Guerlain...I love you!

Guerlain's Tradition, Glamour, Quality, packaging, Campaigns and Originality in everything made me always prefer them to all other cosmetics brands.

But above all, the quality of the customer service is the best one I ever saw...Here's the story,
L'instant de Guerlain; the bottle of perfume I wear since 2001; got a problem closing, and it was the first time that this happens in 10 years, so I decided to go to Guerlain Store, the one in front of Le Bon Marché in Paris to see if they fix it, and also to warn them about the flow.
I entered, found there a very nice manager, and as soon as I finished talking about my problem, he took the bottle, apologized and packed a new one, thanking me for helping them improve their products.......

Isn't that AMAZING???!!!

Guerlain I love you.

So sexy !!!

The 1st one of the So Sexy Category goes to my love,
my passion, my second half and the sexiest man to me...

I <3 u... Mauro.

When hong Kong is a woman...

Last day….

Younger than shanghai
The lady,
This city breathes a woman sophistication.
When hong ong is a woman.
She stands in emancipation,
fans her lashes,
highlights her lines ,
clasping her silver handbag
under a coat of grey.
Dismantles an entire truth.
Hong Kong,
a woman of contract.
the districts flash
with a compressed rhythm
the pathways,
unravel time's passing.
A glowing fuse the ladies are reveries for wanderlust.
Her contenders trail into her heart.
The sunsets approaching night's fall,
and she undoes her hair
allowing a pause along the journey.
HK whispers
a quiet melancholy,
echoing a delicate magnetism,
She plays the mirage of a seductive glance.
From her vertical frames,
she mesmerizes guest through a gateway to her motherland.
the voyager vanishes embraced by the labyrinth.
Until dawn break
she is a charmer, a keeper, a romatic in hiding.
Miss HK holds my eternal fascination.

Louis Vuitton.....and Me!

Let's get it straight now.... for you not to think straight away: bling bling....or Sarkozy!
My passion for that brand came after 3 years spent in the heart of that Group...
I worked in the head office in Paris, designed stores in USA and JAPAN, learned a lot about Art, Architecture, Fashion....etc, I guess that my time working there revealed many things in me.
Now about the products, I was not a big fan of the very famous Monogram, I mean, until I discovered the secrets of the ateliers, the savoir-faire, the Vuitton family house which is now their museum and he love they give to each tiny part of their products, to offer them to us, with care.
Another thing that kept me addicted, is all the organization, strategy and leadership inside of LVMH group. Definitely the best school to learn....and thinking of it, I was quite lucky, getting there, being the youngest architect in the department, with 21years old, and already dealing with big heads ;)

Now, this was just a brief introduction, to put you in the context dear readers ;)

Well, what leaded me to this post is, an amazing short fi, one of many that LV made, but definitely the best until now....


"When hong kong is a woman..."
Directed by Jean-Claude Thibaut, Louis Vuitton presents When Hong Kong Is A Woman and the poetry is beautiful in description over the music as Hong Kong is described as a woman – the complete visual after the jump!
According to the full description at LV, gender is used as a lens to interpret this city’s identity. When Hong Kong Is A Woman is the first in a series of interpretations.


SOOOO inspiring, I'll put it with the text in a following post...
