Getting ready for Milan Fashion Week

The other day I went around Lugano and also had my hair  done in preparation for the week end in Milan for Fashionweek.
I just had my usual highlights done and just for fun I had a little pink chalk spray put in.. I love it ! I think I will experiment with those sprays a bit more, because they look fun! Then you just wash it off and it will all wash away. What do you think ?

My new Alexander Wang Rockie bag

This year I have received a wonderful gift from my hubby for Valentine's day.. And this is the Rockie bag by Alexander Wang!
I love it so much!
This bag has always been on my wishlist but for one reason or another I never got around buying it.
Well I have to say I wish I bought it ages ago!
It is such a great looking bag and also practical I think having the straps ,too.
My Rockie is in colour Oyster and it is the soft leather version.
I think this particular version is very rock chic with the shiny golden studs.
It is quite big ,too I mean I can fit quite a few stuff in it, my Balenciaga Continental wallet fits perfectly in it plus several other items including make up bag, phone, etc
I think I will do a post on what I can fit it in it soon!
What do you think of it? You girls like it?

Clinique Turnaround Concetrate Radiance Renewer

I have been using this product for a few weeks now morning and night and I have noticed improvements in my skin tone and smoothness.
It is a exfoliating serum that claims to turn skin around from dull to luminous by optimizing the renewal of skin cells.
This product has a light silky texture , it is  easy to apply also thanks to the pump dispenser.
I am very impressed by the Turnaround Concentrate Radiance Renewer my skin feels softer, my skintone is definetely brighter and more even.
I will definetely keep using it and it is now part of my daily beauty routine.
It is available in the 30 ml or 50 ml bottle and I feel it is pretty good value for money as you really do not need a lot each day.
