Smiling Miss Daisy


I have had a major style crush on Carey Mulligan a.k.a. Daisy Buchanan lately. She always manages to look modern and chic while keeping her makeup fresh and quite minimal. Look at her on the Cannes red carpet with director Baz Luhrmann. How pretty is she? 

I'd say you always look so cool Miss Mulligan!

21 girls, 21 days. That is the concept of the latest Salvatore Ferragamo L'icona campaign celebrating the 35 anniversary of the cult-classic Vara and Varina ballet flats. Curated by fine-art photographer Clairbone Swanson Frank, the project features 21 stylish ladies such as Elettra Wiedemann, Miroslava Duma, Olivia Palermo and Lily Alridge. I am completely smitten by the stunning pictures showing how these modern icons have styled the famous shoes. Visit the campaign's website to discover the other elegant girls.

I have a major crush on the red ones! What about you?

Keira Knightley Stars In Chanel "Once Upon A Time"


Have you seen Chanel Ambassador and newlywed Keira Knightley personifying Gabrielle Chanel in "Once Upon A Time", the latest Chanel short film? She is utterly fresh and chic! It's only normal for this young actress accustomed to period costumes. And this time around, she had the honor of being directed by Karl Lagerfeld himself who recreated the Deauville atmosphere of 1913, at the opening of Chanel's first boutique. The film also features Chanel Ambassadors Tallulah Harlech and Lindsey Wixson.


Watch it here!


Have a nice weekend!

Met Gala: The Place To Be Daring

Hilary Rhoda
Gerard Butler and Alexa Chung
Amanda Seyfried and Donatella Versace
Jaime King and Prabal Gurung
Carolyn Murphy and Lauren Santo Domingo
Hugh Dancy, Eddy Redmayne and Carey Mulligan

"PUNK: Chaos to Couture". That was the truly daring theme of the Costume Institute Gala, which took place at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on Monday. If there is one red carpet where the ladies can fully explore their creative side it's definitively this NYC annual gathering. Apart from watching the fabulous dresses on the red carpet, I also enjoy having a look at the candid black and white shots from the after-party.

Who knew anarchy was in fashion!

Kusmi Launches BB Detox Tea, The Very First BB Tea


Spring is here at last! After a looong and harsh winter, I am ready to store my winter gear, get a new haircut, buy flirty dresses and clean my windows (well, maybe not the last part!). Now that Spring cleaning is in full swing, it's also the perfect timing to clean up our makeup bags and adapt our beauty routine to achieve a glowing complexion. Well guess what? There is a new trick specially made for that purpose. Read on...


As a tea aficionada, I have always been fond of Kusmi, a tea house established in Paris in 1917. Well-known for their wellness line and Russian-style tea with intriguing names such as "Anastasia" or "Prince Wladimir", the brand offers 90 variety of tea, which are all packaged in colourful and elegant metal tins.



Inspired by the BB cream frenzy, which is taking the beauty industry by storm, Kusmi has created BB Detox, the very first BB tea. A BB what? Yes, my darlings, the very first beauty beverage made with an original blend of green tea, maté, rooibos, guarana, dandelion and a hint of grapefruit.



This deliciously refreshing tea caters to all our skin's daily needs just as a BB cream would:

Detoxifying: The combination of maté and green tea helps eliminating excess fluid from the body and improves skin's appearance by boosting toxin removal.

Protecting: The dandelion, rooibos and green tea helps protect the skin from the harmful effects of free radicals.

Moisturizing: Of course, by drinking many cups of tea, you keep your skin hydrated, supple and bright.

I have learned early on that drinking plenty of water and green tea was among the great skin savers. But now I am glad to have discovered another approach to reach the recommended daily water intake of a litre and a half. I have first tried the BB Detox tea hot, then in its iced version, which is surprisingly refreshing.

This tea has it all: Chic packaging, delightful smell, fresh grapefruit taste and plenty of awesome benefits for our body & skin.

The Kusmi BB Detox tea gives a new meaning to Spring cleaning!

Tiffany Toasts The Great Gatsby

Relive The Glamour Of The Jazz Age With Tiffany's Ziegfield Collection

Are you as thrilled as me about the upcoming adaptation of The Great Gatsby? 

The highly anticipated film made by director Baz Luhrmann and his costume designer wife Catherine Martin features Leonardo Di Caprio and Carey Mulligan and is set to open in theatre on May 10. If you had a chance to catch a glance of the trailer (see below) you have certainly been smitten by the lavish and stylish production, which brings to life F. Scott Fitzgerald's masterpiece.

As we eagerly await to see how the Hollywood power-couple, mainly known for Moulin Rouge, have translated The Great Gatsby into a cinematic extravaganza, it is now possible to admire the stunning jewelry pieces worn by Daisy Buchanan at Tiffany's. Indeed, the iconic brand has just launched the Ziegfield collection named after New York's historic Seinfeld theatre. The collection features freshwater pearls, black onyx and sterling silver—materials that perfectly channel the spirit of the Roaring Twenties.

Have a look at some luxurious and timeless pieces below:

The pearl necklace and rings are part of the Tiffany Ziegfield collection but the earrings and the headband are part of The Tiffany Great Gatsby Collection, inspired by the Baz Luhrmann long-awaited upcoming movie and created in collaboration with Oscar-winning costume designer Catherine Martin.

I absolutely love this pearl tassel necklace. Isn't strikingly chic?

And what about this fabulous headpiece with diamonds and freshwater pearls?

I could easily be tempted by these diamond jaw-dropping drop earrings...

...And also by this cocktail ring with pearl and onyx!

If you feel like diving into the flappers era, take a trip to Tiffany.
