HAPPY FRIDAY #77
Happy Friday my little kitties!
I am so happy to show you these pictures. First of all, because I love this Lola dress! I chose to make it in silk and in a longer version. I loved the fabric and Julie Perrot, while filming the tutorial, gave me the idea to make it longer. Thus, I made it in the next few hours. Made of silk, the dress is very light and already in my suitcase for the holidays, ready to be worn because she is like that Lola, always ready… The silk comes from Sacrés Coupons and you will need 3m of fabric to sew the longer version of Lola! Secondly, I love these pictures because Martin Condomines from Say Cheers took them. Martin is the photographer who is going to capture our wedding and I am very happy he accepted to work with us because his work is very nice, different and obviously not conventional at all… I also love these pictures because I discovered the Gardens of the Greenhouses of Auteuil this day and I have already posted an outfit from another part of this place but the park that surrounds the greenhouse is just magic. It is a kind of time travel, everything is so quiet, wonderfully flowery and these greenhouses are so poetic and romantic! I whish I would have discovered this place before.
Thirdly, I like these pictures because I am wearing my crazy shoes offered by my friends and love for my last birthday, the love shoes. They are from Louboutin and I wore a higher version for the plan B dress pictures that the brand nicely lent me. However, to be honest, I could not walk with them; I do not have the “thin Louboutin” foot so I dreamt of these heart pumps much lower, and I really liked the idea to have flat Louboutin shoes in my collection…
Finally, I like these pictures because I am just in love with this Tara Jarmon red cape and it is also the brand of my wedding dress… I will not tell more about it because in addition to the plan B dress that I am going to wear for the civil wedding, I also have another dress. For the lay ceremony and the party, I found the dress of my dreams and luckily Tara Jarmon made it! I cannot wait to show you more! I send you big kisses and I am going to enjoy my last hours as Mademoiselle.

WEAR LEMONADE #9 LOLA DRESS
Hello my little kitties!
Let me introduce to you the sweet Lola, the perfect dress for this autumn that is going to light up your bad days: to wear with a pair of dotted black tights, a pair of boots or glitter pumps but also with a blazer or a bomber… Actually it is an easy dress. It is made of cotton and very soft. Both versions have a nice white collar made of poplin. As I already told you once before, I think white collars are like red lipsticks: the final touch to complete an outfit and I really like it…
Today, for Lola’s launch and for the Parisians, we offer you the delivery within 3hours, at home or your work place, and a little flowers bouquet from Bloom's. I would love to spoil you all but the 3-hours delivery is a bit complicated if you live in Marseille for example. I am sure we will find a solution so that you can also have your fresh lemonade dose as soon as possible. Anyway, for those you live in France, you will also have a little surprise in your orders…
About the 3-hours delivery, it starts at the time you order your Lola dress thanks to the Deliver.ee service. If you order after 4pm, the delivery will be the day after. The 100 first clients to order with Deliver.ee will benefit the free delivery but the service will remain available on Wearlemonade.com after the operation (for the last minute anniversary gifts or clothes emergencies…) for €7. We thought it would be perfect to contact the nice website Bloom's for this launch because they offer individual seasonal flowers (from France) so that you can compose you own bouquets! Thus, it is with a DIY spirit that we wanted to thank you all to make Wear Lemonade grow! Yellow freesias to perfume you home sweet home or your office!
To go back to Lola, I made 3 different versions: one made of silk with a poplin white collar, a yellow and a black versions with white polka dots… I love them and I think it is the model I enjoyed to sew the most!
Some info you need to know about the sweet Lola:
- You can buy the pattern in a nice packaging with an instruction booklet and a Wear Lemonade tag here.
- You can download the PDF version for €1.66. There is no booklet to help you but you still have the video and the page that explains how to put the sheets together.
- This pattern is easy, very easy… Finger in the nose!
- You will need 1.70m of fabric to sew Lola (with 1.45m of width). Have fun and choose the fabric you want! We cannot wait to see the results! However, do not take a too heavy fabric because the gathers will be less regular.
- You will also need 0.70cm of thin bonding tape to make the collar.
- A dress hook.
- As a reminder, the seam allowance is included in all the Wear Lemonade patterns (= 1cm) except for the hems but it is always indicated.
- If you need any help or if you have some questions, do not hesitate to send a message to Laure at [email protected].
Moreover, you can send us your realisations at [email protected] so that we can post the pictures in our Facebook albums. Check this out!

SECRET CUTIE PIE
Hello my little buttered hearts!
I hope you had a nice sunny weekend… As for me, I spent some time with my mom and she gave me a family secret…the magic pastry! I am sure you have sweet childhood memories of delicious apricots pies, amazing Tatin tarts… I do not know if it is related to the wedding that is coming but I wanted to share some childhood memories with you. I went to the market and I thought some plums would be perfect for this recipe, if my mom told me the truth! Here is the secret of the perfect pastry you can use for every fruit pies!
For the dough you need:
- - 250g of cold butter
- - 500g of flour
- - 75g of icing sugar
- - 1 teaspoon of salt
- - 8 tablespoons of water and 1 of cider vinegar
and for the filling (here we chose plums but it also works with any juicy fruit)
- - 1kg of plums (Queen Claude)
- - ½ lemon juice
- - 100g brown sugar
- - 1 vanilla sugar sachet
- - 1 egg
- - 4 tablespoon of semolina
To start, dice the butter. Then, in a bowl, give the butter a sandy texture with a fork or a robot adding all the dry ingredients (flour, salt and icing sugar). Then introduce the tablespoons of water and cider vinegar and continue to mix. The dough has to be smooth and homogenous. Wrap the dough in cellophane and put it in the fridge for 45 minutes.
During this time, preheat your oven and start the filling preparation! Cut the fruits in quarters. Mix them with brown and vanilla sugar, and the lemon juice. Put the mixture into a hot and buttered pan and cook (low heat) it stirring for 15 minutes. Once the plums slightly caramelized, place them out of the heat and drain them.
Roll out the dough (0.5cm) with a rolling pin on a flowered surface and then place it in a pie dish (pastry edges 2cm). Fill the pastry with ceramic baking beans and cook for 15 minutes. Take off the ceramic baking beans and leave it to cool. In two small bowls, separate the egg white and yolk. The family secret is coming… Using a brush, paint the pastry with the egg white and dust semolina all over it. The semolina will absorb the fruit juice and the pastry will remain crunchy! Fill it with the fruits. You can decorate your pie with some pastry stripes (I advise you to do it only if the fruits are cold enough). Bake for 25 minutes and enjoy!

MAKE MY COMPTOIR DES COTONNIERS
Happy Sunday my little otters!
It is Charlotte again! You all were very excited about the DIY we realized during the Comptoir des Cotonniers Workshop (you will find the giveaway results at the end of the post, I know I am keeping a bit of suspense…) so we decided to show you a short summary of this lovely afternoon we spent with you.
This workshop was the occasion to welcome you for the first time in our new freshly redecorated Lemonade Studio and we were so proud! I was a little bit moved to see the girls very amazed entering our new office. We put the two big tables together and they just looked so small in the middle of this huge space and I was really wondering how we did before, in our previous studio to welcome you properly.
During this Comptoir des Cotonniers workshop, there were two DIYs sessions: the flowered Slash and a t-shirt customization with the same technique as for the military jacket. In order to cut these little elements, you had the chance to meet Michel, our cutting machine, which (who?) is a really precision expert! Check this video out!
I know you have been so many not to get your tickets for the workshops, we read all your messages and we are very sad about the situation. Do not worry, we are preparing many others and Wear Lemonade Workshops are coming very soon…
To participate, I advise you to sign up to the newsletter and you will be informed about the next tickets sale… Little geek tip to increase your chances to get a ticket, here is a solution: use your Ethernet cable to have a better and faster Internet connection!
Thank you Comptoir des Cotonniers, Audrey, Detox Delight for the delicious juices (W-2 before Lisa’s wedding so we decided to bet on light…), Nathan, Michel, and all of you for the good vibes and energy you send to us!
More pictures of the event on Facebook!
The winners are… Mims and the musical references, and L.A and the bus driver. Contact us at [email protected] and send us your address!

SAVE THE DATE: LOLA!
Hello my little kitties!
Today, no Happy Friday but we are still going to talk about clothes! Not any clothes… because it is all about the Lola dress. It is my new bestfriend, my Autumn uniform and even a good resolution outfit. Wearing this dress, you will look like the top of the class. I am really fan of the collar we made with Laure (the queen of the patterns) for the pattern of the Bianca shirt and I wanted to find it again but on a little dress. I think a shirt collar is always the final touch of an outfit, same as lipstick…
The little Lola dress is coming on Wearlemonade.com next Wednesday, the 30th at 10am!
Lola is the easy-to-wear little dress. She is feminine and does not fit too much. I do not really like fitted cuts because you always feel okay in the morning but often not enough comfortable during the day… At the same time, to give you some indications, Lola is more fitted than the Bianca shirt, one of our first patterns, because you though it was a bit too large. I think we found a compromise with this one! About the different colors, you will be able to buy Lola in an ultramarine blue version, to wear with a denim jacket for example, or a black one without collar, and dotted tights! Do not hesitate to post on the social media some pictures of you wearing our Wear Lemonade clothes in order to inspire us new combinations and outfits! The second version is in an ink blue color with white cherries. I love this pattern and we almost forget about the cherries because it becomes a sort of graphic composition… Anyway, Lola I love you and I cannot wait to take my models and put them into my closet!
As we like organizing small events for each new launch, we have a nice surprise for the Parisians… Do not worry my other little kitties from all around France; we have also cool surprises coming for the next launches! From Wednesday and for the 100 first orders, we are going to offer you the delivery within the same day thanks to Deliver.ee. I explain: if you order before 2pm, you will be able to receive your clothes order during the afternoon with a small bouquet of flowers from Bloom's! A good opportunity to show off in the open space, if you see what I mean….
I will talk about the pattern more precisely next Wednesday and show you different versions you can do (I already have 3…). I am wearing a size S (36/38) for the ink blue and cherries dress and a size M for the ultramarine blue one (a bit too big for me). You will find all the indications about sizes and recommendations in the product description. I am also wearing Clarks, Falke socks and a leather bag from April Shower! Pauline Darley took the pictures at the Lemonade Studio.

FLOWERED SNEAKERS[:]
Hello my little kitties!
As I promised, today we are going to talk about the DIY we realized last weekend for the Comptoir des Cotonniers workshop! As usual, we made a backstage video of the event that will be online at the end of the week but for now, I would like to show you this DIY that I love. I am a big fan of flowers and sneakers but I did not think it would be compatible, why not after all… I really enjoyed doing this metallic flowers DIY for disco shoes and in the meantime, I found this picture and I told myself it was the following step…
For the workshop, the girls could customize their sneakers in the same shades or even in the opposite color and I found the leather at Sacrés Coupons. We asked Fil 2000 to make leather covered buttons and here we are… It is very important not to take the cheapest materials if you want a nice result. Here is my total black DIY version!
I also know that it is always frustrating not to live in Paris for the workshops or that the tickets are sold very quickly… For this reason, with Comptoir des Cotonniers we offer you the possibility to win 2 pair of sneakers and the necessary equipment to realize this DIY! What do you think? To participate, you just have to let a comment below telling me your shoe size and why you absolutely need a pair of Slash! The results will be published in Sunday’s post!
Time: 1h
Cost: €20 (excluding the shoes, you can find the Slash here)
Degree of difficulty: Easy
For this DIY you need:
- - Leather pieces
- - The flower pattern: here
- - Scissors
- - A leather needle
- - Some covered buttons (you can do it at Fil 2000 if you give them the fabric)
- - Some thick thread
- - A pen
- - A thimble
Start to print and cut the flowers pattern. Draw the flower on the other side of the leather with a pen.
Cut the flower. Repeat the step for the others. In order to have the same result, you need 7 flowers of each pattern.
Take off your shoelace. We are going to sew the flowers to the tongue of the shoes. The leather is not very thick but you can use a thimble if you want.
Stitch from the inside of the tongue and introduce the 4 flowers on top of each other from the bigger one to the smaller one.
Take a button, place it in the center of the flower and put few stitches in to fix it.
Make a knot and repeat the process for the second flower! It goes very fast you will see!
Here we are!

WELCOME HOME #2
Hello my little chickens!
I am back today to put the sun in your little hearts. Looking through the window makes me want to put my head in the oven… I should have stayed in weekend… but it is another story! Today, I prepared a lemon yellow vitamin post… and I decided to stop assembling pictures in one and only because I prefer to show you everything in real size! Thus, it will be a bit longer than usual but I promise, it will be 100% lemon juice, no sugar added… Let me introduce to you the entrance of our office… the jewel in the crown.
Table, trestles, boxes and lamp from Ikea, chair from La Redoute.
Yes, yes the jewel, I am not afraid of words today. According to me, it is the shop window of the website. The extension of the Internet experience, the perfect room before the total chaos… For a long time, I have been obsessed by this hotel image and I wanted to keep the same idea for my clients. You may not be convinced by I kept this image in my mind and then, when we visited the office I knew it would be the best place for our lemonade stand stripes: on two walls like a candy box.
Cushions from Les soeurs Grene du Danemark, seat from Maison du Monde, Copenhagen Normann lights available on Lightonline and Ikea curtains.
Yes two walls, because we first wanted (with my love the best in the world) to paint the whole room… Then, after painting everything in white and the ceiling in Wimborne White (a luminous off-white) from Farrow and Ball, we started to draw lines (45 degrees) on the two first walls with a yellow colored pencil, a long wooden batten and a set square. Then, we used adhesive tape (special painting) and I have to say that I cannot touch tape anymore as if I became phobic since then. We thought it would be very hard to work in a place full of stripes so we decided not to paint everything. I also think that I would not be able to put adhesive tape on the door moldings… We have been so exited while opening the “Lemon” Yellow paint pot from Farrow & Ball (I think it is a sign…). It is the perfect yellow, not acid at all. After two coats, we immediately took off the tape without waiting any longer (two children…)! I advise you to wait 24 hours until the paint is completely dry or to do it directly. If you take off the tape too soon, it can be a bit risky and you can have a peel-off effect on the paint. Be careful and patient, or very quick…
Lovely lamp and copper bulbs bought on Lighonline and yellow furniture from La Redoute.
Here we are for the technical part. It looks quick but it took a whole weekend to paint everything. In order not to waist time, while the paint was drying I hung white tulle curtains. I think it softens the room and I am so in love with these tulle curtains.
Vintage chair and cushion from La Redoute, lemon tree poster found in a shop on the Quais de Seine (so Parisian…), Saint-Maclou vinyl floor.
My other obsession of the moment is white floors. I literally dream of white waxed concrete or white painted wooden floor… However, I have to admit that it would have been too expensive… For this reason, we painted the whole office with white garage paint but I will talk to you about this later. We do not really know how it is going to look in the future so we decided to put white wooden floor imitation from Saint Maclou in the entrance (obviously… too easy).
Mirror and yellow furniture from La Redoute, DIY rail and box to hide the IT system.
When we arrived, there were 3 big transparent bubbles ceiling lights in the entrance so we kept the electric connections because I dreamt of white ceiling lights since I saw them when I went to Copenhagen last December. While looking on Internet, I saw them again on Lightonline, a real Galeries Lafayette for lights, and I wanted people to have a WOW effect when they enter the office because it is the place to welcome you, where you can pick up your orders but also see the next pieces to come and even try them on! I am currently negotiating with my love for the creation of a folding screen DIY to complete the boutique part of our little entrance.
Yes I am negotiating because he already did a lot for the office and he even built this perfect set of shelves to store all the Wear Lemonade orders without any nail or screw… I had a crush on this picture on Pinterest and thanks to my dad’s help, they assembled this set of shelves in few hours… About the wall decoration, I wanted to hang little lucky frames, a bit like love treasures offered by my friends but the white frames were too pointless so we decided to choose black ones… I hope you will like it and that you will come very soon to visit us! I send you big kisses and see you very soon!
Lemony frames found in a small shop, Devrolles Butterfly, Lemonade illustration by Noemi and Benjamin from Radiooooo.

TUTO BARDOT HAIR, AMY, AUDREY AND JOHN TOO
Hello my little kitties!
Few months ago, I posted a picture on Instagram of Brigitte Bardot: her hair was amazing! I have to say that Brigitte completely masters the messy hair! Then, I tried to do the same. Photographically, we were closed to the same result but on me… it looked like I just woke up in the morning after partying. I looked for other iconographic people to finally found a compromise between Audrey Hepburn and Brigitte Bardot. However, when I did this tutorial with my new hair color, I became kind of Amy Winehouse doppelganger…
To start the week in good conditions, here is a hair tutorial and I tried to be the most explicit I could in the subtitles. Anyway, you will see, it is a very instinctive hairstyle I promise. You do not need to be a hairpin expert (and I know what I am talking about).
This tutorial was just in time because John Frieda contacted me to promote the launch of their new hair range: Luxurious Volume 7 Days. To be honest, I am lucky to have lots of hair but too much sometimes. However, I wanted to test and I decided to try the Hair Conditioner and the 7 Days Volume Semi-Permanent Treatment. The product promises a natural volume so I was not scared to have x2 hair volume. These past months, my hair grew a lot and the impression of lightness after brushing it is now very short... I do not have siren hair either but it becomes rapidly a bit flat. I am sure you know what I mean… Anyway, after 2 shampoos in which I mixed both products (the Hair Conditioner and the 7 Days Volume Semi-Permanent Treatment), I noticed the difference: not the D-Day or the day after but I would say from 4 to 5 days after the application because the volume was still here! Well, we are not talking about roots detachment but my hair has a good “thickness” and it is softer. I cannot imagine the result on fine hair! However, to realize this tutorial you need a minimum of texture to have a WOW result… But also: hairpins, hair slides, a hairbrush or comb, hair spray and a headband to modernize the look (the one in the video has been bought at Claire’s). Here we are! I hope you enjoyed the video! I think I am going to experiment new hair techniques now…
By the way, if you want to play, there is a nice John Frieda giveaway until de 20th of September on their Facebook page.

HAPPY FRIDAY #76
Happy Friday guys!
“What’s going on?” told me the Danish man when I went outside dressed like this. Well, nothing, I just wanted to wear a low-cut dress. There are days like this one where I would like to try new things because I feel good and I wanted to assume my body. Here I am, walking outside, the sun is up and I think it is going to be a lovely day. In the streets, people are looking at me and I do not know if it is about the hat, the low neckline or just me smiling alone… Anyway, when I enter the metro, I instinctively hide my chest with my shawl… and I continue to cover myself until I get to the office and then, I decide to take off my shawl and act like if everything was normal. I knew people were looking at me but I decided to ignore them. I think it was fun finally but I felt like something different was happening.
The day continued and I did not really think about it. It was like I had superpowers and wore the low neckline like the V of victory, it was a bit strange: the power of clothes. Then, at night, I went to a party and met a woman with a bigger chest than mine and I told myself “stop looking at her boobs Lisa”, it was beautiful and I was hypnotized. With my smaller cleavage, I start thinking that it was a sensitive topic. Let’s go back to the beginning of this day that was finally a crash test day. During the morning, when I put my low-cut body on, I wore it because I really wanted to. However, I knew I did not live in autarky and that I will see other people… Then, I unconsciously knew I was going to expose a part of my anatomy to the world. Moreover, when I saw the reaction of my love, I said, “Indeed… but I do not care”. It made me happy. By the way, the chest is the oldest and more natural thing in the world, and during summer I am always topless and I am not questioning myself at all. Indeed, the context is different but we are still talking about boobs, everyone already saw boobs at least once…
I went outside and I covered my V neckline: a matter of context I guess. At the office, I was assuming myself because I was confident and during the night I was…here to be seen? Still do not know. More than a feminine highlighter, is the low neckline an accessory? Like “did you see my scandal red jacket?” Can we say something or not? Is it a form of respect not to say anything? To me, when I met this woman, I wanted to tell her “your low neckline is sublime”, like I would say, “your shoes are incredible”… Is it appropriated? However, if a man told you this, is he considered as a pervert? My question is: how not to see what is so visible? One day, I did a post on the blog about low necklines with big boobs and smaller chests… Nevermind, I think we just do what we want with our own body and I admire the girls who have this liberty and I would like to be as free as they are. It is crazy to see how few centimeters of skin, that we are not used to see, can push us to be more feminine!
Today I am wearing a body, pants, a cape and a hat from Urban Outfitters and shoes from Sarenza. The talented Martin from Say Cheers took these pictures at the Serres d’Auteuil in Paris…

DIY ORGANIZER BOARD[:]
Hello my little kitties!
I am back today with a nice DIY! A long time ago, I had a crush on this office organizer on the Anthropologie website but it cost around $300. I was not really convinced at that time… so I decided that I could do it myself! I found on Internet many wooden objects and I was thinking about how to put them together on this board in order to make it invisible. Sometimes, I spend so much time finding the perfect solution that I almost cannot sleep at night! Then, I decided “I am going to stick them together with some glue for wood”. However, it was a bit too easy for me…and I wanted to do a real DIY for you guys…
While doing completely something else, like Doctor House, I finally found the solution! The plastic clamp collar was the key, and believe me this little object can resolve many problems. We all need to have some in our toolbox! Now, it is time to show you the DIY of the office organizer!
Time: an afternoon
Cost: around €30
Difficulty: easy (ask for help with the drill if needed)
For this DIY, you need:
- - a wooden board
- - small wooden boxes and pots (found here)
- - drawing clips (different sizes)
- - a drill
- - some screws
- - plastic clamp collars
- - a small roller
- - paint (here some Farrow & Ball samples: Middleton pink, Nancy's Blush et Teresa) Green
- - a pen
- - adhesive tape (double sides)
- - an Ikea mirror
- - a corkboard
- - sandpaper
- - screwdriver
- - 2 door knobs
- - a chain with small links
To start, display the elements you want to fix on the wooden board and define their place. You can take a picture with your phone if you do not want to forget.
Mark the place of each element with a pen and measure the space between them with a ruler. Drill two holes in your pen pot (or more depending on the size of the elements but it always has to be an even number).
Drill the holes, put the pot at its right place and mark the holes on the wooden board. For the corkboard, on which you will pin what you want, you just have to put some adhesive tape (double sides) to fix it.
Stick the corkboard to the place you want. Then, use four screws to fix each angle in order to have nicer finishing touches! For the mirror, you can also fix it with adhesive tape (double sides).
Once the mirror and the corkboard fixed, drill the holes you previously marked on the board. Do not forget to use some sandpaper after. Indeed, it is better to sandpaper the lines you wrote on the wooden board than use an eraser because it will mark the board!
Take a plastic clamp collar and put it in the first hole of the element (from the back of the board to the front), place it in the drawing clip and then pass it through the second hole.
Tighten the plastic clamp collar and do not forget to cut it! For the door knobs, screw them behind the board.
Painting time! Paint your wooden objects in the color you prefer using a small roller to avoid traces. Then, fix it thanks to a plastic clamp collar (same as for the previous step with the drawing clip).
As I said before, you will sometimes need more than 2 holes per element and it is the case for this small box! Continue to fix your elements with plastic clamp collars (easy, isn’t it?).
To fix the office organizer board, drill two holes in the angles (not too close from the edge) and hang a chain, once again, using plastic clamp collars (so useful)! Here we are!

[:]WELCOME HOME #1
Polka dots document holder from les Soeurs Grene du Danemark, cherry XL found in Rungis in the flower section and box from Hay design.
Hello my little kitties!
I wish you a wonderful week! Today I am going to show you the first part of the “Lemonade Studio”, our own place, with a real entrance to welcome you (more to come soon…). As I told you in the previous post, having a bigger place is like taking a deep breath of fresh air for us, as if our ideas had finally enough space! Like an expanding family, we all have our room table… A revolution, and when I see the chaos I can put on my own table in few minutes, I am wondering how we did before…
It was so weird when we moved in this new place and put in place our giant Maisons du monde tables we already had in the previous office. They looked like students' desks in this empty space! This part of the office really looks like our old one: pink, black and white. It is Laure’s area, the queen of the patterns, but also the place we film the videos for Wear Lemonade. The bricks had a rusty color when we arrived and it was a bit too much like “we are in Paris but we’d rather be in Brooklyn”, too “Friends” also. I wanted to have white from the floor to the ceiling in order to emphasis on the light!
To work on the patterns, Laure needed a high table so we found this one in Ikea. These are trestles that go up and down in order not to have back pain… The chemist stool is from Maison du monde, the pink sideboard has been found on la petite brocanteuse, the architect lamps are from Lightonline (white) and Habitat (pink). About decoration, you can find the black board here and the light box here.
I also wanted to announce you that we would like to reinforce our team because we are starting a new project. We are looking for 2 trainees. It is about paid end-of-studies internships of 6 months minimum my kitties!
We are looking for a graphic artist and a designer. If you are well motivated, full of initiatives and you have an internship agreement, do not hesitate to write us!
For the designer internship, send us your resume and book at [email protected]
For the graphic artist internship, send us your resume and book at [email protected]

HAPPY FRIDAY #75
Hello my little lemons!
I was in the metro this morning and I was thinking about what I wanted to tell you today. And then, I quickly though about my way of writing and topics I already talked to you about. I would like to talk about cleavages and boobs but it has to wait a little until I found the appropriate moment… Anyway, while reading my previous posts, I have to admit that I always look so impatient. I often use sentences like “cannot wait to be there”, “cannot wait to tell you”, “cannot wait to show you”. You know what? It is so exhausting to be like that. It is also strange to prepare the next step whereas the previous one is not finished yet. I wanted to thank you because it is a long journey; I always talk to you about it, but I cannot really enjoy the good moments. It is thanks to this blog and your words that I noticed it and I now would like to calm down and control my frenetic impatience and stop being always so excited about everything (of course I will not be able to totally deny who I am).
I just want to enjoy the work that has been done when the project comes out. Finally it is mental gymnastics and training. Last time I was really living in the moment, was when I did some meditation with Head Space. I need to find at least 15 minutes in the morning to empty my mind and listen to myself.
One paragraph later, I am still so excited so I think there is some work to do… I just cannot wait to be in October, say “Yes I do” to the love of my life, go away with him for a trip, shoot the new Wear Lemonade collection and receive the Jonak shoes. So I need to calm down, life is beautiful and I have to enjoy each little moment of happiness with you!
To come back to the main topic, I would like to introduce to you my “bad student” outfit (pictures taken by the lovely Julie Perrot)! I am wearing a Monki dress, a Mademoiselle Tara coat, Falke socks, and Clarks shoes… Hair cut: Cut by Fred ;) I send you big kisses and thanks again.
