Hello and happy Monday to all of you in blogland! How is everything? Are you well? I had a very nice weekend, I finished some work around the house and got to watch a few late night films after I finished (the reward for the hard work). I saw this film and this one. I liked them both, though the Meg Ryan one (she looks as gorgeous as ever BTW) was a bit darker than the Sarah Jessica Parker flick but that was oddly my favorite part of the film. Both weren’t the best films, but I still liked them… especially the Meg one. Seems a dark side lurks in all of us. :)
To begin a new week on decor8, I thought I’d share a super inspiring food blog that I came across recently in Canada with foodie Nikole Herriott heading up the 46th At Grace operation and, what I think is just brilliant, is that she runs a small online shop called Herriott Grace where she sells some of her favorite things. I’ve used images from her shop above to highlight what she sells, but please visit her blog for additional gorgeous food photography and recipes. I appreciate her very casual approach to styling, it’s not all fussed to perfection like some food styling can lean but more approachable and her lighting is superb! Nikole is totally rocking my world right now.
Who are some your favorite food bloggers?
What a lovely way to begin our week here together, don’t you agree? With CAKE and sweets and food… Can’t you tell I’m cutting back on sugar!?

Food blogs? Bakerella of course! It’s truly brilliant what she can do w/ a cake pop! Sorry…you’re cutting back on sugar…maybe not the best time to mention cake pops!

@Heather – oh no problem, I’m over the “detox” period of cutting it out so I actually feel GREAT now. But I couldn’t even look at a food blog two weeks ago with cake on it. :) xo
June 6th, 2011 at 6:05 pm
oooh I love her styling. Isn’t it great!? This is my first food blog! I’m normally stuck in the interiors / wedding world. Nice change, thanks! mx

oh, goodness, how beautiful! i’ll be following her. so hard when you can’t have sugar. stevia, and occasionally xylitol for baking, have saved me! also pomona pectin for jam sweetened with apple juice. sigh. x

I’ve been following Nikole for a while now, I even own one of her cupcake stands! My only downer is that she does not post very often anymore, I think she’s too busy with other stuff – same with Orangette.
My favourite food bloggers are Wednesday Chef, Tartine Gourmande and my friend Foodie in Berlin…I also like the photos of Sweetapolita.
