So, I couldn’t sleep again. I was up all night reading, browsing the web and came across a FABULOUS new blog called Mrs. Lilien. And, fabulous is really an understatement. This blog is phenomenal, totally-over-the-top amazing. Here are some of my favorite posts…
In honor of Valentine’s Day, Mrs. McNaughty…

My third and final post of the Taschen books: London. This city holds a special place in my heart, and this book brought back a lot of wonderful memories.
I’ve been dreaming of a Parisian vacation for far too long now – this only makes me want to go more…
I’ve died and gone to book heaven. Yesterday I discovered Taschen’s city books at Anthro – New York, Paris and London. With the New York book it’s as though someone compiled all my favorite places – now I just can’t wait to check out all the places they recommend in Paris and London.
So, the next three [...]
Yes, it’s a crazy name, but this book is AMAZING! I haven’t finished it yet, but I’m loving every word. The story is told through a collection of letters – such a great idea. I’m actually trying to read it slowly so I can enjoy it longer!
The other day I asked, what color are you? Honestly, what color are you? There is a fabulous book called Colorstrology that identifies what color you are by your birthday. I got it as a gift a few years ago and it’s been so fun to hear all about the different colors and personalities associated [...]
This spring Martha Stewart launched her newest book, The Encyclopedia of Crafts. It’s full of clever ideas, but for some reason I was particularly inspired by the idea of glass etching. You can find the how-to instructions in the book or on the Martha Stewart site.
I think I might give away etched mason jars full [...]
I have to admit, Julie and Julia is no longer on my nightstand, it’s on my book shelf. I read it cover-to-cover in twelve hours yesterday. (I’m a big dork, I know.) When I saw the movie last week I immediately bought the book, but I never imagined I would love it as much as [...]
After much anticipation, I finally saw Julie and Julia tonight, and every minute was just as delicious as I anticipated it would be. Meryl Streep was fabulous as always, and Amy Adams and Stanley Tucci were both absolutely delightful.
It comes as no surprise that I have already ordered Julie Powell’s book online and look forward [...]
I’ve been studying French life and culture for years. I’m not really sure when or how the obsession started, but I just can’t stop. I’ve read stacks of books including Entre Nous (check out my previous post), French Lessons, A Year in Provence, All You Need to Be Impossibly French; I’ve watched Amelie and A Good Year on [...]
