Nicolas Ghesquiere’s debut collection for Louis Vuitton proved to be the high point of the Paris Fashion Week. He definitely did steal the show and numerous hearts with his work.

All were waiting for the time when the directional-yet-wearable collection would make its red carpet debut. The bigger wait was to see who would wear it.

Speculations came to a hault when unsurprisingly, in less than a week after it came down the runway, French actress/musician Charlotte Gainsbourg wore it, quite chicly, to a New York premiere of her upcoming Lars von Trier film, “Nymphomaniac.”Charlotte is known as a friend and muse of Nicolas.

When you are starting a new blog project, you need to keep it fresh and engaging. If it’s your first time working in this area, here are three tips to stay on track and keep traffic to your blog high.


Organization

Organization is the key to have everything under control. You need to be clear about what you want from your blog, how you can make it and how you want to make your audience feel. Don’t make any speculations, try to keep your goals real and be focused all the time. After you’ve decided every aspect you need a plan, make a list of your priorities and the information areas you want to cover. Check step by step and take your time, sometimes we focus on everything at the same time. This makes it hard to put the right effort into each and every process. A perfect itinerary will give you the option to play with time.

Search

All the information you post in your blogs needs to be commercial, popular, real and easy to understand. Searching regularly will help you to know what people like and what else is on the market. Original and fresh are the keywords of success. Also, searching will give you another perspective of fashion you can capture with your articles. You can never have too much information; read, look through photos and be in touch with fashion daily. It’s good to check out some websites for new trends, look up Tillys , they have the best line of clothing, accessories and marketing ideas.

Social Media

Social Media is everywhere, because people usually spend a good part of their time on it. You need to use that as an advantage to promote your blog. You need to post at least a couple of times daily, with new information, fashion trends, pictures, etc. Also you can use social medias to meet people interested in the same topics as you, they can help you with new posting techniques, fashion events, photoshoots… they can even share your blog on their social media.

This is a full time job, but if you love what you do, everything will be a piece of cake. Take care of your blog and your blog will take care of you!

How to be a Parisian girl wherever you are?

Published

on

Each season, a book comes out that is a must have in the fashion world. That honour has been awarded in the past to the memoirs of the famous stylist Grace Coddington, then memory book from trendsetter Alex Chung, and this season fashion lovers, especially French fashion are going crazy over book “How to be Parisian Wherever You Are”.

Authors of the book are four native Parisian girls, from whom most famous is model, music producer and trendsetter loved by fashion photographers, Caroline de Maigret. The other three are movie producer Sophie Mas, Anne Berest who wrote biography Francoise Sagan and journalist Audrey Diwan.

Girls have really gave their best to present a Parisian girl like she truly is (or at least as the rest of the world thinks she looks like) – independent, a little selfish, hedonist, a little snobbish, feminist, takes good care about herself in spiritual and physical way. They have described her from a point of view of men who had chance to meet that typical Parisian girl and also from their own point of view which is a bit ironic and mocking.

If we would divide the impression of a Parisian girl by segments, it would go something like this:

Fashion

Parisian girls are exclusively wearing quality and out of their time clothes, they do not follow trends, they have a piece of clothing they feel best in, they buy in both expensive stores and on the street markets, and they don’t like glam.

If they have only one sweater in their closet it has to be made from cashmere.

They never put too much colors and accessories on themselves, they don’t put out the brand name and logo on clothes, they don’t wear polyester clothes and strass jeans, and they especially avoid UGG boots.

Each Parisian has her own fashion piece that doesn’t have to be expensive or extravagant, but she needs to feel comfortable in it, and she needs to look good in it, for example a leather jacket.

Parisian girl isn’t scared to search for clothes on the street market or on eBay. They combine navy and black, and they don’t follow trends. Trends are following them.

Deep cleavage is vulgar and reflection of insecurity, instead of cleavage they would rather wear a mini skirt, but with good cut, and they do not wear heels with it.

They would rather marry in a vintage dress then in a regular overpriced weeding dress. While pregnant they buy normal clothes in XL size instead of clothes for pregnant women.

They realized that black perfectly hides the lack of taste in clothing.

Beauty

Parisian girls aren’t afraid of aging, and they do not seek plastic surgery, or at least they do not admit they have done it, because corrections are barely noticeable.

Parisian girls find their distinct perfume before they are thirty and they are wearing it till the end of their lives, and they do not leave the home without it.

They never put too much makeup, they never go for hair drying, and their hair is never flawless, because they rather like to give it a personal seal. Of course, this haircut recipe should be avoided at older age.

Moisturizing crème, corrector, mascara and red lipstick are much more important on their face then liquid powder, and makeup removal before bed should never be optional.

You will not see French manicure on a French girl, because their nails are usually short and clean.

Their teeth are never artificially white.

They are not slaves of cult of perfect body, and they go to the gym when they are in the mood, and not because they should.

French girls enjoy all those little imperfections that Mother Nature has given them, and they tend to pull out the best from it.

Love – Parisian girls are fragile, but they will never admit that, so they leave an impression of cold, liberal and bold women, but never vulgar.

Family – Family is important to them, but not the most important and they will never make an absolute sacrifice for their family.

Cooking – They now how to cook and they cook best when they want to impress guests they have invited to dinner, and they want that all the time.

Culture – They are going to theater, museums and concerts all the time, they believe that culture is vital for good health.

Now before rushing out outside to start your image change to become more like a Parisian girl, first think about your finances, because an image change is not an inexpensive thing, especially if you are already in debt. Think about checking out the top ten reviews of debt consolidation services that could help you settle your debt or plan it. Good debt planning will allow you to start your image and style change, and become a Parisian look alike at no time.

Makeup: 3 tips to shape and illuminate the face

Published

on

1. The golden rule: brighten the skin to attract attention

The goal is to bring to light key areas we want to highlight (like cheekbones) and shade areas we want to avoid highlight (round cheeks, forehead too, etc.. ). It is not to transform, but to give a boost to nature by building on our strengths. Moreover, the experts all agree on one thing: we must emphasize that we love in our face rather than hide what we like least.

2. Good texture

Your best friends? Products in cream form: they are easier to fade, and they can be mixed to achieve the perfect shade to light shade or parts of the face.

3. Good technique

After imperfections camouflaged uniform and the color of the skin with a foundation, we sculpt the face playing with shadows and light. Modeler (term referring to cosmetics that are darker than your skin) and illuminator (which refers to clearer complexion that our makeup) can be applied with fingers, brush or sponge. What matters is that the result is uniform and almost imperceptible. Another good tip: makeup in daylight to avoid unpleasant surprises!
