Zen style like Donna Karan

I looooove to see how other people live, especially  inspiring people .....
What about this Zen like Manhattan appartment of designer Donna Karan ?

Not only did she create a "home collection "with  a lot of soul .....,

she is trying to help the world with her "Urban Zen" collection (handmade in Bali) , not only a lifestyle brand but also a charitable foundation .......(with style)

Monaco Grand Prix Style

I was in Monaco last weekend for the 69 th Formula 1 " Grand Prix de Monaco ".  Not much fashion to discover in the streets at that moment ( except for Ferrari T-shirts and red Bull outfits ...) Our view from the balcony was like this:

and like this:

and yes my ears survived ...

But I was more interested in the technicians and rally drivers because of their outfits: their utilitarian jumpsuits .... because even in fashion jumpsuits are a trend that just won't die. Yes,  they're still on the fashion radar.   I embrace it because they're so easy and really cool (even if you're not a prisoner or rally driver ....) and there are so many options for a variety of types and social situations ( I wore one at the Grand prix) and I adore them because my expanding closet is just full of them.....everybody is jumping for a jumpsuit: 

Vanessa paradis in Chanel !   And oh, I really love this YSL:

Magnolia

If you're a complexion perfection addict, you have to visit one of "Magnolia"'s boudoir like pop-up stores in different towns around Belgium, where you can enjoy their "beauty tastings". I loved this peaceful, nicely decorated girls heaven straight away...

You'll find all the beauty must buys: brands like Tocca, Memo (fab smelling scented candles, home fragrances ...), Honoré des près, Juliette has a gun, Jimmy Jane, Laura Mercier, Essie, Face  .....  you know, perfect stuff if you're at a pre-holiday mission and need the best skincare and/or make-up products to achieve dewy, radiant and glowing skin ......

You can order online if you're in a hurry or just check their website for the pop-up events at www.magnoliashop.be.

You'll feel pretty, oh so pretty
