WHEN A COUCHE BECOMES THE TRAVEL REFERENCE
LAST WEEK I VISITED PARIS WITH MY DEAR FRIEND MARIE. PARIS WAS CROWDED OR AT LEAST THE HOTELS WERE ALL BOOKED OUT. INDEED, THE FAMOUS FRENCH TENNIS TOURNAMENT ROLAND GARROS WAS HAPPENING ON THE SAME WEEK/WEEKEND AND THERE WERE OTHER FAIRS TAKING PLACE AROUND AND IN PARIS. AS I LOVE DESIGN, I THOUGHT OF BOOKING US AN HOTEL WITH A SPECIAL LOBBY, AT LEAST TO ME. THE NEW HOTEL LE VOLTAIRE LOCATED IN LE 11EME ARRONDISSEMENTS, A LOVELY NEIGHBORHOOD NORTHWEST FROM LE MARAIS AND VERY CLOSED TO THE PLACE DE LA BASTILLE, HAS A BEAUTIFUL COUCH IN ITS LOBBY. ONE OF MY FAVORITE SWISS BRAND, DE SEDE, DESIGNS INCREDIBLE SOFA.…

PARIS, RUINART & VIK
A month ago I had the chance to travel to Paris and Reims with Ruinart, the oldest (1729) and famous champagne Maison. It was a dreamy experience as Ruinart is definitely my favorite champagne not only to sip but also to learn from. Indeed, every year Ruinart collaborates with an artist who creates and interprets his vision of the champagne house and its domain through several artworks. This year, Vik Muniz, the Brazilian sculptor famous for his unorthodox choices of material for his art compositions was chosen and revealed as the Ruinart’s artist 2019. After checking-in into the beautiful Hôtel National des Arts et Métiers in the 3ème arrondissement de…

Un voyage à Bordeaux Aux Sources de Caudalie
It has been a while that I have not been to a spa as splendid as Les Sources de Caudalie. Located in the countryside of Bordeaux you will fell in love with this place. Let me draw you the picture; drive 15 minutes away south from the city center of Bordeaux, and you will enter a magical scenery full of vineyards and castles. The region of Bordeaux (Gironde) is famous for their red wine. Almost every wine estate possesses its own castle, or vice versa. It’s a beautiful region where nature and wine will make you daydream. I highly recommend you to visit some wine estate to try some…

Two weeks left
I cannot believe it, or maybe I don’t want to believe it! I have two weeks left in NYC…what a drama! I don’t feel like leaving at all. Work is great, the team is amazing, the city has still so many places to be explored, and of course my friends here. I know.. what a bitch! Nooo, don’t get me wrong here, I’m happy to go back to my family friends and love Forti, as well as to be back in the comfort of Switzerland and to finally move in Zueeeeri. I mean this is New York City and The Row that I’m talking about! Just my Dream City and…

SPICE UP YOUR LOOK
Here is a black everything look (except for the bag) with really exciting and interesting pieces. Let’s start, from head to toes. I received this super lovely hat from A Lack of Color, for those who don’t about this brand, it is a quite famous Aussie label who creates beautiful hats. A mixture of light bohemian vibes and inspirations from the Seventies.. their hats are the Bomb! I picked this black one (I hope you know me by now) probably because of my dark hair and its fresh and Mediterranean design style. It’s called ‘Spencer Noir‘ in case you are wondering. The next very interesting item of this look is my…

The chicest attire for a pool day
So, following my birthday chill day (article), I also wanted to do something special in order to mark the occasion. So, again with Laura and my friend Miranda, we booked a sunbed for three at the pool of the William Vale Hotel for the day. The hotel is located in Williamsburg almost in Greenpoint though..and the view is just superb – the whole Manhattan skyline! However, the pool is not as high as the Westlight, the rooftop bar at the top, but still, the place is a little heaven in Brooklyn. I’ve always wanted to chill one day by a pool on a rooftop in the middle of the city,…

Get away in Ascona
So a month ago I joined my beautiful friend Maya on a two days vacay at the Eden Roc Hotel in Ascona, Ticino. The sun, palm trees, the lake, the warm temperatures and the language – Italian, yes everything is united to make you believe that you are in Italy. Well, Ascona is located in Switzerland at the border of the Italian frontier which makes your stay even better. No need to change money or anything – you’re in one of the most beautiful regions of Switzerland. Seriously, the view from the hotel is spectacular. You can read some books and chill out while having literally your bare feet in the…

Nude from head to toes
MAC COSMETICS CREME D’NUDE LINE When you’re addicted to nude and you wear a complete look including makeup and perfume. This is what happened back in our suite in the Victoria-Jungfrau Hotel. So basically, MAC Cosmetics launched earlier this year a line of scents (shadescents) which derives from their best seller & favorite lipsticks – Ruby Woo, Velvet Teddy & Crème d’Nude for example. It is no surprise that I got the Crème d’Nude lipstick and its fragrance. I like to mix the lipstick with darker tones as well. The perfume smells incredible, it contains musk and brings a delicate velvet scent. Very light the fragrance is perfect to wear…

It’s all AboutYOU
Back to Interlaken for this look – fully created through the shopping website; AboutYou. I know it wasn’t springtime yet but the sun was out and I felt like wearing a mini skirt. We shot this outfit during the beautiful sunset over Interlaken – trust me it was stunning. You can feel the layers of the sun through the photographs. It was funny how shooting against the powerful sunset created a delicate and shiny line all around my silhouette. I love this graphic outfit, with the most comfortable sweater from Love Moschino. I took it large, to wear it as an oversized hoodie on a pretty skirt. I think it would…

Enter SPA Nescens in Interlaken
As you probably have seen on my Instagram account, I had the chance to stay at the beautiful Victoria-Jungfrau Hotel in Interlaken. It was definitely one of my best experience I had ever lived while traveling. Swiss hospitality is very renamed but as Swiss, we sometimes miss the opportunity to experience it and mostly travel abroad. It does sound a bit sad because Switzerland has so many landscapes, diversity, and incredible sceneries to offer, from the Mediteraeane feeling in Tessin to the Alps and their ski resorts passing through the beautiful cities and lakes. To prove my point, I have been traveling quite a lot around Swiss cantons and it was…
