Winter Layering

 Hi Stradi Girls and Boys :)

Today I'm sharing a total look from La Halle : the beautiful 27 Quai De Seine black men-style coat which is very warm and timeless. It's a must-have for your wardrobe ;) I chose to layer for this outfit because the days are really cold in Switzerland ! I'm wearing a La Halle white tshirt underneath a 27 Quai De Seine grey jacket (it feels so soft, it's incredible) and a La Halle denim shirt on top. I teamed this with black leggings and found a really cool necklace in the accessory line : it's made with black rope and golden hardware and it looks so chic and dress up any outfits ! 

Obviously, I couldn't help but fall in love with two items (even though I'm totally fond of everything)... It's this amazing bag from N by Naf Naf and it has this awesome lipstick print with a 70's vibe. It's just the most gorgeous thing ever ! Finally, this cutie little pair of camel suede booties with little tassels on the sides... They come from Creeks and they are just perfect !!! The have fake fur inside and a great sole which is important for a winter shoe. I almost didn't left them since I got 'em ;)

We Love: Cotton & Bass

Dear Stradi Girls & Boys !

Aujourd'hui, on vous parle de créateurs de la région. 

COTTON & BASS

Après 18 ans passés sur la radio Couleur 3, Baby Blu, le plus ghetto de tous les Genevois, décide d'arrêter la radio pour se lancer un nouveau challenge accompagné de son bras droit Mark Angelil (qu'on connaît aussi pour ses productions musicales qui ont égayés notre jeunesse). Il crée alors Cotton & Bass, marque genevoise  bien sûre mais fabriquée en Californie, depuis trois ans déjà. 

Il signe avec un showroom à Los Angeles où sont maintenant disponibles ses créations. Et bien sûr, après les Suisses, se sont les célébrités internationales qui s'arrachent les t-shirts à messages, à l'inspiration urbaine. De Diplo, Mobb Deep, Disiz, Sizzla, YG, Orelsan ou encore Charlie Sheen, c'est maintenant au tour de Snoop Dogg de se faire ambassadeur de bonne volonté LOL pour cette marque au bel avenir.

Trash, artistique, moderne et rebel, Cotton & Bass nous séduit au travers de son éventail de produits tels que les débardeur, t-shirt ou bonnet mais surtout pour ses images et phrases décalées. Oh, et si vous voyez un sticker YOU ARE NOT DEAD YET dans la rue, n'oubliez pas de le poster sur les réseaux sociaux avec le hashtag #cottonandbass

Pastel charms

Hello Stradi Girls & Boys !

We don't really know how and what to wear those days. One day, it's snowing out of hell and the other, the sun cuddles our skin (just a little but it's enough to feel the joy).

It was freezing the other day, so I put on my OH-SO-WARM-AND-SWEET pullover with that marble effect from LA HALLE (Modavista collection). Bright pants are perfect to match with. As my outfit was a lot light and pale, I chose to spice up a bit with that mustard bag - from the La Halle collection - that reminds the yellow touch on the sweatshirt. The biker boots are K by Kookai and are really perfect for every day. The leather is quite easy to shape. 27 Quai de Seine makes amazing stuff as this grey coat that fits with EVERYTHING ! Oh, and I almost forgot about the cute bracelets with charms. I love putting something feminine even if you're wearing something that doesn't show your curves.

Of course, you can shop this entire outfit in La Halle and make sure to check their new arrival here !

Tartan & Denim

 I'm here today with my new favorite sweater ! It comes from the Soft Grey collection at La Redoute and is so warm ! I love its tartan knittings and leather detailings on the shoulders. I wore it with some acid washed denim pants from Primark and of course my Persun black bag (which I never put to rest). And I wore for the first time these great platform trainers that Autumn gave me. They are from NewLook and have the perfect basic burgundy color ! I just really love to pair burgundy and denim with black and whites :)

* DASH OF BEAUTY *

Dear Stradi Girls & Boys !

Ce post en français pour vous présenter une découverte beauté basée à Lausanne. On vous fait mousser... oui !

Depuis quelques mois maintenant, un nouveau salon de beauté à ouvert au centre de Lausanne, à la rue du Maupas 6 exactement. On a adoré l'ambiance girly baroque et surtout les filles qui vous y accueilleront avec plaisir, Vanessa et Nadia. Spécialisées dans l'épilation du corps et visage, de la manucure simple à la pose de gel ainsi que l'extension de faux cils, DASH OF BEAUTY nous propose forcément un make-up bar.

On aime particulièrement les petites crèmes pour les mains proposées au comptoir et la musique qui sonne dans les haut-parleurs qui nous donnent l'impression d'être en boîte de nuit un peu underground à Londres.

Pour prendre rendez-vous, rien de plus simple, par téléphone au 079 376 98 89.

On vous laisse découvrir en image ce joli salon de beauté :)

Beauty Talk #1

We've been loving three lip products recently :)

Chanel Rouge Allure #136 Mélodieuse is a really nice pink color with subtle tones of coral. It's no secrets that Chanel make-up products are awesome but this color hasn't the best formula (the color is pigmented but you have to re-apply through the hours). Anyway, the packaging is just the absolute bomb so we're really into it !

Lancôme L'Absolu Rouge #368 is an intense raspberry red/pink color, it stays on forever (for a deeply moisturizing lipstick!) and we really really like the magnetic packaging !

L'Oréal Infaillible Lipgloss #506 Red Infaillible is the best hybrid between a lipstick and a gloss. You first have to apply the colored lipgloss and then a coat of a non-colored sort of balm which will help set the color for the day ! To remove it, you gotta scrub because its staying power is just incredible.

We have been wearing the Garnier BB Cream Soin Miracle Perfecteur for a very long time and we just really love it. It has a very nice texture and a light coverage so it's great if you want a no-make-up make-up kind of day ;) The Biotherm Aquasource BB Cream is also amazing but a little more pricy. It has more pigments than the Garnier one, seems to stay a lot longer and has a flawless finish (because it's made of mineral pigments !). We are obsessed with the Biotherm skincare products, they feel so good on the skin !

Let's talk about the eyes now ! The Chanel Les 4 Ombres eyes palettes have been part of our life since a few years, and we really love this one which is #37 Variation, it's so blendable and the colors are to die for ! You can also use these shadows with a wet brush which will make the colors a lot more pigmented and bold. We've also been loving this Little Mix Love eyes palette from their collaboration with Collection. 6 (super duper nice) eyeshadows for 4£, we couldn't resist ! They are mainly shimmering colors and a matte black one, which makes it the perfect palette to do a natural smoky eye. The staying power is very very good for the price !

 We are obsessed with the Mavala's Minis nailpolishes. It's really a childhood memory because they are made in Switzerland and growing up, everyone had these nailpolishes :) We bought a few from their new color range and really loved #97 Wichita, it's a very very light pink (looking adorably pinky-white with two coats). #217 New-York is the perfect grey, as well as #152 Mauve Cendré, so many beautiful colors ! They all look very chic and polished and also look awesome with a matte top coat !
