It's been a lovely week in spite of lots of rain and the return of coughs and colds :)

We have 10 days school hols here and, amongst other things have....

been to the movies ("Despicable Me" - 7/10)

spent the day with my oldest friends and our 8 children

went to a Halloween party and ate a lot of orange food

had our favourite uncle over to stay and shrieked a lot (their uncle/my brother!)

made our most successful banana cake ever (we are easily pleased!)

bought new shoes

bought new books & discovered "Swallows and Amazons" by Arthur Ransome

(it is a lovely thing when your child reads and loves something that you loved as a child too)

finally got a Buzz Lightyear costume

brushed up on our French for our trip to Paris this week-end!!!!

Yes, I am off to Paris again!

This time with my husband and our children, leaving London on the early Eurostar train on Saturday morning and arriving back late Monday night....very exciting!!

The journey door-to-door takes a little under 4 hours which is quite amazing - my son cannot wait to get on the high-speed train and go in the tunnel under the English Channel.

My husband is looking forward to the restaurants.

And my daughter is looking forward to the Eiffel Tower, seeing the pretty shops, her morning pain au raisin and a trip to Laduree. Or is that me?! She is her mother's daughter that's for sure :)

Next week it is Giveaway Week and I will have a wonderful giveaway for one lucky follower each day!!

Happy Week-end!!

Happy Halloween!!

Sizzling Silver or Gorgeous Grey....

I couldn't decide whether to choose grey or silver for my colour of choice today....so I chose both! I have always loved grey whether it's a darker shade of charcoal, a pale French grey or "stormcloud" grey (as I call it). As for silver....some days we all need a little added sparkle....

Just the most gorgeous image....I love everything about it!

Sometimes hard to remember....but so true....

A very toned Jennifer Aniston looking sparkly fabulous at the premiere of "Love Happens" last week....great dress and amazing legs....

Absolutely beautiful....those ruffles are amazing....

Ultimate rock chick Kate Moss....the camera does love that girl....I love this shot of her....

Halle Berry at the Oscars....

With limbs this long, I guess you can wear pretty much what you want....love these shoes too....

The stunning Eva Mendes....love this shade of grey....

Beautiful....

Jennifer again, glamorous in silver....she clearly doesn't spend her Sundays eating toast and ice-cream....ahem!

And neither does Charlize Theron....looking goddess-like here....

What an incredible dress....

My favourite shade of grey....

I have surprised myself by doing a post that is solely fashion! I think I have dresses and red carpets on the brain tonight.....my lovely friend Marisa is once again attending the Emmys in Los Angeles as a "seat-filler"....she will be glamorous in red and I will be quizzing her tomorrow as to who she saw and sat next to.....who sizzled and who wore what.....what a fun evening....I am hoping to catch her later on television if I can stay awake. It's a pretty busy and long day for her....I have given her strict instructions as to what she is to do if she gets within stroking distance of Kiefer, Hugh, George or Brad ;)

Happy Monday.....and thank you so much to everyone who left me kind messages after my post yesterday....
