Whether you live someplace where the transition to fall was drastically quick or you are still enjoying warm days and chilly summer-fall evenings, either way, fashion-wise, there is always one piece that has its moment of glory this time of year, and that is for me it is the blazer ...
I have been longing for gatherings for as long as I can remember. There’s comfort, love and protection when it comes to the feeling of being around family and friends around a table, and there is one place that has this same philosophy: Villa Magnan. Situated in the what is known as the "European California" on the Côte Basque, where everything revolves around surfing, Villa Magnan is a charming six-bedroom boutique-hôtel oasis for those visiting Biarritz, in the South West of France.
I stumbled across some photos of this beautiful castle in Umbria that is now a heritage hotel, and marvelled at how incredible the restoration of this 1000-year-old structure was and how the characteristics of the ancient castle and surrounding buildings were kept in intact while still offering modern comforts.
I will easily accept that I am one of those girls who takes fashion inspiration from the southwest of France and the surfer haven of Biarritz, where the style scene is all about a sportswear chic style and effortlessness in every single detail. But what has the most influence everywhere else in the world is without a doubt the Riviera style.
How hard do you struggle to fit into clothes that don’t represent you, or to fit into a style that you see on Social Media? In a world of hashtags and algorithms, finding a style that represents your true self has become more and more difficult.
If you are the kind of person that reads the tags when buying clothes and pays attention to where your clothes are manufactured, you may have notice that are many of the worldwide internationally known brands have factories in Europe. But do you know that many of these brands are manufactured in Romania? Brands such as AMI, Harmony, A.P.C, and Max Mara have most of their collections made in Romania.
While working on the mood board for a current photoshoot, I came across the work of Italian model and jewellery designer Elsa Peretti and was so inspired with her elegance and refinement that I really wanted to explore her universe, work and life.
For as long as I can remember, one of the most common compliments I've received is not, surprisingly, about my style, but about my hair. Over the years I have invested a lot of time and care into it and all I can say is that today my hair is healthy and I have managed to find a healthy routine for it ...
“What are your challenges when it comes to shopping?” This was a question I asked online the other day to try and find out the problems you are confronted with when you go shopping. There were a few clients who were the inspiration for this line of thought through the conversations we had in the changing rooms that probably make more sense now, after all the time we've had over the past year to reflect on our style and choices ...
There is only one thing that gets me more excited than new clothes or a statement bag: my favourite part of styling during summertime is jewellery. I like colourful and playful jewellery that elevates any look from day to night, and brightens up your day no matter if it’s a back to the office kind of day or you're still working from home. There are endless possibilities to style your wardrobe with playful jewellery that is both effortless and elegant. A successful outfit will include these amazing pieces that I want to share with you that will instantly elevate any outfit you wear this summer.
Have been the luckiest person to have a few sunny days away in Biarritz in this rainy month of May, where the Atlantic Ocean offered me a few days of good waves, enough to get the taste of what surfing is about and how it makes you feel. Though it was mostly cloudy while in the water, I did managed to get my face burnt by the sun (even though I used SPF 50).
Since this past month we’ve been in lockdown here in Paris and had an early curfew, I took the time at home to go through some of my favourite movies again and to discover some new ones. There are many films out there that offer perfect styling inspiration and I wanted to share a few of them here.
