Make My Lemonade Blog

Hello otters! I'm writing you this little post on this sweet Sunday, just before getting on my glitter bike (yes, remember, my boyfriend is a bike makeover god) to enjoy the spring that's just around the corner! A promise made, a promise kept, and today I'm here to tell you a little about our daily lives at [...].

Happy Friday, kittens! So that's it, we're off, I've got the wind at my back, but I've got to confess that I'm already in the mood for something shorter, something less wise... Because I don't really know what's been going on in my life, but for some time now I've been [...].

Hello my little cats! I'm here to tell you about Lemonade Studio's latest big project! A few weeks ago, the Sonia By Sonia Rykiel brand asked us to create some festive window displays for their summer collection... After a lot of brainstorming, and after discovering the totally fun and tangy collection, we decided to [...].

To tell you the truth, 3 years ago for my 25th birthday, I received the craziest gift of all, a cake from Chez Bogato featuring my first Make My Party book. It was divine, forget the sugar paste decorations, the lanterns were made of very fine marzipan, it was a raspberry [...].

Happy Friday my little cats! Ah this light at the end of winter! I love it, it smells like spring, I'm all joy, I think it has something to do with the fact that finally this morning I had hot water in my new apartment (no more need to go to the gym every day!), [...]

Here we are! Delivery scheduled for March 1, here we are on the 3rd, ok! But all things come to those who wait, and you know what, if life as an entrepreneur has taught me anything, it's that in real life things never go as planned, but they do end up [...].

Happy Monday!

It's Monday, everything's going well, I've moved in without a hitch, the new site is being fine-tuned and Léna, the new Wear Lemonade dress, is here. I think I can say it without fail: the planets are aligned, and thanks to this great piece of printed silk we're all going to have a wonderful week.

As I wrote on Saturday, this shirtdress is a great basic, an all-terrain piece: during the day, with a pair of derbies and little socks, you'll be given every job on earth, and after 7pm, with a pair of pumps and a good lipstick, you'll be bombastic - yes, bombastic, my friends. I wanted it to be ambivalent, a bit like all women in the end, its shirt collar and tomboy low waist, mixed with its little breast pockets and box pleats in this 100% silk fabric, are an ode to delicacy and femininity! And what's more, the box pleats conceal pockets on the sides that give it its distinctive look - you guessed it, I'm a fan! But I could also tell you about its lightness and the cool way it twirls for hours!

To recap, Léna is available in the blue of your over-dyed eyeswhich gives it a "washed silk" effect, adding depth to the fabric. It has small covered buttons, 4 essential pockets and a small, scooped collar that will give you a slender neck, I promise. And it's available in a silk screen-printed "beau regard"In the making-of video, I show you how I created the pattern using paper, a piece of tape and a pen (Mac Gyver is out of this world). This print is exclusive, just like our scarves you've been raiding! In practice, these dresses can be worn all year round, either closed all the way to the top with a little ribbon as a lavaliere, a good pair of tights and a soft cardigan, or with strappy sandals, open over your made-in-terrasses tan and your puncture-proof denim jacket.

And it's easy to take care of: 100% silk is the stuff of dreams, but apart from the ultra-recommended "I wash by hand and don't wring it out, I leave it to dry on a hanger", you can occasionally machine-wash it... And yes! But how? Quite simply, the next time you wash your tights and lingerie, take the opportunity to put them inside out, in a lingerie net, and above all, don't spin-dry! This is what can pull and break the silk's fragile threads. Choose a cold wash (or delicate laundry) and don't forget to wear the blue Lena dress.of your eyes"with dark clothes, the "beautiful look"with white/light colors. Put it on a hanger to dry, and to iron it, just use the steam of the iron, without putting the soleplate on the garment. The dress will relax like magic!  

Hello my little cats! By the time you read this, I'll probably be carrying boxes dressed like Mario Bros to move into our new home! Yeah! While I'm thrilled to be wearing overalls today, I'm so much more looking forward to Monday, when I'll be wearing my Léna dress! [...]

Hello my little cats! As I write this, the studio is busy getting ready to welcome you this evening! And here's my latest article on Athens! It's a rather special article, as I'd been thinking about doing a design like this for a long time! I hope it turns out [...]

My little cats! I'm on cloud nine! And speaking of cumulus clouds, I've also had another little cloud, a gray one, hanging over my head for the past few weeks. You know those little clouds that follow you everywhere, that you can't do anything about, just wait for them to pass? Well, I'm [...]

Hello my little cats! Great news, good news! The days are getting longer and we'll be opening the lemonade studio doors again this Wednesday, February 24 from 5:30 to 9pm! It's great to see you again, I hope you'll join us for a lemonade, and it's also time to unveil [...].

Happy Sunday company! Today it's foodie, so I think I'll try to rhyme this post with "i". No, no, I'm not going to get into that because I don't think I'll ever finish it! So I'm posting the recipe for Genovesi, that little Sicilian pastry that I love so much!
