Antwerp: Spring-Sum 2015 Trends at The UPR Press Days

I left early in the morning without knowing …

Arrived in Antwerp, I waited and waited for the bus … almost one hour! Note that by walking, it would have taken half an hour max! On the bus after two stops, the driver asked us to get out because he ended his service and invited us to choose to wait for his colleague or take another bus, explaining that today there was the strike. 

I chose to walk twenty minutes under a drizzle that ruined my hair! When I finally arrived at UPR, nearly 2 hours late, I had a scarecrow head! Big thanks to the new hair products (completely ineffective) I’ve tried the night before to have the impeccable hair!

Never mind I’m right on time for the lunch organized by Club Med, for the presentation of its new Spring-Summer 2015, along with the CEO of Club Med Belgium and Luxembourg, Hadi Kamouh and his team. On the photo montage below: No. 1, the new catalog of Club Med.

The dishes cooked by the starred chef Pascal Devalkeneer are really delicious, my favorite: a dish consisting of thin slices of octopus (photo above). While the sommelier Eric Boschman is horrified seeing that I drink Coca Zero. “When you want to return to civilization …” he says to me serving me a glass of wine, LOL!

As I almost exclusively communicate through the Internet,

I have little opportunity to meet the people I work with. So it is always a pleasure to go to press days and put a face to familiar names : )

And of course discover new collections and labels that I didn’t know, such as Rado and Bell & Ross watches, the German brand Dorothy Schumacher, with simple lines and beautiful materials. And the Luz jewelry, really trendy.

On the photo montage above: No. 2, suspense! The beautiful Sam Edelman ankle boots, very soon in one of my fashion posts. No. 3, the Swarvoski necklace with 700 mini cristaux very soon in an upcoming post on a series of selfies I realized. And No. 4, the Ferragamo beautiful sunglasses, very Dolce Vita.

As you know I am a huge fan of sunglasses

And beauty: shortly on the blog, my new tests of l’Occitane products. I also had the opportunity to test the famous Sopolish of Pronails. Stickers to put on nails, on which the polish is applied for a perfect finish for three weeks! Without damaging the nails. To remove the polish, just remove the stickers!

Since the stickers and nail polish were applied (one week), my nails remained perfect! With my usual polish, after 2 days, it’s a disater. On the above photo montage: No. 1, the different sizes of stickers. No. 2, stickers placed on the nails, before limiting. No. 3, the ultra glam and flashy red that I chose. And No. 4, the catalog of the beautiful Spring-Sum 2015 collection of the Swedish brand Philippa K.

A Manicure @ So Spa By Sofitel Saint James London

After a day where I ran from one end to the other in the freezing cold London

(planning totally messed), I arrived at 6:30 p.m. at So Spa by Sofitel Saint James London for a manicure. Perfect timing before dinner with a friend. From the entrance, the quiet and the home lighting create a kind of cocoon that contrasts to my today rhythm.

Slowly the stress falls and I am slightly drowsy while the manicure begins. Carita for hands and OPI for nail care and nail polish, but I took one of my favorite varnish, the red London from Mavala. Safer for touch, knowing the very limited duration of  my manicures (LOL!).

Soon I was served a nonalcoholic giant cocktail (included in the treatment, usually it’s a Martini) which gives me the impression of being on a distant beach with a perfect temperature … Honestly this huge cocktail gave a another dimension to the manicure done with great care!

A big thanks to my care manicure. When it was finished, I was directed to the lounge upstairs. Where once again I found the ceiling height of the building (a former bank) unbelievable. If the decoration and lighting of the rest room lend themselves wonderfully to extend this feeling of calm (photo 4), they did not count on two thirties clients screaming (yep!) their woes at work! I’m Zen, zen I go in my room.
