We meet either in Aix-en-Provence or Antibes (France) 
We love spending time together doing our favorites things:
browsing in all the antique shops,
discovering old villages, drinking rosé in the sun, 
worrying about what our next meal will be...shopping at the farmer's market, 
Cooking good dinners and having lots of laughs! Always champagne at sunset!
Maybe a boat trip along the Med sea....
sunning, bronzing, laughing, drinking chilled rosé stopping in Monte Carlo or St. Tropez for lunch....
I love summer...
This summer I will be in Los Angeles...by my own sea...making my own gourmet meals,
sipping rosé and...being grateful to be very busy, working!!

The movie follows one young woman's story (Amy Adams)as she finds her inspiration in Julia Child. 
From the trailers the movie looks, funny, poignant and 
It's a scary thing to start diving into...I mean, it can be intimidating, even to us designers!

Carolina Irving, the one time style editor for Home and Garden Magazine, showed her new line of home fabrics and Irving & Fine clothing line. 
Her unique beach cover-ups were fresh, current and offered in great color combinations of turquoise, green and coral. Apologies for the blurry shot taken from my IPhone.
