What happened?!

2012-05-08T13:56:00.002+02:00

Blogging has been quite a new experience and adventure for me, although it’s not always easy to find time to do it. Talking about fashion, travels and sharing with all of you my fashion thoughts has been amazing ...But I think it's time to change, to think about what I want to do in my life, my goals and the decisions I want to make. If you want to be happy you have to seek for it, figure out what you really want from life and go get it! That's what I'm trying to do now.. Let’s see what happens with the blog.. Love, CB

Good morning to you all! How have you been? These weeks are really crazy, as you all know NY is full of magnificent fashionistas:D Here are a few of the many fashion shows I want to show you:

Jenny Packham: very colorfull dresses in every possible lenght, what do you say? I totally adore it!

Although Luca Luca is quite new to me, I began to really love the textures and the color combination used!

Preen is giving us some fresh textures and colours, I can totally see many fashion people wearing these pieces next season :)

Zac Posen has never let us down with his amazing gowns, and this season is no exception! One word: LOVELY!

Reem Acra is another one that does not let us down in terms of amazing gowns! Très chic, n'est-ce pas?

And last but not least is my personal fashion idol show: Victoria Beckham. No words are needed to describe the beautiful and extremely elegant and luxurious dresses she presents! It differs a lot from the last collections, it shows us how she's growing as a stylist and what amazing cuts she's experimenting!

Enjoy and stay tuned for more!
Love,

"today I don't feel like doing anything..."

2011-08-18T09:41:00.000+02:00

Some days I wake up and just feel like doing nothing..that's way the best song that describes my mood these days is by Bruno Mars, the lazy song..latest obsession;)
A part from that, I still love to browse on the web and find new inspiration for my fashion life! And these are the best one I found lately..Enjoy!

Love,

New In!

2011-08-12T16:04:00.000+02:00

Hi Dolls!
after having wanted glasses for almost my whole teen years but never actually needed them, I finally discovered that I need them (just from far away and no need to wear them all the time) and I'm so incredibly happy that finally I can buy the most amazing eyewear out there! hahaha
So I looked everywhere for any possible kind of glasses and the best ones I found so far are these Chanel ones, classic yet a bit stylish..what do you think? I'll soon post a pic of me wearing them on twitter so stay tuned!

Love,

7 things

2011-07-21T10:32:00.001+02:00

Since a lot have happened in the past month, I thought that I needed to come back with my 7 things..those things that inspired me lately.

1° This floating pink dress is exactly what my dream-dress looks like! I’m not blonde, and I wouldn’t wear it with black pumps but it was just to give you an idea!

2° Since I started with a gown why not continue with another one? Yes, this is Cheryl Cole in this beautiful champagne coloured dress paired with red accessories. Lovely.

3° Charlotte Casiraghi is known for her inherent style, yet she transforms an LBD in something new. Of course is a pleated, one shoulder, made of an exquisite material LBD.

4° Although I’m in love with panama hats, I’m so tired of seeing them EVERYWHERE! So I decided this is the new “cool hat”..at least for me;)

5° Summer is all about colourful nights spent with friends, and this picture couldn’t capture it in a better way. (from alltheprettybirds.com)

6° Gossip Girl is back on! Bring in the new style! 

7° Only Olivia Palermo could rock a “city-yet-stylish-casual” outfit. Copy it from head to toe!

CB

7 things that caught my eye recently:

The background of what I'm dreaming right now.

This beach cover up is lovely, so retro! From Topshop.

Perfect sandal to go to the beach: very chic, very colorfull and very confortable! From Topshop.

In loooove with the beach version of the peek a boo

What else do I need after this perfect binkin with skulls? Oh yeah, a tan!

And last but not least one of the items on top of my wishlist: the Christian Dior "Zeli" sunglasses.

Love,

Olivia Palermo in Charlotte Olympia

2011-05-20T15:17:00.000+02:00

Olivia Palermo was recently spotted in NY with a "man-inspired look": a black suit, white shirt and a jewelery brooch that stopped the black tie. The accessories (as usual) were the key items of the look, leopard print pumps and an amazing plexiglass clutch both from amazing designer Charlotte Olympia.

Have a wonderful week-end!
Love,

After 12 days of absence, here I am and I’ve chosen these 7 things that are in my mind this week ..

I decided to begin with a pic of New York. Does it need any words?

Since I was a kid I’ve always liked sparkly. It’s shiny and it makes me smile and when I grew up I found out that when sparkly is combined with shoes I just cannot resist! :D This are the shoes I’m thinking about right now! Should I or should I not?

This Louis Vuitton bag is TDF. The bag is attached by a small chain to a cuff covered in diamonds that must be worn as a bracelet. Isn’t the idea so nice and new? I’m so in love with it, but I guess it will have to wait..did I mention that is made in crocodile and it has diamonds????? Price is upon request…

This shade of pink for a Birkin reminds me of a Barbie, yet is so girlish that I decided it will be a must have for me. Not a season must have but a life must have ;)

A gold watch is what I need right now.. Gold is on trend more than ever!

Frozen yoghurt – If well done, this can be as satisfactory as a piece of chocolate during colder times and yet so much lighter in calories! I’ve been trying lot of different tastes and as soon as I figure out which I like the most I’ll share the recipe with all of you!!

And how could I not post my all-time spring favourite drink? A sangria is perfect for those warmer nights spent with friends in the back yard.

Beauty tips

2011-05-06T08:35:00.000+02:00

Good morning to you all! TGIF!!!! Let the week-end begin ;)

This past week has been kind of intense, I will tell you all the new projects as soon as they get more concrete. But as a typical Friday post, let’s start with today’s beauty routine in terms of make up. I’ve never been a fan of wearing too much make up, or actually I had a phase when I was like 15 where I would wear eye shadows, eyeliner, glossy, foundation.. but thanks god those days are gone! I really like a natural make up, the one that “is there but it doesn’t look like”, that gives a feminine glow without hiding every woman’s beauty!
So, even though I’m no expert at all, here is a list of the few things I use for my everyday make up:

I start with this powder, Soleil Tan de Chanel, it magically hides all the imperfections without making my skin feel heavy. Totally recommend it!

After I apply a black pencil on the bottom of my eye, and the best I’ve found so far is “le crayon khol” again from Chanel.

Last, but not least, I use my new discovery: Maybelline One by One. After having asked millions of people, having tried millions of mascara I must say that Maybelline just got it right. It’s very easy to apply I can guarantee you that the result it’s just amazing!

When I want to feel different, a bit more particular or a bit more sexy I just use these 2 lipsticks:
The first one is from Chanel while the fuxia is from Dior..no need for any other colour! :)
What do you use as an every day make up? Send me your comments or your tips;)

Love,
CB

A scent is worth a thousand words

2011-05-04T15:34:00.000+02:00

It was 1921 when Mademoiselle Coco Chanel invented a scent that it will later become what is now known as “the perfume”. Not any perfume, but the one chose by her in person, a mix of jasmine and ylang ylang made real by chemist Ernest Beaux. Chanel N°5: a simple name and bottle that contains Coco’s super exquisite fragrance.

During the 50’s Marilyn Monroe was the testimonial that helped to create the magic that surrounds this perfume, and many years after and many testimonials after, N°5 has left a permanent mark in the sector and it’s still the best selling fragrance.

For this, and many other reasons, in 2007 I chose this perfume and ever since I have never abandoned it. It just makes me feel more feminine and as Marilyn once said, "I go to bed wearing only two drops of Chanel N°5"..
What else needs to be said?
We are now celebrating 90 years of this magic fragrance..Thank you Coco and happy birthday N°5!
Love,
CB

Beauty treatments

2011-04-29T08:40:00.000+02:00

Hello everyone!
Even though you probably don't know me very well yet, I decided it was the right time to share with you my "everyday beauty treatments". Honestly I've never been a fan of make up nor creams, although I know every woman should take care of herself I admit I'm waaay to lazy. Or at least I was! :) Yes cause since I received a package full of Clinique products I’ve actually started to like the ritual of putting cream all over my body every single night! Let’s start from the bottom, and remember that as I told you, I’m not an expert so any advice would be highly appreciated ;)

This is the cream I use for my feet, every day after the shower I put on a lot of cream and then put on the socks..for sure is not sexy (hahaha) but believe Me when I say your feet will feel incredibly soft!

Going up we have the legs one of the most important part of the body, needless to say that exercising helps them to be more toned! What I use is this butter cream from Sanctuary Covent Garden Spa, is just amazing so deeply nourishing yet it feels so light on the skin!

After the legs it’s time to take care of the hands too, and I usually use one of the most famous creams: The 8 hour cream by Elisabeth Arden (btw I sometimes use also their lip balm, because it gives such a nice look)

Last, but not least, we have the face: I’ve started to use this amazing cream by Clinique and I must admit that my skin is now prettier than ever <3 <3 <3

Together with my face’s cream I also use this “it’s all about the eyes” by Clinique which instantly gives an amazing feeling!

During warmer months, and mostly at the beach, I use this refreshing spray which instantly gives a cool feeling!

Hope you all enjoyed my tips for beauty care :)
Love,
CB

Back after easter for the "5 Things"..

2011-04-28T08:35:00.002+02:00

Hello everyone!
Yet again the week has started…but it’s already ending!!!! Ahahhaha Lovin’ it!
How was your Easter? Did you eat a lot of chocolate bunnies/eggs? :D I did! Hehehe I also chilled on the sun, relaxed a lot and spent an amazing time with friends and family!
There are currently a few things that make me smile, and in particular I’ve chosen 5 out of it..

A pink outfit reminds me of Barbie, of candies and although it’s kind of obvious it’s just so girlish and I just love it right now <3

There was a time where I hated mixing gold and silver jewelry..but that time is gone! This picture represents my change of mind, these two colours together can look great!

I really like cat eye sunglasses, I’ve liked them since I first saw them on Olivia Palermo..and although I already own a pair I WANT these new ones by Tom Ford!

A really small tattoo that I only share with one of the most important persons in my life, my best friend Isabella!

My favourite summertime dish

Hope you enjoy today's post!
Love,
CB

Dreaming..

2011-04-22T12:15:00.000+02:00

Good morning to you all!!!!
Today I want to talk about walk-in closets..that little piece of paradise located inside many houses or apartments. Since I was a child I’ve always dreamed of having one, even if really small, to be able to have in front of my eyes all those shoes, bags or dresses that makes me smile and makes me happy as well..Yes, the right pair of shoes, or a bag I simply adore have this power: they make me a happy person! hehehehhee
Every time I browse the web I’m always looking for some kind of inspiration, and the blog called Cupcakes & Cashmere has become one of my favourites..it’s full full of great ideas for both outfits and interior decoration! If you want and have time, and maybe you are decorating your house or just want to renew it, check out this blog!
In the meantime, however, I want to show you some ideas I found on the internet, what do you say?
Do you feel the need of having a walk-in closet in the style of “Sex & the City” too?!?! :D

As you probably may have seen I posted this pic on twitter yesterday..and again, I’m speechless!!!!

This wonderful white and pinkish closet just caught my eye!

Do I need to say something? It’s Carry <3

Simply, clean and classic..a must have!

A bit too over the top for my taste…

Eva Longoria shows us how a brown coloured closet can have that elegant/high class British style!

With love,
CB

And, here I am!

2011-04-18T14:31:00.000+02:00

Hello hello out there!! How is everything? I've been quite busy, so sorry for the lack of posts :( And although today is a veeery short post, I HAD to show you this pic. Kanye totally loves to experiment in fashion, and we should give him credits for that..in the end he is part of the show biz, so he can wear whatever he wants right? ;) Here is a picture of him wearing a woman's shirt from the Celine Spring 11 collection. What do you think, in or out?

Maxi Lenghts

2011-03-24T08:39:00.000+01:00

Bonjour tout le monde!
Days are passing by so fast(I didn't even realize that spring already began!!) and this is the reason why I'm not able to write every day. Even though I want to time isn't enough for me..days should be longer! I've been saying this for at least 10 years! hehehe
Anyway, since warm weather is slowly coming (have you noticed that in the morning there are like 10°C now??) today's post is about maxi lenghts such as maxi skirt or maxi dresses, which by the way I totally love..do you?

Hope you enjoy it!
Love,
CB
