Peter, the new summer apartment buddy
For those who can recall, living in an “Altbauwohnung” (apartment in an old building) in the middle of the city center can be tricky. I am the first defender of old apartments don’t get me wrong. I love to hear original wooden floor cracking under footsteps and the high-ceilings, higher than ever. If you got the kitchen and the bathroom renovated you might have won the jackpot. It’s truly charismatic and each apartment has its own vibe. The only minor detail is that often old buildings have bad isolations and windows, which means that over the summer it gets really hot and really quickly. Last summer, there was a heatwave in Zürich and it…

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…

Took off to NYC one year ago
I have not really shared more of my voyage in New York, I guess I wanted to keep it for myself. My Instagram feed also changed a bit and I was mostly working or discovering the city, then the blog was not a priority anymore. 14.05.17 was a decisive date for me, that was the day I took off for my internship in New York. Or in other words my dream internship in my dream city. Indeed, I was going to work at one of my favorite label of all time The Row. In addition, to enter the very closed Fashion circle, I was going to spend some time in…

Two fall obsessions
OMG! I have been super duper busy, and it’s not over at all! I mean it is great! I only had 4 days of post-New York depression. No! I’m kidding, but you know this feeling when you come back from holidays and get back to your routine and then you’re missing your holiday-life, now you see what I mean, right? So, since I just moved in with Forti and we got our dream apartment in the best neighborhood in Zürich, I’ve been busy with the blog slash videos, the move, university stuff (or mostly commuting time) and keep on being social (at least a bit ;) haha). As I love love…

Came back with a new color
Is color the new makeup? That’s what I’ve heard! So, I got back from NYC and here I am back to my student life in between Zürich, Lucerne, and Lausanne. However, this time I do have purple slash pinkish hair! Yes, I did it! Hairdressers always told me that my hair is too dark to dye or even worse to bleach. If I would do it, I would highly damage them. I did an ombre six years ago, back when I did have long hair, but I never touched the roots. In the past years, I wanted to go blond, pink, grey and other in between pastel colors. I just never…

Brooklyn without Coney wouldn’t be Brooklyn
If you feel like New York is not really Merica, go to Coney Island and you’ll see. Coney Island is located in Brooklyn by the sea where the attractions of the amusement park offer the best view of the beach and the city skyline. Coney Island is the place where Brooklynite would go on weekends to enjoy some hot dogs and roller coasters. Speaking of roller coasters, the ‘Cyclone’ which first opened in 1927 is still working…and believe me I’ve been on it and I was more than surprised by this old one – honestly, I freaked out. The sounds while you are riding literally scare you. I have a…

Come on and Fly!
Here a special look that I wanted to share with you; a black and white look with golden details. I love wearing refine jewelry (thanks mommy) and mostly yellow gold…I guess the color fits my tan better. Especially with black outfits, gold accessories will level up the look and makes it a bit fancier..not that we want to be fancy. Concerning my black leather boots, I’m totally in love with those! I mean seeeeriously look at those satin ribbons! Who would not fall for these? I also got some black ones, which would create a very cute all black everything looks I believe… Anyways my boots are from Fly London issued from…

Does magic only happen during the night?
New York City might not be the City of Lights, but to me it is! Well, let me explain it to you. New York is an amazing and large metropolis famous for its energy and vibes that would bring you anywhere amongst many other things, but the big apple by night is definitely something else. It all starts by those burning evenings when the sun slides itself in between the big allées of skyscrapers, gets so hot onto your layers and bedazzles anyone who would dare to look at it. Usually called, sunset situations. The sky becomes truly orange and everybody opposite gets a bloody sanguine tan. It does not happen every…

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,…
