ZARA

Feels like summer!

Winter mood is always “nesting-bird” chic and definitely a comfort to someone suffering from fashion Tourette (new season, new colors, new outfit, new shoes, newnewnew). Muted colors, feathers and fur, PJ trousers and who cares if you hide your toes in Birkenstocks (socks still on) hibernating on the couch with loads of wine.

With the first rays of sun though, not only flowers are blooming but the fashion spirit awakens again, and after the annual panic attack (NEED TO WAX, NEED PEDI!) the desire to slip into open toes and sleeveless shirts reappears, ditching the winter coat for a very long time. YES!
Except that some of this years summer trends are quite winterly: rusty tones (70-ties), feathers on jackets (Burberry), shawls everywhere (Rock star attitude). Sorrynotsorry said all designers and I don't care either, as long as I can take the most appreciated accessory of mine everywhere: the SUN!

Will refuse that Birkenstock trend though which some idiot decided was hot in SS2015. Will save it for next winter (new season, new outfit, new shoes, newnewnew!!!!!!!!).

The fourth element

I've always been fascinated with water, especially if it’s fermented with delicious grapes and comes in a bottle labeled 'Champagne'. And while browsing my blog archives it occurred to me that most of the top shooting locations were located near a gorgeous water environment. Welcome to my shooting special.

Totally thrown back by the marvelous settings, I started daydreaming in the middle of the winter about the rough windy beauty of Pantellaria, an island I had never heard of before. The memories of struggling in a paddle boat on lake Fuschl on a beautiful summer day and don’t get me started on the most outrageous BEST EVER journey to Brazil, with its dreamy coast line and crystal clear sea.

Everything seems so much easier when you are surrounded by that fourth element, some sun and a decent summery sandal (or wedge). Therefor I might just jump into the bath tub and pretend it’s a wild, untamed ocean. Heels on, and why not pop some champagne too. It’s water after all.

What to wear #10 days in Brazil

Am famous for (always!) traveling with a bag the size of a small Volkswagen (even for a small trip to the countryside: I mean, even wellies come in different colours and patterns, and of course you need to be able to choose and change spontaneously from Hunter to Burberry...) but going to Brazil was different.

Not having read or prepared a thing, all I knew about the contintent were actually some songs and (of course) famous drinks.

Though I had to deal with the most uncomfortable situation of being totally misdressed and underwhelmingly prepared for my first Brazilian wedding (plus the humiliation of not even being able to find an appropriate dress for the occasion at Zara in Coritiba: you always find a dress at Zara!!!...), I had had some instincts about what to quickly throw in a small suitcase to cover 10 days, 4 different locations and 7 flights in total.

I am already dreaming (while unpacking) of packing my belongings for the next time: then I swear I’m gonna go with the big bag: you know that one the size of a ....

Move over Jamie!

Besides being crazy about heels, I have another (more hidden) passion: cooking. Whenever I have the time, I love strolling around markets, shopping for food (the pleasure of smelling truffles or herbs is almost similar to the irresistible scent of a brand-new leather shoe), and trying my best in the kitchen to pamper friends and BF.

Cooking requires a lot of practise though, and - like learning to walk in 10 inches (don't stumble, mind the gaps!) - some time until one is able to produce something presentable. The deflated souffles, the sticky rice, the burnt chicken, the watery veggies: I had them exactly as often as the usual blister, the sore toes and the charming appearance of a drunken sailor tottering in extreme highs. But eventually never giving up pays off, and today am juggling heels and kitchen knives kinda OK-ish (aka still ambitious).

Must pat myself on the back, perhaps bragging just a little, but if I humbly compare myself to idol Mr. Oliver, I may very well win when it comes to being “hot while cooking". As far as I know, Jamie never wears high heels.

Heel Therapy

Am a "guilty as charged" fan of gossip and always keen on some girl chit-chat, so when I bumped into Mrs. X on the way home from the supermarket (her with a brand new Mulberry tucked under her arm, me with a bunch of vegetables, life is so unfair sometimes), I was - other than trying to cling on to my greens as if they were some precious Chanel - eager to hear her recent stories.

Was surprised to sense a rather negative vibe though, involving a lot of "s" and "c" words and they all had nothing to do with nice things like "sun" or "cute". Wondering where all the anger is coming from? (Note to self: over-expensive handbag as therapy to make you happy = urban legend).

Am tempted to prescribe a huge mix of other berries (aka Cosmopolitan) to wash down frustration. Also want to hand over TV guide (brand new baby, and utterly soothing literature, I promise, you will relax right away). Am bothered. Surely you can't be all miserable when the weather is beautiful enough to allow sunglasses and a bikini? Wonder if I shall donate my wedges (heel therapy always works) to her: they are not Mulberry, but butterflies always have this positive effect on people. Will generously accept her handbag in return.

Massive Madness

Although Cannes itself is a massive and mad experience with more parties to attend than time and stamina allow, there is one event in particular that stands out and tops them all: the Massive Music party.

Showing off that you scored a ticket is more prestigious than running around with a festival pass for the whole week. But if you got lucky…… man! What&a&party!

This year they created The World’s Biggest Agency (operating just for one night), celebrating with the top of the advertising business such as “Chief Executive Bitch”, “Most Valuable Content Gimp”, “Chief Nonsense Ambassador” or “Fucking Amazing Codswallop Powder Monkey”.

Oh, and there was the world’s biggest sound system, smashing-down-the-walls-and-bursting-your-ear-drums making anyone jealous watching the spectacle from afar. And the world’s biggest copying machine (aka DJ booth) making Bill Clinton wish (rumor has it he was there) he had brought Monica.

And so much fun.
And so much wine.
And so much dancing.
So much Massive Madness that I&can’t&concentrate&nor&write&anymore&due&to&overwhelming&experience.

Thank you Massive Music for making my week on Wednesday already!
