I hope everyone had a fabulous week! The weekend is among us and I am looking forward to relaxing a bit after a very busy week.
Couture Cocktails
Back in May, T and I went to NYC for our 15 year anniversary celebration. One of our favourite restaurants is Balthazar. The food, the drinks.. everything is complete perfection so when I found this recipe online I had to share it with you.
According to legend, Chambord originated in France during the reign of Louis XIV.
Balthazar French Martini
1 ounce chilled vodka
1 ounce pineapple juice
1/3 ounce Chambord
Ice cubes
In a cocktail shaker, combine the vodka, pineapple juice, Chambord and ice cubes.
Shake vigorously to produce a frothy head and strain into a chilled martini glass. Serve straight up. Makes 1 martini.

Les Jeans de Chanel
On September 8th, Chanel will debut it’s denim-inspired nail lacquer range, Les Jeans De Chanel, in honour of Fashion’s Night Out. The highly-anticipated nail collection created exclusively by Peter Philips, Creative Director of Chanel Makeup, can be found at selected boutiques and chanel.com.
I hope to pick up Coco Blue and Blue Rebel. Do you plan to purchase any of these beauties?
Wishing you a most beautiful weekend! xoxo, B
