Eclat d’Arpège by Lanvin is one of my favorite daily perfume. It’s elegant, refreshing and seductive and has a delicate and subtle floral fruity note that you can almost taste.
Un jardin sur le toit by Hermes, is inspired by the luxurious garden located on the Hermes headquarters building roof at 24 Rue Faubourg Saint-Honoré in Paris. It delivers a mix of fresh green grass and apples scent. The perfume’s box features a beautiful illustration of Parisian rooftops, conceived by Philip Dumas, Emile Hermes’s grandson.
For a natural and shiny effect, try the transparent mint Lemonade DiorKiss lip gloss. Le Couvent des Minimes lip balms (orange blossom, honey, mint or pear aroma) are delicious and soften cracked, dry and sensitive lips.
Finally, some fresh shades: take a look at the creamy salmon pink nail color by Chanel and discover the “vernis à lèvres” collection by Yves Saint Laurent.

So you surprised your boyfriend on a rainy evening with nothing under your trench but some sexy underwear? Amateur! I did it at work!
With this oh so pretty La Perla bra and a few sequins popping out of an elegant suit.
If you don’t feel ready to try this at work yet, there is nothing to be ashamed off! Start safe: date, cocktail, evening out…

I am a huge fan of the photographer Terry Richardson, so I felt like a kid in a candy store when I came across Lady Gaga’s and Terry Richardson’s book.
Unlike 99% of the planet, I had never been an expert on the Lady Gaga phenomenon. However, after I went through this book, which features an intimate and provocative portrayal of her character, I feel as if I understand her better. Her words about what she learned during this almost yearlong shoot were inspiring: “I discovered through him that shame is an obsolete notion… He finds beauty in the most intricate and unassuming of places… we must push the boundaries of culture through love and acceptance…”. 
My favorite picture captures her customizing her jacket, as if Richardson catched her just at the right moment, during an impulsive act of creativity.

This bolero called “Colors of Life” was created by the Belgian artist Arlette Vermeiren with recycled materials for Maurizio Galante‘s haute couture spring/summer 2011 collection.
An extravagant piece that makes a strong point about the boundaries between poor and luxury materials. It’s great to realise how all those objects that just go to waste can still be full of potential.
