Style File: Club Monaco

Published by

Club Monaco is one of my favorite TB (to browse) online shops. True, it is quite expensive and I could never really afford to buy anything from there, let alone all the things I covet each time I visit – but all their designs are exactly my cup of tea (easy to wear, laid back, casual chic). Thankfully the online shop only delivers to the US and Canada, so both me and my bank balance are safe. Still I can’t help but look around and make lists of all my favorite things – if only for inspiration, in a bid to find similar, lower budget options. What do you think of my choice of dresses/ coats/ shoes & accessories, featured above? Any piece you particularly like/ think would be worth splurging on? Any ideas re: similar ‘philosophy’ brands with a more budget friendly approach? Let me know in the comments’ section…

72nd Golden Globes Awards’ Best Dressed

Published by

With the Golden Globes now all done and dusted, it’s time to have a brief look at my favorite looks of the evening. There were unfortunately way too many, unexpected fashion disasters mishaps this year (Rosamund Pike, Keira Knightley, Zosia Mamet, Tina Fey, Lena Dunham, Lana Del Rey & Tiziana Rocca being the biggest – if certainly not the only- culprits) but some amazingly elegant outfits as well. So here’s my Golden Globes’ 2015 Top Ten, in preparation for the Oscars… No. 10 No matter what she wears, Dame Helen Mirren always looks fantastic – plus, just look at that radiant face? What the heck does she do? No. 9 I thought the strapless neckline was not the most flattering for Ms. Witherspoon (and she probably would have been better off being able to walk properly) – but the dress was understated Calvin Klein perfection, so it had to make the list… No. 8 Kelly Osbourne didn’t seem to make any of the best dressed lists but I personally thought that both her stream lined, …

Ones’ to Watch: Delphine- Charlotte Parmentier

Published by

I’ve got a new, favorite (dream – unless I win the lottery) jeweller: the talented Parisian Delphine- Charlotte Parmentier. Having started designing in her grandparents’ atelier, she recently (2013) celebrated her 2oth year anniversary in collab with Swarovski crystals (which she has used in her designs, since the beginning). A look at her website will leave you breathless (both because of the designs and some of the price tags), but is well worth it. You are bound to find favorite pieces (both classic and edgier) in most, if not all, of her 38 current collections – which, I guarantee you are gonna be dreaming of and lusting after for days to come. To give you an idea, here’s a few of the (multitude of) things I loved: [Jewellery Images © Delphine- Charlotte Parmentier]

Sun of a Beach…

Published by

Summer is finally here and, as expected, I have started obsessing over getting ‘beach ready’. From the perfect suntan lotion, to a brand new beach bag, to a flattering swimsuit & a soft, luxurious beach towel – I want it all! It was in this exact spirit that I was browsing the internet last night, when I bumped into ‘Sun of a Beach’. Our very own Melina Pispa and Ellie Rountou have joined forces to create the plushest, most design oriented beach towels. Using the very best materials (exceptional quality 100% egyptian cotton towel and cotton fabric) and paying special attention to detail, these ladies have managed to amass a range of designs you’ll most certainly lust after. All towels are double sided, come in two lengths (100×140 and – the extra spacious – 100×180) & are presented in a cool burlap bag – which can be used as a stylish beach bag. Prices are rather steep, but I have the sneaking suspicion that will not stop me from purchasing one of my favorites (pictured …
