CINEMA
I believe that it’s safe to say that my love for cinema no longer needs to be demonstrated – I take as witnesses the numerous articles Continue reading “CINEMA”
FEMININITY
Femininity, what is it? Let’s go back to our dear books. If I believe the various dictionaries I have referred to Continue reading “FEMININITY”
NORTH BY NORTHWEST
“North by Northwest”, a film directed by Sir Alfred in 1959, is my favorite Hitchcock Continue reading “NORTH BY NORTHWEST”
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
As a lawyer, I would be happy to review the terms and conditions Continue reading “TERMS AND CONDITIONS”
CHARADE
A perfectly Hepburnian dress and a cruise on the Seine. It didn’t take much for me to think of “Charade”. Continue reading “CHARADE”
THE SWANS OF FIFTH AVENUE
Here I am, in a retro style, ready to tell you about a novel I loved: “The Swans of Fifth Avenue” Continue reading “THE SWANS OF FIFTH AVENUE”
DARK PATTERNS
This is me in black just because I think it’s appropriate, given that I want to discuss the dark side of the force with you today: digital “dark patterns”. Continue reading “DARK PATTERNS”
FURIOUS DEBATE
It’s quite obvious that I love fur. My little sister hates me for it and I wouldn’t be surprise if PETA struck me with its wrath sooner rather than later, considering the numerous furs in the posts of this website. Continue reading “FURIOUS DEBATE”
BVLGARI
Bvlgari, the roman jeweler. Bulgari, the jeweler of vibrant, colorful gems. Bvlgari, the jeweler which masterfully combines utter elegance, with an oh-so-Roman touch of creative madness. Creativity is the master word. Passion too. Continue reading “BVLGARI”
JET LAG
“Jet lag, also called desynchronosis and flight fatigue, is a temporary disorder that causes fatigue, insomnia, and other symptoms as a result of air travel across multiple time zones. It is considered a circadian rhythm sleep disorder, which is a disruption of the internal circadian clock”. Continue reading “JET LAG”
BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY’S
In this post, I felt like discussing – in my own way – a movie that I absolutely love: “Breakfast at Tiffany’s”.
I have no particular affinity with Tiffany & Co but my love for Bulgari is limitless and well-documented, therefore this photoshoot became Breakfast at Bulgari’s, with the help of a coffee and a croissant. Continue reading “BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY’S”
NO PAIN, NO GAIN
This Burberry dress with its pretty bejeweled collar often – depending on the posture – makes me look pregnant. That’s because of its Empire waistline combined with a balloon-shaped skirt. But at the end of the day, looking like you’re pregnant isn’t the worst thing that could happen once you stop running after a skinny figure. Continue reading “NO PAIN, NO GAIN”
HAUSSMANNIAN STYLE
What is more emblematic of Paris than the Haussmannian building? When Napoleon III commissioned Georges-Eugène Haussmann in 1853 to modernize Paris, an architectural revolution began. Continue reading “HAUSSMANNIAN STYLE”
ORGANZA
The boat is vintage, the dress is vintage, I am vintage (Probably.)
It is always a great pleasure to wear this Dior dress, which is assuredly as older as I am. Continue reading “ORGANZA”
LABORATORIO CAPRI
When you accidentally discover Michele Esposito’s Laboratorio Capri whilst strolling down a charming street in Capri you only want one thing: buy the whole store and bring the said Michele back to Paris. Continue reading “LABORATORIO CAPRI”
FUNNY FACE
Is “Funny Face” funny? Well, not even.
“Funny Face”, directed in 1957 by Stanley Donen Continue reading “FUNNY FACE”
GOAL
A kind spirit advised me once to stop posting pictures of myself on the Internet, because, being over 40 and not having a model’s physique I was on my way to the “paroxysm of ridicule” (dixit). Continue reading “GOAL”
DIMORPHISM
It’s amusing to observe how human nature sometimes goes against the rules that pervade the animal world.
The laws of the animal kingdom often require the male to be most attractive, adorned with the most sensational coats and featherings. Continue reading “DIMORPHISM”
NO MAKE-UP
I am particularly sensitive to Alicia Keys’ initiative, which consists in not wearing makeup systematically, Continue reading “NO MAKE-UP”
WHO NEEDS TO BREATHE, DEAR? IT’S SO OVERRATED!
I adore this Dior dress, which must date back from the 50’s. It does present an inconvenient though: once you slip it on, impossible to breathe (but honestly who needs to breathe, it’s so overrated). Continue reading “WHO NEEDS TO BREATHE, DEAR? IT’S SO OVERRATED!”
THE WAR OF THE BUTTONS
Eleven buttons. This dress has eleven buttons on it. Eleven tiny buttons that you have to put through eleven minuscule button holes. In short, you have to be awake and alert to put this dress on and you better not be in a rush. Continue reading “THE WAR OF THE BUTTONS”
