Bree and Barham had a rustic and beautiful wedding in Washington and I simply love what they decided to do about the cake. I’m sure it must be super hard to choose the perfect wedding cake and topper, so… why not have multiple cakes and toppers at the same party?
You know it’s going to be a great afternoon when you have the smell of chocolate chunk muffins all over the house. This yummy-recipe could only have come from Bakerella. \o/
This is one of my favorite ways to eat muffins: with lots of amazing jam. Groseilles Framboisées from Bonne Maman is a favorite.
I always thought that the book Breakfast at Tiffany’s and its film adaptation were two completely different works of art and, at some level, even opposite. Truman Capote’s book is deliciously immoral, sometimes cruel and has a heartbreaking ending. The movie is romantic, a bit conservative and has the typical Hollywood happy ending. I read the book imagining Marilyn Monroe, the actress who Capote really wanted to see playing Holly Golightly, but I understand that Audrey Hepburn fits perfectly the Holly imagined by Hollywood. Each one – the book and film – has its individual beauty. But they are definitely two distinct works.
I like this scene in which Holly sings and plays the guitar on the fire escape outside her apartment window. The song Moon River, by Henry Mancini and Johnny Mercer, was tailored to Hepburn’s limited vocal range. Rumor has it that a Paramount executive hated the song and wanted to take it out of the movie at all costs. Audrey replied to the suggestion by saying: “Over my dead body!“. Moon River ended up winning the Oscar for best original song in 1961.
This looks like a super tiny house, doesn’t it? But check out the amazing interiors, created by Japanese architect Kota Mizuishi.
Amazing, isn’t? Residents are husband and wife and a little girl. This project makes me think that smaller living spaces can also be very airy and charming. I’d love to live in this house!
