One cool, must-have bracelet on my list…..

Christmas + Day 3…a very in-active afternoon which felt really good….The boys are watching a DVD (after going to bed at 8am today that’s all they can manage…), Mila and Lily are playing on the computer, Elodie is sewing a blouse for Lily supervised by her ‘sewing’ Jedi (our mum) while I was looking for inspiration to decorate Mila’s bedroom in our new family house in London.I’m looking at the pics I took over the past few days…so many happy moments…Christophe offered a beautiful La Trop bag and a leather wrist wrap by Clare Vivier to Bodie and after seeing this gorgeous bracelet on her, I know now that I will treat myself to one when we go back to work. When the stock arrived, they were so beautifully wrapped that I didn’t dare to unwrap one in case I would do a crappy job to put it back but this bracelet is looking even more gorgeous in reality than on the photo. http://feeds.feedburner.com/blogspot/UxVs

Joyeux Noel et bonne annee

The last four weeks have been mental at the warehouse, we’ve been inundated by orders, more than we expected…and as a consequence we had to work from 8am until 11pm most days and weekends. I can’t tell you how exhausted I was….As soon as we closed BODIE and FOU for the holidays on Tuesday, I rushed home, gift-wrapped a few more presents and packed my bag as we were up the day after at 4am to catch our flight to France to spend the holidays with the family….I finally managed to have a good night sleep and slightly recovered but the last thing I feel doing is spending more time on my computer so I just wanted to wish you all a fabulous Christmas with your family.I hope you get the chance to rest and have some quality time with the people you love!Thank you for all your lovely comments, contributions and inspirationLots of lovexoxoKarineMontage from the fabulous sfgirlbybay http://feeds.feedburner.com/blogspot/UxVs

Very excited to be in Harper’s Bazaar

Published by BODIE and FOU Style Blog

Well this was in the October issue but that how quick I am!The truth is that things have been so busy that I haven’t had a chance to check all our press but yesterday I got an email from Mia-Louise, the talented designer of these beautiful, handmade prints who was over the moon and very grateful that we managed to get her work featured in Harper’s Bazaar. Personally I would like to thank Emma Love who put this Mono Mania featured together. Don’t you love Harper’s Bazaar!? I wish I had copy of this issue :-( I remember perfectly when Mia-Louise and I started working together. She contacted me to see if I was interested in stocking her prints on B&F and one look at them and I was like……Hellooo!! Yeah! I just thought they were really beautiful and unique. We got them featured first in The Independent around October 2 years ago and gosh…the response was absolutely amazing. I think we were selling something like 40 a week….I was emailing Mia-Louise almost every day …
