Summer Beauty

May 17, 2011 / No Comments

So technically, it’s not yet summer or not anymore (considering its raining again like hell after a few beautiful and warm early summer days..). Anyways, it’s never too soon to get back into shape and stock on your favourite summer beauty products!
Voila my top beauty picks for this summer:

beauty

clockwise:

Bumble & Bumble Surf Spray: THE one and only style product, I use it all year long! But especially during summer you won’t want to miss out on the most amazingly beachy, wavy hair.

Johnson’s Baby Shampoo with natural lanvendar: Forget all the super fancy shampoos…this one will make your hair the most soft and shiney!! It comes with the NO MORE TEARS formula, as well as good, old childhood memories!

Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse Or: This oil from favourite french brand guarantees the perfect summer legs. Nothing more to add…except I wish the products were less expensive outside France.

Essie too too hot: Once in a while (i.e. when the new Chanel polish collections come out) we like to experiment with different colours. But c’mon, if we’re honest there is only RED, a deliciously bright red for summer. This one is from the new Essie collection and comes in a sizzling rich red coral ;)

Rodin Lip Balm: After the best-seller olio lusso, stylist Linda Rodin created a new, highly coveted beauty product: an ultra smoothening lip balm based on natural ingredients only.

Soleil Tan de Chanel: This light bronzing make-up base is one of the best products ever! It creates a perfect sun-kissed look and is worth every cent!

Supergoop Sunscreen whipes SPF 30+: Sun protection was never that easy. Those face and body whipes fit perfectly into your purse and are super practical on the way..get them via Colette.

Kusmi Algotea: Green tea with mint and seaweeds. It’s rich in vitamins and anti-oxidants..in short the perfect wellness drink. However, it has a very particular taste…I say you either love it or hate it ;) So, if you wanna go safe there is always the classical Kusmi detox tea, which is also perfect to make your own, healthy ice tea.

So what are your favourite beauty products for the summer??

Little White Dress

May 15, 2011 / No Comments

It’s not at all easy to find that perfect LWD (Little White Dress)…you know, the one to wear during hot summer days, but which you could also easily pair up with tights and a parka for cold times!

So last weekend in Berlin I finally found  THE one LWD from Sandro at Galeries Lafayette. It has the perfect length, a cute zipper at the back and beautiful lace details (and we love white lace this summer!!)

Take some inspirations from favourite blogger Elin on how to style the LWD:

New York Fashion Week: The Essentials

New York Fashion Week has officially started! Feeling really inspired by Vogue.com‘s impressive line-up of ‘key players’ (including everyone from the designers to the models to the nightlife kings) sharing their fashion week essentials in a beautifully photographed story by The Coveteur.

Above: Sylvana Ward Durret, VOGUE director of special events

‘I’m very much into a suede pump these days, and this hot-pink pair from Manolo Blahnik amps up any look—and they’re comfortable.’

Gucci Westman, Makeup artist

‘My Chanel bag was a gift from my husband, David, but I picked the color.’

Right now, I just wish/hope/pray I’ll be saying the exact same sentence one sweet day (except for my Chanel has to be tomato red! Ha ha!)

Harley Viera-Newton, DJ

‘I always have Hermès leather gloves because not only do they keep my hands warm, they are also the best accessory ever—two birds, one stone.’

5-sarah-brown_nyfw essentials

Sarah Brown, VOGUE Beauty director

‘I needed something that could fit invitations, stacks of WWDs, a notebook, perhaps an iPad, and, quite possibly, an extra pair of shoes. Alber Elbaz to the rescue!’

6-natalie-joos_nyfw essentials

Natalie Joos, casting director and blogger

‘This time of year, it really helps to have a nice, warm coat to run around the city and I recently found this amazing cashmere Céline in baby blue. It has big pockets that hold my cell phone.’

Jessica Sailer, VOGUE market editor

‘A Flip camera black Céline motorcycle jacket for day and night.’

‘Givenchy boots: I haven’t worn them yet, but I love them. I’m going to be so tall!’

Picture of the day: Diane in action

I love this picture of Diane playing boules in Chanel. Her outfit is pure perfection: the mix of black&white, the texture of the skirt, the loose braid tied together with a ribbon (note to myself: that is how to wear the hair all summer long), the Panama hat…

Thanks to Garance for sharing the pics of this very intimate Chanel event in St. Tropez, they made my day, here in rainy Paris!
