LA PARISIENNE

Publication on Lancôme's official website

LA PARISIENNE

LA PARISIENNE

It is with a lot of feelings that I share this publication with you. You can find some articles on Lancôme.fr about me. Actually, I don’t know how to take this. When I see it, I almost have the feeling that it is not me. No, it can’t be me....This girl is on Lancôme’s official website, she is published between Caroline de Maigret, a Chanel ambassador and the perfect parisian girl and Angèle Ferreux-Maeght the founder of La Guinguette d’Angèle that I already wrote about here . It feels so unreal.

Also, as the Icelandic proverb says that there seldom is a single wave (good luck or bad luck is often followed by more of the same), the good thing with this article is that I get to try some of Lancôme’s iconic products. Of course I will share the experience soon with you here in this blog.

These articles are thanks to Rolling Pearl that I created one year ago. Time flies! Since then, a lot has changed, Rolling Pearl as well. I will stop the luxury consignment activity, at least temporarily to concentrate on new ones that are already taking 300% of my time. Today I work full time as a photographer and communication consultant and my plan is to transform Rolling Pearl into a community. Yes, one year after its creation, Rolling Pearl is still doing well. There are a lot of things that have happened in one year and I feel confident for the future as I know where I want to go.

This new community will keep the same values as the current Rolling Pearl’s philosophy. It will speak to girls and women who are passionate about fashion, especially sustainable fashion. I would like to inspire and empower ladies who are passionate with fashion to become more conscious with their fashion consumption. Yes, we are fashionable but we are totally conscious that it is possible to consume better. The creation of this community will be my project during summer 2016.

Thank you for being here for me. I know that some of you have been following me from the beginning, even before Rolling Pearl was created.

Ce n’est pas sans émotion que je partage cette parution sur Lancome.fr . En fait je ne sais pas comment réagir, j’ai l’impression que c’est une autre personne. Elle est affichée sur le site web de Lancome.fr, une référence de beauté française dans le monde entier, prise en sandwich entre Caroline de Maigret, l’égérie de Chanel et l’incarnation parfaite de la parisienne et Angèle Ferreux-Maeght la fondatrice de la Guinguette d’Angèle que j’ai déjà présentée ici. C’est juste incroyable.

Comme le dit un proverbe islandais qu’une vague arrive rarement seule (bonne ou mauvaise chance est souvent suivie par les mêmes autres), j’ai la chance de pouvoir tester quelques produits iconiques de Lancôme. Bien sûr que je vais partager avec vous mon expérience ici sur le blog. 

Tout ça c’est grace à Rolling Pearl que j’ai créée il y a un an. Le temps passe vite! Depuis, beaucoup a changé, d’ailleurs Rolling Pearl aussi. Je vais arrêter l’activité de dépôt-vente, au moins temporairement, pour me consacrer à d’autres activités qui me prennent déjà 300% de mon temps. Aujourd’hui il y a la photographie et le conseil dans le digital qui me prennent beaucoup de temps et ensuite il y a la communauté que je voudrais créer pour Rolling Pearl. Oui oui, un an après, ma société Rolling Pearl se porte bien. Il y a beaucoup de choses qui se sont passées en un an et pour l’instant je suis sereine, j’ai une vision. 

La philosophie de cette nouvelle communauté Rolling Pearl restera la même que la philosophie de Rolling Pearl aujourd’hui, elle est destinée pour toutes les filles qui sont passionnées par la mode, et surtout par la mode durable. Je voudrais inciter les fashionistas à être plus conscientes avec leurs consommations. Oui nous sommes des modeuses mais nous sommes totalement conscientes qu’il est possible de consommer de façon plus responsable. La création de cette communauté sera mon chantier pendant l’été. 

Merci à vous d’être là pour moi. Je sais que certains d’entre vous me suivent depuis tout début, même quand Rolling Pearl n’était pas encore créée.

The Devialet Phantom speaker is so pretty and powerful that the top 14 Apple Stores in the U.S. are now selling it. The 750 watt, 99 dB Phantom will sell for $1990, while the 3000 watt, 105 db Phantom Silver will be $2390.

The 1-foot-long device’s walls move to generate “implosion” which creates enormous bass and sharp trebles from a single speaker. 

Check it out for yourself.
