So I am not going to lie, since my knee surgery on Tuesday, I’ve been hanging out…well, in my pajamas – you heard me right, ladies and gentlemen.And I am not ashamed of it. Not even a little. And so I thought – why not carry on throughout the weekend and make a little pajama party out of it? we could stop forgetting we’re grown ups for a minute, forget about all our obligations, and just hang out in our pajamas, watch some movies, have a little pillow fight. Just like when we were little. So, who’s with me? 
1. Oysho has a great selection of super comfy pants for lounging. And they are super cute too!
2. How pretty is this cat sleeping mask by Naomilingerie?! I don’t use one…but this sure makes me wish I did!!!
3. Tons of pillows to lounge around….or for a pillow fight! Love these fun pillows by Thomas Paul.
4. And if you’re looking more pretty PJs and robes, Eberjey also has some really pretty things – like this India shortie for example.
5. You can have a proper girls night sleepover without bringing some nailpolish – it’s not secret that Essie is my favorite kind!
6. And of course, a little hair tutorial…you’ll probably need to do some dammage control after that pillow fight hehe:) How about this gorgeous Maiden twist hair tutorial by A Beautiful Mess?

You’ve probably noticed by now that I usually tend to gravitate toward Scandinavian-looking furniture with very clean lines when it comes to furniture. I’ll blame it on years having no money and ended up at IKEA every time we had to furnish our home But there’s the bohemian part of me that still shows up every now and then, and I almost have a heat attack when coming across the gorgeous homewares by The Family Love Tree.
Such gorgeous details in their bedheads and chairs, such vibrant colors in their quilts and cushion. Designer Katie Graham from Melbournedrew inspiration for the Indonesian culture to create the perfect objects for a simple, joyful and colorful home. Bohemian perfection I will call that…now, if only they sold in the US and Europe in addition to their Australian shop!

So do you remember how on Monday I told you guys that I was supposed to get the results of my MRI on Tuesday to know what’s wrong with knee? Well, turns out I have a (crazy) good and (crazy) fast doctor…and I actually ended up having the actual surgery yesterday! Everything went well, but very very fast and it’s been a crazy couple of days, so I’ve decided to take a little time off today to catch my breath and get a lot of rest….so I can move mountains on this little blog once I feel better 
Hope you’re having a great week, friends!

And I had to pair it with this little beauty of a cake by My Little Fabric.
I mean, how gorgeous is it? If I had it in my kitchen, I probably couldn’t even touch it because I’d feel guilty to eat something so pretty. But yeah, who am I kidding…..I’d eat it anyway and I’m sure I’d find a way to deal with my guilt alright If you’ve never had a charlotte cake before….YOU MUST! They are filled with this soft and delicious mousse, and are the lightest of little cakes. Click here to take a look at My Little Fabric yummy raspberry version of the cake!

I’ve been loving the ombre trend that’s been going on for a while – especially ombre in the warm shades of coral, orange, and red, it’s like a sunset. And boy, do I love sunsets! Hope you all had a wonderful weekend by the way?! For my part, I spent most of my time in bed – I injured my knee last week and am waiting for the results of my MRI to see if I’ll be heading out for surgery next week. Finding out tomorrow, so fingers crossed!

We like to dance in our family. We do it almost every night, once we all find each other in the comfort of our little home after a long day of working and playing.
Back in the days I used to salsa dance, and I’d get the biggest high getting my mind lost in the music and my feet lost in the steps. But it’s a complete different kind of a high when I dance with my hubby and my little girls. We move our legs and we shake our little booties and throw our arms up in the air. We all look silly really, but who cares, because none of us is here to win a dance contest. In the end, it’s not really about the dancing, but about the togetherness. We dance together like others hug and kiss. Dancing together is our way to say I love you, and I can’t believe how lucky I am to have you in my life.
So this weekend we’ll dance - oh will we dance! In the living room. In the kitchen. In the bathroom for all I care. My little girls will do silly moves with their daddy. And I will scoop them up and dance, sandwiched between their tiny little bodies. And we’ll make that big bundle of love twirl and twirl around until we’re too dizzy to stand. And when my little girls grow up and they have little ones of their own, I hope they remember those happy moments, and I hope they throw a hell of a party in their own kitchen. And of course, I sure hope to be invited
That being said, well, can we say that there’s nothing that says party in the kitchen like a little touch of neon?! I don’t know about you, but neon just makes me want to grab my disco shoes ! So here’s a little inspiration:
1. How fun are these Jake chairs by Koskela?| 2. I love this neon pink deer antlers tea towel by Olwein.| 3. Lime green colander. Bright and happy! | 4. Pretty little Orange tea for one brewing set at Poketo. | 5. I can’t get over how pretty these Neon pink salad bowls by Wind & Willow are, via The Foundary.| 6. Upcycled natural & neon pink basket by Find Your Happy – perfect to hold your wooden spoons! | 7. Great DIY neon classic pottery by Shop Sweet Things.
And if you need even for incentive to get dancing in the kitchen, check out these new modular tiles by IXXI. Happy mood -and feet- guaranteed! Via Poppytalk.

Do you remember, when you were little, and the circus arrived in town? My siblings and I could barely contain our excitement looking at those colorful posters that told us that the circus would be there soon. I lived in a small village in Western France, waaaaay out in the countryside, so we never had any big circus in town – most of them had a camel and two lamas tops,haha . But it didn’t matter, because entering that dark tent and waiting for the clowns to step in was just magical. A few months ago I read Water for Elephants (so good!), and it got my little grown-up head spinning about the circus. I can’t wait for my little girls to be old enough so they too can step in this wonderful universe. How about you, any fun circus memories from when you were a child?
