When basking in Marbella’s sweltering Mediterranean sun, I like to return the favor and reflect back some sunshine! Latex swimsuits are not only a great match to your mirror sunglasses for that modern slick look but they are also unique in that they’ll never look wet after your pool / sea dip as the water just slides off the latex 💦
There are few places on earth where art and reality seem to melt into each other and the Lake Como region is one of those. A perfect detox spot due to the idyllic scenery, Bellagio also has what Italy does best, a cute small village with amazing food and amazing small stores filled with treasures! When in Bellagio, you’ll realize why Italy has been the source of inspiration for so many artists over the years and you’ll in turn give them a bit less credit 😜 no offense D&G (still think you’re amazing) but you’ll also awaken the stylist in you as all those beautiful finds you dig up in stores here and there will demand to be styled on your Italian alter ego!
The past few months have been very hectic for my family as we’re planning yet another move! A beach break however was a must prior to putting in motion all the planned logistics leading to our new home destination. Our first stop was Sardinia where I got inspiration from the local colors to style my OOTDs and enjoyed blending into the organic & rustic decor…
Since my neighborhood is celebrating flowers this week, I thought I’d join the party!
London’s climate this past weekend:
I got back a week ago from a trip to Dubai’s Palm Islands and we’ve been blessed with unseasonably warm weather in London so I didn’t quite get a chance to miss Dubai’s sunny charm… until this morning! Headed out early with the kids for breakfast and a familiar windy & cold London combo enrobed our walk… the city is blossoming however (see last pic) so we still decided to walk… Nevertheless, as soon as I got to the resto I took refuge in my iPhone’s Dubai snaps for some warmth!
Bubbled my way to blurry by sipping on my first guilt-free drink since Pregnancy #2! Yup I’m pretty much done with breastfeeding! I have a feeling I’ll have a couple more blurry London nights out coming up to celebrate the end of my abstention!
Finally… Kensington Gardens agree! We’ve had enough of winter and it’s time for both of us to switch to our spring colors!
The colors of my look today were inspired by #TheDress saga. It’s blue and black but I won’t judge if you see anything else (if anything I’m quite refreshed to learn we’re not all hardwired exactly the same way!) To finish the look I went for my hubby’s belt and scarf then snatched my daughter’s Petit Bateau umbrella to weather the London rain! PS: A senior British man’s comment cracked me up as I went to buy flowers (see below) this morning… He said as I walked by: “I think you need a new pair of jeans!”
Harmonious vivid colors go straight to my heart… 😍
For my latest OOTN I opted for a retro look focusing on 5 of my favorite retro fashion hits:
(1) Blouse with collar
(2) Midi skirt
(3) Kitten heels + Socks (retro patterned, laced or with a subtle add-on like a bow)
(4) Oversized 60s style (a la Jackie Kennedy) swing coat / of course featuring large buttons
(5) Structured small purse with a top handle
