How to avoid superfluous details
Hello Mesdames! You may have noticed that some pieces of your wardrobe are really complicated to combine with others. Two explanations for that: – they are very interesting and stylish pieces that are self-sufficient and that you should combine with basics (if you are not an accomplished fashionista yet) – they contain what I call […]
The decoration element you need to have amazing style
I want to talk about… full-length mirror! Without it, you’ll be unable to acknowledge your silhouette as a whole. You need it to balance the volumes, the colors, the prints, and accessories in your outfits. And if the reason you do not own one is a lack of love of your body I swear you […]

Bathing suit choice and peer pressure
I do not buy a bathing suit each year. Instead, I tend to wait until they surrender because I hate the task of hunting one. You are no stranger to the horrendous spotlights from the stores that create us cellulite in places we would never have guessed. Last time I bought a bathing suit was […]
Trousers to wear in summer
When thinking of summer one spontaneously thinks dresses, skirts and shorts. What about wearing summer trousers? They are so chic and can feel as light as the if you choose them right. Plus they avoid any stickiness in the innertights and that’s another (less glam) benefit. I/ What fabric for summer pants? Cottons, linen and […]
What comfy shoes to wear in summer?
Yesterday my friend Lan Anh and I were discussing the hot topic of summer shoes (amongst talking global warming action, hiking in the woods and problematic police, we are clever girls who ALSO discuss shoes).
