Have a good Sunday !

Fall is coming and I love this season: light is beautiful, the sun is still shining meanwhile the temperatures get a bit chill, and I always feel full of energy for this new part of the year.
I am currently working hard on my own project I can't wait to talk to you about, but at the moment here are the few things that are inspiring me.

Have a good Sunday !

This first week of august feels more calm than usual and it has been a good thing as I don't feel tired all day long. I took advantage of it to work on personal project I can't wait to set up and I also made a come back on my kitchen ! This past week has been full of yummy things: home-made pavlova, brushettas and this amazing banana-strawberry-coconut-chia seeds bread.

Have a good Sunday !

Summer, and above all august, is the high season for me at work and I'm currently working 7 days a week, from 10 a.m to 9 p.m. No need to say that even if I still have a lot of ideas for DIYs and food recipes it's hard to bring them into life at the moment.
Anyway, I am doing by best to keep that Sunday moment quite regular (even if I miss last week one) as  it's your favorite post (and mine too).

I hope you are all having a wonderful summer time !

Have a good Sunday !

Summer is definitely here and the blog is going to slow down: I want to enjoy every single minutes of  my spare time sunbathing, reading, chilling, having fun with friends, but not on my computer ! So I will still be there, but less often than usual.
Meanwhile, I am still compiling my inspirations of the week and I think today is one of my favorite Sunday post: full of beautiful things and discoveries !

Have a good Sunday !

High season is always a tough part of the job and even if we are only half July I already feel exhausted.
To help remaining ok up to the end of august (and at least to the end of the day) I am trying the eat as healthy as I can using full of vitamins products such as this yummy smoothie for breakfast ! Served with warm slices of bread with butter and maple sirup ... yum !

Have a good Sunday !

Once in a while we are having breakfast in bed. It's the perfect moment to have a break from everything and spend some relaxing time together.
As July and August are going to be full of work and we won't have to opportunity to take any day off before September, organizing a breakfast in bed this week was essential !

Have a good Sunday !

Chocolate & spices brioches.

Makes 14:

500 gr flour

85 gr sugar

40 gr cocoa powder

1 packet dry yeast

2 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp cardamom

1/2 tsp nut meg shredded

50 gr butter

280 ml milk + extra for spreading

1 egg

60 gr chocolate chip

* Warm up the milk and mix the yeast in it. Set aside for 10 minutes or until foamy.
* Mix together the dry ingredients (flour, sugar, cocoa powder and spices).
* Add the milk and egg. Mix well to combine and add the chocolate chip.
* Knead few minutes, the dough has to be moist but non-sticky.
* Cover with a linen and allow to double size (takes 1 hour).
Tips & tricks:: before starting making the dough preheat your oven on 50°C and turn it off 2 minutes before putting the dough in it: it will be hot enough to help the dough rising but not too much to dry it out. As I'm quite impatient and don't like waiting for my dough to rise, I do this step the nigh before and let it rise the whole night so I just have to bake the brioches in the morning !

* Once the dough has risen take it out from the oven and preheat on 200°C.
* Knead the dough for 2 or 3 minutes on a lightly floured area.
* Divide the dough into 14 pieces and roll them up into small balls and spread some milk on the top using a baking brush.
* Place them on a baking tray covered with baking paper and bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until a stick comes out clear.
* As these brioches are not really sweet, generously spread some agave or maple sirup on the brioches when still hot or allow to cool down before spreading some icing sugar on top.

To make it short, my brother is attending his internship into a real estate agency whose headquarters are currently organizing an Instagram contest for their intern. 

As you might guessed the winning picture will be the one with the most "like" so if you have an Instagram account and 1 spare minute to give a hand to him it would be awesome ! Here is the account @2bi3 and the picture is the one you can see above.

A huge thank you for your help <3 !!!

It might sounds weird, above all for people that live in big cities, but I always feel revitalized when I come back from a trip in Paris. I love how this city is full of energy and creativity and all of that inspire me so much, but I will talk about it longer this week through a pics review of my 3 days out there.
Hope you are having a wonderful week-end !

Have a good Sunday !

It feels like its the monsoon here, I'm expected to stumbled onto Noe and its arch every seconds and I'm more than excited about beeing in Paris soon to find some sun !
Meanwhile I am baking cornbread that I ate with tones of Nutella (which totally contrast with my food post of the week) and I'm taking the best of the rare sunny spell we have.

Hope you are all having a wonderful time, no matter of the sun !

King Breakfast :: Food

I am one of those breakfast lovers that would be able to spend their day sipping a cup of tea while enjoying some morning food mainly because you can eat whatever you want for breakfast.
And I'm having so much fun changing everyday, according to my mood.

Have a good Sunday !

These 2 day off were so relaxing I decided staying away from my computer the whole week. It's good sometimes to have a break from it and to focus on other simple things such as reading a good book or magazine instead of writing blog post.
Well, I feel now completely relax and ready for new blogging adventures in fashion, DIY and food !
Speaking about it, I've made such an amazing granola this week I had to share it with you. I found out that a really simple ingredient can change everything: coconut oil. It gives the granola such a good taste ! See bellow for the recipe and other inspirations of the week.

Have a good Sunday !

Paris is coming soon and I can't wait to find my favorites places back, such as Starbuck's. Nothing exciting about it in fact but I don't know why I love their so-far-too-dry scones. Above all when served with freshly squeezed orange juice...
But I was too impatient to wait 2 more weeks so I made some myself. No need to say they were much more better, but something was missing anyway. My name on my cup maybe?

Hope you're enjoying your week-end so far, mine starts tonight and I can't wait to take 2 days off at Cap Ferret, a lovely and wild place not far from when I live but so different as well. Don't forget to follow my adventures over there on Instagram @une_touche_de_rose !

I am writing this post wearing my UGG, my casual wool sweater while sipping a warm cup of tea. Feels like we are back in February and honestly and this terrible weather totally throw me off balance: I realized yesterday morning we were saturday and that nothing was planned for this sunday morning breakfast post !
Luckily I had some brioche left and I managed to make some delicious and soft french toast with that !

Meanwhile, here are all the little beauty, jewels, DIY, home decoration and others little things that are currently inspiring me.

Hope you are all having a wonderful week-end !

I wanted to make a ricotta pie since a while and I decided this week-end was the time to give it a try. I filled it with (tones of) chocolate chips and topped it with fresh strawberries & raspberries and maple sirup.
Honestly? It was such a decadent breakfast ! The perfect balance between sweetness, fluffy and fruity tastes, I could have eaten the whole pie. Easily...

Find below the recipe and all that inspired me this week.
What are your plans for this week-end? Hope you are having a lot of fun !

I wanted to try something new this week-end and almond milk came in my mind. I wanted to make my own for a while so I took the advantage of having anything but some almond powder left in my kitchen shelves to give it a try.

I wasn't sure about what to except and have been surprise to see how sweet and delicate it taste ! It matches perfectly with some orange flower water into a milk shake, and I used the pureed almond left from the almond milk filtered to make delicious and soft small cakes.

Meanwhile, here are the latest things that inspired me this week.

Hope you are all having a wonderful week-end !

P.S: I am taking part of my first fashion bloggeur contest tomorrow and I will need your help guys... stay tuned !

I bought something this week I am not used to eat at all: jam. And the good surprise was it was a really good one, not too sweet and very tasty. So it was an evidence I had to pair it with freshly baked home-made muffins (served warm) to make the perfect breakfast ever !

Enjoy it with the new BB Detox tea by Kusmi Tea, some sparkling shoes, amazing necklace and a ridiculously easy and beautiful DIY and I am pretty sure you will get the key to spend a perfect Sunday Morning !
