Let's have a night in!

Yes Spring is here but the weather unfortunately seems to have remained in Winter. So while it is too cold to  go out while not enjoy some good movies on dvd this Easter week end and cozy up to your loved one?
Here are my recommendations:


RACING HEARTS ( Fliegende Herzen)

Jamie Dornan (Fifty Shades of Grey) and Charlotte de Bruyne star in this romantic , drama filled love story.
Colin (Dornan ) is a wealthy New York businessmann which will be confronted to choose between the deal of his career and the love of his life.





WHAT WE DID ON OUR HOLIDAY

Doug ( David Tennant) and Abi ( Rosamunde Pike) take their three children on a journey to the Scottish Highlands to attend Doug's dad birthday party. However they are hiding a secret , but the children will do their best to make sure it won't be a secret for long..
An uplifting family comedy!






WHAT DREAMS MAY COME TRUE ( Hinter dem Horizont)

Robin Williams stars in this highly spiritual movie and  will take you to a journey through heaven and hell  while exploring the meaning of life.





Happy viewing!

MAC latest collaborations for Spring/Summer are simply fabulous!

MAC  collaborations are always really inspiring but these latest for Spring/Summer with  three stars from the world of design, blogging and music are all to die for!
MAC partnered with Brazilian blogger Julia Petit, jewellery designer Bao Bao Wan and Dj Mia Moretti to create wonderful collections for this Spring/ Summer.
MAC's Bao Bao Wan  collection was inspired by her womanly and brazen aesthetic and shot by fellow Chinese luminary Chen Man.
The collection with metallic golds and rich jewel tones reflects her trademark decorative designs as she lets the face take centre stage.
Eyes are gilded in bronze, skin twinkles like a diamond, lips flicker like rubies and nails outshine even the most precious gems. MAC'S Bao Bao Wan collection is really as luxurious as her jewellery artwork.

Flared is back!


Flared is back..wow! Well, I must say I love this trend, I have always loved flared jeans and used to wear them years ago so honestly I couldn't wait to start wearing them again! 
I spotted this jeans and top while shopping in H&M last week and I HAD TO GET THEM! I have completely fallen in love with them.. The jeans are so nice, just a perfect shade and quite lightweight  therefore I think I will be able to wear them through spring/summer. I also spotted in H&M a light denim version of the same flared jeans which I also loved..so if you are looking for a pair I would definetely suggest to have a browse in there!
 The only thing with flared jeans is that for me you need to wear heels with them, this way you can make your legs look longer and recreate a perfect 70's style! Flared jeans are also often too long to wear without heels and can make you look a bit stumpy if worn with flats. 
And talking about heels I think I have just found the perfect pair in these open-toes nude sandals from Dosenbach, they are so comfy and look great with so many outfits!
I finished off the look with this Accessorize hat and my Celine Trio bag.
Hope you like this look!
Have you embraced the flared jeans trend yet?

Xoxo

Adidas Superstar Supercolor launch!

The other night I had the great pleasure to attend Adidas  Originals Superstar Supercolor launch in Zurich. The night was of course colourful..and full of fun!
The event was held at the Caran d'Ache Boutique in Zurich and let me say that so pretty and colourful it was just the perfect place to showcase the new Supercolors!
The Adidas Originals Superstar silhouette is transformed in 50 different colours thanks to the collaboration between Adidas and Pharrell Williams. Pharrell knows that the most empowering thing you can give a superstar is freedom of expression.


"Supercolor is a celebration of equality through diversity. With 50 colours of Superstar, everyone will be able to  select his or her colour. It is more diverse than any other pack ever before and therefore is more individual than any other pack ever before." "With every shoe treated exactly the same, all colours are equal. No matter what colour you choose, you can be part of the Supercolor. Choose your colour."  says Pharrell.
















Of course the Supercolor are even more beautiful in real life..absolutely loved the royal blue ones, as you know my fav colour but also the red and pale blue ones. I like the fact that the entire shoe is made all in the same colour from sole to laces and details it is really unique and special!
At the end of the night I have received a red pair of Supercolor, they are gorgeous and I think they will go so well with many different outfits. At the end of the day red can brighten up any outfits and I am already thinking so many combinations.. in fact I was so happy and excited I could not wait to shoot them, stay tuned as the first shooting is coming up next on here!





Wow! Loving the royal blue!



colours, colours, colours..






from white to red..

Reveal a velvety, fresh and luminous skin this spring with L'Occitane new Pivoine range

L'Occitane is launching the brand new line Pivoine with its Eau de Toilette Pivoine Flora. Formulated with peony extracts from Drôme in the South of France, The Pivoine Collection offers a floral and generous perfume and a distinctive lingering freshness.
The Pivoine Flora Eau de Toilette brings a fragrant atmosphere of a beautiful garden filled with peonies. It is a rich floral fragrance with head notes of bergamot and grapefruit. It comes in a lovely feminine bottle which evokes the delicate roundness of a peony that has come into bloom. It is really the perfect scent for this Spring!







Modern life really can cause a lot of damage on our skin: stress, pollution, suddden changes in temperatures, etc are all factors which can impact on our skin and make it dry and dehydrated. Skin can lose radiance and skintone can appear uneven. Pores are more visible and fine lines start to appear.
In this environment we need a perfecting cream that can face all these issues and act upon them.
We have found it in the new L'Occitane Pivoine Sublime Perfecting Cream which is certainly the star product of this range.
A peony coming into bloom is stunning and it is just the perfect flower for Spring, with its belvety, fresh and luminous petals now you can have all this also in your skincare! L'Occitane has exctrated a perfecting concentrate from peonies that grow in the Drôme region. This patented extract rich in natural plant sugar acts on skin cells to help visibly correct complexion and texture irregularities.
It is basically a moisturiser and a primer in one, thanks to the Pivoine Sublime complex and its formulation suitable for all skin types, this velvety cream acts immediately on the skin, enhancing its beauty.
The Pivoine Sublime Perfecting Cream provides optimal hydration skin feels hydrated but it is still able to breathe and thanks to its texture is able to form a protective film. It also make a perfect base for make up.
The perfecting cream gives a radiance boost to skin and its texture feeels smoother, soft and velvety just like a beautiful peony.
It really glows with a fresh natural beauty!









In the Pivoine Sublime range you can also find :  CC Skintone Perfecting Cream SPF20,  Perfecting Mist and Tinted Lipbalms.
