Assouline

If you, like me, is a fan of bookstores, besides Taschen you have got to know about the French bookstore/publisher Assouline.
Specializing in coffee table books and luxury books, the bookstore has a super charming atmosphere and prices that suit all pockets.
Besides the incredible books you will also find some perfect items that will add more style to your personal library such as leather chairs, paper weights, candles and notebooks.
Assouline has stores in Paris, New York, Mexico City, London among other countries.

Cheers!

This week's drink is very easy and tasty: Kir Royale
20ml creme de cassis (blackcurrant liqueur)
100ml sparkling wine (brut)
cherry (to garnish)
In a flute, pour the creme de cassis, top it up with the sparkling wine and garnish it with the cherry.

Kir Royale is a variation from Kir which is made with white wine instead of sparkling and it is served in a chilled wine glass.

Two excellent options to enjoy your weekend!

Good ideia!

Take an old frame and turn it into a beautiful tray.
To give a cool touch to it, paint the frame in a beautiful color and place a piece of wrapping or wall paper in the photo space. On top, you can display a small vase, perfums, jewelry, sweets etc.. It is beautiful if placed in your bedroom, living room or even the bathroom.

In love!

Silicone collapsible coffee filter holder by William Bounds. It is a great option when you want to drink just a simple, fresh and hot cup of coffee without having to waste too much time or too much ground coffee.

The Tasting Kitchen Restaurant
