I decided to take this challenge last Saturday as I did my first food shopping in the new city I just moved in (on Friday). I am not the kind of person who tries to save on food because I think nutrition is the most important thing not to save on (and health) and I love eating. But I found myself in the...
View of Porto Portugal is a beautiful country with amazing people and wonderful food. There is something about Portugal that has always fascinated me and I think a lot of people too. This country has a very old history, from the ancient Evora, where you can still see ruins of roman temples, to the more lively Porto. When we think of Portugal we...
In the last month I switched around a bit the beauty products I use daily, spring has been around for a month or so, but rainy coldish days have interrupeted the warming up process. My skin also seems to have made peace with me and it looks quite good, not so much redness and oilyness. On the other hand, the end of exam...
Summer has always been the best moment to refresh my life style. Some people prefer the new year, it's more symbolic, but for me summer represents holidays and chance to travel, destress and learn something new. Summer has also always been quite minimalist for me, maybe because what I usually do is stroll from home to the beach and then go out usually...
Some days you feel like slipping on your black underwear, because no matter who you are no matter is you are a business woman or a shop assistant, there is a part of your soul which is black. In those days you feel like being kissed a lot and you long for that sense of excitement when the person you love touches your...
Wear tones of mascara, and that dress that leaves your back naked. Buy yourself flowers and drink champagne in the morning. Paint your nails black as the night and tell a boy a made up name when he askes for your number. Then have a wonderful weekend away with him and never call him again. Smuggle into a fancy hotel and walk through...
Maybe because I have big lips or maybe I always found fascinating, slightly sexual, the way a woman puts on lipstick. It does not require pulling and making weird faces, you just open slightly your mouth, looking at the reflection of your lips in your pocket mirror and apply some colour. Lipstick colours also don't have so many strict rules as eyeshadows have....
This time I choose I less traditional outfit of the week, in fact this look was just rocked by Gisele Bunchen in her last even catwalk. The supermodel had her last walk at the Sao Paolo Fashion Week, a nice way to tribute her Brazilian origins. The lucky designer was Colcci, who is probably enjoying now a good dose of exposure because of...

We've long heard about those long flight beauty routines, we all saw Lisa Eldrige's youtube video about it, and also Ruth Crilly's. But what if our flight is short (i.e. up to 5hours), what if we don't have time, and actually think it's exagerated, to put on mask, toner, cleanser, and 3 different moisturising layers? I get you, I fly quite frequently, on...
I did it! I finally did it! I found a good cheap self tanner that won't turn me into an Umpa Lumpa. I confess two sins here, first of all I had this product for years stashed into a box because the first time I used this self tanner it was summer, in Italy. No wonders I saw no results, I was going...
We all have learnt to love (or hate) Leandra Medine, a.k.a. The Men Repeller, and either way she is today one of the most important names in fashion blogging and street style. Personally I think that Medine's personal style is very often a bit excessive and over the top, but I can't deny that she has a good eye for fashion and some...

It's no secret that one of my favourite current models is Sara Sampaio, she is just adorable, exactly the kind of girl I like, smily, happy and enthusiast. I like girls how have fun and are playful, without trying too hard. And then, there is her look, she's a Victoria's Secret model, of course she is wonderful, not too skinny, slightly tanned with...
Jewelery is a big obsession for women, those shiny beautiful diamonds, since the dawn of history indicating wealth and beauty, decorating men and women. Liz Taylor used to say she felt naked without jewels on, Marylin sung about them as "a girl's best friends" and still up today the Chopard ads and Bulgari photoshoots make our heads spin. Still not all of us...
The 15 years old daughter of Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradise made her official red carpet debut this week in New York at the Metiere d'art show by Chanel. Accompanied by her mother, a long-time muse of Lagerfeld, she wore a total outfit by Chanel's SS15. I really think she's lovely and the dress is amazing, I also like how she personalised t...
Some people buy magazines only to sell out the samples and make some money, other times you simply want to read the magazine but are not interested in the product itself. So here's a short simple guide on how to make the most from these products. 1) Don't sell them the moment you get them, all the other people that bought the magazine...
Now that April has started we can really say that spring is here, or at least around the corner (I am looking at you Scotland!) and it's also time to ditch the deep nourishing masks and heavily moisturising creams and give in to all the spring and summery products. Here are my favourites: Chanel Hydra beauty lip balm, a wonderful product for your...
Let's all take a step back with this new obsession about hiding away from the sun all scared that we're going to get some wrinkles. The sun is good for us, we know it, that's why we smile every time we see it after a week of rain, or we suddenly want to get out and go for a walk in the park....
