Delectable Recipe: {Winter-time Vegetable Soup}

{Hello! Am finally back home from a short weekend trip to Montreal which was spent mostly in a hockey arena (nephew's tournament)! Although they lost, which meant we returned Saturday night, they played well and had a great time. Today is a beautiful, bright sunny day which started this morning with a light snowfall... this lovely recipe will be made for tonight's light supper... have a wonderful Sunday!}

Editorial Inspiration: {Poésy in}

{Hello! Hope you are well? Had a wonderful work-related weekend in Vancouver; ate in stunning restaurants, did a bit of shopping and met the stylish and adorable Sarah from Haute Design. She is more lovely than I imagined she would be! Arrived home around 2:00 a.m. this morning and can't believe I am still up. I hope you enjoy this editorial... isn't Clemence Poésy absolutely beautiful? I think her skin is gorgeous and her style classic and lovely. All the very best, xo}
