Cannes Film Festival 2018 best accessories by Admin

In a previous article, we wrote about the MET Gala 2018. Another important event that occurs every year and where celebrities look at their full potential is the Cannes Film Festival. Even though it is an event about films, documentaries and court métrage of all genres, what people like us care about the most is who is going to wear what.

This year was the 71^st edition. From May, 8^th to May 19^th, in Cannes, people were competing for different prices as the prestigious Palme d’Or. Today, let’s be honest we will not talk about what people had the chance to watch and who received recognition. We will give our own trophy to the bests accessories on the red carpet and also maybe to Kristen Stewart who dares to take off her heels to protest against the film festival’s code that requires women to wear heels, but that is another story.

Accessories were formerly characterized as details, while today shoes, bags and jewels clearly compete with clothing. Jewellery allows you to fully express yourself and can enhance a simple and chic look with the finest and shiny details. Here is a small selection of the best jewellery on the Croisette this year.

– Anja Rubik wore a gorgeous Boucheron choker named Serpent Bohème, paved with diamonds on white gold and matching ear clips.

– Alessandra Ambrosio, stunned by matching her Grisogono long necklace with a pair of earrings.

– Leïla Bekhti kept it simple but won everything by betting on transparency with rock crystal earrings.

This year, chockers were trendy on the red carpet with famous brands such as Chopard, Boucheron and Grisogono. It is always a pleasure for the eyes to look at celebrities’ styles. Whether it is about the accessories or the jewels, we like to dream that one day we will have the chance to wear such beautiful items. We cannot wait for the next red carpet.

Why you should visit Barcelona by Admin

Barcelona is a great city to visit with your friends and your family, for a weekend or for holidays. Every single person that comes to Barcelona leaves with sparkles in their eyes and make the promise to come back again as soon as possible.

This cosmopolitan city is vibrant. The atmosphere that reigns there makes you feel like you are at home because people are caring, welcoming and love to celebrate life. Moreover, the environment is breathtaking. Palm trees, sea air and the smell of seafood in the streets; there is everything you need to have an unforgettable stay.

That is why everyone loves Barcelona because it is full of gorgeous places. Whenever you are wandering the streets, you can admire the beauty of the architecture, but also to many well-known places as The Park Guell and the Sagrada Familia. The Catalonian capital has a real history and you have the chance to admire it through buildings like Casa Battlo and museums.

To enjoy the beautifulness of the whole city, you can climb up above Park Montjuic and The Bunker. You will benefit from an incredible view and a rare moment of peace, far from the city’s madness. But if you think you are not only here to relax and want to go out, Barcelona is also the perfect place. There are many restaurants, bars and clubs to enjoy.

For the foodie, Catalan food is very famous all around the world. Tapas, paella, findeua, seafood, local cerveza… you can eat and drink whatever you want as the streets are crowded with traditional restaurants. You will never get bored while staying in this great city. There are so many places and things to experience in this multicultural city.

Barcelona is the place to be, that is why it is one of the most visited city. When walking in Las Ramblas you can see how much it is popular by seeing the number of tourists every day. Once you have considered you have visited enough areas in the city centre, you can go to Casteldefells, for its less crowded beaches, as well as along the coast like Costa Dorada and Costa Brava.

We wonder if it is possible not to love Barcelona, a charming city with a real story behind and an atmosphere that will make you feel like you are on holidays.

Saturday, May 19^th, marked one of the most remarkable ceremonies in history. On this day, the union of a couple breaking the codes of the English monarchy will forever live in legend. His Royal Heirness, Prince Harry, famous for his angel face and rebellious past, and Meghan Markle, an African-American actress, divorced, with deep-rooted beliefs, said yes at the Windsor Castle in front of more than 600 people.

Meghan Markle made a remarkable entry. And if she climbed the stairs of the Chapel on her own, she later walked down the aisle with her new stepfather, Prince Charles, under the beloved eyes of her mother and her promised, dressed in his frockcoat uniform of the Blues and Royals.

She was the eponym of simplicity and natural charm and dazzled the world with her incredible simplicity. Her bateau neckline gown signed Givenchy was enhanced with a train of 5 meters long made from silk tulle, with a trim of 53 hand-embroidered flowers in silk threads, characterizing each state of the Commonwealth.

Her hair was styled in an updo and she wore the magnificent Queen Mary’s Diamond Bandeau tiara, loaned to her by the Queen. Her look was accessorized with the beautiful ring Harry has designed with two of his mother diamonds, in order to make her live in their hearts forever.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have offered the world a ceremony full of love. Just look at the sparkles in both grooms’ eyes during the entire ceremony and the sweet words whispered by Harry to his beloved. We could not have dreamed of a better wife for the Prince. Meghan seems to be a perfect choice, a woman of character, with a heart as big as the Prince, full of simplicity and courage.

We are now looking forward to seeing what the future holds for those two and cannot wait for them to start their role in the royal family, build up a family and keep making the world to believe in fairytales.

Summer hair care routine by Admin

Hair is mistreated during summer because of the sun, sea water and chlorinated swimming pool water. That is why you need to protect them as much as you can, with scarves, caps and hats. Not only it will allow you to have a trendy look at the beach, but it will also be really useful to protect your hair from the UV rays. You need to remember that the sun does the same damages to your skin as it does to your hair.

Different tips exist in order for you to take care of your hair all year round, but especially during the summer. You really need to build up a routine that will prevent your hair from being dry and brittle.

Use sun proof protection shampoo. As we said it, it is like your skin, so don’t hesitate to apply that kind of products regularly. If you can avoid to wet your hair into the sea or the pool, do it, same for washing them. The more you will wash your hair, the more it will be greasy. But when you are taking a shower, apply a good conditioner. Most importantly, do nourishing cares. Whether they are home-made or not, they will pigment and reinforce your hair.

Oil treatments will be your dearest friends. Coco, argan, aloe vera, you can mix plenty of ingredients together to do masks. Also, remember that everything is related to your diet. The more you will eat aliments that are rich in nutrients, the more your skin and hair will glow. Avocado, salmon, almonds have omega 3 in it that will allow your hair to feel and look better.

Let your hair dryer and straightener at home. Your hair must take a break from the heat. There are a lot of hairstyles to do that are trendy. Wavy beach hair and braids are one of the easiest and most successful hairstyles to adopt.

We don’t realize all the side effects the environment we are living in has on our body. Be sure that you will use all the possible ingredients to make you feel comfortable in your own body.

Take care of your skin, your hair. Take care of yourself.

Be who you are by Admin

With the rise of mobile applications and the clear tendency to be all the time on our smartphones, we are constantly analyzing the lives of each other, our styles, our physics.

It is like we are now living for others. Have you ever noticed that we only photograph or video the beautiful moments of our life? When we go out, travel or when we are looking gorgeous? Indeed, we choose the moments we want to share. Thus, Instagram is like utopia but we must not lose sight of the fact that this is not what real life looks like. People are not as flawless as we believe.

At the moment, if you scroll down your Instagram feed, you can see a lot of «bikini body», «prepare your body for summer», «how to be beach ready». Even before social media, with magazines and advertisements, we could see that the world incited us largely to believe in unique beauty, especially in the fashion world. But do not necessarily feel concerned about all the things you see in the media. There is no one role model. Life is not just fitness and eating healthy. Yes, it is good and yes your body will feel better.

But watch the rise of models like Ashley Graham and Iska Lawrence. Curvy models make their entry on the runway. We are who we are with our defects and our qualities. And look on Instagram the different posts on how to pose to make look better. Thus, do not think that all of the things you see and read are true. We don’t need to be skinny to look good. And if you want to do exercise, eat healthily, you must do it for yourself, not for the society. Remember that everyone is different and that what makes us beautiful.

It is true that sometimes we feel like we have to look a certain way, otherwise, people will judge us. Thus, the only challenge is to learn how to love ourselves and not feel pressured by the society. Each person is unique. Beauty is unique. Be yourself, be natural, you will look much more beautiful.

What to put in your vanity for the summer by Admin

May has started well with a bank holiday to celebrate the International Workers’ Day. But it’s not because now we are working that we cannot think about our future trip to a dream destination. And because we want to be as organised as we are at the office, we like to plan things in advance. Thus, once our tickets are booked, we only need to think about what do we have to pack.

Girls always bring more than necessary. It is not a cliché. But we also often forget important things. Here, you will find a list of what you should buy to put into your vanity to be prepared to face a hard day on the sand facing the sea with only the sound of waves and seagulls.

A perfect vanity should not be too full. Think practical. Think about what you will need at the beach but also afterwards, when visiting and going out at night. We don’t use the same products during holidays than during our daily life. Our beauty routine changes because our habits and the environment we are in are different.

An important product not to forget is sunscreen. It is important to take care of your skin and avoid as much as possible damages. We don’t always realize the power of the sun on our body, that is why it is also important to bring an aftersun lotion that you will have to apply every day after your shower. You can also exfoliate your skin to peel off the dead skin, your tan will stay long after this.

If you go to the beach, you don’t necessarily wear makeup. We all like having makeup-free days, a natural complexion with beach waves hair. But for the people who still want to wear some makeup, look for a waterproof mascara, especially if you go for a swim and don’t want it to smudge under your eyes. Remember that alcohol and sun are not a good combination. If you want to wear perfume, find a selection that is alcohol-free. Otherwise, your skin will be irritated and itchy.

Lip balm is a must, with or without sunproof protection. You can also do lip scrub to take care of this sensitive part of your body that can also take sunburn. Finally, to accessorize your look, bring colourful nail polish, like red and coral. It always looks good with a nice tan on.

Your vanity is now ready to be put into your suitcase. Next step: holidays.

MET Gala 2018 by Admin

The fashion’s most anticipated event finally happened two days ago. Indeed, on Monday, 7^th May occurred the long-awaited Met Gala. Founded by a publicist called Eleanor Lambert, the first event was first held in 1948. Since, it gathers models, fashion, music and movie celebrities to raise money for the Met’s Costume Institute.

Every year, it comes with a new theme, always more creative, giving free reign to the designers’ imagination that thus, create the most surprising but also the most amazing dresses. That is why we love this event. To admire the sublime outfits but also to define who is the best dressed.

Hosted by Anna Wintour, Rihanna, Donatella Versace and Amal Clooney, this year Met Gala’s inspiration was: “Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination”. The purpose was to match fashion with religious masterpieces.

Our personal favourite is Blake Lively’s Versace Ruby red gown. It took more than 600 hours to make her embroidery and jewel-encrusted dress. She mastered her look with a spiked headpiece.

Gigi Hadid also wore a Versace dress that took inspiration from the stain glass windows of a church and had embroilments stitch together to remind of a cathedral. She completes her look with matching nails.

Rita Ora stuns in a black chiffon Prada gown adorned with floral appliques. She accessorizes her look with an ornate crown with black roses on it and sequin gloves.

If the guests had the chance to see Madonna performing, we also had the pleasure to see unforgettable outfits on the red carpet, as every year. Celebrities were wearing Balenciaga, Chanel, Dior, Dolce Gabbana, Tory Burch and much more designers. Our favourite looks of this edition were Blake Lively, Gigi Hadid and Rita Ora’s.

The Met Gala has celebrated its 70^th anniversary. Every year, we are looking forward to seeing the looks that will cross the 150 yards red carpet and all that we can say is that we cannot wait for next year!

Festival outfits by Admin

The festival season has begun with the long-awaited Coachella. In summer, we live to the rhythm of music and outdoor concerts. For several days, we are preparing ourselves to live the highlight of our summer thanks to performances that will remain etched in our memories.

While some remain undecided about which artist they should watch, we girls, have concerns that are slightly different. During the months preceding the festival, we will not only think about the concerts and the great time we are going to have with our friends. We will also think about how we are going to dress up. Because a good festival goes with a good style

One day, one style. That’s the perks of festivals. During these days, we can go from bohemian to biker chic and take inspiration from the celebrities’ looks.

It is quite easy to get dressed for a festival, but here, we have selected some go-to outfits for a girl who wants to be stylish but comfortable at the same time. We love festivals because not only they have eclectic kinds of music but also because there are many people there with eclectic looks. Take your inspiration from Bella Hadid to Rihanna. Go check their Instagram feed to see how they were dressed. The keyword is: dare. Nothing can hold you back

What to wear?

– Fluid long dress, jumpsuit, shorts with a crochet top, flared plants with a bralette.

– Suedine jacket, denim jacket, capes

– Sneakers, boots

– Backpack, shoulder bag

Remember that comfort is important. If you don’t feel like wearing crazy outfits or you are scared because we never know if the weather is going to be that good, just accessorize your look. Jewellery, scarves, bandana, sunglasses, headband. Spice up your look. You can also use glitter on your face and body and wear ephemeral tattoos. Give free rein to your imagination, let your look be fancy and creative!
