J Crew

Did you know that there is a J Crew at McArthur Mall in Norfolk, Virginia? Well there is and they always have a big sale going. I was there the other day and I could not believe the things they had on sale. Needless to say,  I purchased a few things. I didn't see this little sweater but it sure is cute.

My Garden

I live in a condo so I have to follow all kinds of rules about the appearence in the front. I go wild in the back yard . Here is a small look into my back yard. There is ivy growing up the wall, wisteria growing overhead and a small flower garden futher back. I always plant lavender, rose, magenta, pink and interresting green flowers. I love digging in the dirt.

Laduree

If you haven't had a macaroon from Laduree, I feel bad for you. Laduree is the first place I hit when I go to Paris. The Laduree on Le Champs-Elyees is the biggest and my favorite. It has a restaurant where you can have lunch or dinner and is open until 11:30. The whole place is very art nouveau and you feel like you have gone back in time . I love the pistachio, raspberry, chocolate macaroons the best. I hope you get to go there one day soon, I hope I go there really soon
