My Look: Timelapse

Sometimes I feel that I am living a life in timelapse. This morning, I had to wake up very early to catch the first flight out of Heathrow and I had to remind me where I am when I woke up. Last week I was in Paris, next week I am in Athens. I love traveling so much. However, I have a feeling time just flies when you are so busy.

These photos were taken in Paris before I went on the Orient- Express, where I wore this outfit for dinner. I love the little timelapse reference of the video cassette bag.

My look: Convertible embellished cashmere and cotton-blend cardigan by Areaicon, dropped waist ruffle tulle logo graphic skirt (Look 1 F/W 2021), and VHS video tape reverse monogram clutch bag (Look 1 S/S 2020), both by Louis Vuitton, Double Bow crystal-embellished glittered leather point-toe pumpsicon by Mach & Mach, embellished silver-tone belt, and silver-tone, crystal and faux pearl clip earrings by Alessandra Richicon, and Neughman pilot sunglasses by Tom Ford.

LoL, Sandra

Tom Ford Soleil Summer 2021

This spring, I was invited to discover the new limited edition TOM FORD BEAUTY SOLEIL SUMMER 2021 collection, magnetizes with innovative new experiences of solar gold, through a virtual zoom meeting. Beforehand, I received a lovely package filled with lots of goodies from the American brand, such as the amazing Neughman pilot sunglasses that I put on immediately during the presentation.

«The warmth of amber and mix of florals render this fragrance original. SOLEIL BRÛLANT is addictive… the boldest version of Soleil.» – TOM FORD

First let me introduce you to the new SOLEIL BRÛLANT Eau de Parfum (available as in two sizes, 50ml flacon and 250ml.) An opulent, golden sun; a secluded island escape – SOLEIL BRÛLANT, the third expression in the Soleil franchise, releases sun kissed florals warmed by amber, conjuring a blazing encounter between gilded rays and bare skin.

The floral oriental scent is an invitation to an uninhibited summer, where high-shine solar brilliance mingles with the intense freshness of mandarin and bergamot. Spicy pink peppercorn gives way to an ornate and regal floral heart of jasmine sambac, tuberose and orange flower absolutes. As the sun and body embrace, the warmth of decadent amber intensified by resins, woods, and black honey nectar exudes a seductive vapor. Invigorating coffee Arabica and tonka bean awaken the extravagant smokiness of incense, vetiver, and leather.

The collection includes also two limited edition make-up products:


SOLEIL CREAM AND POWDER EYE COLOR – Black Sand
A two-tiered eye color, this duo creates deeply seductive eye look with an ultra-pigmented, black
cream base hue and a high-shine golden powder.

SOLEIL LIP GLOSS – Sunlust
This pearlescent gloss sweeps on golden, then shade-shifts into a soft shimmering rose-peach
glow with subtle shine.

Here are two other products of the SOLEIL collection that I personally love and you shouldn’t miss:

SOLEIL GLOW BRONZER – Gold Dust
iconThis medium bronzer gives your skin a sun-kissed glow that’s genuinely healthy – it’s packed with nourishing ingredients. The lightweight formula is infused with finely milled shimmer that looks so natural.

SOLEIL BLANC SHIMMERING BODY OIL – Rose Gold
icon Designed to give skin a sun-kissed glow all year round, this shimmering body oil is scented with amber, sandalwood and fresh floral notes to evoke the smell of summer.

My Look: Greenpeace

Stella McCartney supports Greenpeace‘s campaign to stop Amazon deforestation. The T-shirt as well as the sweater are both part of this collaboration with the iconic non-profit organization that aims to raise awareness of climate change. They have been made in Italy from soft organic cotton-jersey that’s tie-dyed and patterned with a vibrant rainforest print. With no toxic chemicals, this sustainable cotton uses up to 70% less water than conventional cotton. The same goes for the pants that have been made from sustainable viscose that stands for no deforestation.

My look: Greenpeace printed organic cotton-jersey sweatshirt, Greenpeace printed tie-dyed organic cotton-jersey T-shirticon, and Julia elasticated-cuff cady trousersicon, all by Stella McCartney, Relax shearling flip flops by Aquazzura, Neughman pilot sunglasses by Tom Ford, logo hair clip by CHANEL, diamond earrings by Cartier, and Carrera Automatic Chronograph by TAG Heuer.
