One of my favorite moments of the day, especially to take pictures, is what we call “golden hour”, a beautiful golden light, right after sunrise or before sunset. This light is not only gorgeous, it’s also very flattering for the skin, the eyes, and it miraculously erases little flaws, usually more visible when light isn’t as gold as it is during this magical moment.

The Fall/Winter 2014 GIVENCHY Beauty collection, called Extravagancia, inspired me a beautiful golden make up, perfect to go out at night in winter and to make the famous Golden Hour last on your face after … READ MORE

Roosevelt Island. One of my favorite places in New York, maybe because I can see it from my apartment, and because of the cable car you have to take to get there, along the Queensboro Bridge, above the 59th street and the East River.

But it’s not the only reasons! Most of the “tourists” go there only to get the view at 76m high, and I totally understand – there are so many things to do and to see in New York that it’s already nice to find time to take the cable car.

But I also like to … READ MORE

It’s a bit confusing these days : it’s cold, you think winter is coming, you get your tights and coats out again, and the day after, it’s almost 70°F, you wear your stilettos barefoot, and you go out without a jacket on. There’s no seasons anymore, my friends!

However, something remains : the wind. “A wind that could blow off the horns of the local bulls”, as we say in French – and yes, I do have country roots. It makes the shooting of the outfits pretty complicated! Before, when it was windy, I would tie my hair back … READ MORE

I’ve decided to start a new section on the blog : the “Remix and Match” !

The idea came to me when I was dressing up yesterday morning (watch out : here comes the fashion blogger’s metaphysical thought)… On fashion blogs, we almost never wear the same clothes twice. Accessories, yes, quite often, but clothes… not so much. Almost never, actually. Whereas in real life, we wear the same clothes over and over again.

The principle of the blog itself makes it ambiguous. We had talked about it in a long article here, when I told you last … READ MORE

It took a rainy Saturday for me to finally find the time to dive into the pictures from our weekend in Chicago!

I always have some delayed articles in my drawers (the end of NY Fashion Week, the end of my Australian trip with my first flight in a balloon and the underwater pictures of the Great Barrier Reef, for instance…) and I usually put myself under a lot of stress for being late with all these pictures to sort and edit. But lately, I understood that what you really care about are my daily outfits, and that there is … READ MORE
