Even bigger for all -blonde- humanity. I am extremely happy and proud (and did I say happy?) to be Redken‘s fashion ambassador (following the steps of the one and only Chiara). And since hair is a serious matter (especially you blonde girls feel me) and I, finally, am relieved of -going to the hairdressers- anxiety, not only will I live longer, I will also share all Redkens‘ professional well kept secrets.
There will be hair do tutorials, tips & tricks on how to achieve the perfect color, styling advise and the newest in haircare (all with product name dropping) for you to have the best hair possible. That is gorgeous looking, healthy (and LONGER, that I was promised!) hair every day.
Getting my print on (and this time I totally behaved, same print, I’ve overcome myself!), getting my cat eye sunnies on, getting my high heeled leather sandals on and as for attitude… definitely ON.
Could easily be sharing a prosecco, seaside, in Positano listening to Pink Martini and admiring well, everything. But then again, I couldn’t, so let’s say I did.

Flowers (more like blossoming bouquets) in the hair, bold-colored maxi cotton dresses with lace backs and feminine ties, high waisted bandeau bikinis and the very distinctive signature Madame Shou Shou bows. Elina Kordali is bringing old school beauty back and we girls couldn’t be happier.
Taking backstage pics for Madame Shou Shou‘s new SS collection I was instantly transported in an era long gone (very beautiful and why not, very present), with pretty, innocent, carefree and very elegantly, dressed for their age girls.
Get your sunhat and your (boy approved) bow swimsuit on and off to a secret beach (fyi the magic setting was no other than the KAPE beach near Sounio).
Meet you there?

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

Get ready for battle. Good luck to all!
