Happy Tuesday! Hope it’s a cheerful one…

Astrantia

Today is the day I need all the talented floral designers who read Botanical Brouhaha to speak up…because I’ve never used Astrantia and know nothing about it…but love the texture it adds to a bouquet. So, please, if you’ve worked with Astrantia, share what you know…

Let’s look at a few bouquets…

Hope someone can share some “real world” designing experience with Astrantia…how to condition the stems…how long the flower lasts in bouquets and in vases…what months the flower is in season and available for purchase…

Hope you have a great Labor Day!

high in the sky

This was me today. Albeit far less interesting, much more frustrating and minus the swanky car. Thank the lord I'm flying to Austin tomorrow and don't have to deal with the car for a bit! And on that note, I'll be high in the sky for most of tomorrow and then...AUSTIN! Happy weekend ladies and gents.

First off I must mention how absolutely, positively horrendous the Salt Water Flush is. I would scream it from the mountaintops if I could. Last night I was horribly sick, more than I've been in quite some time. As I've fasted before on my own accord, I can confidently say what happened last night was not my body detoxing, but was in fact my body reacting quite badly to the flush. Enough said. Moving on. Never again!

On a separate and more blog related note, I wanted to share one of my fashion crushes, Charlotte Gainsbourg. Her style is effortlessly chic, bouncing back and forth between ultra casual and extraordinarily sexy. Somehow she throws on a pair of jeans and a tshirt, and lo and behold I want everything she has on. How is it so many French women are blessed with this gift?





Not only is Gainsbourg super stylish and quite talented in the acting realm, she's got a beautiful voice. My favorite off of 5:55, an album composed mostly by Air. I know quite a few of my recent posts have been music related, so I hope you're not getting sick of it.
