“I wanted to play with several references from the past and also how I see things in the future,” he said. “I wanted clothes that were not only for the red carpet but also to wear and enjoy.”

Cultured pearls

The latest addiction in my treasure box, arms, ears and hands are jewelleries ''knitted'' closely with valuable pearls.

One of my favorite pieces is the crop top. This damn little fabric remained from the 90s magical era in two conditions. Firstly, wear in style avoiding to look like 'Sexdoll' and secondly beware of your sweet belly. Kick it off as soon as possible! Most of the times I prefer it in black or white toned.
Try it with a pencil skirt or a widy loose pants, a blazer or a jacket and go!

  The first step of all: Apply a moisturizer with SPF to help concealer glide on smoothly.

Use a foundation stick
Apply smoothly on cheeks and nose and shimmering powder on the temple
For more intensity, rim your upper lash lines with a brown liner pencil and smudge it upward with your shadow brush.

Eternal Couple

black&white by elforelegantlife featuring a black diamond bracelet

Black and white are the colours I love the most. The eternal two toned couple is the chicest way to get dressed.
Combine a minimal white dress with a pair of classic black heels or simply a cropped top with a mini skirt.
