We have an addiction to Scott Schuman’s blog The Sartorialist, where he captures the beautiful people of Paris, Milan and New York,  in the most beautiful clothing and incredible light.  In his stunning new book, Scott has compiled his favourite images with insightful commentary for a delightful inside look at the fashionistas of the world. 

Our friend and ex-Cross staffer Fiona from Sydney, sent us this chart for a giggle…and we had to share it with you!how-to-get-shot-by-sartorialist3

We have had a fabulous time at the show, with so much positive feedback, and kind comments from all of our lovely guests. Everyone is loving our new ‘tote’ bag that we designed exclusively for the event. We are also giving out buttons and other goodies, so if you are in the area please stop by and say hello!

Don’t miss the MEDIA LOUNGE that we also designed for the IDSWest show. We are proud to say that Lynda Reeves, publisher of Canadian House and Home Magazine will be hosting an event in our lounge before she speaks about trends on the main stage on Saturday at 1:00pm. Here’s a look at our stunning lounge

The French Chef…Bon Appétit!

10 Feb 2009 | News

We recently devoured a delicious read and national bestseller; My Life in France by Julia Child written with Alex Prud’homme.

Julia is a delightful storyteller and recounts her days in Paris and Marseilles during the ’50’s  with excruciating detail. It’s as much of a love story as a culinary journey and you can’t help but be inspired by her passion for cooking. We just had to perfect the omelette in her honour…we are working on the fois gras panné àl’anglaise et sauté au beurre…See the 6’2” phenom in action  Julia Child making an Omelette.

Julia often refers to this bible of cookery, Larousse Gastronomique

Be sure to pick up your own copy of My Life in France and Larousse Gastronomique, both available at The Cross Decor & Design.

We can’t wait for the movie! {Update: we absoloutely LOVED the film julie & julia! Meryl Streep was incredible and lovable…we could watch it again and again!}
