What santa brought

Salut tout le monde. Oui I have finally finished a little image of some of the treats that santa brought me for Christmas. The snowy background is right outside my front door here in Canada! So it turns out that santa, AKA mon petit ami, did rather well in the present stakes and managed to get me the perfect shade of aubergine nail polish, my favourite Aveda hair product and a gorgeous watch. Lucky me!

Bisoux.

Love, Amandine x

p.s. Mr Robbie the Robbin did not feature in my stocking, but he did like styling his feathers with my Aveda mousse. He’s the coolest bird in the wood.

new project

Bonjour tout le monde. OK, I have not disappeared into a black hole, main non, I’ve just been enjoying the Christmas festivities, g&ts, egg nog and the like. I love Christmas! But I am now working on an illustration based around some of the lovely pressies I received for Christmas. I am sadly without scanner at the moment, so I took these photos of some sketches, sorry for the not so great quality. I will update you with pretty pictures as I go along.

Et voilà! A tout à l’heure
Love, Amandine x

Peep Toe Shoe Boot Love

Oh Lordy Lord I have just seen these Pierre Hardy for Gap shu-bu’s, and I think I’ve developed a Fush (Footwear Crush). I need them immediately. Good thing I’m off to NYC at the weekend.

Ciao ciao…

The Amandine Party

Taking a leaf out of a book belonging to our amis français and in the spirit of la gaité parisienne, I am throwing an election night party tonight for my closest girlfriends. And since my mind is made up about who to vote for, that just leaves the difficult choice of which cocktail to have tonight. They all have a political theme, naturally. So should I go for the Red Kiss, the Eton Blazer or the Yellow Daisy? Or in case there’s a hung parliament, maybe I should just try them all…

Right, off to prepare. Ciao ciao!

Love, Amandine x

Lady of Leisure

Morning (or afternoon) peeps!

Today I have decided to down tools and have a day of rest. I do believe it is coffee, croissant and T4 o’clock!

So check back tomorrow for the next installment of a Mademoiselle about town.

Love letters in the Strand

I started the day today as usual at Glow, with a skinny latte, a fresh-from-the-oven croissant and a good book. I have just read that in 1926, 15,000 lettres d’amour from Juliette Drouset to Victor Hugo were sold at auction for  18,000 francs. This reminded me of the recent news that secret love letters from JKF to his Swedish lover Gunilla von Post were sold at auction for $100,000.

Maybe I should print out all my blog posts and tie them up in a saucy red ribbon so that one day I will posthumously be worth a fortune? Although as they say, you can’t take it with you so on second thoughts, I could always slip on my Louboutins and slink out for a sneaky Martini with the Editor at the Sun.  After all, a little ‘publicity’ couldn’t really be that bad for a girl’s reputation. Could it?
