If you were to ask me if I'd ever had the bad luck to
miss my daily cocktail, I'd have to say that I doubt it; where certain
things are concerned, I plan ahead.

There are two things i really find very stylish and glamorous and, since i cannot have them on a daily base (like good old Bunuel, who's films i adore), at least i must have them from time to time. One is teatime and the other is coctail hour.
May i introduce: This is the new "in" coctail here in europe this summer, it's called "HUGO", and it's wonderful fresh and light. You take a little bit of elderflower-syrup, fill it up with half champagne and half water, add some lime juice, some fresh mint leaves and a few ice cubes or crushed ice. Just the right thing for people like me, whoi sometimes like a little "kick" but without so much alcohol - give it a try on a nice summer evening!

P.S:: Surrounding it, you get glimpses of the colorful mess in my studio – recognise the little shoe-painting? Hope your week is rolling on nicely my lovelies, and that you get to enjoy the best of august!
