Spooky Friday




As I am writing this I am a witch. My colleagues are a dalmatian, scary clowns, arab sheikh, monster and austin powers. There are spider webs all around and all kind of scary creatures. So as you get the idea we are in a full Halloween mood. Its been crazy here. There were long ques in front of costume shops. There is a total Halloween madness in town. But its very entertaining at the same time.

So have a spooky, scary, crazy Halloween!

Pumpkin







If you still haven't heard, here are the big news: the autumn is here :) And i think best side of it is getting cozy :) and of course the pumpkins...

Different sizes, different shapes... But a great sweet taste to remind the joy of the coming season. Nowadays I am thinking of stocking some pumpkins as it get harder to find it during the winter. And of course we need one to make Jack-o-Lantern :)

Pinky French Friday





I am not going to France; I just have been keeping these images since the middle of the week thinking this glamorousness would only suit to Friday. Although its a doubt how one would survive the week in full glamour is unkown to me; but Friday sounds HEAVEN after a long week full of important decisions and early wake ups.

This week is the bank holiday, but won't do any effect on me since I'll be working (still you never know). But if I could, only if I could, Paris would be a great getaway. Hopefully some of you will do something woth telling later on. Have a great weekend!

Hurrayy!!! Its Friday!



I am tired. Very tired. I am happy that today is Friday. I am still sleepy, so try to ignore my soulless post. I was running around the whole week. Given some choices, put in the a middle of a dilemma. 

Just enjoy it; no need to say much for Friday anyway.

Ladurée


I really had nothing for macaroons. In fact I thought they were nothing special until I had a French friend recently. We went to the luxury hall of a famous shop here to buy "Laduree" macaroons for her boyfriend's birthday. The shop was colorful, very pastel, just the way I like it. The French design and touch was very obvious in the shop. It had me when I stood there for couple of minutes. Then we left the shop. Couple of days passed. As I was walking down from the this luxury shop everyday, Laduree was always in my mind. Then when I got my paycheck I thougt it would be a treat. So I went into the shop and got 3 piece of macaroons in Chocolate(of course), Caramel and Raspberry flavours. It was in a very chic box (which is now a piece of decoration for my kitchen :)

Went home with this little box and had my first bite. It was heaven. I assure you I am not French or I don't work for Laduree. I am not advertising for them. But the taste was aamzing and I never had such a taste before. Now once in a while I go there to buy myself just one macaroon, if only I believe I deserve it :) So If you ever saw the shop, if you have a friend going to France or somewhere she/he can find Laduree, ask from them to bring you some macroons. Believe me, you'll love it!

Friday the Best Day


I can't wait for weekend to start. I am totally exhausted. Its been a busy weekend. Last night I had an unplanned dinner party. Getting up at 6.30 is not helping either. So I am wishing to sleep as much as I can tomorrow morning. And tomorrow is pampering day for me (don't you think I deserve it by now?). So I am hoping for a long and relaxing weekend. What more I am hoping is to make the weekeds three days including the fancy, happy, gorgeous fridays :)

Friday yay yay!




Do I need to say much? Should we just stop and enjoy the joy Friday brings? I guess I kinda missed the longing for Friday that you only feel when working :) 

 Last night I had to do some baking as we announced the Friday lunches to be sharing what each other cooks/bakes at work. I brought chocolate cake; it always wins over anything :) So I am planning a relaxing weekend although we have a farewell party, grocery shopping and maybe a tiny little bit shopping for myself to do. Did you make any plans? Any interesting activities there?
