Happy Friday everyone, In today's Food Friday I am sharing my wonderful Alpine lunch at the Boundary rooftop restaurant. I was ever so lucky to try out their lunch menu and it was so yummy. I miss French food so much since I left my country so it's always extra special to eat a typical French meal once in a while. We had mulled wine to start our meal which warmed us up (although it was sunny that day and we were so lucky to be warm on the rooftop) We were real kings around the table, the service was…
Coco
Do you have a favourite beauty brand? or a favourite brand in general that does beauty and clothing etc? I have loved Chanel ever since I was a little girl, I think being French it's such a classic brand, iconic really. I love their perfumes, the hubby bought me N5 a few years ago and said 'every women should own a Number 5' my all time favourite though has to be Chance, it's so perfect for spring summer the smell of fresh air and flowers is perfection. I love their makeup range, I switch a lot being a blogger I…
Khaki
A little Monday inspiration it's really cold here in London, I really want the temps to go up but it looks like we might even have snow this week … LFW starts this week and it looks like we are going to be under the rain every single day. I am quite busy and tired at the moment so I am not going to run around like crazy this week but I will definitely share FW outfits and some catwalks and more with you so stay tuned on Instagram and Snapchat (@sylviassparkles) I really love these khaki denim from Zara,…
Happy Valentine’s day
Happy Valentine's day everyone, No matter if you have someone special in your life or not, spread the love today and every other day. Valentine's day is a sweet day but it doesn't mean you should show your love on this specific day only. I like getting a dozen red roses and a little card but for me it's not the most important day. Be happy and spread love all day everyday. Happy Sunday everyone love you all xo S.
Winter whites
A quick hello to share a winter white outfit under £30, I love to wear designer brands but sometimes it's super nice to mix and match or even just wear head to toe affordable fashion! I bought this white silky blouse from Esprit at 29.99 ages ago and they have many more looks like that for spring, I love Esprit for a lot of staples like tops and jumpers. (find some alternatives under as well) This skirt is so cute and I got it from …. Tesco (F&F) it was so cheap and it's super soft and very chic for…
French pharmacy
I have been wanting to share my favourite French pharmacy finds with you for a while just never took the time to do it. I love to try out new products wether they are from top ends, high street or also from pharmacy. In the UK you find everything in a pharmacy i.e Boots beauty things as well as food … I love to stop at a phamarcie when I am back home in France or on occasional trip to Paris because it's smaller and more specific. You can find good quality products and you know they are what your…
Food Friday
Good morning girls (and guys sorry) It's Friday finally, I am all packed and ready to spend the weekend away from the city. I love weekends outside of the city it makes me miss it so much so I am super happy to come back on Sundays. Food Friday has arrived and I am sharing something super easy and simple but so tasty, I love pasta and if I have meetings in the afternoons it really gives me energy to last all afternoon because on the contrary to what people say L. must not be fully British because we eat around…
Early spring favourites
As a blogger I sometimes find it hard to know when you transition the seasons on the website? I am now working with brands who want to show their Spring Summer collection and as much as I want to and dream of sunny days it's still super cold here in London and it's hard to know when to transition. I am slowly preparing my spring and summer wardrobe, I have added a few pieces (pinks and blues as per usual) and also a bag or two. I am super excited when it comes to clear my closet and refresh it…
Notting Hill blues
Notting Hill is one of my favourite place in West London, my favourite walking place if I can call it like that, I love to get lost in the neighbourhood and explore the beautiful streets with coloured homes. I found this one recently and thought it was such a beautiful shade of blue … thinking I could use this blue in my home too to be honest. I bought this dress before the new year but I really love the look of it, it's quite smart-ish and perfect for summer evening! It's a Forever 21 under £20 and I think…
Cupcake heaven
Is there anything better than cupcakes? It's something I never really used to fancy back in France but the Brits have a habit of making me crave things I have never dreamed off before. I have known about Peggy Porschen for years but for some reason it's a place that has been on my list and stayed on my list … you know that list you have when you live in a big city of about a million things to do … it's really more like a bucket list really. We finally made it a few weekends ago and stopped…
