Happy Sunday kittens from the pretty woods, 

There are days like this when I'm bad, I can't do it, I'm not happy with myself and I don't feel like forcing things, so no DIY jewelry yesterday, but I'm close to the goal I feel, I'm missing a "je ne sais quoi" that will make the difference, keep working on it... it's coming, I'm not worried. I just wanted to say THANK YOU again for the torrent of love you sent me to announce the release of Make my Party! Thank you, it was galvanizing, I was drunk with all that love, and I was jumping up and down, twirling in love like the beginning of a story...

I hear it's going to be even worse when I have it in my hands... I think I'm going to cry or scream, or roll around in it, or all three at the same time, and then they'll lock me up in a straitjacket, that's for sure. To tell you the truth, I'm so worried about this moment, because I have no idea what my reaction will be, that I asked Mai, on the big day, when the envelope was being unwrapped, to be there to immortalize the moment!

To get back to the point, I've been craving spring, color and the abandonment of pantyhose, and since all that time working in my cloistered or almost cloistered home, I've been wanting to get dressed, you know, I've been wanting to make an effort, to look for a mix, with clothes on the bed, fittings in the bathroom mirror, based on that "ah ça je ne faut pas que j'oublie, ce look il est vraiment bien", Please tell me that you do that too, because then I'd feel less alone. I started doing this in junior high, the old back-to-school days, but these fitting sessions have become rituals at every change of era in my life... I have another memory that comes back to me, when I was a child, I used to frantically cut out mail-order catalogs, to make fantasy looks, a pair of pants here, a blouse there, I had notebooks full of La Redoute silhouettes, with pieces that my mother didn't want to order, a bit like a late trend book, yes because obviously, I wasn't allowed to cut out the current season's catalogs... So I waited patiently for the new catalog so I could pounce on the previous one, a pair of scissors between my teeth... ready to cut out the pair of barbie sneakers... Thanks Mom.

So today I'm wearing a trench coat ellosI'd been looking for one for a long time, with a nice material and a cut that wasn't too long and, above all, wouldn't kill my banker. A loose sweater redoute créationa Selected shirt and my Mango necklace, which I don't need to introduce to you anymore. A pair of straight-cut jeans that make a hell of a ball. Levi'sa pair of Steve Madden pumps and a cuddly star. la redoute.
