Subtle

JULY 11, 2017

Hello everyone! I am very happy to say that I am finally on holidays! Maxime and I planned some getaways in the following weeks, but for now, I'm happy to stay home and catch up with some personal projects, including the blog (have you noticed the design changes here on MAXCE? ^^). Strangely enough, as I am rediscovering the pleasure of blogging, I feel like everyone else is taking a break from their site and social medias, especially Instagram these days...Do you guys feel the same? Anyways, I am happy to have time to share more with you! 

Today's outfit was a festive one I wore for a lunch at the restaurant. I wanted to play with the unique patterns and textures of this pleated top, this fringed tweed skirt with its golden threading  and the amazing woven leather of this bag. I think that these subtle details are really interesting worn together, I hope you like them as well!

DIY straw bag

JULY 03, 2017

It's been quite a while since the latest DIY! I'm quite sure you couldn't miss the straw baskets and bags trend that has been taking over these past weeks. Well, I must say they have everything to please, fun shapes, relaxed feel, interesting textures... I already own 2, but I was looking for something really unique and original. And as I was shopping for plaster and paint in an hardware store, I stumbled upon this ah-may-zing woven rattan roll and the crazy idea came immediately to use it as a material for a super original straw clutch! I actually made two other clutches as there was still some leftover woven rattan. So I am very happy to say that if you really don't feel like doing this yourself, I will be selling the two others on my e-shop (here)! But you can also just follow the steps ;) Please do share if you liked!

Flowers, salmon and feta pasta

JULY 01, 2017

Finally, a new recipe! I'm afraid that lately, being a kitchen creative has definitely not been one of my priorities. To be perfectly honest, I mostly tended to eat simple and quick to prepare meals. But has the work charge decreases as we reach the end of that school year, I try to get back to pleasure eating! This time, I wanted to associate some fresh summery flavors like lemon and feta cheese with edible flowers I find always so interesting to cook with - it has some surprising peppery taste -, in a super easy to make yet quite refined recipe! I hope you will like it, please send me pictures if you try it at home! #Maxcecuisine
