Look of the day: I believe in a thing called Love

I believe in that feeling called Love. I think its best expression is not the sentence I love you but the gaze and load to subtle meanings that exchange two lovers in a crowd insensitive souls.

In a world full of people are only a few the one who dare to fly and live. It is said between to live and to exist you have the key and the conscious choose to live is the greatest decision of love we can give to ourselves.

Sometimes it is easier to look around and frown against others who watch what is wrong within ourselves, the faults are not outside of us but within us. The outside world makes us just as a mirror, which means that what we do not like in another person is a feature that can not bear our whereas if we are always surrounded by mediocre situations, bad people is because we internally have some of their characteristic.

So inside, so outside.

Dare to love, to love at 360 ​​°. People, things, animals, projects, works.

Love yourself and others, forgive, accept and fly.

Hawaii calls Italy |Tokyo edition: Urban bohemian

Urban bohemian, one of the most popular trends of the moment in fashion and lifestyle. A mix of inspirations binding together Maroccan arabesques, Peruvian tribal prints, vibrant fabrics from Mexico, Native American fringes, gypsy ruffles and lace trims, denim and cowboy hats, all reinterpreted in a bohemian chic and sometimes "urban" twist. A indipendent, sophisticated woman, who knows how to add a hint of humor to her city outfits, ready to travel and explore, but without sacrificing style and charme even in the most extreme conditions. I know many Californian, Australian and Hawaiian designers (previous articles) who love this trend, but during my trip to Tokyo, I noted that even several Japanese brands have choose to leave the “classic minimalist style" to embrace a...

Look of the day: Sous le Ciel de Paris

” Sous le ciel de Paris
s’envole une chanson
elle est née d’aujourd’hui
dans le cœur d’un garçon
sous le ciel de paris
marchent des amoureux
leur bonheur se construit
sur un air fait pour eux

Sous le Pont de Bercy
un philosophe assis
deux musiciens quelques badauds
puis les gens par milliers
sous le ciel de paris
jusqu’au soir vont chanter
l’hymne d’un peuple épris
de sa vieille cité

Près de Notre Dame
parfois couve un drame
oui mais à Paname
tout peut s’arranger
quelques rayons
du ciel d’été
l’accordéon
d’un marinier
l’espoir fleurit
au ciel de Paris

Sous le ciel de Paris
coule un fleuve joyeux
il endort dans la nuit
les clochards et les gueux
sous le ciel de paris
les oiseaux du bon Dieu
viennent du monde entier
pour bavarder entre eux

Et le ciel de Paris
a son secret pour lui
depuis vingt siècles il est épris
de notre ile Saint Louis
quand elle lui sourit
il met son habit bleu
quand il pleut sur paris
c’est qu’il est malheureux
quand il est trop jaloux
de ses millions d’amants
il fait gronder sur nous
son tonnerr’ éclatant
mais le ciel de paris
n’est pas longtemps cruel
pour se fair’ pardonner
il offre un arc en ciel ”

Edith Piaf ” Sous le Ciel de Paris”

Beauty | Davines Love Smoothing

The beauty of a person passes through the care she has of her hair. I have always been a fervent supporter of the fact that beauty lies precisely in the details … Needless to have a pair of Christian Louboutin shoes if they have the heel peeled or if you have the polish chipped, the appearance you want to give of yourself must take account of these small important details.

An healthy, shiny and full-bodied hair bring to any kind of look a natural perfection and charm and Davines products are the best to get an high standard result and of complete satisfaction.

The Davines Group was founded in 1983 by Bollati family, where science and passion blend together to create a complete system for the care of the skin of the body and, above all, of the soul. In particular, the Essential Haircare line was created for the daily care of the hair, using only energy from renewable sources, with a Zero Impact packaging and reduced use of plastic. The formulations are free of sulfates and parabens, and with a few select ingredients from Italian crops, which help keep alive plant varieties at risk of extinction.

With the collaboration with the Slow Food Foundation for Biodiversity, Davines want to say in a loud voice its desire to give the brand a feature of Sustainable Beauty, which is a synergy between Beauty and Sustainability.

LOVE SMOOTHING is a smoothing line for frizzy or unruly hair. The Slow Food is the Oliva Minuta of Sicily from the farm of Mr. Carmelo Messina.

The main ingredient of the line is precisely the oliva minuta of Sicily, whose extract, rich in fatty acids and vitamins, has a strong power firming and softening. The properties of the olive related to beauty and well-being were already known by the ancient peoples, the Phoenicians, for example, called it the oil “liquid gold”, while the Egyptians used to adopt it for formulations that glossy hair.

The line consists of:

LOVE / shampoo : s a shampoo for hair straightening frizzy or unruly. Already after the first washing the hair is hydrated and luminous and lose the annoying frizz in favor of a hair easy to comb and smooth.

LOVE / conditioner : is a smoothing conditioner for frizzy or unruly. Its use extremely facilitates the comb but also hair-straightening, giving a particular hydration and elasticity making the hair more disciplined and less “nervous”.

LOVE / hair smoother : is a smoothing cream anti-frizz without rinsing hair frizzy or unruly. This soft cream smooth hair wavy or frizzy without weighing it down and leaving no residue. The hair has a soft finish and bright.

The Davines products can be used in small amounts, since it’s sufficient one / two nuts of the product to ensure an optimal and prodigious effect.

For protected and cared hair, the choice of Davines is synonymous of safety, environment respect, advanced studies and especially love for our mother earth, for a long time too mistreated. A conscientious and spritual choice in order to be active also ourselves to the preservation of our territory.

Look of the day: Paris Fashion Week

My city. The one that just landed at the Charles De Gaulle airport makes me feel her maternal embrace of welcome back home at last.

Accordions that resonate, bistros and brasseries teeming with vibrant and charming people, the smell of croissants and baguettes sticking cheeky from the package of paper. Bouquets of white tulips taken with extreme nonchalance inside of colorful shopping trolley, from which peep.

Them. The Parisians and Parisian, a nation in its own right than the French. They can really taught you the Joie de Vivre and the Belle Vivre. Who eat breakfast in the corner of Paul, renowned boulangerie and patisserie, with a basket of viennoiserie while sipping cafe au lait and read Le Figaro. Those same who buy meat, fish and cheese in the small stores specialized in Ménilmontant, the lively district of Paris. That evening in front of a glass of champagne all gathered on the sofa, after diner, listening to Edith Piaf and Yves Montand. And that Sunday roam in the art shops in Saint-Germain-des-Prés looking for original paintings and sculptures. And then they allow a walk along the Seine, always animated.

In Paris during fashion week, another life-long dream come true. The atmosphere is more elitist than that in Milan, undoubtedly less commercial and more truly devoted to the worship of Fashion. In Paris, the attitude is low-profile and not rough, style is refined.

A mixture of joy, love and gratitude have marked every moment of this experience. They soaked and permeated every presentation, every event and fashion show in which I participated.

They say pictures speak for themselves … And I leave you to talk, to tell, to carry you into Carolina.

Enjoy the ride, drinking a cappuccino with a beret on your head to the sound of La Vie en Rose.

Look of the day : Passione

“I stand upon my desk to remind myself that we must constantly look at things from different angles. And the world looks different from up here. Have I not convinced you? Come and see yourself. Come on! It’s just when you think you know something that you have to look at it from another perspective. While it may seem silly or absurd, we must try. Here, when you read, don’t just consider the author. Consider what you think. Little children, you have to fight to find your voice. Later start to do so, the thicker the risk of not finding it at all. Thoreau says, “many men have lives of quiet desperation”, do not be resigned to that. Stand up! Not die in ​​mental laziness, look around you! Thank you! Yes! Dare to change, try new roads. ” John Keating – Dead Poets Society.

Less head and more heart. Less aseptic fictions and more passion. Less brakes and more acceleration.

Look down from the precipice and decide to jump. Never make do with what you have  … Of a home, a job, a love. Always expect the best for yourself and for your lives.

A berserk passion. That fades on the mirror of a bathroom surrounded by steam between a meeting of two gazes and two souls who quietly touching, coming together. Which delves into the depths of a hidden avid dream to become reality, goads it to keep alive the sacred fire that feeds it. Taking that project, crumples it and throws it in the trash because those sentences, those concepts, those abstract lines express the void and not the love that you have towards it … And start over it again. At night. At 3:35 AM , in the pouring rain. What makes you scream Yes! I want to do! I want to do it for me because I deserve it! And is not interesting how many doors will be closed in the face, not how many No there will be said to you,  how many times they will think that you worth nothing. Because tomorrow you’ll be ahead of them, and enjoy the gracious moment of victory.

Everything with passion. And respect.

Carolina
