Giovanni Soldini and the MASERATI TEAM finish fourth in 71ST ROLEX SYDNEY HOBART YACHT RACE

At 13.00 Sidney time on December, 26th the VOR 70 Maserati, her 13-strong crew and skipper Giovanni Soldini started what is one of the greatest, most gruelling and historic international yacht races: the Rolex Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race.
 The 110 boats from different nations in the fleet then went to do battle on a particularly challenging and insidious 628-nautical mile between Sidney and Hobart.
Soldini and Maserati had been training in Australia for several months venturing forth everyday into the fearsome waters of South Pacific.
And at exactly 11:54:33 local time Maserati became the fourth craft to cross the finishing line in the 71st
Edition of the Rolex Sidney-Hobart Yacht Race.
The Italian VOR 70 covered the 628-mile distance between Australia and Tasmania in 2 days, 22 hours, 54 minutes, 33 seconds.
Line honours went to the American 100' Comanche, followed by the Australian yacht Ragamuffin and American craft Rambler.

Adidas Originals goes Baroque!

The Holidays are slowly passing, after the pre Christmas stress and hectic days now I am also enjoying some time off. I hope you all had a lovely Christmas and now I am very much looking forward to New Year's Eve.

It is quite a big news that there is no snow here in Switzerland at the moment and the weather has also been quite mild. I really enjoyed wearing casual / sporty clothing for lounging at home and going for long relaxing walks.

Just before the Holidays I have received this wonderful bomber jacket from Adidas Originals and I have been really loving it!

It is part of the Adidas Originals Baroque range, in a satiny material covered in print inspired by baroque jacquard patterns which were really popular in the '70s. Adidas has really managed to give a luxurious new look to a sporty bomber jacket!

If you love the print as much as I do available are also leggins, hoodie, track jacket and more!

Wish you a HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Poppy Delevigne's Tipps on planning your Holiday Party with a little help of JO MALONE

Chestnuts are roasting on that open fire, the snow is falling outside.. and soon you’ll be caught kissing your loved one under the mistletoe. With only a few days to Christmas it is important  to get started on setting the ambiance for your Holiday party. So you’ve probably got all your menu planned and all the decorations are up but yet you could do with some extra few tipps to make your Christmas party really special.

 Poppy Delevingne together with JO MALONE is sharing her tipps on how you can make your Christmas party one to remember. “The fun is in the detail. Prepare…then party on.”

TWO DAYS BEFORE: “Open a diffuser and let it work its magic on your home. This is the fabulous foundation of your party mood.”

A DAY BEFORE: “Get your music and playlist people! It’s Christmas, make it joyful. I go for  Mariah Carey and Michael Bublé for starters. Call me cheesy—I don’t care. Then take a giant candle, one of those enormous ones, and put it in the middle of the room or on a mantelpiece. Weave the winter foliage all around it and people will marvel at your creativity. After all, why be subtle when you can be spectacular?”

 THREE HOURS BEFORE: “My house isn’t the only thing that needs some prep. It’s time get myself spruced. I’ll have a long hot bath with a big splash of Jo Malone’s Red Roses Bath Oil and a candle lit—the calm before the storm. Then I’ll smother myself in my Body Crème in Red Roses too, it helps my scent last all night. Finally I’ll use my Tuberose Angelica Cologne for a hot, evening mood. Spritz where you want to be kissed.”

TWO HOURS BEFORE: “Place candles around your front door and all around the house. Light them early so the scent has time to diffuse and admire the theatrical glow. (Now you’re a set designer, who knew?)”

AT THE PARTY: “Make an entrance. Waft down the stairs smelling amazing after a quick spritz. Then keep a little 30ml Cologne on hand—you never know when you might need it. Have a few Ultimate Christmas Crackers lying around for pulling when things (and people) start to get merry, they’re madly oversized and festive.”

Last but not least hang some mistletoe and make it a.. #HAPPYKISSMAS
