There is something to be said about lace, specially during warmer days. The design can be delicate, feminine and extremely sensual depending on the styling. I prefer flower patters, as it echoes a flirty mood, regardless of the color tones. Choosing the fabric can be difficult, as if not done properly, the garment can rip, so its often best to pay a bit more to get a piece you can wear on the long-term.

The summer is rolling over faster than I thought. Of course, NYC weather is volatile and the temperature raises and falls unexpectedly. That said, this generates complications in terms of skincare and hair treatment in hotter days. I can already feel my hair drying out, my skin becoming greasier and my lips drying out from dehydration. So, what can we do to balance our bodies and look our bast during the spring and summer days? Here are some products that will easily fix our daily challenges, as our bodies start to adjust to climate changes!

1. Fresh Brown Sugar Body Polish - One of my favorites! This product will remove all the dirt in our bodies, while moisturizing and revitalizing the clean layer of skin.

2. Clarisonic - I’ve been using this product for 3 months now and I love it! No more zits and my skin is not irritated. Hotter days are known to accumulate more dirt, but this device will remove all the grind and leave your skin silky smooth.

3. Fresh Sugar Petal Lip Balm - Soft yet extremely hydrating, with a hint of color. Your lips will never feel softer (NOT oily!).

4. Ojon Damage Reverse Restorative Shampoo and Conditioner - After refusing to try this product for months, I gave a few weeks ago. My hair was drying out and I refused to get it cut. I resorted to this product, which is made to revitalize and repair damaged hair. Note that my hair was NOT damaged, but just dry and brittle. My hair has made a 360 turn, and it now feels silky and soft, just like it should!

Garance Dore’s new project will involve discovering the world of Kering Group, which owns well-established luxury brands such as Gucci, Stella McCartney and YSL. Executives talk fashion, designers and vision. Here is the first story, already featured in Vimeo and Refinery29. So what do you think, does this bring the fashion group one step closer to home?

I recently attended a meeting where I was addressed as nonchalant. I wasn’t quite sure whether that meant my style, attitude or both? I decided to reflect on the true social meaning of this commonly used fashion expression. We read on glossy magazines how celebrities and tastemakers are referred as having an “elegant yet nonchalant” sense of style, assuming their attires embrace a hybrid between minimalist and utilitarian styles. But, what are people really thinking when they describe an individual as “nonchalant”? Does this mean the person is overly confident, rather careless or too relaxed? When is it appropriate to evoke this attribute and when can it be taken negatively? More so, is this state-of-being considered undesirable in a professional environment?

I have been following this brand for the past couple of months, ever since Lust for Life raved about her new bikini. I have to say I am blown away by the designs, which embrace an 90’s vibe with a burst of sensuality. The cuts remind me of the Brazilian bikinis I can only find at home (known for their skimpy bottoms), and I a love the layering and unexpected zippers placed in “sensitive” areas of the body. The brand just hit Nasty Gal, so hurry up and order, because I am positive all the stock will be gone by the summer comes around!
