I love the little garden that I have created this summer on my balcony, with the help of my gardener brother ( he is currently getting his degree in horticulture). I love to watch the plants and flower grow with all their bright colors. It is so uplifting and inspiring!

Above all, I really enjoy my little herb garden. It has mint (perfect for mojitos!), basil, rosemary, chives and eatable flowers. Yummy!

I also have a lot of candles and lanterns so I can enjoy this calm an relaxing oasis at night too.
