An Irresistible Christmas

· Beauty, Fashion

I recently had the chance to receive an early Christmas gift from Givenchy: “Live Irrésistible” Eau de Parfum with fruity and floral notes.

You probably know the advertising campaign with the pretty and effervescent muse Amanda Seyfried : a lot of pink, loads of Happy, abundance of fun for an irresistible cocktail !

 

Happy & irresistible holidays

For this year end, I recreated this universe by adding a touch of Christmas spirit. I hope you will like the result with sprinkles of glitter sequins and cinnamon.

I really enjoyed imagining and creating these animated photos and I hope from the bottom of my heart that 2017 will reveal itself as irresistible as this pretty greeting card announces.


 

Happy messages !

By the way, for this occasion, Givenchy had the excellent idea to let you personalize your greeting cards. Indeed, you just need to go to the site Popcarte before December 18th, to choose amongst the 3 models of “Happy messages”, to add your own text and even your favourite photo.

The card will be then sent for free by mail: Isn’t it amazing? No, it’s not amazing… it’s irresistible!

Party dress

· Fashion

December is finally here! I am currently in Hamburg in order to immerse myself in the Christmas spirit and I took advantage of my stay at the Renaissance Hamburg hotel to take these shots of my last acquisition in term of party outfit.

The finishes of this dress are really perfect whether it is the lace or the inside slip, which give a nice drop to this dress. While you are preparing the festivities, on my side, I am going to the Christmas market to get my fill of decorations. (English translation by Quiterie)

Five senses #4

· Beauty, Decoration, Fashion, Food

It’s been a while since the last time I showed you what had awaken my 5 senses : so let’s not waste one more minute!

 

Sight

Lately, I must be hibernating because I spent all the last weekends at home, wearing pyjamas, to read in bed or on the sofa with a blanket.

Following my unbelievable confession, I’ve started reading Harry Potter and finished the first tome (book + movie!).

Pyjama Boden
Mug Bloomingville

I found the lecture pleasant and the movie quite faithful. Therefore I’m continuing my reading by starting the second book! I’m not crazy about it yet but it’s supposed to become at the 3rd or 4th tome: I’m looking forward to it!

 

Hearing

CD album Tom Chaplin “The Wave” (to listen here)

My beloved band Keane broke up (at least for now) but its leader Tom Chaplin recently released it’s solo album “The wave” so I was curious to listen it.

The style of this solo album doesn’t really change from the style of Keane (melodious songs and Tom’s angel voice…): here is probably why I really appreciate it and listen it with pleasure while drawing or during my hibernation days. A bit of lightness in this world of heavies !

 

Smell

“Skin Mat” serum and smoothing fluid “Idéal Resource” Darphin
“Niaouli aromatic care” oil Darphin
Refreshing toner with banana tree flower Darphin

Cleansing foam gel with water lily & Cleansing/toning brush Darphin

 

I am a fan of the Darphin products that I discovered at the beginning of September after accepting an invitation by the Darphin Institute to do a skin check up: I have a combination skin (oily T zone and dehydrated cheeks).

They advised me on a daily routine that I’ve been following for the past 3 months (that you will find by rolling out the comments on this picture) and I must admit that I’m convinced as my skin is a way less shiny during the day but remains soft and hydrated. Miracle !

Illuminating oil gel cream and “Lumière essentielle” serum Darphin

 

I recently received their new range of products called “Lumière essentielle” to help ameliorate the skin radiance.

I haven’t had time to try it out yet but I will let you know anyway: I thinking about alternating with my daily routine, when my skin will look tired. No matter what, the perfume of citrus fruit is very pleasant, kind of sweet while being discreet… Promising !

 

Taste

I wanted to share with you 4 foodie Instagram accounts that I love following:

@vickiee_yo : Based in Melbourne, Vicky amazes me with her colourful biscuits always so perfectly made!

@girleatworld : when we mix travel and food in the same picture, it can only strikes a positive cord !

@kristinalechner : a foodie photo account… but without food ! Visually yummy but without calories! Impressive!

@aww.sam : a very colourful account again which mixes rainbow colours pastries and super original tacos, cotton candy and bubble tea costumes!

 

Touch

Because of the freezing weather, I took out of my closet my cashmere pullovers that I’ve been ordering since last year on La Redoute.

They are soft, light while being warm but without bobbling! Little by little I’ve been trying to make a stock.

Cashemere jumpers R Essentiel (-40%)
(already seen in my normal size here and in one size bigger here or there)

 

First, I was buying my size but this year I like wearing them loose so I order one size bigger and it’s perfect ! To tell you everything, lately I’ve got an eye on the turtlenecks. (English translation by Quiterie)
