{t. time} chic

A few wise words ...

This week, I've been re-organizing a part of my closet and getting rid of unworn clothes. For me, this is the best thing to do in order to make room for better-fiiting clothes that really reflect who I am and look good on me. Somehow, whenever I engage in this type of activity, I always feel the need to take better care of myself (body and mind): I make some extra efforts for my health (meaning "hello again Jane Fonda workout, meditation, massages and healthier food habits") and personal grooming (skin, hair, nails, clothes, etc), and I love the enthusiastic feeling that it all gives me.

I really hope that you've had a great week-end!

Until tomorrow, take care.

Perfect hair with Andre Walker

I haven't tried these products yet (I have family members living in the US, so I will sooner or later), but I am ready to give them a try as I must admit that I have been admiring Oprah's stylist for a while. Because whether you like Oprah's hairdos or not, one thing is certain: the woman has fantastic hair!

After reading these four rules for perfect hair and learning about the launch of this line, I can't wait to have my hands on an ultimate gift set and share my experience about them. The set includes a Keratin Shampoo, a Keratin Conditioner, a Q-oil... and hair make-up, a secret weapon for when your salon appointment is days or weeks away!

Beauty in white and blue

 

Hello there, and sorry for the long absence. I must have eaten too many love cakes, I guess...

Today, I am back with these two white and blue cosmetic cases: a striped one with "love is life" written on it by Diane Von Furstenberg, and a spotty one by Kate Spade.

I'd love to have a larger version of this on my wall

Nothing new here, but I just had to say that I love this Chanel N°5 ad, and I'll be delighted when I find an image of it that I can frame. The very chic train with its wood panels, the simplicity of the black dress, the natural beauty of Audrey Tautou, and of course... the mythic perfume bottle, all contribute to make me love it. I might just have a magazine ad version framed.

Penhaligon's Christmas gift collection

I've been a huge fan of this typically British perfumes brand since I discovered it many years ago. And yet, Penhaligon's Christmas gift collection still manages to enchant me with its illustrations and refined details.

Amazing oil

 

Huile Prodigieuse is a multi-usage dry oil with a unique superactivated formula combining 30 % Precious Plant Oils and Vitamin E. It is excellent for the face, body and hair, so I cannot recommend it enough to all my friends.

Beautiful packaging

 I love the new vintagey packaging of Boots beauty products by Camilla Lilliesköld, to celebrate the brand's 160th anniversary. It's gorgeous!

 

Golden leaves headbands

I love Eddera headbands! They are so feminine and romantic, I'd love to wear them with my summer dresses.

I love this new makeup line

Makeup by Topshop (I know, I love the brand!). The packaging is awesome, so I can only hope that the quality is just as great, because I'm ready to become a fan.

So gorgeous!!!

Green and Spring is a new British range of skin products that is so gorgeous that it looks as if it was primarily created to decorate the bathroom shelves! The packaging, with its illustrations of English birds, is just awesome! Made with 100% natural plants and free of additives and synthetic ingredients, the products are eco-friendly and of great quality - therefore being as good for your skin as they are for the pleasure of the eyes. How could I not fall in love with this brand?
