Here are my latest finds and news from fashion, film, style, design and beautiful living.

• Coco Rocha is the face of the Banana Republic summer campaign (photos 1&4). This is one of my favourite high street fashion brands and right now I am coveting this gorgeous printed blue silk halter.
• A piece of interior design I absolutely love (photo 2), where everything fits in so perfectly: part of the La Bureau Prive designed by Raji Radhakrishnan for the Kips Bay Show
• The safari look (photo 3) as interpreted in the June issue of Vogue Russia
• Helen, of The Style Schedule, takes us to a beautiful journey of the trench
• How to: classic side ponytail
• The Great Gatsby trailer is here and all I can say is that I am very curious to see what Baz Luhrman will bring to the story. Romance in his own unique way for sure and an epic ending?
• Natalia, of Fashioned by Love, has shared her favourite natural and organic make-up products. I always cherish her healthy living advice.
• Cannes Red Carpet: Diane Kruger in Nina Ricci and Jennifer Connelly in Gucci, my favourites so far
• New on the ‘shelves’ of Bastilia Bookstore (I talked about it here): Saint-Marcellin, Morbier, Roquefort, Tête de Moine, Selles sur Cher, Livarot, Camembert, Cantal entre deux. All the products are shipped in from France, from Rungis, the biggest market of fresh products in the world. To take away or enjoy in the bookstore’s attic. Recommended: the “Simone de Beauvoir” and “Jean-Paul Sartre” plates.
• What’s on the French kitchen table, don’t you want to know?

I can’t wait to see The Great Gatsby – Baz Luhrmann and his team always put have a luscious and decadent view of their storytelling. A visual feast! Diane Kruger – not a foot or hemline wrong -seriously she’s just beautiful…. Great interior design by Raji Radhakrishnan too.
And thank you, my dear, for the mention – glad you enjoyed it – you must let me know what you think when you watch Paris Blues!
Great links as always :)xx
This is such a wonderful collage. I think the BR campaign is so much fun this year. I cannot wait to see The Great Gasby! Diane Kruger is just killing me on the red carpet, it’s one gorgeousness after another. The Nina Ricci dress looked so good on her. I’ve bookmarked Natalia’s post.
Have a wonderful day!
Ah, first of all, thank you for the mention, darling!!! Glad the post was useful. I am still testing some new skin care, so will eventurally write about them, too (currently got myself skin-friendly fake tan – we’ll see how this works out
)
I am really looking forward to the movie, I must admit. I like Di Caprio and he always does good movies, so I am sure it will be something nice to watch.
Really like your choice to top. I’ve recently discovered how great this shape is for my shoulders and will be wearing a couple of things like this, too.
Have a wonderful day, sweetheart!

You have to tell me more about the skin-friendly fake tan, I haven’t succeeded so far and I don’t do sun tanning anymore. That top shape is great for my shoulders too.
If only a BR store was closer to Bucharest, it’s always a must-stop when in London. I’ve just realized that the blue one I mentioned is no longer available. 
I loved the GG trailer, I literally cannot wait for this movie to come out – the costumes, the sets, the cast all look incredible! Off to visit your other note pages! xx
Wonderful images. I am so excited to see the Great Gatsby, one of my all time favorite books!

I love the classic side pony. I actually wear my hair that way quite a bit during the summer. Also loved Diane Kruger in Nina Ricci. She looked stunning. She almost always does.
Off to check out the rest of your Notebook pages

I can’t wait for the GG!!! diving into your links now! thanks, i’ve been so busy and out of the loop, I need to catch up.
Hi Ada! I really love the links that you shared! I used to think Banana Republic is not really my style but they do have nice classics! Thank you for sharing the link for organic makeup products (I love reading and trying new skin care stuff!) and what’s on the French kitchen table? I’m curious about that sort of stuff, haha
xoxoxoo
The Great Gatsby trailer is amazing, can´t wait for the movie! Have a great weekend! xoxo
Totally swooning over the resort collection. This was one brand I really wanted to work for if I wasn’t living across the pond.
Loving the updates and links… There’s been plenty of action all week! I’m just most excited about GG and the amazing fashion that’s going to be coming out for Xmas!
