Bespoke Shoes made in Paris

I believe each woman has a little pair of shoes in mind... A special shoe you have always dreamt of, with little hope to see one day in a shop.

My ideal shoes would probably be some vintage brogues, silver, orange & purple.

Well, we can now make our wishes come true! There is a company in France that offer to design your dream shoes: its name is Dessine moi un soulier (what a lovely name, a reference to the famous Little Prince) and they are based in Paris.

From these high heels shoes matching your wedding dress to golden ballerinas, you now have the possibility to create your own very unique, truly personal shoes.
 
You can start designing your perfect chaussures on the website of Dessine-moi un soulier or meet Juliette and Alma in their showroom in the 9th arrondissement of Paris.

Ok, let's speak about the nitty gritty: money! You are looking at a £200-300 for a pair of shoes. This is the price to pay to have something that nobody else will have! It is 100% French made (in case you feel like supporting our local economy) and the delivery time between 4 and 6 weeks.

Naked Sponge Cakes - The New Fashion

I love naked cakes. I think the reason why they are so popular nowadays is because people are willing to have authentic weddings with high quality products and personalised designs, rather than traditional bling wedding cakes.

Just top up your naked cake with berries, small or big flowers, herbs, buds fruits or nuts: et voila...perfection is achieved!

Naked cakes are genuine and beautiful. Simple yet elegant.

Naked cakes are telling you: "I know I'm yummy looking and I don t need to do any more".
No show off, no outrageous make up. Just gorgeous nudity.
 
Here is a selection of naked cakes I find absolutely superb.

Flower Lollipops

A pretty and yummy DIY idea for a wedding favour or just for a nice afternoon with friends and children...some home-made flower lollipops!

Heather at Sprinkle Bakes used some pansy flowers but of course you could use any edible flowers: roses, marigolds, bergamot, mint, lavender...

The receipe is here and is quick to realise...the only difficulty being to find the edible (and organic) flowers!! I have ordered mine on the internet and I'll post some photos once I have received them!
