{Hello! Already Wednesday (late) and many, many endless hours of french language training have left my brain mush this week. On the bright side, I am absolutely thrilled to have broken the 1000th follower mark! I cannot express how appreciative I am for all of you stopping by and supporting me. I'm not sure how much blogging will get done during my training, but I will try... in the meantime, take care and if you are looking for further inspiration from Simply Seductive, drop by here.}

{have been neglecting my collection of black and white photography, so was thrilled to find a wonderful tumblr that had some very inspirational images... then decided to add some lovely images of flowers... enjoy. (p.s. who will be my 1000th follower?)}

{If you have been reading this blog long enough, you will know that I prefer simplicity and clean lines, with touches of elegance and sophistication rather than opulence through and through or an overly interior designed home. This home reflects my style perfectly. Some elements that are not that evident: a sliding door to separate the hallway to the bedroom from the open common spaces and continuity of floating shelves throughout (especially love how the pillar includes a floating shelf to display artwork).}
{Hello dear readers! Have been MIA lately, but I have a good excuse... I started a full-time language training course in french on Monday, yes french and as a result I am a bit exhausted! I live in Québec, but unfortunately the french I acquired over the years "que j'ai acquis sans études formelle" which I acquired without formal training is in need of desperate repair. On this, my second day of french language training, I stumbled upon this food blog which coincidentally featured this lovely parisienne tea salon where one can indulge in a wonderfully delicious "chocolat chaud". Wouldn't such a chocolat chaud while studying french in Paris be ideal?}
