The Show is Over Moulin Rouge Copyright Carla Coulson
The show is over for another week and I am off to Italy. I am SO EXCITED!! For those of you who feel like checking out some lovely links this weekend I can highly recommend the following:
Vicariously vacation with the fabulous Erica Berman from Hip Paris in Liguria, some stunning photos!
The lovely Amy from God I Love Paris once lived in Paris and still pines from afar, her blog has insightful tips on Paris. She has a wonderful post on a dining experience and a crush on Chef Stéphane Jégo and a fabulous new book that she wrote whilst living in Paris.. Paris, My Sweet. Check it out.
I love Italian food. Click on over to Elaine’s blog The Italian Dish it will have you donning the apron and cooking up a storm, fresh and full of inspiration from a recent trip to Italy. The Capri inspired Lemon Cake has me drooling!! For the non bakers (moi) Elaine holds your hand and step by step guides you through it, with beautiful pics to inspire. I think this line “This cake is great in the morning with coffee, but it’s awfully good also after dinner with a little limoncello!” sold me on the cake..
Australian and New Zealand talent are exposed in this blog by NZ girl Julia.. we have some amazing talent down under so I love keeping up with all things hot, innovative and creative at Studio Home
Inspiration for a life well lived.. is how the gorgeous Rachel over at Little Bit of Lovely describes her blog and there is always bucket loads of inspiring posts to browse through here with up to the minute all things stylish and chic!

Hi Carla
/
I am a bit sad because I feel like traveling to Italy right now and I mean right now
Peter Robb’s book has been sitting on my bookshelf for years now, time to take it down.
Great links..
I am off to Roma at the end of June and hope to find a Roma referral on your blog very soon
In the meantime buon viaggio e a presto. Enjoy!

Carla, thanks so much for incuding HiP Paris in your weekend links. Liguria is a gorgeous place to be. I recommend it to everyone!!
I am excited to discover the Italian Dish. I did not know and I think it is going to be very helpful in planning my dinner party with 4 Italians domani sera!
And I do highly recommend Amy’s blog and book. She is a sweetie indeed!
A presto – Erica
Have a wonderful time in Italy + adored all the links mentioned in this post. xxpeggybraswelldesign.com

Hi Carla! The vicarious vacation piece and photos was actually written and shot by me, not the lovely Erica Berman. Glad you enjoyed the images and the piece overall!
