CABOURG IS NOT FAR ENOUGH FOR YOU ?

 

TRY THEN BARCELONA AND THE HOTEL NERI :

 

When modernism hits classicism

 

 Hotel Neri is set in a beautiful, central old town, away from the craziness of other areas in Barcelona, surrounded by history, museums, art and culture. 

Isn’t this sofa inviting ?

An interesting mix of shades

 

The purity of the stone and the lighting.

 

Away from the city chaos

 

Divine rest

 

Old stones and a gurgling fountain

Is the laptop essential Honey ?

 

 

A cool bath

I’m hungry Sweety Pie !

 

 

 

Neri Hotel offers 22 exclusive rooms, a solarium, library, a beautiful, accommodating restaurant, and much more for their guests.

Pure luxury and elegance creates a lovely ambiance that combines "warm colours, pleasant textures, relaxing music, enveloping aromas and unmistakable flavours."

Truly Hotel Neri is nothing short of magical—a place in which to relax, to dream, to explore, to remember...

JAYA CONCEPT : COUTURE WITH ATTITUDE

 

Don’t we all aspire to have the best of wardrobes, filled with the most beautiful and highest quality dresses, and don’t we all want to impress our darling friends with being THE different one, the one who has found THE secret address while our darling girls have only ventured as far as  Mango and Sandro with a sprinkle of Bel Air and Maje. So mean to say that… but so true ! N’est-ce-pas Ladies ?!

This pearl of luxurious day and night fashion wear is tucked in the heart of Saint Germain des Près, between Saint Sulpice and Odéon, on the lovely and dainty rue de Tournon.

Its name : JAYA CONCEPT.

Not just another Fashion boutique; SO MORE THAN THAT !

A luxurious couture concept created by the prolific Cambodian Designer Romida KETH,  well known already in the Far East and now in Paris thanks to Nanda DEVI-NORODOM, no other than King of Cambodia’s  NORODOM SIHANOUK’s  grand daughter herself.

 

JAYA CONCEPT  is a mix of royal fabrics with couture details, Feminity with Elegance, Colour with Sobriety, Sexy and Glamour.

 

Each jacket will give you that long and lean appearance as it is cut to perfection.

 

Day, cocktail  and evening dresses in an amazing palette of colours, rich and vibrant.

What is so special about JAYA CONCEPT is that you can do bespoke orders choosing your own silk colour out of a mesmerising palette of about 60 different colour swatches ! You want longer sleeves, JAYA CONCEPT will do it for you. You want more of a plunging neckline, they will do it for you. Anything is possible and in very little time.

And to add the perfect touch, the ultimate clucth, coordinated to your outfit.

Open it up and be flabbergasted by the detailing so “Couture”; you wish you could keep it open for every one to see the inside of your bag !

 

 

 

And behind JAYA CONCEPT lies a noble and beautiful story … I won’t say more , I’ll let you discover for yourself at :

http://www.jayaconcept.com/ and even better at the Boutique where Nanda’s welcoming, discreet and helpful team will assist you in their very elegant manner.

TOTAL OCTOBER MAKE OVER

 

September is always a month of adjustments,kids back to school, you back to your work mates,  but come October, it is the perfect month to get your agenda out while sipping a delightful cappucino with lots of heavy cream topping it ( don’t you dare !).

You agenda is opened on Wednesday September 28th, and a powerful wave of good resolutions swirls in.

Get your body back !!

 

If you need a little hand to tow you in , open your laptop and check “ healthy-perfection on the web for some sound advice, for some motivating photos; perfect at breakfast time so that you don’t engulp a full bowl of porridge with dewy honey melting the hill of butter you’ve sneaked on, as if we didn’t see you do it ! Ha !

There’s for personnal comfort. So wisely true. It sure is a strong and powerful feeling to be in control .

 

tumblr_li9ni0fMUO1qffloyo1_400_thumb

 

It all starts really with planning for good food first :

enjoy making a new list of healthy salads to concoct, pick ideas here and there, find all sorts of inviting recipes and images that will motivate you.

 

It is a pleasure to go to the market and already feel that you are doing yourself some good by just buying the bloddy slimming stuff !

tumblr_l9zm5bPJlg1qe7yq5o1_400_thumb

 

Food shopping should stick to those healthy areas like the grocery store not the candy store, avoiding  the cheese department as well, and the croissants  counter, that horrid space on earth, you leave it for the fatties.

Breakfast could turn out to be as healthy as that bowl.

Fruits and berries

Lunch can be as tasty as this but let’s try to keep in mind that your plate should have a go at the following :

And Hapy Hour will resemble from now on as this sunny and colourful plate as below:

Where’s the daiquiri , Babe ?

 

By the end of the day, this very wednesday September 28th, always be specific; it helps, your motto will be as below :
