November favorites!

Hi! Here I am with my favorites of november.

First, basically everything in the shades burgundi:

This Kiko Milano liquid lipstick, perfect to be classy

That nail polish:

Those high vans

Then come my food favorites:

Green Tea
I'm probably going to make an article specially about green tea, but I find this is a good drink to stay hydrated all day.

Ikea oat cookies. No need of a description.

I didn't look much TV this month, I didn't have a lot of time for it, but there is one tv-show that made me laugh a lot when I needed it: Grace and Frankie. It's on Netflix, if you're wondering. It's athe story of two girls that basically hate each other, but it turns out their husbands are cheating on them for 20 years. And now they are gonna marry each other and they just have to live together. Both of them are really different but it turns out it leads to funny and awkward situation. A must-to-look-at for this month.

I didn't use much makeup either but my mom offered me this cute set of eyeshadow: you can make a lot  of different makeups with it, the shade are stunning and you can easily put it in your bag.

Mirror Mirror review | Cara Delevingne

Hi!

Here is my review about Cara Delevingne new book!

This book tells the story of 4 teenagers who weren't very popular and had not very much self confidence until they decided to form a music band: that was the revelation for them.

• Rose is the cliché of the popular girl: she seems very good at everything, but in reality she got a lot of problems. She is the singer.
• Leo live in an estate in London. His big brother is in jail and used to get him in a lot of trouble. He found self-confindence and the power to be himself, and not his brother with the band. He is the bass player.
• Naomi used to be a weird girl who dress like manga characters. Now she is fine with herself.
• Red is in a lot of trouble: her mother got alcohol problems and her father is never  home. She has to take care of her 7 years old sister.

They were great together, finally dealing with there problems, until Naomi disappears. They find her two weeks later, not in a very good place, in the Thames. What happened to her?

***

I'm a little disputed about this book, I don't really know if I liked it, but the point is, I couldn't stop reading it. I really wanted to know what was gonna happend to all the characters, if Naomi was gonna be alive. I give a 5/5 for the suspense.

It also deals with hard but important topics, like rape, alcohol problems or paedophilia. I think that's a good point cause one the author, Cara Delevingne is an inspiration for a lot of young people: they are gonna read the book because of her, so it's like a good warning for them.

Another good point in this book is that it is turn toward friendship: it's in the center of the story. It shows how people can get better if they have not many, but good friends.

It really felt like a story of teenage. For the writing style, I found it quite easy: you don't have to read five times a sentence to understand the meaning of it like in some books I've read. 

Finally, I think this book fits with the writer's state of mind: it's marked by tolerance and the fact to accept people how they are.

Barcelona review | 5 places I liked

Hi!
Last week I had the chance to go to Barcelona for 4 days with some friends and we had a lot of fun. I liked this city a lot, especially the athmosphere in it: there are so much people from all nationalities, from all ages, it wasn't very tidy, but more like a happy mix of all types of people.

Of course we visited the touristic stuffs, like the Sagrada Familia and the Parc Güell. But we also went through the city, in back alley and I must admit, those little streets were cute.

So here are the five places I liked the most!

First, I retain two shops, both located in th Gothic Area, a really sweat place

1. A thrift shop named "Love Vintage"

http://en.lovevintage.es/

The place is very tidy, and the girl there very nice. I liked the athmosphere.

2. "Holly's ice cream"

https://www.instagram.com/hollysicecream/

You can eat ice cream and cookies sandwiches there. It tasted so good.

Then come the others places

3.The Hospital San Pau

https://santpaubarcelona.org/en/visits

I was favourably surprised by this place: all the colors, the houses, the materials: the set was really beautiful and made to match together.
I didn't really took pictures there, but you can see the place in my vlog, check the link at the bottom of the article.

4. Park Güell
https://www.parkguell.cat/en/
The place was designed by Gaudi and you got a view on the whole city from there. If you go to Barcelona and can only visit on place, itt should be this one.

5. Museo Dali
https://www.salvador-dali.org/en/
It's not really located in Barcelona, but it's near the city. If you got time, go take a look, it is worth it.

I hope you have enjoyed this article, if you want to check my vlog, here is the link:

FentyxPuma spring-summer 2018 collection

Hi!
I'm pretty sure you've heard about Rihanna's collaboration with Puma: Fenty x Puma. She presented the spring-summer 2018 collection at the New York Fashion Week and the collection was just amazing.

But first, let's talk about the show! It took place in a big dark room, with a pink sand mountain in the middle, where stuntmans on motocrosses were doing acrobatics. The models were walking around the montains.
Let's be honest, I loved it. I mean it could be debated, but she took the risk of doing it like this and it looked amazing.

Now we come on the main topic: the clothes. She choose to make a mix between motorbike clothes and beach clothes. That was audacious, it didn't match everytime, but for the assembly, it looked cool and the clothes would be amazing separate to style.

My top 3 favorite looks:

 


For the final, Rihanna came on a a motorbike. For me, this was the most amazing show of the fashion week.
