10 reasons why you should watch The Hills

Hi girls! I have been binge watching The Hills all over again. Every year I re-watch all the seasons. This show makes me feel happy, gives me hope and makes me laugh. I'm obsessed. I'll never get tired of watching it. So why should you also watch it?

1. Because it makes you forget all about the fact that tomorrow is monday, 

your problems at work, the fact that you're not sure where you're going in life,  

and all that kind of stuff.

2. Because Lauren Conrad is a queen. A role model. 

An intelligent, beautiful, funny, inspiring savvy business mogul.

3. Because you realize that yes, friends are going to screw you over. 

Yes boys are stupid and make girls cry but in the end you'll get over.

4. Because when watching it, all you can think about is leaving your country 

and go live the american dream in an amazing apartment downtown LA with a fun roommate, working at a top fashion magazine and having to travelling to NY for  helping on fashion shows.

5. Because it reminds you that your career must be your first priority. Always. 

Lauren will always be know as the girl who never went to Paris. Remember that! 

6. Because even though the show is a few years old, 

Lauren Conrad still gives you some serious hair envy.

7. Because of queen LC's iconic pieces of advice throughout all seasons. 

8. Because Whitney is the colleague everyone dreams of having. 

Giving you life moto and listening to you for hours.

9. Because LC proves throughout the seasons that good friends do exist
and if you work hard, make smart decisions for yourself and be nice to people you can get what you want in life. 

10. Because after watching it you'll become obsessed with Lauren Conrad and everything she has achieved since then. Not to mention her fairy tale ending wedding, fashion line, books successes and many more.

Wishlist ⎢Getting ready for the cold

1. Plaid coat (here) // 2. Black skirt (here) // 3. White turtle neck sweater (here) 

4. Beige woolen coat (here) // 5. Grey turtle neck sweater (here)

It's in the air, you can feel that cold wind blowing at your face in the morning going to work therefore it's time to refresh my wardrobe and get myself some new coats, new turtle neck and new winter skirt. With no surprises my winter wardrobe revolves around black, white, grey and beige. I'm super basic when it comes to colors, you'll never see me wearing red boots or pink coat even less during winter time. 

That being said, I was contacted by SheInside to pick an item from their website and do a review on it. Until it arrives I'm sharing you my picks from their website for cold weather. I'm obsessed with the beige coat (here), which looks super similar - I mean it's literally the same -  for one I saw at Zara the other day. I can't wait to try it and see how it looks. On the coat department, I'm also head over heels with this black and white plaid coat (here).

The turtle necks are a must this season, so I had to incorporate them in my picks (here / here). Also, a black pleated skirt (here) is a staple in every wardrobe especially for winter with a cute pair of ankle boots and a loose sweater on top. 

Oh my, I'm getting excited about fall/winter fashion so much. 

I can't wait for this week as the weather is going to drop pretty drastically.

Event ⎢Sisley Phyto Expert

Hi girls! Yes, this is real. It's happening : a post after a long two weeks of time off from the blogosphere. I don't even know what happened myself to be quite honest. Time just flew by so quickly since my birthday and we're already in October. Jeez! Time to buy some new coats and some wool scarves. Yay!

This week I went to a Sisley event in Brussels after a long day of work with Lindsay. It had been a long time since we saw each other so we had a lot to talk and gossip - oops - about haha.  We had so much fun discovering at Sisley's headquarters for the launch of their new Phyto Expert foundation. After a few hours of laughs and sipping on champagne we left with an even more amazing goodie bag. 

The foundation Phyto Teint Expert looks a-ma-zing and super luxurious, it's long lasting and is meant to enhances the surface of the skin to provide a smoother, healthier looking skin. It's oil free and also non-comedogenic which is super important in my opinion. I don't want no foundation messing with my pores. The most amazing part of this foundation is the weight less formula. I've had the opportunity to try it the other day and it feels so comfortable on the skin and stays all day. I'm super impressed so far. I'll do a proper review on this later as I need to experiment a little bit more with it.

Thank you Sisley for having us, it was lovely!
