THE PARFUM MENU - A VALENTINES DAY LUNCH WITH THE 7 VIRTUES


Everything has a story and this in particular comes with a nice one. Unlike charities, The 7 Virtues means business. Barb Stegemann doesn't play the good Samaritan by giving charitable donations at the end of the day to a country like Afghanistan. The 7 Virtues targets the root of such a nations' problem. Barb Stegemann fuels business.
Her honest approach is quite inspirational.
She creates business beneficial for both ends focusing on using ingredients from rebuilding nations like Afghanistan, Haiti, The Middle East and soon Rwanda by forming local jobs as those for Afghan farmers of the orange blossom plantations while keeping them of illegal opium plantations who in return supply her with the afghanistan orange blossom, inevitable and vital for the creation of her parfum. And we as end consumers get high quality parfumes to shop.
This is how a single purchase of a parfum can keep someone of an illegal plantation and change a man's life on the other side of the globe. To be honest this is the first time I truly feel business can happen on an equal win-win basis without exploiting the other party.

FIRST BEAUTY BLOGGER CAFE



Okay so when I said "This is the last post from my event filled week just before L.A." in my last post, I had clearly forgotten that the very first Beauty Blogger Cafe took place just a day after the Pull&Bear and Forever 21 Openings. With my new found desire to express my love for all things fancy schmancy beauty wise, the Beauty Blogger Cafe couldn't have been timed any better.

THE NELLY HIGH HEELS TOUR + GIVEAWAY (CLOSED)



This is the last post from my event filled week right before my L.A. trip. But I also have a surprise for you guys, so keep reading!
Okay so after seeing videos from previous Nelly High Heels Tour parties that are such a huge success especially in Skandinavia plus my missed chance to visit the first German Nelly High Heels Tour, I was all the more excited to visit this time. The Nelly High Heels Tour took place at my favourite club in town: Asphalt. Surrounded by shoes shoes and more shoes every girl and high heel lover was pretty much in heaven.

GALERIE LAFAYETTE FASHION SHOW PRINTEMPS / ÉTÉ 2013



I never told you about my very first night a Lafayette. It was pretty magical and ever since then the Galerie Lafayette holds a special place in my memory. Maybe one day I'll come around and talk to you about it, but unfortunately my friend deleted all the pictures from that night.
Anyway about 3 weeks ago Galerie Lafayette invited me for their Printemps/ Été 2013 fashion show inside the Galerie Lafayette. It was a great show and it amazes me every time how such a department store can turn into such a fascinating location for a runway.
