Floral Prints

Flowers are like the fluffy clouds in the sky, the Nutella pot in my breakfast menu, the soft pillow on my bed...without flowers, my life would be a sad and miserable one. Flowers are a source of inspiration for me as much as it has been for fashion designers for decades. To match my casual attire, I pulled out my Gucci Flora Bag from the Gucci's 2013 Spring/Summer Collection. I had a crush for it then and still have now! It's so feminine and graceful! Do you know the importance of flowers in some cultures? My Oniarai jeans tells us all about the East Asia cultural bond with flowers. Each flower  carries a special symbolism and very often conveys a positive message. I really admire how Chinese and Japanese value trees and flowers! By the way, I bought my jeans at the Deji Palaza, which is the new luxury brand mall in Nanjing, China.

It seems that I like to go against the wind: while everyone's posting about the fall season -leaves on the ground, leaves falling from the trees - and their autumnal outfit and makeup looks, I am still enjoying the craziness of this transitional weather and the beautiful fall blooming flowers! I know that transitional weathers are not really welcome, because it can sometimes be hard to predict the heat wave or the cold spell, or even those unexpected rainfalls; but it is up to you to dress smart. A leather or a denim jacket can be the perfect layer for day and night. For what concerns shoes, I personally prefer not to cover my feet too much, so stilettos and moccasins work best for me...but I would keep a pair of sneakers in the trunk of my car as well (crazy weather, remember?). Ok, now enjoy the floral pictures!

Beautiful Simple Melody

It is in my instinct to look around me and observe the details of a place whenever I go somewhere new. It is not just the interior design, the colours or the shapes...no, it's the going in search of something that inspires, something that we relate to, whether it is a wall or a chair, a song or a drink. Walking around the lobby area of the beautiful hotel La Cigale in Tabarka, I loved the interior design and found three things that instantly grabbed my attention and stole my heart like a beautiful simple melody:

The piano, my all time favourite music instrument and the must deco piece for my dream house. Since ever, I've always loved the piano, its sound and shape. I would listen to piano solos for hours and not get enough of it. If I was a pianist, I would just express my feelings by writing and playing melodies. Definitely! Another unique deco element I go insane about is the aquarium. Whenever I see one, It's euphoria! Water, fishes, the peace and quiet, and much more...all this represents me as an Aquarian. I think that explains it all! Last but not least, it's the big couch in the relaxing reading space: ah, so comfortable! Also it reminded me of my place in Sousse, same style and same warm colours. It felt like home away from home!

A Pop Of Turquoise!

Hi babes,

This is Pop Of Blue, a makeup look that I would rock in these beautiful sunny days of October. I used matte brown shades on the crease/outer corner of the eye, a shimmery warm yellow/gold on the mobile lid and a blue eyeshadow on the inner, alongside the velvet touch on the lower waterline. For lips I used a pinky beige lip pencil "Staunchly Stylish", my favourite by mac. I hope you like it! Kiss Kiss!

Chilling By The Pool!

In a beautiful sunny day of October, you just don't want to miss the sun because you still haven't had enough of it and want to get more tanned or -just like I would ironically say, If somebody put his nose into my business- (I) have Vitamin D deficiency! But seriously, these are the perfect days to catch up on some rays by the pool. It must be so fun to have a pool in the backyard of the house, imagine how many cool things you can do:

1. Tanning at any time: which means whether you're doing a free-time activity or just having breakfast in the backyard, you can get free tanning all the year around - of course, if you're living in a hot country.

2. Wakeup sun tanned: I know we all do take a nap at the beach, but the chance to fall asleep on the pool lounge chair after party and wakeup sun tanned? well, that's a privilege to a few!

3. Do the jumping game: let's admit it! We all want to do that crazy jump in the pool, but don't have the guts to do that in public, because it is embarrassing and we fear something goes wrong, huh?

4. Invite some friends over for a barbecue by the pool: that's super fun!

5. Do all lazy exercises: say Adieu to the gym and tone it up in the pool!

6. Practicing Yoga: Outdoor Yoga is better than indoor, but Yoga water workout shall be your next challenge!

7. Throw up a pool party!

8. Do some creative photo shootings...Indeed!

9. Take an afternoon English tea with your BFF by the pool

10. Surprise your love with a romantic dinner with a pool view...

...and the list goes on!
