Fashion: Let’s Go To The Beach In Algarve, Portugal

Posted on May 27, 2014 | Leave a comment

Please give me a (fashion) break!

And let’s head to this small beach in Algarve! Here are my happy few must have to go to the beach! Colorful pareos (pictures 1 & 5, Zara and picture 3 Gérard Darel). I always take many, I also use them as a scarf or a cover when it’s a bit windy!

Colorful African bangles to chill with my Portugese ELLE …

I’m looking at the waves …

While my Roxy T-shirt is drying. The fabric is so sweet! Pictures below & 8: my “Slim” Havaianas, loved them for ages! A bit of glam protection with Vichy Compact Solaire Embellisseur SFP 30 that also illuminates the skin.

Nice zebra design to match with my XXL beach bag!

Stylish Diane Von Furstenberg wallet in plastic to remove sand! Time for Bikini girls (picture 9)! Can’t find my top, oops I forget to take a picture of the bikini’s top!

I could stay hours swimming!

That’s why I tested the Bio Beauté by Nuxe’s 50 SFP sunscreen, with a delicious coconut perfume and paraben free. Unfortunately the texture is a bit greasy and leaves on the skin a white layer. But the protection is strong!

Love these natural leather sandals

of Zara. Never without my Essie nail polish! Sorry I have to go back hammocking under the Algarve incredible blue sky! So what are your “go to the beach” must have? I’m really curious to discover yours …

The pictures were shot at the beach of the beautiful Vila Vita Parc.

TOKYO CITY GUIDE : CULTURE / STREET LOOK

Tokyo Illustrations of Christophe Prebois

Coffee shop, short break after a traditional fabrics hunting with Christophe Prebois, the fashion designer of Brutals (stylish shirts for men).

A notebook on table : sketches and draws of Christophe’s travel in Japan. Some sketches look like photos. Others remind me the rythm of fabrics prints. I look at them, take pictures. Such beautiful illustrations!

Street Style

“Let’s walk in the woods, while the little blue hood … there! ” A week of real street looks: snapshots on the board below.

Between kawaii kawaiiiiiiii pink and holder Stockings in Harajuku, multicolored polka dots and green boots in Omotesando and eighties revival with slippers in Yoyogi Park. Coach, I sign for another week!

The Rockers of Yoyogi Park Vs The Shibuya Girls Fashion Shows

Right, I’ve often met the most xtreme rockers! Here are the dancers rockers of Yoyogi Park. Impressive mix of unique hairstyle with acrobatic jumps. They are the real “characters” of Yoyogi Park.

It was reckoning without the intrusion of Kawaii Land: why do these fashion teens rush with such frenzy? Fashion shows open to public.

If you want to check out the Shibuya girl style (the fashion tribe not the brand): visit the famous department store 109… in Shibuya of course!

Me, I can’t stand the bad techno musics loudly played in the differents shops there. Plus the chorus of non stop « sumimasen » shouted by salespersons. And I don’t like the outfits too, pretty boring. Harajuku is much more fun!

DOMO ARIGATO TO ALL OF YOU!
