There are no rules on how to perfect shopping. As a stylist, I see women everyday trying and buying things―things that are trendy, things that don’t fit well, or the right colour. For this week, I just want to share with you a few essentials that every woman needs in her wardrobe. Every one of these pieces will elevate your look, no matter what your work environment looks like. These are the key pieces to put on your shopping list.

You can call me overly obsessed with the trouser suit style and I will agree with you. I think there is no other style that makes a women look more powerful and confident, attractive and stylish than while wearing a full suit. When I spend my days at work in a suit, I never feel more comfortable or confident. In fact, I often get asked by my clients if they can try the look as well and this inspired me to write a few words about this great style option.
SICILIA HAS BEEN in my heart since long ago―I have always wanted to take a little tour to discover this beautiful side of Italy.
It depends on how many days you decide to stay, but it is not hard to cover the region while stopping at the most iconic places on the island.
When I first came to France, I read books for school: Molière, Pierre de Ronsard, Eluard, Lamartine―it was ‘enrichissant for my culture’. I hardly remember all those readings, honte à moi.
“There is a purpose in everything. In order to achieve it, one must detach oneself from an awareness of self.” The importance of this humility lay in the fact that without it one cannot perceive things as they are in themselves; egotism tries to refashion things according its own distorted perceptions. “I am no longer of this world,” wrote the young Brancusi. “I am far from myself, I am no longer a part of my own person. I am within the essence of things themselves.”
Have been going to the same places for the past few days: coffee at Kitsune, strolling on the Collete alley, window shopping around the galleries. I find there is magic in Palais-Royal and I get so disconnected while being there.
Isola Bella, a baroque beauty, is a small island near Taormina, Sicily, southern Italy. Also known as The Pearl of the Ionian Sea, it is located within a small bay on the Ionian Sea...
The utility or boiler suit is one spring trend that I am willing to give a try this year. Whether you follow trends or not, this one is timeless and works with everything, on every occasion―depending, of course, on the style and fabric of the piece you have. You can choose one in denim or you can choose leather, cotton, linen, or lurex, etc.―all of these options being easy to style.
We may know little about Karl Lagerfeld’s successor, but Virginie Viard definitely knows everything about Chanel and its values. The new creative director hates being in the spotlight she used to say, but she will be for a while now since her new role marks the first time a female designer is taking the helm of the brand since Gabrielle Chanel herself.
Hard to keep up with everything new in the beauty and fashion domaine. While Prêt-à-Porter Fashion Week is ongoing in the Capitals of Fashion, in the beauty world there are a few things that are not only popular but they’re really worth trying. Here are a few of my favourites.
There is a restaurant in the 8th arrondissement in Paris, Noto, that I always wanted to tell you about. Haven’t had the chance to try it yet, but I really want to go, as I recently visited the small town of the same name, in Sicily, a polished city with beautiful palaces.
Already a week back home from holidays and buried in work and I am almost forgetting again how wonderful life is when you travel and you have adventures and discover new places.
The Most famous département stores in Paris are a stopping point on all touristic itineraries. Aristide Boucicaut is one of the pioneers of creating the département store, opening “Au Bon Marché” in 1852. Since then the phenomenon of this style of shopping has become an integral part of life in France.
In this age of noise, newness, visual information overload; in the ever-evolving fashion platform where you have access to everything I still find it absolutely amazing the fact that style is still stronger than just fashion in this world full of influencers, bloggers and instagrammers.
In the middle of the craziness of the week, we made the decision to leave Paris for a few hours, to change the view, the ideas, to discover a new neighbourhood and new tastes.
