A weekend in Paris: here’s our adventure!

A weekend in Paris. Hi girls!! I’m writing to you on my way back from 4 amazing days in Paris and at Disneyland together with Human Safari, Matcha Latte and Il Turista. Paris is a city that I will never get tired of: I’m often here for work, fashion events, new openings and now Paris is like my second home (do you remember my post on “What to do in Paris, my top 7 attractions”?). It’s an elegant city that’s full of culture, great shopping and amazing food: a cared for and well-organised city. This time, however, my trip to Paris was with the French Tourism Office, CRT PARIS ILE DE FRANCE, and Disneyland Paris, who invited me to their amazing wonderland for a weekend in Paris (which I have been wanting to do for years). Let’s start at the beginning…

After flying with Air France from Florence to Paris Charles de Gaulle, we had a fantastic lunch in the famous Hall M Lounge with Air France (with a divine buffet, a relaxing area, massages… et voilà!) and a private tour of the “giants of the sky” of Air France, including the Airbus A380, as you will have seen on Snapchat. The first stop was the Hotel 1K where we left our bags and went off for an evening that we were SO excited for… the Moulin Rouge!

Weekend in Paris with a show at the Moulin Rouge!

After having seen the famous film, one of things I wanted to do more than anything was to see a show at the magical Mouline Rouge, one of the symbols of the Ville Lumière. We also had a fantastic gourmet dinner in true French style, lit up by the beautiful red lights in the centre o f the table, and all washed down with sips of scrumptious Champagne before the show. It’s not possible to take photos during the evening, but I can guarantee you that the show will exceed your wildest expectations. The show leaves you breathless! Sensual but refined, entertaining, dreamy but never erotic. The dancers’ costumes are all circus-themed, including animals, historical Paris, the 1980s, the 1920s, and they all have amazing details which makes the nudity very elegant, and bring adrenaline to the gorgeous cabaret dancing. HERE you can see a mini video of the show.

Harmont & Blaine, Paris: The Opening Event

Harmont & Blaine, Paris.Some days ago I’ve been invited in Paris by a brand that is special for me, Harmont & Blaine. Why so special? Because this brand organized one of the first blogger event ever made, I attended it 6 years ago at Pitti, in Florence. They’re pioneers, because they’ve been the first to put trust in the role of bloggers. Since then Harmont & Blaine have had a great development in many ways. I had the pleasure to see it myself in Paris. But let’s start from the beginning :)

Harmont & Blaine, Paris: 24 Hours in Paris, the Dachshund and the New Boutique!

Harmont & Blaine is a family run business of men’s, women’s and children’s clothing with a upper casual contemporary, elegant and trendy style: it’s a continuously growing brand (it opened many one brand stores everywhere in the world… soon new boutiques will open in other China and in the US). In Paris I witnessed an important step for Harmont & Blaine: the grand opening of their first French boutique. And let me say that it is amazing (and it’s not just Italian pride). If you’re in Paris stop by! The store 400 sq m and it’s located in boulevard des Capucines, in the centra new shopping area (just few steps from Galerie La Fayette). In the boutique, I particularly appreciate: the colors of furniture that represent Italy and the Mediterranean Sea, with the shades of vegetation (there’s also a garden-terrace inside the store), ocean, sand and the light of a 30 sq m led wall transmitting emotional images. When you enter this place, you don’t feel inside a prohibitive inaccessible boutique; it’s a refined, elegant yet cozy and warm space. In other words: Italians do it better!

Inside the store you can find men’s, women’s and children’s clothing. In the woman area I find some beautiful items (outwear and hats are incredible. In the pics you’ll see some of them that I tried during my afternoon visit to the store!). And here’s a little sneak peek… soon there’ll be great news in women’s clothing of the brand!
I leave you all the photos from inside the store, that we took in the afternoon and during the great opening party! What do you think? A big hug!

What to visit in Paris: my top 7 attractions (chocolate included). Vive Paris by Sonia by Sonia Rykiel

I’ve already been to Paris many times and every time it’s like the first one. Very few cities have got the same charm, elegance and relaxed atmosphere of Paris. Its language, its fashion, its food…ah Paris! Have you seen the new video by Sonia by Sonia Rykiel? A real ode to Paris: Vive Paris! There are two girls that have a stroll among the iconic places in Paris. The Trocadero, Le Louvre, Tuileries and much more. It’s really an amazing video: you can revive some amazing spots of the city with a carefree atmosphere. Like Sonia by Sonia Rykiel I have to say; so fun, and easy with this iconic Parisian chic fitting. So today, taking inspiration from the new video by the Parisian brand Sonia by Sonia Rykiel that I love for its fantastic cheerfulness, I’ve also decided to create a post with my favorite places in Paris. A mini guide for you all who are planning to go to Paris, let’s go!

I viaggi piu belli (#parte1): vi racconto la mia passione!

I viaggi piu belli (#parte1). Sono quattro le mie più grandi passioni. La moda (Vi eravate già immaginate credo, no?), il cibo e la buona cucina (e anche su questo, penso che non ci siano grossi dubbi!), la natura e gli animali, i viaggi ed il turismo. (Passioni che si coniugano una con l’altra non è vero? :).

La passione per il viaggio è in me fin da sempre. Sicuramente essere nata in una città come Firenze ha contribuito a formare il mio interesse :) Poi all’università ho deciso di continuare sulla strada dell’interesse nel turismo con una facoltà che fosse in parte incentrata anche su questo (ho fatto studi economici). Dopo la laurea (che ho conseguito molto velocemente: ehy, ve lo dico perchè non sono cosi vecchia se state facendo due calcoli!) ho iniziato a lavorare online e poi il blog mi ha permesso di viaggiare e di realizzare così anche una delle mie passioni, saziare in parte la mia voglia di viaggio e di turismo. Certo, spesso sono viaggi mordi e fuggi, principalmente per lavori e collaborazioni che a conti fatti non mi permettono di vivere il luogo in profondità come sono abituata a fare quando viaggio esclusivamente per piacere. Però è bello, mi emoziona, mi appassiona. Ed il mio goal per il 2014 riguarda un po’ anche questa passione (anzi, le mie quattro passioni!).. ma non vi anticipo altro!

Così vorrei farvi vedere i miei “migliori viaggi” con un collage dei post a tema viaggio, moda, cibo e natura. Oggi la prima parte: se volete vedere di più ECCO LA MAPPA con tutti i miei viaggi! Un abbraccione e aspetto i vostri commenti!

♥

My greatest passions are four. Fashion, food, nature, travels. My passion for travels has always been inside me. The fact I was born in a city like Florence has definitely contributed to build this interest. Then at university I decided to continue on the path of tourism. And this blog has also allowed me to travel and to realize in this way one of my biggest passions. My goal for 2014 concerns also this passion! So I’d like to show you my “best trips” with a collage of my posts, regarding travels, fashion, food and nature. Today the first part: if you want to see more, HERE’S THE MAP with all my trips! A big hug and I wait for your comments!

Il diario segreto di due giorni a Parigi con Clarins: SPA, laboratori top secret e camici…

Il diario segreto di due giorni a Parigi con Clarins: SPA, laboratori top secret e camici…

Il diario segreto. Esattamente una settimana fa ero in partenza per Parigi, dove ho trascorso due giorni immersa in un mare di creme, trucchi, trattamenti, benessere e in un mondo tutto rosa..anzi rosso! Clarins ci ha invitate (e siamo arrivate da ogni angolo d’Europa, sul serio!) a scoprire il proprio mondo, non solo quello classico dei prodotti storici o dei nuovi prodotti. Ma il loro mondo più segreto ed intimo: i laboratori di ricerca, le persone che giornalmente lavorano ai prototipi dei prodotti che probabilmente poi troveremo noi in profumeria, la parte propriamente produttiva e logistica. Ma anche il mondo Clarins in istituto (Lo sapete che Clarins in realtà a differenza di molti dei marchi di cosmesi più conosciuti nasce per prodotti da cabina, da SPA lusso invece che da profumeria?): i tocchi e le carezze della gestualità del mondo Clarins, il cibo genuino e detox, il benessere del corpo e dello spirito attraverso esercizio fisico e piscine. Ma iniziamo dal principio… (continua!).

♥

One week ago I was leaving for Paris where I have spent two days among creams, make up, treatments, beauty and a pink (well, red) world thanks to Clarins! Clarins has invited a lot of bloggers from all over Europe to dicover not only the bestseller or the new products of Clarins.. but their intimate and secret world: le search lab, the people, real people that every day work on new products (And the feeling is like a big family and that’s great!), the production area (super fascinating!). But also the Clarins SPA concept: the touch, oh well, the touch! The genuine food, the gym, the detox concept.. but let’s start from the beginning!
