Korean Beauty Dream

Sunday, 30 April 2017 •

Since several years now Korean beauty took over Western Countries. Everywhere new brands appear and are sell in more and more shops, from Sephora to Douglas, and of course we buy. Why? Because we have all heard of the legendary perfect skin of Korean girls. No pimples, no blemishes, no redness, nothing to hide, nothing to change, their everyday rituals let them avoid our daily skin issues. So of course, once those brands have came into our Western countries, they were instantly best sellers. The promise of the perfect skin, or how to let hope grows in every Western girl. 

But this promise is only one of the aspect of those products that make us buy them frenetically. The second asset is for sure their cuteness. How can you resist a hand cream in a panda shape? Or the cutest lip balm ever, being very efficient, but also in a cate shape and smelling like cotton candy?  I did discover myself those products quite recently. Even though I've been using EOS lip balm for already more than a year, I never really had my hand on any other Korean product. However a month ago I stumbled upon the brand Oh K!, and since then I'm in love with it. Since a month I try to discover new brands, new products, and the more I discover, the more I fall in love with Korean beauty. That is why today I've decided to share with you my top 5 favorite products. But be sure than in a couple month there might be part two to this article, I'm sure I won't get tired of it... Because you know, Korean beauty is all you can dream of. Magical beauty products in the cutest packaging. The combination to make a girl happy and beautiful.

Spring Playlist

Thursday, 27 April 2017 •

It has been quite long since I last published a playlist on the blog. Even if my boyfriend is a musician, recently I haven't really been into listening to any music. I'd rather read in a silent room that surround myself with sound, yet, few days ago, I discovered some tracks that might become all time favorites. So here I share with you my current playlist at the moment.

Adele, Send my Love to Your New Lover

Lana Del Rey, Black Beauty

Kidswaste, Wild

Anderson Pack, The Waters

Rihanna, Love on the Brain

NoMBe, Young Hearts

Thundercat, Friend Zone

Lana Del Rey, Old Money

Noah Cyrus, Make me

La La Land, City of Stars

Stationary Love

Monday, 24 April 2017 •

Between stationary and I, the love story runs for quite a long time. Since I'm able to write - like a 4 years old child would intend his first letters to Sant Claus- I'm the proud owner of notebooks and stationary bits of any type. I'm not complicated, for my birthday a notebook will always make out of me the happiest girl on earth. Weird? Maybe. But when you are a lists lover and an organization freak, but also a bit of an artist - well, I'm the proud author of many novels and poems nobody have ever read - trust me, notebooks are just life. Yet everything related to stationary makes me happy. So imagine me last Saturday, heading to town for some errands, arriving at Urban Outfitters stationary stand. I wanted everything yet the control freak in me thought "you shouldn't spend money" and I ended up buying nothing. Deeply regretting it now. 
So for this blogpost I thought I would share with you my personal favorites of the moments, many stationary bits and pieces for my favorite websites. And let me say that as a girl crazy for stationary bits it was quite a hard task to make a rather small selection of items... Anyway, here are my favorites!

This diary is for sure my favorite of the moment. Black, gold and cactus, and I'm sold. Plus, the inside setting is rather original and as always with SkinnyDip merchandise, a tiny bit humanistic. Definitely worth the rather high price...

And of course, it is always a good thing to have the matching pens!

A good collection of stickers is always a nice purchase. Whether it will end up on your phone or on a random plain notebook it will be the perfect personalization.


All of those guided notebooks with haul to fills and a place for everything to be written are nice, however sometimes you'll just need a lined notebook, just to be organized by yourself, or just messy and proud of it. This leafs printed notebook will be the perfect one to take wild notes...

Of course I couldn't go on with my selection without a Daily Journal by Ohh Deer, maybe the most useful notebook ever, an agenda where you can write everything you need, get organized, and keep for years... One of the best investment stationary and organization wise. Plus, the design of this one is especially gorgeous, just to say.

Sticky notes are a must, whether you enjoy stationary and organization or not. It is definitely  everybody have, and when they have a cat on it they are obviously even better. And if the cat is rude, it is definitely the best purchase ever.

Pugs are too cute to be left out. So here are some pencils with pugs on it.

Finally, a pink notebook. Cause every girl need one.

April Favorite bag: Chanel Backpack

Friday, 21 April 2017 •

Recently the trend is on the backpack. It is easy to see it, every blogger has one, preferably a couture one, rocking it with a casual outfit at Coachella or with a smarter outfit, to add an original detail. However it is now easier to find the perfect backpack, fashionable and trendy. Say goodbye to the Eastpack bag or the boring black leather and heavy ones we tend to see a lot in the 2000s on the back of some mum with 5 kids. Now backpack is fashionable, even Chloé made one, Chloé the brand of femininity and delicacy, even them. But we can understand them. How to resist how practical it is? Just put everything in it and put it on your back, it won't even bother you during the day. A dream bag for an active girl who wants to stay stylish. 
  Several months ago I presented you the Cara Mulberry Bag, which could also be used as a backpack, and even if it is still my favorite one, today I wanted to talk about the Chanel backpack. For sure the most wanted fashion piece of the moment. We find on it every signs that are so specific to Chanel. The golden logo with the intertwined CC, the criss-cross sewing and the golden chains, the three symbols of Chanel. This association of prestige with such a practical bag, keeping is classiness and chic, make out of it my April favorite, without any hesitation.

A Day in Poetry VIII

Tuesday, 18 April 2017 •

What am I to you?
This question is haunting my days, haunting my nights.
The days and the nights you spend away from me. 
While I can't help myself but think of you. 
While I can't help myself but wait for you to come home to me.

What am I to you? 
This question is spinning round and round in my head. 
I feel butterflies when you look me in the eyes. 
But do you feel anything when you dive into mine?
Do you want anything from me? 
Cause I would love to steal everything from you.

What am I to you?
Just flesh and bones?
Or do you feel anything when my docile body moves under your warm hands?
I swear my flesh is on fire when you touch it.
I swear my bones could break like glass, so fragile against your will. 
But is it it? Tangled bodies in an unmade bed, just for the night?

What am I to you?
I would give all I have to keep you.
I would forget all I know to only remember you.
I would change who I am to please you.
But you, what would you do for me?

What am I to you? 
This question, without any answer after all of those days.
This question that ask all the stupid girls I guess. 
This question that turns so many souls.
This question you won't answer.
Why? I better not think about it.

Yet here I am.
Longing for an answer.
Praying for a "everything" in response.
Trying not to think that it could be "nothing".
Begging my heart not to break.
To stand it, just a few minutes more.

For the first time I asked the question out loud.
Eyes in eyes.
Hand in hand.
But in a second you left it all.
You didn't say anything. 
Just avoided my gaze, as you always do when you see love in my eyes.
And in your silence, I found my answer.

What was it like to watch you leave?
I don't know. 
Maybe just like you went away with a piece of me.
Maybe just like seeing all the stars disappear forever of my sky.
Maybe just like hearing all the goodbyes I had heard in my life said all at once.
