Olympia Le-Tan and other literary adventures

I spotted this on Garance Dore's blog and couldn't resist sharing. Shakespeare & Co is one of my favourite bookstores in Paris. The evening creative writing workshops in the upper floor are worth a go. My husband had the chance to be taught a few years back by the very talented Janet Skeslien Charles whose book Moonlight in Odessa is definitely worth a read.  And if you want to get your hands on one of those lovely clutch bags disguised as books, you can find them at Net-a-porter.

Rain over Roosevelt Island

Coler Goldwater Hospital, Roosevelt Island
Have you ever seen Dark water? I've always been tempted to visit the Island since then. Especially by teleferic or Roosevelt Island Tramway. See the trailer here:

Brixton Market












My first visit to Brixton market earlier this year, was a wonderful surprise. It is so close to where we live, yet I hadn't had the chance to pay it a visit. Lunch at French and Grace is highly recommended. My then fiance (now wonderful husband) and I had the Lamb and date kofte which was just right.
These images translate into my amateurish DSLR debut. Wish me luck!
