Customized Pouches



I found these American Apparel pouches and I got a rush of creativity and decided to customize each one to make them a little more personal and fun to wear! You can use them as a clutch- a ipad case- a small computer case or even a traveling case.... I made one for my mom, mimi and myself as Xmas presents...
Got all the feathers and studs at Marché Saint Pierre the Holy Land for fashion designers- seamtresses- and anyone that loves to create..
I always get great inspiration when I am there!

Pure Honey


 


 




 






 A few pictures from Last week- Spending a night at the Setai Hotel pampering ourselves before Xmas!

Xmas is still in the air and will continue until New Years Eve...Not to mention the Xmas decoration will still be up until February... Speaking about Decoration, love how Dolce & Gabanna made their Xmas Window look like an Italian fairytale market filled with goodies... Bling is back from Prada jewels and D&G I decided to dig out my old bling I have put away for years now... I guess with the crisis Fashion is seeking to make people dream again- with excess bling, colors, glamour & romanticism! Its a huge change from the minilist years we have been experiencing... Which I personnaly love for my everyday looks! But a little spark here and there doesn't hurt! Fashion is a state of mind so change it up...

My Favorite cocktail Chili Passion Martini From the Setai Hotel. (Chili-infused Vodka, Passion Fruit-infused Rum, Ginger Syrup and Chili Flakes.)
 Be aware it is a very spicy Drink! I get so addicted to spicy I always want more and never know when to stop... Just like the Pasta Arrabiata... Yumm!

The Bow tie for the gentlemen- my brother is a character of his own!  Jojo loves to dress up in colors- suits- ties and funky shoes I guess its runs into the family- he isn't scared of wearing what he likes which I admire a lot as teenagers usually just follow each other like sheeps!  He definitely has his own style and the Bow tie  was is number one Xmas wish to pimp up in Rosey dinners! My father found this Lanvin bow tie in Colette a little more young and casual!

 Yellow is the color for this Season and nothing more precious then a little colorful Chanel bag. I just want to eat it up! However I can not because first of all it is bag and second of all it's Mimi's little precious gift she received for her Birthday!

The Art of Presentation


 Desserts at the Hotel d'Angleterre in Geneva.. They have an exquisite brunch menu on Sundays...
I've always been in admiration of the food presentation in restaurants - just had share this one with you :-)
 This is one of my goals to master the art of presentation for my own home cooked meals!
As Xmas is coming up soon its time to Indulge ourselves! Every year with the family we start our Xmas week by a sinful & copious french restaurant such as Le Voltaire - They have amazing Foie Gras! Or L'Amis Louis which is another great institution that I highly recommend...  However just make sure you have good appetite that day you will be rolling out of the restaurant!  
Next week it's time for Home cooked meals! I am over-excited to get into the cooking with my mom and my sister!  All the family reunited to share a meal is a true blessing!
Have a wonderful Xmas Holiday!

So Please Enjoy it's Weekend!

Stick to the List...






I always collect catalogues and leaflets from any kind of product really - If its esthetically appealing and eye catching then the brand has a good marketing theme- Which is interesting for me to get some inspiration for Lotty Dotty. It is important to know how to present your product so people remember your brand but also to bring an emotional experience that will make your product more unique then others and even unforgettable. This year Chanel took extra care on making their Xmas catalogue even more special... Usually a catalogue you just glance it quickly and throw it away although a few luxury brands do put effort of making a nice book that you actually want to keep for a couple of weeks on your coffee table... But Chanel took their catalogue further by making stickers... how fun really? Something so whimsical for a luxury brand is quiet rare... Loved the idea of making the brand more accessible allowing people to discover the collection in a play full way- Bringing them back to their childhood memories! Great emotional experience for Xmas...
