When discussing trends, puffer jackets are clearly taking over. Talking about the revival of nightmare-items our parents forced us to wear back in the 90s, puffer coats are officially back.
In fact, dozens of luxury and low cost brands have presented their own puffer jackets version (Balenciaga started the red puffer trend last year). Oversized, pop, fluffy – the bigger the better seems to be this trend first rule, but because something that unflattering and unfeminine can be intimidating to wear, there are a couple of ways to wear it I feel like suggesting: first, balance the extra volume on top with something basic and skinny on the bottom, like a cropped skinny jeans or cigarette pants; preferably wear a pair of heels too to flatten your silhouette. Otherwise, when feeling like wearing some wide-leg pants, put a coordinate belt on your waist and puffer to valorize your natural shape.

When it starts getting colder my skin is not that happy, since it becomes sensitive and super dry as soon as the temperature goes low. As you can imagine this is when I stock the house with moisturizers the most and try different brands and consistency. The products pictured above are the moisturizers I tried lately and discovered they are perfect for all skin types in different ways and here the reasons why.

The Clinique Moisture Surge is a light and comfortable gel that plumps your skin and makes it radiant. It is perfect for a normal or oily skin type, because its light texture doesn’t deliver the extra moisture boost a dry skin is yelling for.

Another cream product I’ve been using is the Egyptian Magic Cream, which is cruelty free and a hundred percent natural. It is made from olive oil, bees wax, honey, bee pollen and propolis, which is the real magic ingredient with loads of healing properties. Since the heavy consistency of beeswax could cause pimples and outbreaks on more sensitive skins, this product is perfect for very dry skin.

Last but certainly not least, the perfect moisturizer for a combo skin type as I have. Avène is my all time favorite brand for body and face products. I use the Hydrating Emulsion for sensible skin that it’s nor too heavy or too light, so it can assure the optimal result. I use it as a make-up base and before bedtime to keep my face hydrated and bright throughout the chilly days.

Moving days are not over and my desktop is filled with tons of interior design inspiration I have to get through before going furniture shopping. As for style and fashion, I do like a minimal nordic, Scandinavian interior with clean lines and a lot of plants and wooded objects. Creating the idea of being surrounded by nature can help me detox from the city chaos, so I choose some greens every time I have to decor a space or corner. Gold is my favorite metal and the one I mostly pick for assets, such as lamps or knobs details; but most importantly, who does not love a house full of books, art and fashion magazines? Both on shelves or piled on the floor as they were some kind of bedside table?
