HOTEL MURANO RESORT MARRAKECH

27 November 2014 Voyage Stephanie Zwicky

I needed a little break, right now I have my head to the grindstone for several in order to achieve several projects, and sorting my Marrakesh pictures out did me a lot of good.

After my pictures of Marrakesh city here and those of the Majorelle Garden here, I’m now sharing with you those of the hotel I stayed in.

If I choose to talk about it here, it’s because it completely fulfilled my expectations. I thought that maybe you could use a good hotel address in Marrakesh.

I spent 7 nights in the Murano Resort, an hotel located in the Marrakesh’s palm grove. You might need to know that you have to take a taxi to reach downtown, but it’s not much of a problem since the hotel provides you with a shuttle with a driver for €10. And most of the hotels in the palm grove do the same (Club Med, Deux Tours, etc.)

The Murano Resort is rather contemporary but really marked by oriental codes, I really loved this style, very “new Marrakesh”.

When I booked my stay in Marrakesh, my main goal was to rest, enjoy the sun and take my mind off things.

I told the hotel that I was travelling with a 22 months-old baby and they put the perfect place at our disposal. That is to say a private villa with its own pool in front of the terrace. I could not have hoped for better. While my son Lino was taking his naps, I was able to enjoy the pool and sleep in the sun. It was the first time I was able to do that since his birth, so I might as well tell you that I savored every bit of these moments.

The hotel has 4 villas available spread in a huge garden in the palm grove. The palm trees that are in it are sacred, when one builds something there it’s forbidden to touch them. Which creates perfectly integrated in nature housing. It’s gorgeous and very clever.

I had not taken the board in the hotel, just breakfasts, so I would be free to go and eat in the different restaurants that the city has to offer. Nevertheless I ate in the hotel a few times and the dishes were really delicious.

Since the hotel is huge and well equipped, the villas are all hidden and it’s very easy to isolate yourself and really enjoy the peace and quiet. As you’ve probably guessed by now, it’s a haven of peace, even with a little family.

Pool wise, there are 5 in total, no wading pools but my son had a great time in the big pool thanks to the large steps that served as a shallow pool. The main pool is red, well the tiling in it is, it’s a bit unsettling at first.

I leave you with a few pictures that will hopefully make you want to stay there. To book a stay, I recommend the website hotels.com, that’s where I found the best prices.

A last digression and then I’m off to bed, I’m really pale in the pictures : the day before our departure I put my back out. I was injected with some morphine derivative directly into the back, which allowed me to take my plane the day after. In the mean time I was pretty… ugly.

Now go and take a big dose of palm trees and sunshine.

#LINGERIE – BESTFORM (concours inside)

You know me, I’m a fan of beautiful lingerie. And when I come across beautiful brands I share my favorites with you.

Today, I’m going to talk to you about Bestform.

I knew this brand by name but I had never taken the leap of purchasing something. A few weeks ago, I had the chance to try one of their sets and make my mind about their range.

PEAU LAINÉE

24 November 2014 Tenues du jour Stephanie Zwicky

After my little sheepskin coat last year, I was desperately looking for a black version this season.

And bam ! My heart went boom for this sheepskin-like coat. It’s exactly what I was looking for, warm, wide, comfortable, and frankly as chic as rock’n’roll. This little coat I found at Oliver Jung is just what I needed.

KAKI MARINE

20 November 2014 Tenues du jour Stephanie Zwicky

Here is my darling khaki sweater from last Monday again, I told you about a new color match that I love, and there it is.

I think I’ve seen it in Italy. To me, Italians are the champions of fancy associations like this one. In big cities like Rome, Venice or Turin, the mastery of the associations is perfect to my eyes.

You’ve already seen the big COS vest over a little dress. It’s making a comeback over my soft mohair sweater.

I don’t own any share of COS believe me, but I’m literally melting for their style, if I could only dress in their clothes it would suit me perfectly. Come on COS, don’t you wanna embark on a PlusSize collection ?

The sunglasses I’m wearing remind me of Anouk Aimé, you know this gorgeous actress who did a lot of films with italian directors. Including the famous Dolce Vita, I think she holds the film together. Anyway that’s another topic but when I saw these Karl Lagerfeld sunglasses I immediately thought of her.

I took a picture of the frame with a little more light because it’s beautiful, these shades of khaki green and blue, perfect for my outfit, don’t you think ?

These sunglasses are available at Optic2000. Karl Lagerfeld designs really good and inspired collections, for about €150, I’m impressed.

A last word to talk about my boots, I’ve discovered the Geox rain range. Would you believe that I could jump into puddles while keeping my feet dry. Plus, they’re way more gorgeous than a pair of rain boots, right ?

MINI CHOSES #1

18 November 2014 Enfant featured Stephanie Zwicky

It’s a big first, my son Lino is making his entrance on the blog.

Don’t panic, I’m not going to become a children and mommies blog, but since the love of my life is closely standing alongside with my professional world, I find it natural after all that he could be able to appear in it from time to time.

For this first appearance, I felt like talking about nice, made in France products.

The pajamas Lino is wearing come from a collection imagined by 5 dads that were fed up with getting always lumbered with Cars or Mickey Mouse on their children’s pajamas. They then created Just Pyjama, cotton pajamas, made in France, at soft prices. The idea is also to mix the pajama tops and bottoms and with each match recreate a different set of pajamas.

I fully agree with this concept. Additionally, each set of pajamas comes with its own free gift wrapping, all for less than €15. Cool dads, huh ?

On his feet, leather moccasins created by a young mom in partnership with a podiatrist.

Lino uses this pair inside but they can also be used outside when the weather is dry. I love the fringe in the back, the elastic is super convenient to slip them on the feet of a wriggling little boy. I just felt like buying everything on the e-shop, these shoes/slippers are so convenient.

I took advantage of the situation to take a few pictures of Lino while he was playing, jumping on his bear and riding across the living-room on his racing car ! It rocked !

Welcome my little icing sugar ♡

A LA PHARRELL

17 November 2014 Tenues du jour Stephanie Zwicky

Why “à la Pharell” ? Simply because of the hat that reminded me of Vivienne Westwood’s creation that Pharell wears. An excessive hat.

Outfit wise, I’m in love with this khaki mohair sweater from COS, I wear it with everything. I’ve been planning another color match that I will show you very soon.

My little gray coat you’ve already seen at the beginning of the season, and these 7/8 pants from Kiabi’s limited edition collection. A trendier collection, less silkscreen printing, a carefulness about the fabrics, and still small prices. Long story short, if you’re looking for little black pants, run to the nearest Kiabi.

To give them a touch of fun, I wore my Pas Chassé lurex socks. I recommend this website for their nice creations of socks, what’s good is that the fabric isn’t too thick, which counts if you have chubby feet.

On my arm, I took back out my Givenchy, exactly in the shades of khaki I have a fondness for this winter. We’ll get along just fine him and me this season.

I’ll leave you with some pictures, the links are below the pictures as usual.

Have a good beginning of the week !

POISON IVY (REDUCTION INSIDE)

13 November 2014 Tenues du jour Stephanie Zwicky

Empire green, imperial green, I looked up the name of this green in a Pantone in order to give it a pretty name. At least as lovely as the outfit I’m wearing today.

I love this mix, I’ve never been scared of some glitter during the day, but it’s the first time I’m trying green sequins. And it’s beautiful, it’s dark, almost sober.

Of course I toned it down with the rest of the outfit. A big matching coat and a black sweater.

Even the shoes, which by the way are super comfy (I’m telling you), are quickly going to become essential this winter.

All of these beauties come from Dorothy Perkins’ and, like last month, sweet Dorothy is giving a treat to my readers because she knows you love her very much.

PICKTURE (CONCOURS INSIDE)

12 November 2014 De l'inspiration Stephanie Zwicky

You know me, I’m very active on social networks, it’s a great way to keep in touch but also to share things we like.

Through the things I share, I often encourage you to visit one website or another, and it’s not always easy to remember them, especially when you already have an overflowing list of bookmarks inside which you can’t see clearly at all anymore.

Today I’m going to talk to you about a new social network that’s going to make online shopping easier for you : Pickture.

It’s going to allow you, not only to file it in a list or a lookbook, but also to share it with your personal network.

And what I find really handy is that you can shop directly from Pickture, your pick is connected to the e-shop, all you have to do is order.

No need to find the link of the shop where you saw this little dress or the last tablet you absolutely want anymore, Pickture allows you to make all of your shopping in the same place.

Thanks to this network, you’ll be able to :

follow serial shoppers and draw your inspiration from their shopping list
create lookbooks for a project (for example redecorate your living-room and gather everything you need to make it)
create lists for an event (for example a christening, your birthday, Christmas, etc.)

Pickture, it’s also a trending space fueled by a team of experts. A community into which you’ll be able to find your favorite brands’ pages.

To top it all off, a good deals space that gathers all the applicable discount codes. Not bad, huh ?

To get familiar with this new social network, let me propose a little contest to spoil you before Christmas !

I made my own Christmas’ wishlist (that my Santa Claus might find useful this year, Santa if you’re reading this, dash off to Pikture).

And you lucky girls are going to be able to try and win 1 piece from my Christmas’ wishlist which is filled with beautiful gifts. You can find it here.

It’s easy to participate :

Create your profile (that’s easy) on Pickture
Create your Christmas’ wishlist and pick out the gifts you’d like (to pick, download the Pickture button that will then appear in your browser in the top lef-hand corner or add a picture)
Then come share the url of your list containing about 20 items in a commentary down below

The deadline is November 20^th, midnight

There you go, I now will let you start and discover this new network.

Good luck to you all !

LAQUE

10 November 2014 Tenues du jour Stephanie Zwicky

A Monday that isn’t really a Monday if you’re lucky enough to have made it into a 4 days week-end. Be that as it may, let me share with you a little outfit I was wearing yesterday while I was taking a walk in the Marais.

I’ve completely fallen in love with this sweater with its large black vinyl band in the middle. The contrast between mat and lacquered is really gorgeous. Can you feel how crazy I am about it ?

To play even more with the contrasts, I took out one of my new blue velvet coats, very oversized.

You’ve already seen these perfect little jeans, they’re from Torrid, super well cut, perfect to wear with high heels.

A bright touch on my lips and I have an over all quite simple outfit but still elaborate by way of its fabrics.

Have a good beginning of the week !

NAVABI – STYLE COUNCIL #1

7 November 2014 Tenues du jour Stephanie Zwicky

Today I have the pleasure to share with you the first look I imagined for the Navabi website.

Big news : this multi-brand website has chosen me to join the Style Council which is gathering together several international bloggers and I’m really glad and flattered to be one of them.

Thanks to this Style Council, you’ll be able to see different profiles, outfit ideas, tips, but also a shopping selection made by the bloggers you like.

I personally completely fell for this fake leopard fur coat, I’ve been looking for one for a long time. It’s not easy to find the nice pattern and a fabric that doesn’t look too cheap. This one is really great, the color of the coat is light, and one killing detail : the leather braid all the way along the length.

Underneath, I chose a quite sober outfit to make my coat pop and have a kind of rock&folk look thanks to my big hat.

As a finish touch on this silhouette, I chose my new shiny Boden loafers. They bring out the shades of the coat.

Come and see my first selection HERE on Navabi and discover the Style Council and its members HERE.

Have a good visit !
