With so many skincare brands and beauty bloggers on social media, it’s still not easy to know what is BEST for our skin. Au contraire to fashion, skincare is a personal thing, due to varying skin types and needs.
I first introduced Private Choice in October of last year (you can read more about it here). I recently attended the 6th edition of the event, where Nadia Candet had once again asserted her curatorial taste on the Haussmannien apartment where the event is held with a selection of contemporary artists and designers, a wide variety of artwork, furniture and design objects that come together as a unified whole. This year’s theme is highlighting the Current Trends. The great mise en scene is not only an exhibition event but also a private sale event.
These autumn days are flowing softly with the most cosy weather: crisp mornings, warm afternoons and chilly evenings. So far the days are inviting long walks in the park, listening to the crunches of leaves, « tarte tatin » moments in the afternoon, a glass of wine with friends for dinner after exhibitions.
If you are in Paris these days, you will notice a slightly different vibe in the air. Influencers, editors, models have taken the streets of Paris and are presenting the latest trends in the most creative ways. If you're here for the shows or to people watch, there are a few places in the city to go during these busy Fashion Week days and enjoy breakfast or lunch.
here are countless places to have coffee in New York City. Blue Bottle and La Colombe are reliable chains when you are in midtown. There are the cafés that are aesthetically pleasing on Instagram, but are misses when it comes to coffee. A wave of Australian cafes has emerged on the Upper East: anyone is an ideal choice before a visit to Museum Mile. On nearly every corner is a deli for a basic of cup of joe with a dash cream.
With summer coming to a bittersweet end, I thought about rounding up the beauty products for the coming season that I keep seeing in every story, article, beauty editor’s desk.
One of the best things about summer is that sun helps a lot for having colour and a healthy & no-make up visage with ease. But heureusement, a shimmering look can be easily achieved during the rainy days too.
When thinking of the South I always picture sunny landscapes, pink hours by the beach, dîners en plein air on the terrace. Last August I spent only a few days in the south and I didn’t get a chance to visit all the places I wanted to see so much.
Two days ago here in France was la rentrée. I say it every year—for me September is the New Year. After a month of leisure, dreaming and relaxing, it’s time to set new goals, begin new things, learn a new language (currently learning Portuguese), perfect timing to refresh the wardrobe.
Walking in the sunset light the other day I suddenly realised how quiet and empty my busy neighbourhood has become. Like every year, most Parisians are leaving for their Summer Holidays and quite a melancholic ambiance has fallen over the city.
Discussing the topic of Instagram recently with friends and colleagues, I have come to the realisation that no matter how things are going to continue with the business side of the platform, for us, it will always be a place for creativity and for sharing the world through our own vision.
I will be visiting Ireland in August for the first time and am a little anxious about having to pack my rain boots and cashmere sweaters for the moody weather. It is a beautiful place, however, and has become known for its myriad of castles, many of them are abandoned or in ruins, while others were restored and worth a visit.
There are days when inspiration is at every corner and in every detail, but during busy weeks (like a big week of sales) when so many things are happening at the same time, inspiration is absent...
