Ice ice baby week #1
Happy Monday in the sun, kittens!
I'm having one special week after another, because I'm having so much fun at the moment! Once again, it's a collaboration with someone I adore: Lili! I'm sure I'll have to do a portrait of her for my "good people" column, and why not a special week, to be continued... LiliShe's quite a journalist, in charge of beauty for a wonderful magazine, Le M du Monde... I met her thanks to the blog, another wonderful encounter that this little space has brought me...
A year ago, she came to my home so that I could make her a recipe for her blog "ma récréation". If you've missed her siteit's time to catch up... It was a sweet encounter that turned into a beautiful friendship that we maintain through lunches and dinners with Mai, whom I don't need to introduce to you anymore... the fine team.
The genesis of this special "ice ice baby" week, in fact, began during one of those famous lunches at Torayaabout 2 months ago, if memory serves... And at dessert time, over a sort of sumptuous Mochis, I tell Lili about the 200 ideas that squat in my brain every day. I explain to her that since the series of fashions cakes in Glamour, I've been dying to do fashion and cuisine again, and why not beauty and cuisine? I explain to her that I've been wanting to do "nail art" and coordinating ice creams, but not eye-popping nail art, but something chic... In short, I'd proposed this idea to a magazine, but didn't get back to them soon enough, and you know, magazines close very early. So to propose a colorful series of nail art and ice creams for the month of September or October, I think it would have fallen a little short...
Anyway, I really wanted to do this series and I told all this to Lili, who smiled, smiled, enjoyed it all behind her steaming tea and took out a notebook with the intention of a series with popsicles and manicures... Okay, it was crazy, so we thought, what the hell, we'll do it together for our respective sites. And here we are.
This week, I'm going to give you a new image every day, so you can learn the secrets behind the making of a series like this... And it's also time for me to tell you a bit about my job... and my days.
A warm kiss to you all.
