Je veux voir le film Coco Avant Chanel. Alors, est-ce que quelqu’un sait quand ce film sort-il aux Etats-Unis?
Ok, that’s my french practice for the day. {I confess, I cheated and asked my friend if my grammar was correct, which it was not! “Sait” not “sais.” Merci, Alan!} Really though, has anyone heard of a release date for this film here, or shall I just fly to France to see it?
In the meantime, my beauties, you can watch more Audrey Tatou goodness listed below. Two of my favorites, just for you. {Please note, that if you are going to read my blog, it is highly recommended that you see these two films. Kinda like prerequisite courses in college…} Enjoy!

Hi, my name is Ms. Jenn, and I’m a book-a-holic. Bookstores are my happy place. Old, beautiful libraries are heaven! Although, I never check books out of the library, because I absolutely SUCK at returning them. I really need to join bookswim, and I’d rather have a Kindle and a gift certificate to download tons of books, than a pair of Loboutin’s. {However, if anyone would like to send me a pair, I’m a size 37.5 and I prefer round-toe and very high.}
“So what, who gives a flying f*?”, you say… Well, I’m in desperate need of bookcases to store my 1000+ books. Beautiful, inexpensive, strong bookcases are very hard to find. In the process of looking for bookcase inspiration, I’ve come across quite a few photos of {you’ll never guess…} books to lust after. I ended up, like many others, falling for and purchasing these Penguin Classics.
Aren’t they just lovely? They can be purchased through Indigo Books in Canada. So, it seems that I’m an addict and a dealer. Fellow book-addicts, I’m yo’ pusha’ {see below}
Why on earth do they not bind books like this anymore?!! I’d pay extra for my new favorites if they were bound like this. The four beauties above are all from handsome books. Then, there is this hotness below, found on the Selby.
Unfortunately, I can’t tell you a simple place where you can purchase these. It seems, that these are all just antique books from a particular publisher. I’ve only seen them on french e-bay, and I’m not sure how that will work out. If anyone gets their hands on one, let me know. Well, my beauties, I must run, but I leave you with the goodness below to crave. Have a beautiful day!

Hope you are having a beautiful weekend, so far!
Just a reminder, Grey Gardens premieres on HBO tonight at 8 p.m., so tune in {or at least have your DVR do so} and see what the buzz is about.
