"Many people are parents, and many parents are thirsty. Yet too many parents allow their infant sons and daughters to lie about idly: napping, drinking milk, and whatnot. Why not put them to work? Observe how tots enjoy the shapes and colors, all the while learning how to mix a variety of basic cocktails. Thanks, Baby!"
"Many people are parents, and many parents get hungry. It's time to show those infants how to concoct a simple breakfast! This instructional board book teaches precious little angels to be useful, at long last. It's a delicious way to start the day. Thanks, Baby!"
"Are you a parent? Have your finances become a chore? Perhaps you should hand over those onerous fiscal responsibilities to someone with a little more time on their hands: your child. Let them wait in line at the bank. What else have they got to do? Thanks, Baby!"

Irène (Audrey Tautou) loves nice things and loves to have wealthy men pay for them. One night, she mistakes Jean (Gad Elmaleh), a poor bartender, for a potential client and spends the night with him. The next morning, Irène realizes her mistake and leaves, but poor Jean is smitten with her. Later, when a rich dowager mistakes Jean for a veteran gigolo, Irène agrees to tutor him in the art of fleecing wealthy lovers.

In 1939 London, Miss Guinevere Pettigrew (Frances McDormand) is a middle-aged governess who finds herself once again unfairly dismissed from her job. Without so much as severance pay, Miss Pettigrew realizes that she must – for the first time in two decades – seize the day. This she does, by intercepting an employment assignment outside of her comfort level – as “social secretary.” Arriving at a penthouse apartment for the interview, Miss Pettigrew is catapulted into the glamorous world and dizzying social whirl of an American actress and singer, Delysia Lafosse (Amy Adams).

No words for how much I love my Temple St. Clair Pendant
(Only really wonderful things have happened to me since I've had it.)
I first laid eyes upon a Joanna Louca bag when (nearly) buying an adorable elephant print wrap dress by Eva Franco at Dear Fieldbinder this weekend (before Andrea staged wrap dress "intervention" Me: "WHATever!")
And now I can't stop thinking about it.
Heart beats madly, face flushed, palms sweaty. Wildly in love.
Going back to buy it and you can't stop me.
