Friday treat....lemon blueberry cake.... 
Christine Taylor.... 
Happy December!Well, it's been quite a week. Coughs, cold, germs, a few tears, you name it....but somehow we made it and the week-end is nearly here, yippee! Work somehow happened, as did school (yippee again!) and tonight I have my first Christmas party, albeit a smallish girlie one....sometimes my favourite, I have to admit :)
My friend Kim over at mimicharmante wrote a wonderful post this week entitled Women-helping-Women....it reminded me of the great blogpost that my friend JennyMac over at letshaveacocktail wrote earlier this week on "31 Days of Goodness"....you must watch this 2.5 minute video, it is amazing....girleffect.
Thank you to everyone who posted fabulous comments this week and who wished me better....it's working! Happy Week-end!
Grace Kellys white dress in To Catch A Thief...favourite dress ever...
ReplyDeleteMOTH thanks you Simone from the bottom of his drooling heart for that first image. He is an avowed back man through & through. No interest at all in boobs & legs, but when there's a little bit of back exposed, he melts into a puddle on the floor!! Glad you & the family are on the mend & you managed to get through all the week's commitments, what a trouper you are!
ReplyDeleteMillie ^_^
Now that would be a fabulous Friday - a lemon lamington and To Catch A Thief! So pleased your week has finished on the up Simone. Have a great weekend. Enjoy the party - I agree smallish girly ones are often the most fun. Amanda xx
ReplyDeleteOoh yes I'd have to agree with MOTH on the back thing, even tho I'm a girl, or maybe because I am, I do appreciate the subtle allure of a beautiful back. Glad you're all on the mend. Enjoy your girly party.xx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures. My favorite is the Christmas Anthropologie style..and the Agelina Jolie photo!
ReplyDeleteLove those Chanel platforms! Thank you so much for your too kind comments on my blog honey. I really appreciate the feedback and am so glad you enjoy my blog. I love yours too! Hope you have a great night and win the giveaway! Kori xoxo
ReplyDeleteOh the first one is gorgeous and I love the beautiful Christmas wreath to finish. Just lovely honey.
ReplyDeleteI clicked on girleffect and had to follow through straight away to their site, it really touched me. If we all do something, HUGE changes will happen.
Beautiful weekend to you my friend,
xoxo
Hope you feel better...I had to pop in to see your lovely Friday post! Happy Friday my friend.
ReplyDeleteSimone,
ReplyDeleteI'm still in awe over the first image! Stunning is an understatement! Wow!
Sorry to hear it has been a rough week....let's hope the first Christmas party will bring good cheer!
Bises,
Melissa
Hello Beautiful!!! Oh that 1st photo absolutely took my breath away. I dream of wearing a dress so stunning one day! Also, that quote that followed directly after the 1st photo completely gave me chills. That is exactly how I felt when I met my husband, and actually all over again now that we have moved to Italy. When such dramatic risks are taken, we often never regret taking the leap although it can be very frightening. Thank you so much for this beautiful and inspirational post, and I hope you have a blast at your Christmas party after all the sickness you have endured, Love!

ReplyDeleteWell, Simone, I am a glass half full, more like brimming over and ever the optimist so, I feel that you have been lucky to have got all of these ailments over and done with before Christmas!!!! ( although, I do sympathise with what you have been through this week, of course ).
ReplyDeleteFabulous friday images and, along with everyone else, including MOTH, that first image is amazing. Not many can get away with that. ...but, I want and need the Chanel little black dress.....it's perfect. Enjoy you Christmas preparations and have a wonderful weekend. XXXX

ReplyDeleteHey Simone
ReplyDeleteHope you are feeling better... I'm finally crawling out from under the workload and feeling human again..
Love your quote... I'm feeling like I've been stuck in the no change work lane for a while.. a thunderbolt could be good. I also totally agree with you on the Cary Grant issue... he's one of my favourites and has brought many moments of humour into my life...
Have a great weekend... you and the kiddies and MR BOTIB... xxx Julie
Ivanka's dress was so classically beautiful. I have a feeling we'll be seeing it for years to come. And those pink loubs...delish!
ReplyDeletePink suede Loubitans? My heart be still...
ReplyDeleteMe again, with reference to your comments to me on the Postal strikes, thankyou so much for your kind offer of help should I need it. That is so lovely of you. xx
ReplyDeleteSo glad everything is better now in your house hold!! Very good to hear. I love those Chanel shoes... so unique! Hope your first Christmas party was a blast! :)
ReplyDeleteHello again Love, thank you so much for your wonderful comment and I am so glad the quote touched you as much as it (and your recent quote!) touched me. I definitely believe the best things in life are gained by the most frightening leaps of faith and biggest sacrifices in order to accomplish something great, or to follow your passions or dreams.
ReplyDeleteI hope you are having a fantastic weekend!!! xoxoxo
