For these Easter holidays i was in real need of a relaxing break, so i chose to head to Marsa Alam located on the Egyptian West Coast of the Red Sea. All I wanted was a lovely hotel, white beaches and crystalline sea, and that’s what I got! I chose the Hilton Marsa Alam Nubian Resort. It was lovely, the resort sprawled forever and it was dotted with beautiful low buildings with the suites and rooms. It had 4 swimming pools and an amazing restaurant that served a large variety of international cuisines. So here’s my first day: in order to avoid sunburn (to no avail) i left the room at 7 am already wearing spf 20. It was lovely, the warming rays of the sun, the gentle breeze… it was exactly what I needed. Continue reading “Salam from the Red Sea – Chapter 1” »

Obsessive compulsive? No, just a nailpolish addict!
04/16/2012
I always look at people’s hands when i meet them. Are they clean? Well looked after? Tidy nails? Whether they’re men or women i think hands say a lot about someone. Hands can tell you about their work, their lifestyle and hands can’t undergo aesthetic procedures: so its all true! Aahah! People probably tend to think about clothes or accessories and may think about their manicure as the final element, or as not important at all. I on the other hand place a lot of emphasis on nails, i like for them to always be tidy. As well as tidy, i of course love to go wild with nailpolish! As you may have already gathered i have an obsession with nailpolish! I like it bright or glittery, something that just stands out, as you know i like ostentatious accessories that are visible from 30Km away! Continue reading “Obsessive compulsive?

Packing for the Red Sea
04/04/2012
I definitely need a relaxing holiday and for this Easter vacation I chose to go to the beautiful Red Sea coast at Marsa Alam in Egypt. Four years ago I went to the Red Sea at Sharm el Sheikh, I have such lovely memories. It was a great place for colourful fish and snow cooling, which I really love. Its always a chore to pack for me, I wish I could take my entire wardrobe, but of course I can’t so I have to make selections over selections until I get to the right baggage weight. And I also need to factor in what I might buy when I get there! First things to clock where they are: I pad and passport, as well as books to keep me company on the beach.

Yuri’s corner: a roaring Dolce&Gabbana look
03/30/2012
In my opinion a leopard print top should be a staple in any fashionable woman’s wardrobe. It doesn’t always have to be the starting point for a dressy ensemble, it can also be an injection of animal pluck to a day to day took. Continue reading “Yuri’s corner: a roaring Dolce&Gabbana look” »
My passion for flowers
03/29/2012
Now, I want to let you into a relatively unknown passion of mine. I grew up in a fashion environment as my parents owned a fashion lable. It was only natural for me to grow up to be a fashion designer. 13 years ago i moved to Milan and i studied fashion at the Marangoni school, and after that i had lots of lovely experiences as a fashion designer in many top fashion houses. I am very happy and satisfied with my experiences as a fashion designer and currently as fashion editor for Swide. Continue reading “My passion for flowers” »
Plastic Fantastic this Spring Summer 2012.
03/27/2012
Plastic is no longer a much loved material. As much as it has brought huge technological advances and for a time it was a material which represented status, today, also thanks to the influence of ecologists, it has become something like the Devil’s material.
