The other day a friend of mine said to me that this time of year – Autumn in New York – is her favorite time of year, because she could finally layer again. I agreed with her, yet I dread the idea of having winter on my doorstep. I mean, I love layer too, but New York winters can be terribly cold, and I find it hard to step out in anything else that a “sleeping bag” aka a puffer coat that won’t even leave my ankles out to freeze… And in those spirits I started my research on “the perfect winter-proof coats” that are not only functional, but also absolute must-haves this season!
Last week I made one of the nicest – and shortest – trips to LA ever in my career: for the official press launch of the ERDEM x H&M collection. And I can truly say that my trip was so short, that there wasn’t even time to do anything else but dress up for the event, go to the event, and pack-up my suitcases to fly back to New York again. Yet, the magic of LA in combination with the extremely amazing #ERDEMXHM collection, left me with memories I can live on for a long long time…
I know Labour Day is behind us – which in the US means we shouldn’t wear white any longer, as this national holiday marks “the end of summer” – but summer isn’t over, yet! Especially not in New York, where we live, and still have the AC running full speed, nor in Paris, where I’m jetting off to at the end of the month. And I know, because the end of September marks two special moments for me: First and foremost, it’s my birthday! And secondly, I’ve been going to Paris Fashion Week for quite some seasons now, and September is still ALWAYS hot that time of year. Soooo, tradition or no tradition, I choose to not adapt to this one for now, and keep on wearing white for as long as the weather allows me…
Oh my god, we are already halfway through September! New York and London Fashion Weeks are behind us, Milan still in full swing, and the first day of school has passed. Whenever I get back to you after a – too long – blog absence I feel like starting with that thing where we say the cliché “where did the time go”. Yet, as we all know too, time flies when we are having fun! And so much fun I had in New York last week, living the Parisian life through Big Apple glasses…
I care a lot about my skin, so the journey to find the perfect skin care routine is never really over. The past years I’ve tried many different beauty products, some were extremely expensive, but didn’t give me what I was looking for, others were simple drug store brands and did the trick. I believe it doesn’t matter what brand is on the bottle, but that you use what works for your skin, what gives you that amazing glow, and helps in getting closer to that “perfect skin” feeling. SK-II is one of those brands. One I always knew about, but never used before. So the excitement when I got to try their new Facial Treatment Essence was big, and quickly it became one of the most important parts of my routine….
