It's All About Love

Hello my beautiful people,

what is the word you get to hear the most? For what concerns me I guess it is "love". Four letters, one word, thousands of meanings.

I get to hear it the most because I speak out this word very much in my everyday life. I love you, I love him, I love it... I simply love love!
I love to love, I love to be loved and I love to feel love. It does not even have to concern me necessarily. But love is the best thing in this world. It is the term that is hardest to express but that makes it even easier to explain and understand without words. Love is the purest thing because it is honesty, it is motivation and inspiration and it is the fortune of all being. Love might hurt or be mean sometimes but let us be honest, love keeps us going. We are living to love and we love to live. Love the feeling that keeps us alive, After all the most influencial poets and artists Wilhem Busch once said: "The sum of our life are the hours in which we loved."
Everything has to be about love and passion. Whether it is worth it in the end or not, if you do not do it with love do not expect the result to be good.

It is all about love.

Shopaholic Goodies

Hey my dears,

if you remember we have once talked about it that advanced shopping-addicts have made the shop assistants their friends to enjoy an even better service and discount. Today I want to talk about another benefit you have if you have a shop-assistant or beauty or rather outfit-advisor as a friend. Apart from the discount it is probable for you to receive some extra-gifts in addition to your shopping.

Since I am a good shopper I did so on my last shopping before holidays about one month ago and well, what can I say, thank you Mrs. Z. (name anonymous).

Let us get more precize...

First I have bought some personal must-haves since I am very much into the rock-style what for leather, black and silver accents (here by Swarowski) are a must in my closet. Apart from that I have found a shower gel by Calvin Klein to add to my perfume-collection and a spring-twin-set to  decorate my room with. Last but not least I have bought a little cosmetics-bag with a rocky vintage peace-symbol out of straw which is perfectly matching to summer.

And therefore I received just as nice gifts:

First I received some beauty products two shower gels by Lacoste and Gucci's newest fragrance Bamboo, a lipgloss in a cherry shade and a set by Lancôme's fragrance "La Vie Est Belle" which is unusually sweet but intensive which is typical for Lancôme fragrances.

...in addition I received two bags, a cosmetics bag by the new James Bond fragrance and a small shopper.

As always you can apply for the prizes via private message on my networks or via e-mail.

I Brought You Fashion

Bonjour mes chers,

holidays in France would not be complete with shopping and bringing the latest fashion trends home from the fortune of fashion.

Check out my new in and the teasers of the coming fall trends.

The colors are becoming darker but more intensive and the clothes are becoming bolder therefore bold statement jewelleries are staying. The trend that has been highly celebrated within Russian celebrities at least since spring of this year is working according to the moto that you should not 

be sparing the jewellery. Therefore: Time for some charge.

A summer cardigan is irreplaceable for gentle breezy late-summer-nights. 

What I like about these ones is the manufacturing of lace on the back

what makes the outfit elegant and sexy at once. So I could not resist to

buy it in the basic colors. 

Something else I needed to have in two colors since I needed to charge 

these colors in my closet grey and navy and what could be better than

buying two slip-overs which you can versatilely combine?

The summer dresses were unbeatable in this year's collection the best

thing was that I could bring in more yellow. For people with sounthern

origin having dark hair and eyes especially yellow is a very well 

matching color and the same dress in blue was a must-have for me.

I have found my dream-dress in Cannes. I always wanted to have this kind

of dress which I have worn and bought on my birthday there.

This asymmetric dress was another must-have for me. It is the perfect

party dress and brown is a great colorto wear especially for the dark season.

This dress reminded me of one of my fashion ideals Duchess Catherine.

It was so elegant that I had to have it.

This glamorous dress was a real eye-catcher. My mother almost forced me

to buy it.

Another eye-catcher that was the most spontaneous buying ever. This

freaky blouse is matching to a freaky person like me.

Real tourists and French Riviera lovers need to have an original souvenir

made in Cannes. And an art lover like me could not resist to wear a piece

of art.

Finally I have found what I have been looking for already

long before my holidays. The dungarees have become a

highly celebrated trend this season but for me they are

just essential.

The red pump is a must-have in every closet. One of my personal trends 

is the silver at the front.

Last but not least some must-have inspirations and a name-necklace from 

Monaco with love.

As usual you can contact me privately for prizes and more details on my networks or e-mail. Stay tuned for the converted looks.

Off To Paradise - 26 Reasons To Go On Holiday In Cannes

Bonjour mes chers,

another reason for my unusually long absence was that I have been on holiday in Cannes at the French Riviera. It has been my holiday destination for 15 years and I would not change it for the world. Why? Well, where do I start...

1. The schools look so alluring that you wish to be a pupil again.

2. It is open for all kinds of cultures.

China Town officially launched in Cannes

A sushi-stand in Cannes with an original Japanese man in a French supermarket. Fresh and

extravagant

An Irish pub and Cannes found each other, too. Cheers

with an original Irish Guines.

Real French-Armenian friendship and unity! A memorial to the over 1.5

million victims from the Armenian Genocide begun 1915, 100 years

later still not officially and entirely.

A Russian church within the Rue de Russie (Street Of Russia)

Peace between the U.S.A and Great Britain

3. The cakes taste as irresistable as they look.

Each cake a master piece of art. 

4. The streets are decorated with fancy lights.

5. The beach is so inspiring.

Cannes is the place where I have written my most important songs and

collected the most ideas for my songs.

6. The nature is unique.

7. The French skies are the most beautiful over the breath-taking landscapes of the Provence.

One huge mountain after the other in the Provence Alpes Côte d'Azur that lead to the beach.

8. The properties have a versatile and artful design that is bound to the nature and fresh air.

It is like having balconies on two sides of a flat

9. Every property has its individual town name.

10. The sky-views are sick at each time of the day.
and
11. No where else you can observe the sunrise, -set and the moonrise better at the same time.

20:15 pm (west)

20:10 am (east)

Geography in its practice.

6:45 am

afternoon

The phrase "I love the color of the sky" gets its real meaning here.

12. You can get all kinds herbs and spices there.

And apart from that nothing replaces the experience of shopping at a bazaar

13. The weather is dreamlike at each time of the day.

The weather at 20:10 pm, just sayin'

14. The street-names are interesting.

According to the street-names Cannes seems to be a very international town.

15. You get to read quotes for life at every corner.

16. The best hair-dresser in the world is there.

My hair-dresser for 15 years. The only hair-dresser in the world to whom

I just have to say "do it" and she'll do a very fashionable hairstyle which

underlines your character.

17. You do not need to take a lot of clothes, You can buy your birthday-dress there.

The dress of my dreams, I always wanted to have one like this and found

it in Cannes.

18. Fashion victims, attention! Giorgio Armani has opened a café there.

19. It is a shopping-paradise.

You can shop in high-class designer shops such as The Kooples...

...or in the famous Rue Meynadier for the original Cannes-beach-style.

20. You do not need to travel to the other side of the world to get the California-feeling.

21. Free public toilets are marked.

22. The bus stops are creatively designed.

Cannes gives itself a personal touch at its bus stops. Behind every schedule there is a photograph

of one of the artists that have once been at the film festival of Cannes with the name and the year

they have been there. Here the Italian actress Sophia Loren who has been in Cannes in 1959.

23. It is as well a paradise for skaters.

24. It has the best hot chocolate in the world.

25. You can make day trips to must-have-been places such as Monaco.

26. Because the Croisette is the real only place to be!

Forgive me my little patriot speech but, our Europe is just at least as attractive as the United States,

I hope everyone of you has had fantastic and unforgettable holidays as I had and can start into the autumn/winter season with new charged positive energy.
