Louis Vuitton Coussin bag
With it’s 5 color option LV Coussin bag is definitely the most warn designer bag of the season.

The minimalistic design of this one makes it surely timeless, which was probably also translated into the campaign as many influencers posted pictures with Cleo bag in black and white instead of regular colors.

Interview with Vanessa Hong

Hmmmm. Maybe a Celine piece I’ve waited for something special to wear to. Definitely want to make a splash to celebrate this when it’s all over.

I discovered Vanessa many years ago. Back then, no one used the term “influencer” and Vanessa ran her own blog names Haute Pursuit. Her website was a home to the inspiring outfits, New York City lifestyle and exquisite blogging skills. She is one of the few original fashion bloggers who created a new niche in the fashion industry and established new types of partnerships in it. She constantly collaborates with brands such as Chanel, Bottega Veneta and Prada and also hosts a podcast channel VanessaWantsToKnow.
Vanessa has served as an inspiration for my blogs in the past. Today I am happy to share our interview and introduce her firsthand. So let’s dive right in!

Unfortunately, we are all going through a very difficult situation with COVID-19 and lockdowns all around the world. Could you share your personal experience, including the biggest challenges and/or tips?

It’s definitely been strange living in NY, one of the busiest cities in the world & have it be still and quiet except for sirens. The lockdown has really helped me see what is important to me in my personal and work life. Hopefully people have enjoyed all the IG Lives, IG TVs and feed content I’ve created during this time. It’s come from a place of curiosity, expansion and wanting to help in whatever way I can.

My yoga community has been so important during this time. I do class every day and have tried to be consistent with my meditation practice. Slowing down in general, spending less time on my phone and reading more books has also really nourished me.

Everyone following you can tell that along with the exquisite style you also bring spirituality and consciousness to the table. How well do you think the brands are responding to the challenges of sustainability of the planet?

To be honest, I want to be more optimistic about the industry as a whole, but sustainability and the fashion industry are ideologically, diametrically opposed. The onus on fashion brands is to create new seasons, make more clothes, add to what has been made already. I love fashion, I consume fashion myself and this is a realization that is very hard to stomach.

Hopefully one of the outcomes of this global event is a real, intentional review of how we do business in fashion.

Being an influencer you probably have a large wardrobe. With the items you have accumulated, (including the gifts from the brands) is there any method/rule you approach to keep your wardrobe mindful?

One of the ways I’ve tried to counteract this is not accepting gifts but rather working with brands on a sample loan basis. So this means I’ll borrow a piece from the runway or studio, shoot it, and then return the garments. When I am gifted (and this too happens) I give most of it away. When I started my career in fashion, I had limited funds and could not afford many of the things I wanted. So i know the value of receiving a gift, no strings attached – and I try to do this as often as possible.

What are your thoughts about vintage and second hand shopping? If positive, what are your favorite destinations online and offline?

For me, I like to collect old Celine pieces from Phoebe Philo’s era. I find those on Vestaire and The Real Real. Alternatively, I love going to vintage stores in Europe, i feel the curation and quality is so much better. One of my favorite people and stores is in Copenhagen, a placed called ‘Paloma’s vintage’

Is there an outfit or just an item you can’t wait to wear once this pandemic is over?

Hmmmm. Maybe a Celine piece I’ve waited for something special to wear to. Definitely want to make a splash to celebrate this when it’s all over.

Vanessa, can you share 3 influencers that inspire you?

my friend and a mentor @therealphilliplim (Phillip has the best cooking stories and his content is like a breath of fresh air just like him)

food stylist @lailacooks (I love Laila’s approach to food. It’s artistic, funny & very educational)

my facialist @joannaczechofficial (Joanna is one of the funniest people I know and she’s been doing faces for 20+ years and has so many great tips)

You created a great platform, especially for this particular situation. Is there anything additional project/idea you can share for our readers to look forward?

Yes, you can look forward to weekly podcasts from VanessaWantsToKnow. We’ll be having fun, uplifting conversations with all sorts of people from the Creative world. Definitely a must listen.

მიკრო-ტრენდი: დიდი საყელო

პოპულარობით ეს ტრენდი ისეთ ინფლუენსერებს შორისაც სარგებლობს, როგორებიც არიან პერნილე ტაისბეკი (ბლოგერი და Social Zoo-ს დამფუძნებელი) და ლეანდრა კოჰენი Man Repeller-ის დამფუძნებელი).

მოდური ტრენდების ნაირსახეობა ყოველ სეზონზე მატულობს, რაც მოდის მოყვარულებისთვის როგორც საინტერესო, ისევე დამაბნეველი შეიძლება იყოს. არის ტრენდები, რომლებიც რეალურ ცხოვრებაში კონკრეტულ ამინდს, შესაბამის ფიგურას ან სიტუაციას მოითხოვენ, თუმცა მინდა მოგიყვეთ იმ მიკრო-ტრენდზე, რომელიც თქვენს ყოველდღიურ გარდერობს მარტივად მოერგება.

დიდი (oversized) საყელოების მრავალფეროვნებას უამრავი ბრენდი გვთავაზობს, თუმცა ისინი სტილისტურად განსხვავდება. მაგალითად, GUCCI-მ 70-იანიების წაწვეტებული პერანგის საყელო გამოიყენა, ჩვენ კი მაქმანებიან, ვინტაჟური სტილის საყელოზე ვისაუბრებთ, რომელიც Chanel-მა ბოლო Haut Couture-ის ჩვენებაზე არაერთ ლუქში გამოიყენა. მსგავსი საყელოთი ცნობილია სკანდინავიური ბრენდი GANNI-ც, რომელიც ბოლო წლებია დიდი პოპულარობით სარგებლობს. პოპულარობით ეს ტრენდი ისეთ ინფლუენსერებს შორისაც სარგებლობს, როგორებიც არიან პერნილე ტაისბეკი (ბლოგერი და Social Zoo-ს დამფუძნებელი) და ლეანდრა კოჰენი Man Repeller-ის დამფუძნებელი).

როგორ მოვირგოთ ეს მიკრო-ტრენდი?

თუ ფიქრობ, როგორ მოირგო დიდი საყელო ისე, რომ არ გამოიყურებოდე როგორც სკოლის პირველ დღეს, ეს რჩევები ჩემგან:
– ბევრი არ იფიქრო, შენი საყვარელი ჯინსი და კედი ძალიან მოუხდება დიდ საყელოიან ზედას.
– დააბალანსე ეს ნაზი დეტალი შედარებით უხეში ელემენტებით. მაგალითად, სპორტული ან მამაკაცის სტილის შარვლით..
– არ შეუშინდე მსგავს ზედაზე შენი საყვარელი ნაქსოვი სვიტერის ზევიდან ჩაცმას. მთავარია სვიტერის ყელი ისე ჯდებოდეს, რომ მისი ამოტანიება მარტივად შეიძლებოდეს.
– კაბა, რომელსაც მსგავსი საყელო აქვს შეგიძლია რაიმე ტრენდულ ქალურ ფეხსაცმელთან, ან უბრალოდ ბოტასთან ერთად ჩაიცვა.
– არ შუეშინდე აქსესუარებს.

ზოგი ბრენდი საყელოს, როგორც დამოუკიდებელ აქსესუარს გვთავაზობს, რაც მის მორგებას გარდერობში არსებულ ტანსაცმელთან საკმაოდ ამარტივებს. თანაც, ჩვენივე გემოვნებით!

We are facing a disturbing reality connected with COVID-19 in Georgia and around the world. It is our duty to follow the restrictions from our doctors and state authorities but, every once in a while, we all need destruction from the stressful info to more lightheaded one, especially in the times of lockdown.

5-Product Summer Makeup Look

Dear friends, here we are! Long awaited summer days, with everything light and bright, have finally arrived. While we get some natural advantages, such as Sun-kisses skin, there is also the heat part that might get really uncomfortable sometimes. And just like we adjust our wardrobes, I believe the makeup routine needs to be adjusted as well.

Regardless of the season I usually opt for the makeup that looks natural and depending on the mood focus on lips or a settle eye. However, when the temperature gets high the light-weight-feeling of makeup becomes just as important as the visual. Therefore, I decided to share 5 of my favorite products for this season and a total everyday look I pull off using only these products.

This Estee Lauder CC cream is probably one of my favorite products of ALL seasons. But the reason I recommend it in summer is because of it’s light feeling. I totally replace any foundation with this cream and while it doesn’t have a strong coverage, it evens out the color on the entire face and with the summer tan it is all I really need. This CC cream gives your skin a natural, healthy glow and even tone which last long hours and contains SPF15 to protect your skin. I feel my skin breath and glow at the same time!

When it comes to brows this tiny Givenchy guy is always by my side. I don’t use pencils or shadows to fill in my brows so this one product does it all for me. It is a brush with tinted gel (I use N1 Brunette), which gives brows the shape and fills in the emptiness with tint. This product is waterproof which is great for summer! Easy and effective – is how I would describe it.

I rarely go for a dramatic eye in Summer but if you are this eye pencil is definitely a keeper. I use this perfectly waterproof black pencil on my lush-line. I try to make as this and invisible as possible but the whole purpose is the casually definition of my eye shape and visual thickness of lushes. If you are looking for a good quality pencil this is the one I recommend. It applies very softly, easily, is water proof and comes with YSL customized sharpener, which is always handy!

Then I move on to my lashes. Here I use this Diorshow waterproof mascara. I also use it in black and love it for the volume effect. To me this is a very simple, great quality mascara, which wouldn’t move from lashes and is always handy to have in bag!

And last but not least is this baby! There so many great things to say about this duo stick! Firstly, it comes in 2 colors (see options here) and you can use both colors multiple ways. In this look I only used the red side as a lipstick but you can also use it as a blush and I even used it as a pink “wet” eyeshadow. It’s just a great product to have in bag to quickly change your look and add a little extra detail to your makeup. Never the less, I show say how moisturizing is this stick, like a balm.

As you can see all these products are summer-approved, either for their waterproof features, or lightness and brightness. I chose to focus on these 5 products as they complete the simply makeup look, when you are rushing out for a long day and I don’t need any extra brushes or applicators which makes the process super fast and simple!
