Benefit created this personalized method to pamper your eyebrows and pink brow bars where this procedure is done. In...

How to wear pajamas on the street

My dears, I didn’t get  so tired to forget that I left my house wearing pijamas. It may seem like that. True! But, according to the new trends, suits inspired by male pijamas are in this season. With stripes, floral patterns or uni, this summerish deux-piece is really welcome. You know why? The fabric is light, chilly and you have all the freedom to move. So far so good.How stylish is wearing such items? Well… I would like your input on this. What do you think? Would you embrace this trend? How would you accessorize such an outfit?I chose a pair of sport shoes- Stanley Smith for Adidas, an Ivy Bags bag and a Daniel Wellington watch. And now, a...

Shoes and Bags Fair @ Bucuresti Mall

My dears, I love accessories, I love shoes, I have lots of models in my wardrobe, different styles. Nevertheless, I always search for a new opportunity to update my collection with new models in trends. I remember my first trendy shoes I bought. I was in highschool back then, proud of my orange thick sole shoes. I think I bought them for 30 dollars and I was worried  I spent too much. It was the beginning of this new passion of mine for accessories. Each year I have been updating the collection with new models. Do you remember the high platform sandals we wore 15 years ago? Or the squared-toe shoes? Or the high boots with sharp toe? They were something wow at...

Alimentation and hydration from inside, cleaning and hydration from exterior, massages, special treatments and of course to do something to bring a smile to your...
