“Time was passing like a hand waving from a train I wanted to be on… I hope you never have to think about anything as much as I think about you.”
— Jonathan Safran Foer
Regardless of your age or where you are in life right now, perhaps you will generally resonate with my thoughts here – some things I don’t want to regret down the road…
Life is moments…!
Life is a precious gift..!
Let’s try to enjoy it the full…because time lapses so fast and never comes back…!
Every time Chanel presents a new collection , I feel like being in a place of a special celebration..!
This season, Chanel’s creative director Virginie Viard , designed for a marriage party composed of her haute couture cabine, some 32 models in all.
These are not, as Viard says, the conventional fancy nuptials one might expect from a Parisian couture collection, but instead “more bohemian style—more a wedding or a family celebration in a village than at the Ritz!” complete with “the mother and the aunt, [and] the 15-year-old girl dressing up for the first time”—the latter in a tiny little grown-up black dress of spangled black tulle worn with 1980s opaque white tights.
“Without unity, there is no peace, only bitterness and fury; no progress, only exhausting outrage; no nation, only a state of chaos,” Joe Biden declared after taking the Presidential oath on 20 January. “This is our historic moment of crisis and challenge. And unity is the path forward. And we must meet this moment as the United States of America.”
Curate your dream wardrobe with the parental pieces you will treasure forever.

If there’s one thing we learnt in 2020, it’s the power of positivity.
Here are my affirmations & suggestions for a better 2021…
An incredible recipe from by mum’s cookery book …!
Vasilopita is the highlight of the season’s festivities for me. The special dessert is named after St Basil, a very wealthy and generous man living in Cappadocia in the 4th century who, as the story goes, decided to distribute his fortune to those in need, by making small pies and hiding money or jewellry in each one of them.
On New Year’s Day in Greece and in many European countries, families cut the Vasilopita (New Year’s white cake) to bless the house and bring good luck for the new year.
This is usually done at the midnight of New Year’s Eve. A coin is hidden in the cake by slipping it into the dough after baking. At midnight the sign of the cross is etched with a knife across the cake. A piece of cake is sliced for each member of the family and any visitors present at the time, as well as for Saints or whomever else the household wants to honour, by order of age from eldest to youngest.
Whoever finds the coin is supposed to have good luck for the rest of the year .
Wishing every one of you a very Happy New Year for 2021.
If looking on the bright side feels harder than usual right now, you’re not alone. After a turbulent year, people are feeling tired, jaded, and in dire need of a spring in their step – and with no immediately obvious remedy in sight.
Taking a proactive approach to positive thinking is, however, important for our health.
Here are my recommendations to ensure that your year ahead in 2021 is exactly what you want it to be.
Red, the Colour of Celebration..!
When time is of the essence, nothing beats the convenience of a fast classy & fabulous shopping experience. Like always, our favorite retail pieces doesn’t disappoint as we found a selection of limited-edition gift sets, in the colours of Christmas .
It’s only ten days until Christmas and despite the fact that this is the most strange Christmas ever , I think that there is a hidden message inside the general fear and anxiety.
FAMILY , the most important thing in the world..! Christmas with our family , our sanctuary , our rock in any sense…!
So go ahead and start picking up presents for them…! Kids, parents , siblings and of course your only one..! Husband, life partner, boyfriend …!
They are all always there for you and they deserve the best..!
La Pausa, Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel’s fabled house in Roquebrune in the south of France, was probably the inspiration for one of the most spectacular , recent fashion shows we had the opportunity to enjoy.
Chanel’s creative director Virginie Viard was taken on a tour of the storied Chateaux of the Loire. At the time, she was more impressed by the splendors of Chambord than the more intimate charm of the fairytale Château de Chenonceau. Revisiting Chenonceau earlier this year, however, when the castle was planned as the setting for an in-person Métiers d’Art show Viard was struck by how closely the atmosphere of the place evoked La Pausa.
