Check out my latest project with Sisley Paris for Grazia Magazine introducing the perfect winter lipstick Le Phyto Rouge.

Le Phyto Rouge is a care lipstick with an ultra-silky texture that envelops the lips with a fine, smoothing, contouring and hydrating film. Thanks to the "Hydrobooster Complex" composed of microspheres of Hyaluronic Acid and Konjac Glucomannans, lips are immediately plumped up, voluptuous and smoothed. With repeated applications, Le Phyto Rouge preserves the youthfulness of lips: a cocktail of enhancing oils provides nutrition, suppleness, and elasticity.

I've been ready to go on holidays since the beginning of June, living the nostalgia of when we were children and had 3 months ahead of us filled with leisure and sweet doing nothing.  I'm not complaining about my work situation that fortunately has me travel continuously, but my idea of holidays is the one of no internet, no Instagram, no Netflix ... just chill. 

Counting down the days to August when I'm leaving for Sicily and Como Lake I've already started prepping the summer essentials. Here is my sun army for Summer 2018.

Being under the sun’s rays for hours definitely requires a solid sunscreen with at least an SPF of 30. The Biotherm body milk protects your skin from the UV rays and dehydration.

The soft, non-sticky formula lasts all day and seals in hydration for an even, sun-kissed glow.

Rings, earrings, and necklaces that pay tribute to the beauty of the sun, the symbol of life. The sunrays come in the three shades of gold – white, yellow and pink – to encapsulate the magic of the cool tones of sunrise, the intensity of a summer’s afternoon and the romance of a sunset. Jewelry to experience and which is even more special in the variant with diamonds, dedicated to those that don’t want to forsake the sparkle of a full pavé.

I've decided not to Google anymore the places that I'm about to visit and leave it as a surprise. Starting with my trip to Bordeaux where I had to do it the old way, walking aimlessly and discovering the town one area at a time. I had 3 days in Bordeaux which are more than enough to see everything there is to see while walking and wine tasting at every corner. Bordeaux is the capital of the wine industry, at least that is what the French say because I'm sure Italians from Tuscany don't agree. 

Things to do in Bordeaux

Walk around the city

Half of the whole town is a World Heritage Site so you can't go wrong just walking for hours. Starting with the three main streets Cours Clemenceau, Cours de l’Intendance, Allées de Tourny then moving into the backstreets where you'll be amazed by the neoclassical buildings. 

A walk on the riverfront

The Garonne river has been one of the most important sites for the city of Bordeaux with its port that would connect the town with the World and be the main drive to economic development. The old port isn't there anymore, but walking up the Pont-de-Pierre you can see how rich this town was from the architecture of the waterfront 18th-century buildings. 

Cité du Vin

Opened in 2016 with a modern architecture  Cité du Vin is the biggest cultural center dedicated to wine. They don't have one of these in Tuscany, so maybe the French are right, Bordeaux is the world capital of wine. With tasting rooms, 800 different types of wines and lots of wine history exhibitions it is a unique place for wine lovers. 

Food

I can't suggest a specific place because everywhere I ate it was a delicious experience. The city is very close to the Atlantic ocean so fresh oysters are a must try, but Bordeaux is a carnivore town and its most famous dish is entrecôte marchand de vin, also called entrecote a la bordelaise. This dish is a rib steak cooked in a rich gravy made from Bordeaux wine. The typical sweets are called Canelés, tiny round cakes soaked in rum which used to be made by the nuns of the convent of Annonciades in Bordeaux. 

Antique Shopping

Twice a year, in Spring and Autumn, the Foire à la Brocante des Quinconces is the appointment of all vintage and antique lovers who live in the region. I stayed at an Airbnb and the lady who owned the house had decorated it all from pieces found at this market.
