The Belle of the New Year’s Eve Ball

The party season is in full swing, with much joy at lunches and dinners with friends (my family lives abroad).

I have already taken my festive outfit for the New Year’s Eve party out of the wardrobe. I will wear this beautiful green tulle skirt by Julia Gloor (purchased in November) and an old (so, so, so old!) black pullover, which still looks brand new.

And, for one night, I will trade my ballerinas for these high heel ankle boots.


To finish off the look, I’m going to put on these gloves and this faux fur coat by Carla G. to keep warm when we stick our noses outside to see the fireworks.

A hint of perfume for that final touch.

I have decided that I’m going to put on make-up. After all, it’s not New Year’s Eve every day! As luck is on my side, my Lancôme Advent calendar came full of make-up and beauty products. Since I am not skilled in make-up, I have asked my beautician and friend L. to give me some tips for using what I have in my make-up bag.

I’m buzzing in anticipation of New Year’s Eve.

  3. Coucou ma belle ! Cette tenue est vraiment parfaite en tout point. Elle est sublime ta jupe en tulle. Tu voulais de l'élégance, tu l'as, mais avec sobriété et un soupçon de originalité.  Tu vas faire un tabac. <333

    1. Thanks for your kind message Taís! The best time to visit Geneva is during the summer. So, we will have to organise that in due course. I would advise you to stay longer than 2 days to really profit from your visit. See you soon.

    1. Fico feliz que tenha gostado, Ana. É acima de tudo um look muito confortável com um toque feminino. Isto dito, faltam poucas horas para a grande noite. Beijinhos
