Happy day...

Today we celebrate Father's Day in Brazil.

In this sensible initiative, on Aug 10th Johnson's Baby went to one of the biggest maternity hospitals in Brazil.




Feliz Dia dos Pais...

I'm wandering round and round, nowhere to go

I'm lonely in London, London is lovely so

Turquoise...champagne...Dior..

So, from June 1st (I'm a bit late, sorry I was enjoying summer...hahaha) the Dior pop-up store has arrived to Saint Tropez. The concept of the Parisian Avenue Montaigne boutique has inspired the interior design of the new store, combining contemporary decoration with the style of the XVIIth century. Lots of grey tones and toile de Jouy, making it look like a Balzac boudoir.

The gardens are minimalist and feature a tea room and a champagne bar (we all need some "hydration"- loved it!!)

And to celebrate the boutique opening, a varnish special edition (we love varnishes!!!): "a vibrant turquoise blue that reminds the fresh and splendid crystalline water of the glamorous Mediterranean fishing port.A delightful and sunny blue, that dresses up the nails with fun and elegance."
If this is your vibe, you'll have to go to Saint-Tropez to get yours I'm afraid, it's exclusive to that boutique.

Pop around - as if it was easy...;):
Ambassador’s Gardens, 25 Rue Francois Sibilli- Saint Tropez.

à bientôt

There's a fire starting in my heart

Perfection & Details

When I attended a luxury management course last year one of the key things I realised is that perfection and therefore luxury is seen through the details! This video from Chanel is a beautiful expression of that.
And being a bit philosophical, as in life, the small things/attitudes are the ones that really make all the difference...
Enjoy it!

How about this for the weekend?

If the weather keeps warm, I'm doing this for the weekend!!!
Cucumber- Rosemary Gin and Tonic and some Cool Prawns and Cucumber crackers!!! And all of that in a nice outside area!!!
Let's picnic!!!

Festival time- memories

Past time song, but so, so, so cool!!!!




Thanks Ale Laxon for the link!!!

Dance, dance, dance

Dance, dance, dance to the summer!

From an e-mail received today...

"Everything that matters to me, matters "a lot". It swallows me, takes me, attracts me, merges with everything I am...it absorbs me. Totally. Completely. Lucky me to be able to give myself so much into it and with such intensity- and still come out alive."

"Tudo com o que eu me importo, "me importa muito". Me suga, me leva, me atrai, se funde com tudo o que sou e me consome. Toda. Por inteiro. Sorte minha me doar tanto - e com tal intensidade - e ainda sair viva dessa vida."

Acoustic cool

Burberry has set this collaboration with young Brit artists last year during its menswear spring/summer 2011 collection.

Music always meets fashion (or the other way around), but when big brands, luxury ones decide to support young artists is pretty cool (and great integrated marketing strategy provided Burberry strong move into rejuvenating the brand).I liked it!

Have a nice weekend!!!

Me again...and this is not about the swing...

I just posted, but couldn't help from sharing this video!
I love the song, I love the singer and he was great...probably he's mind was faster than he could cope with...he was capable of finding beauty in what most would see ugliness...and because of that, he used to go beyond...
