Guerlain Meteorites

I've always been caught by those little coloured pearls, but I've never had the courage to buy them.

I've always thought they were expensive, that I wouldn't have used them, and...

Boy I was wrong! After years and years of contemplating, last week I finally bought Guerlain Meteorites in Teint Rosé and I'm addicted. They are the perfect finishing touch to my make-up and make my skin look much better.

And I was wrong on the price too: I've paid 37.50 euro (with little discount) for a product that will last forever.

Guerlain Meteorites also come in Teint Beige and Teint Doré, and also in pressed powder.

Visit Guerlain to view their whole range, which I'm now addicted to! I've always been a loyal Chanel customer, but some Guerlain products really intrigued me. Will keep you updated.

back again!

"It's been a long time, now I'm coming back home..." sang the Beatles, and I must admit it's been way too much time since my last post.

I'm still on the hunt for the perfect everyday bag, I have not found "The One" yet.

I'm instead happy to announce that a second Kelly has entered my collection, and I have added some shoes and Hermes scarves too.

I think I should take some pictures for you all!

Orchestra Mozart and Diego Matheuz

I love classical music and for me it was a great surprise to read that Claudio Abbado was going to conduct the opening concert of Ravenna Festival 2010. An occasion not to be missed, so I booked my tickets.

Unfortunately Mr. Abbado had to cancel all his June dates due to health problem and he suggested that his pupil Diego Matheuz could conduct the "Mozart Orchestra" at the opening concert.

The whole program was

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Sinfonia n. 41 in do maggiore K 551 “Jupiter” (1788)
Sergej Prokof’ev
Concerto per pianoforte e orchestra n. 3 in do maggiore op. 26 (1921)
solista Nikolai Demidenko
Felix Mendelssohn
Sinfonia n. 4 in la maggiore, op. 90 “Italiana” (1833)

Needless to say, the whole concert was breathtaking. I was impressed by the power of Diego Matheuz, also given his young age (he's 26).

The inexpensive outfit of the day 06/09/10

So what did I wear for the concert? It was quite an hot day and the concert was going to be held in a close space.

As Mozart's "Jupiter" was going to be played, I decided to wear my "Hommage à Mozart" scarf as a top. Unfortunately it kept slipping on my shirt so I soon converted it into a kimono belt (not pictured here).

So the whole outfit was

- Max & Co. white shirt;

- Stefanel trousers

- Hommage à Mozart scarf

- Gucci white high heeled shoes (not pictured)

- Vintage LV Speedy 30 (again, not pictured!)

I'm back!

It's been a while I haven't been posting, but it really was an exhausting period and didn't have much time to blog!

But now I'm back and will try to keep things more updated, ok?

Artcurial Hermes Vintage Sale

On May 11th French Auction house Artcurial will schedule an Hermes Vintage auction. This is a special appointment for anyone collecting Hermes since you can find not only bags but also saddles, shoes and scarves. Hermes auctions are usually held twice a year, in May and November. I will probably place a bid for a little something, keep finger crossed for me!
