“To feel at ease in your home is a bit like picking an outfit, you should personalize it with small elements, which will reflect the beautiful person that you are.” Hey my Lovelies, hope you are well! As you know, I have recently launched a new category on the blog where I am sharing with you my great passion for Interior Design. So today, I would like to share with you one of my favorite secret to perfectly style your home and add this unique touch that will help you feel cozy in your own apartment. In my previous post, l briefly told you which elements make your place both stylish, and one you feel happy to live in. Thus, this time I would like to emphasis on one of my favorite yet super easy styling tips, which is to personalize your space with beautiful frames that not only bring a great sense of style to your home but also mean something to you. I believe that to feel at ease in your home is a bit like picking your outfit, you should personalize it with small elements, which reflect the beautiful person YOU are. That is exactly what I did when styling my apartment. I am personally quite obsessed with palm trees, pineapples, plus great quotes and enjoy adding a little crazy girly rebel touch. As a big fan of black & white photography, I initially decided to opt for almost only black & white frames that I got at Desenio, but I am recently more into mixing both black & white photographs with some colorful and more personal captures. Now, I do not know about you, but I feel like some posters have been seen way too many times and I really get tired of seeing them in every homes. Especially the typical quotes or fashion logo posters (e.g. my, ironically, “super” COCO frame). Thus, in order to personalize my space and ensure my frames are truly unique ones, I am currently selecting some of the pretty shots I captured when travelling around the globe and will most likely print them online at Colorfotoservice. Their website is user friendly and I like this Swiss made brand because it is a great option to get beautiful high quality printed photographs. Additionally, Colorfotoservice offers a wide variety of ways to print our favorite pictures (so definitely also check it out if you want to create personalized gifts for your loved ones), making each of our captures truly unique and that is perfect as uniqueness is exactly what I am aiming to achieve for my new posters. As I am getting tired of my current black & white posters, I am thinking about printing the below photographs by using Colorfotoservice’s “Premium” option either in mat because it could nicely reduce some reflections effects on some of my photographs or pick the shiny paper option to make the color pop more and to accentuate the details on my captures. I believe opting for both mat and shiny could work well depending on the picture. I do like the fact that there are 5 different types of papers we can choose from because that is a cool alternative as it allows to mix different paper patterns, bringing a more stylish effect to our lovely framed memories. Now I want to hear from you! Do you also like to frame photographs to style your place and does it help you feel cozier at home? Thank you so much for reading and I see you guys again next week for a new home styling post, where I will finally share my wait for it… living room interior design with you! Yes, this is finally going to happen, so stay tuned and have a lovely week! Muaks, Muaks, Cindy #homestyling

“THAT feeling when your skin feels like it just rebirth.” Hey guys! Today I am happy to share with you one of my beauty secret essentials to a healthy skin. Many of you have asked me about my beauty routine on Instagram, so there you go, I give you a little glimpse to achieve a perfect skin glow! My favorite cream is a fresh gem called the Moisture Surge by Clinique. I have been now using it on my face and neck twice a day for the past 2 years and I really really like it. Having a dry skin and some upsetting eczema, literally since I was born, I have tried out more hydrating creams in my life than any other beauty products (except maybe of lipsticks hihi). Luckily, through the years I finally found a few moisture creams that really do “goooood” to my skin and which I can now no longer live without. How dramatic did that sound? Hehe So today, I am finally telling you all about my love story with the Moisture Surge by Clinique. This love started when I discovered a sample of the Moisture Surge in a beauty magazine a few years ago. As you know me, I have this strong need to try out as many beauty products as I can, to find THE absolute best therapy for my skin. Once I find it, I share it with you here on the blog plus on my Instagram and then eventually you also end up falling in love with it as I did. I could write a billion words on the reasons why the Moisture Surge by Clinique became one of the few creams I apply to my skin every morning and every night before sleeping with the angels. But yeah, I know YOUR time is precious, so here are some of the main reasons why I love it so much and why you should give it a try if you haven’t had a chance to do so yet. 1) Soft & Fresh Feel You will literally feel like you are putting a moisture gel that feels like some little fresh water drops on your face. Every single time I apply it, it is a pure moment of happiness. 2) Rebirth is Calling I know you will laugh but every time I apply the Moisture Surge by Clinique, I have this sensation of watering my soul as if I was born again. It is such a nice and refreshing feeling thanks to a supercharged water-gel, which intensely hydrates and boosts my skin for the 24 hours. Laughing at me? Just try it and your skin will thank me! 3) No Smell Another reason why I love Clinique skin care products so much is because they do not smell. Thus, I never get any allergy to it despite my skin is sensitive. If you also have or are experimenting some skin allergies, you know how hard it is to find your perfect moisture match. So, now it is the opportunity for you to give a try to the Moisture Surge and let the magic happen. By the way, you guys should use my PROMO CODE: Cococlinique to get a 10% discount and a mystery gift on www.ch.clinique.com, hurry up because it expires on July 30. 4) No Shining Skin, No Aging Once the moisture gently enters my skin, I feel super hydrated and my skin is neither shining nor oily. In fact, the Moisture Surge by Clinique is made of a liquid, which does not have any oil in it. This latter helps breaking the cycle of dryness and prevents my skin to age prematurely, which is good because I already freak out enough to get closer to my Thirties! 5) Globetrotter buddy Finally yet importantly, I take my Moisture Surge everywhere I go! You can easily bring it with you on your adventures around the globe as I believe each packaging are only 50ML or 100ML max. It will of course also happily fit inside your handbags. When flying, I highly recommend you to have it with you as it will feel wonderful to apply it to fight against the cold plane Air Conditioning, which dries your skin and leaves you all: “Meeeeh”. That’s it for today my Lovelies, let me know if you wish to read more posts like this one. Hope you enjoyed discovering one of my new secret skin tips. I bet your skin will love the Moisture Surge by Clinique as much as mine does!

Hey guys! Hope you are well and that you are enjoying this exciting beginning of the summer as much as I do. As some of you saw on my Instagram (@Cocorebelista), I just spent the last few days in Ibiza and really did not want to leave this gorgeous “Isla Blanca” full of charming white houses, giant cactus and turquoise waters. It literally took me 27 years to FINALLY visit the island… (Stating my age clearly does not make me feel any younger). The reason why I waited THAT long is mainly because like many of you, I had some prejudice about Ibiza as it is famous for being an expensive party animal island… yes you know, full of Barbies with fake boobs, drunk tattooed dudes with fake tanned muscles and super loud electronic music. Now, although I did see excessively many perfect boobies and crazy peeps, I must say that what people say about the magic of this Island is quiet true. Having lived and worked in Mallorca and Tarifa, I was sure that the beaches there where the most dreamy ones in Spain. Guess what, I was wrong. Ibiza has some of the most beautiful beaches I have ever seen in Europe. I think I really would have never left the island if we had spent a day in sublime Formentera! This latter island is even of another level but sadly, we did not have enough time to go there. I hope that we will soon! Anyways, as many of you have asked me for tips on where to stay and the beaches ‘names with the turquoise shades water you saw on some Instagram pictures and stories, I thought I would share my short stay experience with you. So grab your bikini and follow me! Where to stay in Ibiza? Ibiza is full of beautiful yet expensive hotels. There is plenty of choice here but we personally were neither looking for something too pricey nor for a big hotel chain such as Ushuaia. We were rather seeking to experiment the boohoo and chill vibes, all this, while watching gorgeous sunset offered by our beautiful Mother Nature for free. I personally really wanted to stay at an Airbnb white villa with many big cactus and a nice light blue swimming pool but we booked our gateway in Ibiza so late that all nice and affordable villas where already booked. So first advice to you my Lovelies, BOOK in advance. After a bit more research online, we ended up on booking.com (my favorite website to book hotels) and we found one of the best deal at a super cute and lovely hotel called “Hostal La Torre” in Cap Negret. Although the reviews were all excellent, I was a bit worried because this hotel is only ranked with 1 star. We rented a car at the airport for something like only 20€ per day (including full insurance and gasolina) and then drove to Hostal La Torre. As soon as we got there, I fell in love with the relaxing vibes of this small boutique hotel and its breathtaking view. I mean, last time I had a yummy breakfast with such a view was 4 years ago in Greece. Everything at this hotel was lovely. The staff was super nice, the rooms are clean and the view was to cry for! The only “down” side is that you must have a car and there is no swimming pool. That is the only reason why this place must only be rated 1 star, because in my opinion it is worth a 4 star. Then on Sundays, they organize a yoga class at 9am and it was definitely a wonderful yoga class with a lovely Greek teacher. I really found it hard to close my eyes not to look at this stunning sea view. After the yoga class, we had a relaxing massage, followed by a yummy breakfast with freshly baked warm croissants, poached eggs with salmon and avocado… a true dream. I definitely recommend Hostal La Torre to you guys, because not only it is as amazing as stated above but also, the terrace of their restaurant has the most astonishing views on Ibiza sunsets. Where to jump in crystal turquoise waters? During your next trip to Ibiza, you must go to Cala Tarida and Cala Comte. Then to be even more amazed, book at least one day trip to Formentera and go swim with mermaids in one of the prettiest waters in the world. What should you not miss in Ibiza? The beaches, the sunsets… all of the above and you should also go to the Las Dalias Hippi Market that takes place every Saturdays. Once you are there, get yourself a fresh fruit smoothie (Watermelon with Strawberry is my fav’!) and get yourself some cute white boohoo dress, colorful pompoms sandals or dream catchers as souvenirs. When is the best time to visit Ibiza? I would say definitely May or September because it is not too busy and the weather is nice and warm. Try to avoid it in summer (June to August) because the beaches will be overcrowded and you will not feel the nice Ibiza relaxing vibes if that is what you are looking for. More exclusive photos here below! 🙂 Tic, tac, tic, tac, it’s your time to jump in the plane now, so grab your white bikinis and enjoy every minute!

Hello my Lovelies ! I just got back from a short trip to Paris where I got to see one of my best friend from my university and got invited to attend Roland Garros on June 3rd 2017, for a day with… VIP access! I still have little stars in my eyes because I used to play a lot of tennis when I was a kid. Thus, getting the opportunity to attend Roland Garros has always been one of my childhood’s dream and it came true thanks to the Roland Garros Sponsor team! “And just like this, one of my greatest childhood’s dream came true…” Joining Roland Garros as a VIP Guest for a day After 27 years, I finally sat and watched a game at the Court Philippe Chatrier and what a game I started with! Okey… I must tell you, I totally jumped of happiness everywhere and I clearly looked like I was not used to be something rich and cool peeps call a “VIP”… but I could not care less, I was finally there, so could not hide how I felt! As I was a bit late, I did not have time to check who was going to play that day so I was not expecting too much knowing that my fav’ player Roger Federer was not playing this year and that Nadal had played the day before. Now, I must admit that I am not used to access events as a VIP guest so this experience was definitely one to remember. From an events management perspective, I was impressed with the whole organization and as an Events Professional myself, I was so so happy to take part of such an important and beautiful event, even more knowing that I was there to enjoy and not to work for once! Getting & Staying there After spending the night at my friend’s place near the Trocadero, I grabbed a taxi to quickly check-in and leave my luggage at the Holiday Inn Paris-Auteuil hotel were we stayed at for one night. Once I left my luggage at the reception, I jumped back in the taxi, direction Roland Garros. Once I got there, I did not have to do ANY queue, the way to get to the Gate D was clear and super-fast. The staff was adorable and you could only feel secure knowing how many times they checked our bags and asked for our private invitation. I guess in the past I would have found this annoying but knowing the world we now live in, I did not mind at all and thought the organizers definitely did an excellent job. Once I got to the entrance, I got a warm welcome by the sponsor team who invited me and I then received my Roland Garros Village access card. This precious piece of paper was my one-day-key to access all the games I wanted during that day. 5 meters away from the world’s best Tennis Players We first had the chance to see the world number one tennis player, Andy Murray, playing against Del Potro and after a delicious lunch with the agency who invited me, we went to see my Swiss compatriot, Stanislas Wawrinka, currently ranked 3rd best world tennis player. Those of you, who know me, know that I am not a very nationalist person but during that game, I was closed to grab my red MAC lipstick from my bag to draw the Swiss flag on my cheek! Haha Not only was it amazing to be there but it was even more awesome to be sitting THAT close to the players. I will never thank the Roland Garros Sponsor team enough for having me, because this experience was truly magical and one to remember. What is your childhood biggest dream and did you realize it already? Thank you for reading and see you again soon on the blog for new exciting adventures!

Hello my Lovelies! The sun and the heat are finally pointing their nose in Switzerland and I truly could not be happier. Thus, since summer sounds to be just around the corner, I wanted to share with you my Pre-Summer 2017 Essentials. “7 Summer Essentials you should own in 2017” 1) A Personalized Floppy Sun Hat I first saw this hat on dreamy Islands pictures shared on Instagram and I just found this floppy sun hat SO cool. As I do quickly get obsessed when I like something I see, I always instantly google it. Thus, I found that the brand which designs these hats is called The White Elephant Designs but sad news, they do not seem to ship their products to Europe. #supersadface But luckily, I have a bunch of friends in the US, so will most likely have them shipping it over to me. To those of you who have been now reading my blog for a while and/or following me on Instagram (@Cocorebelista), you know that I really love stylish and cool customized pieces for my wardrobe collection. Thus, this cute Floppy Sun Hat is definitely part of my Pre-Summer 2017 Essentials and while I won’t be wearing it, I will use it as a decoration on my frames wall! 2) A Floral Printed Summer Dress Although I am a blue jeans, white shirt and leather jacket kind of girl, I really can’t resist to a nice floral dress especially during summer days. I have been looking for an orange floral printed dress for a while now, so I was so happy when I saw this cute dress from Esprit at El Corte Ingles in Barcelona last week.  I just fell in love with the color and the beautiful details at the back. I think the main reason why I am so obsessed with this dress is because I can already picture the outfits I will create with it! I mean how nice is it going to look with an oversized denim jacket and cute open ankle boots? I already got two similar floral dresses but in dark blue and yellow, so I am definitely adding this cute orange one to my bloomy wardrobe! 3) A Salty Hair Spray Last summer I wrote a post on how to create your own beach wavy hair spray. Now, even though it is cheaper to do it ourselves, I heard SO many great things about Bumble and Bumble Surf Infusion from Sephora that I really want to give it a try. Who knows, maybe one of my next post will be a review of it… and hopefully a positive one! Haha 4) An Embellished Oversized Denim Festival Jacket If you know me well, you know that I LOVE leather jackets so much I collect them. However, lately I am feeling guilty since I have started to grow my Denim jacket collections too! I already have an embroider one, a ripped one and an oversized one with a cool sentence written at the back… but, to perfectly complete my little denim jacket family, I got a big crush on this Embellished Oversized Denim Festival Jacket from Boohoo. I think it will look so so nice if I style it together with the orange floral dress and black open ankle boots from Esprit together with the Gucci Belt! Now I just wished Coachella could take place again in June! Hehe 5) A Pair of Open Ankle Boots Rules are made to be broken, otherwise it would not be fun. Thus, it is not because the days are getting warmer that we should only wear sandals and flip flops. Now I know, it is not really sexy to walk around barefoot with super white feet but I am not telling you to tan with boots… I don’t know about you girls but I am just obsessed with open ankle boots. I think it looks so nice when wearing them with a cute dress and cutting the look with a leather or denim jacket. I personally really like these beauties from Esprit because they look a bit edgy but are still very feminine, so they are definitely a MUST of my Pre-Summer 2017 Essentials! 6) A Handmade Beach Bag What would summer be without a nice handmade beach bag? I always wanted to have one but only got my first a few weeks ago. Why? Because I live in Switzerland and it’s not like we have a nice sandy beach with an infinite ocean here. We just have lakes and too much rain. But hey, since I travel back to Barcelona at least twice a month, I definitely felt like it was time to own a stylish handmade beach bag. The one I got is from My Maracuja but I cannot seem to find a pics of it online so I am sharing with you this cute pineapple beach bag from Lily and Rose Swimwear which I hope will be mine soon as well! 7) A GG Belt For way too many years, I used to feel like wearing a belt did not make much sense until I realized how it actually does style outfits in a really cool way. I am already the lucky owner of the small GG Gucci belt but ever since I got it, I feel like getting the bigger size too. So it naturally also is one of my Pre-Summer 2017 Essentials. That’s it for today. Thanks for reading and I hope you girls enjoyed this Pre-Summer 2017 Essentials post! #fashion #summerparty #summer #wishlist #BeachWaves #beachgirl #beachwear

“Moving on a budget? Ikea Bedroom Styling is your way to go!” Hey Guys! Today, I am super excited to share with you some shots I took of my brand new bedroom! I have always been obsessed with Interior Design and making things pretty by creating and adding some stylish personal touches. BUT damn it can get pricey… Now, the day of getting my new appartement has come and I hope you will get inspired. So, go get yourself a cup of coffee, tea or anything you love to drink, have a sit and discover my tips and the places to shop from to achieve a perfect “Pinterest” kinda Ikea Bedroom Styling. Minimalist & Scandinavian Vibes Not sure which color to pick for your bedroom furniture? You can never go wrong with white to achieve a perfect Ikea Bedroom Styling. Why? Because white is amazing to catch the natural light by brighten up any room, and light is life! Having said that, if you feel like it’s too white, you can still play with the bed-sheets, decoration and curtains to add a pop of color. What I love the most about having such a bright bedroom is that I can easily style it and change the mood of my bedroom by simply changing some minor decoration aspects. Currently I am very much into Monochrome black and white and pastel colors with a touch of gold. So stop wondering what to opt for, go for white, you will never get tired of it and this way, you will get one step closer to a pretty Ikea Bedroom Styling. Round Mirror “Stockholm” by IKEA / White Cupboard “Kullen” by IKEA /  Bed “Nesttun” by IKEA / White Wall Shell by IKEA / Ceiling Lamp “Gold Wire Square” and Nightstand gold&black by Maison du Monde. Pax Open Closet After spending days, weeks, months saving Pins on Pinterest about interior design, I quickly realized that my level of obsession for open closets was starting to be really serious and also a bit worrying! Haha So, I naturally decided to opt for the IKEA Pax open closet in white color. What I really love about the Pax from IKEA is that it definitely does bring a stylish vibe to my bedroom. Also, the Pax system is simply a dream as you can create and personalize your closet according to your needs and wishes. The only down side of having an open closet is that now I really have to discipline myself to keep it all super tidy all the time. Trust me guys, being born a super crazy messy chica, the challenge for me was pretty big but hey, the result is worth all the fight with the old messy me, isn’t it? Wall shelf & Frames Here once again, I got really inspired by my beloved Scandinavian kind of interior design and decided to fix (ok, I asked my Dad to fix it) a wall shelf that I also got at IKEA. I really wanted to have some frames in my new bedroom and as having frames on the wall is quite a common thing, I wanted to go for a wall shelf and must tell you that I absolutely LOOOVE it! Really recommended for you to achieve a dreamy Ikea Bedroom Styling. By the way, I got these super cool posters on Desenio, which is a super cool Poster/Photography website from Sweden. Don’t hesitate to order yours from Desenio as both their posters quality and customer service is BOMB. Prints & Faux Fur One of my other trick to give some stylish touch was to add a black and white carpet with light grey bed-sheets, which I both got from Westwing and the Faux-fur and white under-cover which are from IKEA. By the way guys, please don’t look at my feet… I wore new shoes the other day and it was super painful… So yeah my feet are not looking there best. Haha Show your little inner Kid spirit Say Hi to my two little friends who I never sleep a night without. The pillow cover is from H&M Home and bed-sheets are from Westwing. EXCLUSIVE: DISCOVER MY IKEA APARTMENT STYLING That’s it for today, I hope you enjoyed my Ikea Bedroom Styling post. Now, what are your tips to achieve a perfect Pinterest Bedroom? Have a lovely day and see you guys next week on the blog for a new Home Styling post! Muaks, Muaks Cindy [instagram-feed id=”187971702″] #homestyling #ikea #pinterest #styling

“Whiten your Teeth with Natural Organic Coconut Oil and Get a Brighter Smile within Days” Hello my Lovelies, welcome back on the blog! It’s been a little while since I haven’t shared a Beauty Review with you… So here I am today to share my latest beauty experiment. This time, I tried out an Oil Pulling for Whiter Teeth by the famous German brand, Coco Bright. This is the second review I am doing on teeth whitening products. My first review was on Alpine White and although it tasted a bit weird the first time I tried it, I must admit that I really loved it and am still using it now from time to time. Therefore, as I love to compare beauty products in order to find which ones are the best, I was pretty excited to try Coco Bright Oil Pulling for Whiter Teeth. So first of all, Coco Bright Oil Pulling for Whiter Teeth comes in three different flavors: Peppermint, Vanilla and Lemon. You can either buy the 1-month box which is the one I got (This latter one contains 14 little packages; 5 x Peppermint Flavor, 5 x Lemon Flavor and 4 x Vanilla Flavor) or get sachets (packages) with only one specific flavor. 1) Warm the sachet in your hand, open it and squeeze the liquid into your mouth. 2) Swirl for 5 to 15 minutes (be patient, the magic is happening) 3) That’s it! Spit the liquid out and SMILE! I love Coconut in every shapes and style and especially when it is Organic. Now, in terms of texture, it is a little bit weird at first but then it quickly gets better. However, I personally cannot keep the liquid much longer than 5-7 minutes because I don’t find it really comfortable to swirl for too long. This definitely is my personal feel and does not mean that for you it will be the same. We are all different, aren’t we? Regarding the taste, I personally have a preference for the Lemon one, but here again, this is a very personal thing. As I neither smoke nor drink coffee, my teeth are pretty white already but I must admit that my teeth got whiter after using Coco Bright for 1 week. The result is not immediate but if you are patient, you will be pleased with your whiter teeth! If like me, you enjoy trying new products and are seeking to get a brighter smile within days thanks to the magic power of Organic Coconut Oil, you can get your Coco Bright Oil Pulling for Whiter Teeth Set right here: Coco Bright Oil Pulling for Whiter Teeth and Get 20% OFF on your purchase at the checkout by adding my Discount Code: BELLE Curious to compare Coco Bright with Alpine White? Check out my other review here. Hope you enjoyed this review! If so, feel free to click on the heart button below, it would mean a lot to me! ?

Hello my Lovelies! Hope your first week of the Advent Calendar was a great and happy one. It’s no surprise that Christmas is only 20 little days away from now! How exciting right? But also, how stressful… I don’t know about you girls but every single year I am going through the exact same struggle; finding THE Perfect Christmas Gifts for HIM. In other words, for the three main Men in my life; My Daddy, my Bro and last but not least my Cat! Joking! My lovely Boyfriend of course, although most of the time I actually do treat him like a cat… So this year 2016, let me take this “Men Gifts’ Struggle” away from you by presenting you “The Perfect Christmas Gifts for HIM”. Hooray! Yes  for HIM… not for HER, cause it is way too easy to buy perfect gifts that will make a girl jump of happiness! What? You think I am exaggerating? Well, here’s an example for later and another one right here (for later too!) just for you dear Men, if you really have no clue what to get her for Christmas, her Birthday or any other Occasions. Enough talk about girls gifts, now let’s get into the struggle and let me present you: The Perfect Christmas Gifts for HIM What would a stylish Man be without a nice watch on his left wrist? Now, I know it sometimes hard to know which brand or which style would make your man really happy and feel proud to wear it every day. There are so many brands that offer watches out there to choose from, so the best strategy is to look at what kind of watches he already has, for you to get a better understanding. Then of course if he only has Cartier, IWC or Panerai, you might want to consider getting him a watch that would not put you in deep credit debts! So if you are looking for a brand that is quite luxurious but which also offers more affordable watches, have a look at Seiko Men Watches. I personally feel like you could not go wrong by picking one of their beauties as your Man’s Christmas gift. 2) The Shirt Now, you might think that getting him a shirt sounds easy but have you thought that he might already have the one you are about to get him? Chances or better said risks are pretty big. So, to ensure our main Men don’t get any unpleasant duplicated gifts that they will have to exchange right after Christmas,  have a look at his closet first before buying anything. Then if you feel like he already has everything, don’t panic because a man never has too many stylish shirts. Yep, although they pretend they are nothing like us, often they actually are a lot more than we may think! Thus, if you feel like getting him an elegant and classy shirt for Christmas, I would recommend you to have a look at the Esprit Men Collection. They have stylish and trendy clothes including the shirt I selected in this list, which by the way I will most probably get for my BF, because he loves this style so much and so do I (little hearts in my eyes… ha ha). 3) The Shoes Men and shoes are a big deal. They want them to be comfortable but also stylish. I don’t know about you girls, but I realized through the years that the Men in my life can take AGES until they finally buy a pair of shoes, which they should have bought a long time ago. Because come on, their snickers and slippers are nice as long as they are not full of holes! Now, if you wish to make your Dad, Brother or BF happy with a pair of shoes, check out the type of shoes he usually likes and then get his size. Once you have that, if he is a fashionista whose style is super stylish, trendy and comfy, these blue velvet slippers from BachelorShoes will enchant him the minute he will discover them. 4) The Travel Bag A travel bag is always a kind and cool gift idea for every men out there. Especially if yours likes to go on adventures and loves to wander around the globe. Not only should this travel bag be well thought and resistant but also if it looks stylish like the one I selected here from RusticTown, your man will appreciate it even more and might also use it for work or as his gym bag, while he is not traveling somewhere beautiful. 5) The Card Holder Men don’t usually wear bags as much as we do, and when they do it is usually a pretty big one they use for travel, sport and business, sometimes all at once. Thus, when going out, there “best bro” are their jacket and jeans pockets. The thing is, a wallet is nice but definitely not the most practical thing for men to carry with them. Thus, many men have decided to leave their wallets behind and opt for card holders instead. Now, chances are that his card holder isn’t necessarily super nice. Well girls, that is when you come into action and blow his mind by offering him the Kios simple card holder from Louboutin, which to me is definitely the most stylish card holder I have seen and offered so far. 6) The Sunnies Like the card holder, fancy sunnies are a MUST in a man’s closet. Not only the Clubmaster Fleck from Ray-Ban will protect your man’s pretty eyes from the UV but it will also bring the stylish final touch to his look. Way too many men don’t really care how their sunglasses look like as long as it does the job. Having said that, it is only until they realize that by getting the right sunnies, they will make many heads turn in a very good way. 7) The Fragrance This gift idea is probably the trickiest one from this Perfect Christmas Gifts for HIM list. We all have very different tastes in terms of Fragrances. One of your friend might love and feel attracted by a specific smell, while you might feel like it totally turns you off. There is nothing more normal and human than that. Although I did not find the secret yet to be 150% sure on which fragrance we should pick for a man, I like to go try some fragrances in perfume shops and then, close my eyes, imagining if I would feel attracted to it or feel disgust. Usually I get the result in less than 3 seconds! I really like Bleu de Chanel but again, tastes and smells can all be very different from one person to the other. Your way to go if you want to get him a perfume for Christmas is to go try out a few fragrances yourself first and see how you react to it. Then if you love it, chances are high for him to love it too and that is why a fragrance can be one of the Perfect Christmas Gifts for him. 8) The Leather Gloves This one is an absolute MUST have in every men’s closet for this cold Winter 2017. I am sure you will agree with me when I tell you that it is not a nice feeling to head out in the cold. Even less when we are not wearing gloves that are comfortable, keep us warm and are aesthetically nice. So this Christmas, is a great occasion to show our man that he can both look very classy and feel warm when wearing leather gloves. My pick for the leather gloves are from Esprit, as I found these fleece lining black leather beauties while I was looking for the shirt I am thinking on offering to my BF this year. There you go my Lovelies, I hope this Perfect Christmas Gifts for HIM list will inspire you and that I hopefully helped you by taking your “Men Gifts’ Struggle” away from you! Now, it’s your turn babes! What to YOU are the Perfect Christmas Gifts for HIM? Thanks so much for reading, I am already super excited to welcoming you back on the blog next week for a fun new post! Happy Christmas Gifts Shopping! Muaks, Muaks Cindy #christmasdiscounts #giftsforhim #perfectgifts

Hey beautiful souls! It’s been a little while since I haven’t been posting about traveling. Truth is that although my life for the past 6 years was all about constant traveling moments and moving abroad to new countries, I recently took the difficult decision to reduce my journeys abroad in order to stay close to my family back in Switzerland and Spain. I would lie to you if I would tell you that I don’t miss the exciting nomad life I used to have but I will turn 27 years old in a few months and it’s time for me to kinda start to be *stable* (at least for a few years, till I jump in a plane again to realize one of my biggest dream; traveling the world for 6 months or a year!) So my travels now resume themselves to either visiting my family in Switzerland or Barcelona in Spain. As I’ve already shared a lot with you about my favorite places and restaurants in Barcelona, I will try to make you discover more about Switzerland and start to be a Tourist in my own country! So today, I would like to take you to Geneva, which is one of the two Swiss cities you keep on hearing about in the American movies when peeps talk about banks and dirty money! Jokes apart, as I know most of you not only come from Switzerland but also majorly from the USA, Spain, Australia, UK and Singapore (Sooo happy and honored to have you all here so regularly from that many countries around the globe!), I hope you will enjoy my futures posts about Swiss cities and places worth visiting at least once in your life! 🙂 And if you come by, please come say hi and feel free to ask for tips!

Hello my lovelies! Christmas is only a little month away now and isn’t it one of the greatest and most magical moment of the year? Not only are we blessed to spend quality time with the people who matter the most to us but also it is the moment we hope to find THE perfect present that will make them really happy. Now, it is also a marvelous time of the year for us, when our relatives start asking us what are the potential gifts that would set a big smile on our face while opening the presents under the Christmas tree. I don’t know about you but when I was a kid, it felt like writing my wish list to dear Santa, was really easy. However, the more we grow up, the more we have things, and the less we know what we would want. Or better said, we know what we want but it’s often way too expensive and we thus, ask for a bit of money there and there to then be able to buy this one expensive piece we have been dreaming for months if not years. So as it always feels much more magical to open a present rather than a white envelope with money inside, I have carefully selected the pieces that would make me (and maybe you too) jump of happiness when discovering these beauties under our family Christmas tree. My Ultimate Christmas 2016 Wish List 1) The Clutch As you might have noticed already, I like to mix trendy prints and textures when it comes to my outfits. So I totally fell in love with this beautiful Clutch from Bon Prix. I really like their clothes and accessories in general but this beauty stole my heart, so I really hope I will happily find it under my Christmas tree! 2) The Faux-Fur Jacket Although I already have tones of winter jackets, including at least 3 faux-fur jackets, this one from Zara is just so so pretty that I really wish I can have it joining my collection! 3) The Red Lipstick I can already hear my boyfriend laugh and scream: “Cindy, you are really crazy!” So yes, I agree I already have a huge collection of lipsticks but I don’t have the Ruby Woo from Mac yet, and yes I know I have a lot of red lipsticks, but each single one always has a different tone (even if to guys red is red). So darling, don’t question too much and if you are still unsure what smaller gift you want to get me for Xmas, then now you know. Hi hi hi… 4) The Lingerie In terms of lingerie, I like it when it’s black, pretty and comfy. So I would love to find some delicate pieces from Intimissimi under the Christmas tree. 5) The Dress Now, if I happen to find this sparkling green beauty from Ivyrevel under our Christmas tree, I will run with it to my bedroom and put it on so that I can already make good use of it on Christmas Eve! 6) The Earrings Set When I discovered my dream Clutch on Bon Prix online shop, I was going through their fashion categories and saw this cute earrings set. I have been looking for moons and these kind of long and thin earrings for a while now, so am definitely adding it to my wish list and hope to discover it under the tree. And if they are not among the gifts, I will just get them myself as my own little present! 7) The Velvet Shoes I can’t do my wish list without adding a stunning velvet piece to it! Since I have seen these grey velvet babies on Quanticlo, I have been dreaming to have my little feet in them! Just hope that if I am lucky enough to get them, they will be as comfy as my other shoes I already have from this brand. 8) The Watch Because having my feet in a pair of velvet high-heels might not be enough “velvet vibes”, I would jump of happiness if I would happen to discover this dark blue velvet watch from Cluse, when opening my presents. Too bad I can’t seem to find it in gold with this dark blue velvet strap… Maybe I should only put the Dark Blue Velvet Straps part on my wish list and not the watch itself, since I already have two and can change the straps on them. 9) The Bracelet I have this thing for this kind of “rebellious” gold bracelet style since I received a very special one 3 years ago. This one from Ivyrevel is really pretty and would definitely look nice on my right wrist, next to a watch. 10) The Camera Although 2016 was a tough year for me, the best thing that has happened is that I started my blog in July. I really enjoy creating useful and fun content as well as taking beautiful pictures and sharing them with you here on the blog and on my Instagram. By the way don’t forget to follow me there too. So now, although my iPhone 6s is absolutely wonderful and takes stunning and high quality photographs, I would like to take my blogging photography to the next level. Thus, I have been comparing cameras for the past 5 months and am finally getting closer to find THE one which I hope will keep on making you coming back to find high-quality content on my blog. Obviously, the two I am still deciding on are both over my budget but I’ll just spare the money to get one of them. Cause I really want to ensure the quality of my captures will be PERFECT! So I am hesitating between the Nikon D610 and the Lumix GX8. Any advice are more than welcome! 🙂 Now I want to know what is on YOUR Christmas 2016 Wish List?
