This city guide to Corsica is very close to my heart because, I mean, as you may already know, Corsica is the place where I was born.

So I asked my sister Laetitia to do it. Actually, we kind of did this as a family thing because I couldn’t help but toss in my two cents, as you’ll see. When you see anything [in brackets], that’s me.

What I’m going for with my City Guides is to do something different than any other guides by asking friends who live in a given place about what they do with their daily lives. So they’re always very personal and never meant to cover the whole spectrum, but it’s all tested and approved and feel free to say hello from us (well, almost everywhere ;-)

I receive e-mails all the time asking me where to go on my native island and I’m getting the impression that Corsica is getting a lot of love right now, which is awesome because I’m really, really, terribly proud of my homeland! Okay, let’s get started.

Ahhhh the bun!!

As you know, in my past hair life I was totally a top knot girl. But there is something about the low chignon that I also really love. It feels really soft and chic.
In my new cropped hair life, I’m trying to be bun free, but sometimes I really can’t resist….

How about you? Low knot or top knot?

This Or That: Low Knot or Top Knot

Can we talk about this trend for a sec? This trend I was sure I would never see again? Since it died in the 90s? Where already my dream body (or let’s call it my teenage hormonal explosion) had prevented me from even caressing the dream of one day being able to proudly wear my navel in the middle of street.

I could have done a post to say something like “It’s magazine fashion only! You’ll never see it on the street!”
But that wouldn’t be true at all! All it takes is three minutes of warm air and suddenly you’ve got crop tops popping everywhere you look.

Shine Control

In the summer, my skin gets shiny. Pfffffff… It’s taken some time to finally come to terms with the fact that there’s no miracle solution to have matte skin when it’s 200 degrees, but I’ve always found that...
