Elevated

admin — Fri, 13 Apr 2018 04:59:49 +0000

Two style staples I would never give up (and there is only two): an iron and a lint roller. Everything looks better when it is pressed or steamed. Everything. Every knit and dress and t-shirt, even jeans. I do not iron my underwear though. I believe all clothes – especially those in pure white, or […]

Clear Skin

admin — Thu, 15 Mar 2018 14:56:31 +0000

Unable to find a really good and simple cleansing oil, I began mixing my own last summer, using organic cold-pressed vegetable oils. My starting point was an angry yet sensitive skin with breakouts. That is probably why I did not feel comfortable putting almost anything on my face. It needed to calm down and rest, […]

Stay soft

admin — Thu, 08 Feb 2018 14:58:05 +0000

Your body and skin like to be touched. Blood pressure and cortisol levels usually lower when we are touched in a friendly manner. We feel less stressed. Touch calms the mind and soothes the body. It brings us back to the present moment. It also builds trust. Politicians eagerly touch your arm while shaking your […]

“Our truest life is when we are in dreams awake.” Because of eternal pieces of wisdom like this, everyone, at some point of their lives, should read some Henry Thoreau.

Vibrant and powerful, red is the longest wavelength of colors. Considered a color of love, passion and danger, it affects us physically and emotionally. Red stimulates us. It raises the metabolic rate and the heart rate. It makes us feel warm and alive. In Chinese culture, red is a symbol of luck and prosperity. Infuse […]

Reading is bliss

If you need a longer vacation than a ninety-minute film: read a book that you cannot put down before it is finished. For a while ago I spent two beautiful, delicious, totally carefree afternoons with the critically acclaimed detective story The Truth About the Harry Quebert Affair by Joël Dicker. 670 pages of blissful escape.

Palazzo Margherita

admin — Thu, 20 Oct 2016 09:55:20 +0000

“There’s a certain parallel between directing a film and creating a hotel. I think that’s why my father is so good at making hotels: he knows that they have a story and how to create an atmosphere; he has that director’s eye for detail. Palazzo Margherita is an old noble family’s house built in 1892, in […]

Minnetonka

Perfect for the California mood and weather: Minnetonka moccasins. I have always loved how Kate Moss styles the boots and booties but in my closet I only know the loafer style. It is made of suede with a rubber outsole and it is so comfortable I wear it all the time. Probably more than any other […]
