“Envy is a lack of appreciation of our own uniqueness and self-worth. Each one of us has something to give that no one else has.” – unknown Well... today there are so many "influencers" that share tips and tricks on how to put on your make up like you have a master degree in that, or on how to get dressed and walk like you're on the runway even while you're just out taking the trash, plus many other crazy interesting stuff but nobody ever shares any kind of advice on how to NOT be a freaking envious bitch. S o... I decided to share some of my personal "tips and tricks" on how to  stop that green demon eat up your soul like I used to eat fast food!  Here are my thoughts on how I manage to sincerely celebrate other’s beauty, success, or accomplishments. I do not envy others because I am not in competition with them. I do not envy others because I do not compare myself to them. We are all unique and unicity is not to be compared, if it was, it would be comparin...

I am a huge enthusiast when it comes to prints that resemble the fur or skin patterns of predator animals such as tigers, cheetahs, zebras or pythons. Animal print handbags, footwear or even jewelry are e ye-catching and add interest to any wardrobe. Go for apex predator prints whenever you’re looking to turn heads in the urban jungle!

I am. And yes, of course, you are, she is, he is and they are too. We all are! Beauty comes in different shapes, colors, and sizes, still the World and Media tried to standardize it. This is a matter of taste and the truth is, some things can be standardized while some, simply cannot be. For instance, just because the chocolate flavor is massively preferred, that does not make strawberry or lemon flavor less attractive to the ones who enjoy it. Beauty is diverse and this is great, so let us all enjoy it! Comparison to others is toxic, the only person we are supposed to compete with is ourselves in order to better and grow. Ask yourself "How can I get to be the best version of myself?" and take action! Embrace what makes you unique, different. There is a saying " Nobody is you and that is your power "!

“I'll make him an offer he can't refuse." - Mario Puzo, The Godfather Undeniable refinement. Suits, tuxedos, black or white tie dress codes for sublime elegance. It's all in the cuts, the power lies in the cuts. Suits are a popular choice in the daily fashion of some, still, a tuxedo is a mode for exclusive events as galas, balls, weddings, etc. Black Tie dress code, as the name advocates, consists of a black tuxedo, matching black trousers, optional black vest, white shirt, black bow tie or if preferred, black long tie. The most formal dress code is the White Tie code. A black tailcoat, white shirt and waistcoat, and high-waisted, black tuxedo trousers are mandatory for this look. Memorable events do not take place daily, still, I believe that everyday looks can stand out as unforgettable simply by wearing elegant fashion pieces.  What do you think? Love, Andreea Carmen

Oui, mon amour!  Je sais que c'est interdit...  Sensuality, confidence with an overdose of nostalgia for romance, all those ravishing notes seem to be exquisitely transposed within the style of the French femmes. Charming and eternally in love, there is something almost dreamy about their fashion and how it compliments them.  Soft and delicate fabrics as satin and tulle, pleated midi skirts and kitten heels are some chic French accents to fuse with any outfit and make it look like part of the most romantic histoires d'amour. Natural makeup, rosy cheeks, and bold lips are beauty favorites of the French femmes. Ah! Of course, I will mention the notorious beret, the belts, and the shoulder bags as imperative details for a complete accessorization. PS: Quelle est votre histoire d'amour préférée? Mon préféré est Bonnie et Clyde :) Amour, Andreea Carmen

Could be the Italian films or the Italian stunning actresses as Claudia Cardinale or Sophia Loren that convinced me that if seduction could walk, it would walk into the stilettos of an Italian woman. Seduction is the Italian women's signature, in bold. Deep decolletage or mini dresses, the style remains refined as there is only one feature emphasized at time. Accessories as statement jewelry, handbags and sunglasses are a total yes to an Italian look. Still, there are some indispensable elements that are consistently encountered in Italian looks. Whether they favor a monochromatic mini turtleneck bodycon dress or a midi v-neck / off shoulders bodycon dress, stilettos are everlastingly a choice. Smokey eyes in neutral colors and nude contoured lips accentuate the natural beauty Italian women possess. What do you think about the Italian style and who is your favorite Italian actress, if you have one? Love, Andreea Carmen
