Time for budding, blossoming, blooming and flowering. It’s summer. It’s heyday.
Showing my appreciation of all things joy inducing on this extra sunny and totally perfect day by walking around carefree, needlepoint flowers on my top (and more on my arm), in total vibrant white and comfy paisley print wedges, almost forgetting I’m in my city and giggling with my BFF like we are 5 again.
On an uncut version of this post you would have seen us braiding each others hair and bonding over ice cream(s).
Maybe next time?
Wearing Bershka top (similar here), H&M skirt, wedges, Uterque flower cuff, vintage belt, River Island bag (a nice ethnic version here)
This is a post documenting the sickest boots I (so far) own, my love for Vitamin D and the trending denim jacket around the waist imagery.
Posing long enough to get thrice mosquito bitten, walking around all stripes and full of shoe pride (hearing my own boots cluck hissing, like I’m about to saddle up a horse)- which I could by the way- I quickly managed to build a solid rationale on why I should -immediately after- eat a scoop of ice cream. Cookie flavored with nutella chunks it was. I call it ethical compensation to blogging.
Good hair day? If Redken has anything to do with it, YES. Every. Single. Day.
Don’t believe me? Take a look at the one and only Chiara Ferragni. Being the Global Fashion Ambassador for Redken (lucky girl!) she got to try the hottest hair trends created by the hands of hair guru and Redken Global Styling Director Guido Palau.
12 fabulous hairstyles (that made editing these photos quite a task!) which complimented her already perfect signature blonde, named Front Row Facets.
1. Shine in the city (A sleek, straight style that’s low on maintenance and high on shine)
2. Indie Icon (The updo gets fierce with volume at the crown, a ponytail in back and intense shine all over)
3.Faux Factor (Showoff a short cut – without making the commitment – with this slicked back, shiny faux bob)
4.Sideways (A deep side part, loose texture and intense shine amp up the interest in this easy-to-wear style)
5.Twist & Tweet ( A playful style with messy, shiny volume on top and a tamed twist on the side)
6.Ripple Effect (Loose finger waves shine bright for an effortlessly chic style)
7.Forget Me knot (Casual elegance at its best with a loose knot, soft pieces, allover shine and sweet embellishments)
8.Chic & Sleek (A classic ponytail always looks polished and pulled together)
9.Sweet & Low (A low ponytail gets a modern update with a center part and loose soft strands)
10.Bohemian Wrapsody (An angelic and ethereal style takes shape with braids that wrap around and shine for a halo effect)
11.Flawless Fashionista (A classic style goes sleek and shiny -with a twist – that winds up in back)
12.Sideline Sparkle (A sleek side part gets the straight, ultra shiny treatment with brilliant results)
My favorite has to be Chic & Sleek, it’s so polished and modern. Which one will you be sporting first?
And for those who made it to the the bottom of the post (congrats, it was really long!), here’s a little secret nobody knows (just yet).
When there’s a Powerpoint presentation with your name under Chiara Ferragnis, you know good things are about to happen. Stay tuned and treat your hair!
The minute I step foot in Paris, I get green with envy with the Parisian girls unsophisticated, effortless style.
I follow one around, dressed in dark skinny jeans, pointed toe flats and a crisp white shirt and we enter Maje. While we shop together I quickly glance at her and the Chic Girls Uniform stays the same. Monochrome. After trying (and buying) a girly ruffled skirted dress with a grey cotton top, I see her putting on her cat eye Celine sunglasses and storming out.
Keeping on my fashion surveillance, I spot more and more of utterly stylish girls, not provocative at all, with beautifully unkempt hair, leather flat booties and tailored blazers. Minimum but statement jewelry, all metal and no sparkle and I’m not sure if Emanuelle Alt is inspiring these girls or it’s the other way around.
It’s when I hear them talk though, that I really want to be French.
Aka if I was floating on an ocean somewhere, chances are you wouldn’t be reading anymore of this blog.
Lucky me my gang of Moorea sharks is really friendly and totally photogenic (pic No2), as well as eternally captured on this pouch. And since I’m -sadly- not visiting the French Polynesia anytime soon, this is all I’ve got to add an exotic vibe to my everyday.
Easter Essentials Blogger Edition for -my everyday obsession of a site- Miss Bloom
Double back handspring not only for Easter holidays but because I get to share with you what I will be packing!
Mission: total relaxation & a bit of tanning (tired of looking like Casper the friendly ghost).
Secret Agent Tools: kick ass sandals of Hellenic descent, heavenly scented sunscreen, chameleon white shirt/dress, a good read (Paper Aeroplanes) and tons of magazines, a bucolic chic super stylish bag filled with just one vibrant pink lipstick and a spotlight stealer bathing suit
Enemies: The ever present tempting ice cream and the occasional fried fresh catch.
Get ready for battle. Good luck to all!

This is why I like to travel by car. I don’t have to discriminate. You know, things have feelings too and they do not like to be left behind. But since I don’t actually own a truck and I will be carrying my own suitcase, some kind of selection must be made.
Starting with these fabric knot necklaces, which are handmade and actually pretty easy to make (DIY alert – you can choose any kind of print you like), that I will sport with an oversized white tee and cropped jacket.
My newest obsession, these natural coral designs are a bit heavier than expected but worth the heavy lifting effort. Totally attention grabbing, even with the casuel-est of outfits. I’m planning to wear them with a monochrome crop top and loose pants.
Things get serious here, choker time. When a statement needs to be made, these agate and brass necklaces will do the trick with ease. It actually doesn’t matter what else you will be wearing cause they are destined to steal the spotlight.
For a modish yet chic appearance, this multirow pearl-stone-bead necklace will come in handy, as it can seamlessly transform a simple gray sweater and denim cut offs combo. Loving the colors and I’m definitely not going anywhere without my favorite stone, amethyst.
Plexiglass base, bold stones and neon rope. Personally, I jumped the transparent trendwagon a long time ago and I’m not getting off any time soon. I love to draw the attention on just one piece of jewelry and these are already on the compliments top list.
Even if I end up skiing on a mountain slope this Easter, these two scream summer and they are coming with. Can’t wait to make a design of my own with real sea shells from the beach (amen).
Color, color, color. As an avid fun of anything vibrant, these cute numbers are perfect for layering (I’m sorry Coco, this time, I won’t take anything off) and I will wear them with printed shirts, rompers and even my bathing suit.
If you all agree, (necklace) case closed. Time to move on to bathing suits (faint).
Happy Easter everyone!
(In order of appearance: fabric & coral necklaces, agate chokers , multirow stone necklace and plexiglass necklaces all handmade soon on www.allyouneedisstyle.tictail.com, coral and starfish necklaces by Suite Blanco and colorful bauble necklaces by Pull & Bear and Bershka respectively.)
Yes, the feminine garment you keep in your top drawer and sporadically wear. Pull it out. Time to get in touch with your well hidden burlesque side while staying stylishly vanguard. Take the crop top trend a step further, yes you can, by putting on your favorite piece of lingerie over a white t-shirt, paired with slouchy pants and a soft colored cardigan, or under a button down knotted in the belly.
Just as I was starting to fully adapt in everyday auto pilot mode, my ultra favorite Refinery29 jumps in and reminds me of Paris Fashion Week, freezing cold temperatures and sizzling hot (and haute) fashion.
So there I am, in Palais de Tokyo, dressed in ΣΟΜΦ and H&M white wedges, bare legged at 4 degrees (or maybe it was 2 I was too frozen to care) while in my defense, I’m wearing socks. At this happy, slightly shaky fashionista state I got snapped by the lovely Christian Vierig of The Styleograph.
But does it really matter, when my take on trends is described as one “even Regina George couldn’t master as flawlessly”? Carlye Wisel your words set firecrackers off.
