Styloïde: a genius ideia

Published by cibelemaciet

A few weeks ago I went to visit Vanrycke Paris‘s showroom on Place Vendôme, created by Parisian jewelry designer Lise Ferreira (which has Portuguese ancestry, as you guys can see in her name!). A sympathetic and creative person with a nose for what is modern, comfortable and usable in terms of jewelry today. For her, the jewelry has to be light, almost imperceptible in the woman’s body. And yet elegant, fine, creative.  I like the concept and quality of Lise’s pieces, everything is extremely thin, with graceful undulations. One of my favorites is the Coachella (and I have it, yay!), these earrings that makes a crazy success here in Paris. From the red carpet we can see that her pieces have already been adopted by many celebs as Laetitia Casta, Bella Hadid, Marion Cotillard, Jessica Alba (who wears her Coachella all the time!), and outside red carpets, Garance Doré and at last but not the least Beyoncé! A real success! I went to her showroom to know this year’s big news: the Styloïde, a bracelet in …

How well do you know Omega?

Published by cibelemaciet

As many of you may already know, Omega is the official timekeeper of the Summer Olympic Games Rio 2016 (in fact, the brand has been doing this for exactly 84 years!). Thus, the brand times no less than 28 summer sports modalities and seven winter sports, not to mention the Paralympic Games and Youth Olympic Games. But, well why am I talking about this? Because Omega surprised me since I approached them due a partnership with the blog. And why? Because I used to have in mind a sport and men’s image brand and it is not so (or at least is not only that): they have an incredible jewelry line, female gorgeous and super feminine watches (also has for those who prefer something more sporty!), a wonderful social project called Orbis (in which they sponsor the project Orbis International and its Flying Eye hospital, who travels the world helping people with eye problems), and above all, a nice social work they are developing with associations in Rio because of the OG, the #OmegaViva Rio (which …

Do you remember that I told you (and made a long mystery after) about the new color of my hair? Well, now I can tell you all! The article I wrote for Harper’s Bazaar Brazil tells everything, and you can read it  now (click here). It is in Portuguese, sorry english speakers! The author of my change is Frédéric Mennetrier from L’Atelier Blanc (the same hairstylist that has transformed Kim Kardashian in blonde, wow!). He is a top colorist, friendly and a very charismatic person. I hope you enjoy the reading! Em Português!

A gourmet Italian night at Caffé Artcurial

Published by cibelemaciet

I love testing restaurants with friends, there is always a lot of talk, exchanging ideas on food and drinks (and sometimes even on waiters!), desserts, décor, we talk and enjoy it all. The last testing was the Caffé Artcurial – inside Artcurial’s, traditional gallery and auction room in Paris, located in the Golden Triangle of Champs Elysées with Avenue Montaigne, with my beloved fellows Luciana and Caroline. The caffé, which follows the Italian line – cicchetti, antipasti, first course, second course – has just launched a brand new spring menu, which is just so good!   We started with the famous aperitif, with the options spritz or champagne, and guess what was our choice? Very divided! Two champagnes and one spritz for Carol, cos’ she was a little bick sick…Well, going back to the point, we’ve had also: bufallo muzzarella, charcuteries, salami, cerise tomatoes. To celebrate the lauching of the new menu, the journalists had the opportunity to taste a Sassontino 2014, simplement une tuerie, as we say in french! As a follow up, bouchées à la …

Published by cibelemaciet

I was invited to test a new beauty service in Paris: Treatwell, a booking site that gathers all the salons and beauty centers, spas and hairdressers in Paris, so you can reserve your beauty treatment anyday and anytime you want .

Brasserie Thoumieux, c’est tout mieux!

Published by cibelemaciet

I visited Hôtel Thoumieux‘s brasserie last Sunday, I was in the mood since a long time to try their brunch. For those who do not know, the chef des lieux, Sylvestre Wahid, has two macarons in Michelin’s guide. Firstly, the place has a real Parisian allure: it is an old restaurant back to 1923 Belle Epoque, now under the command of the famous Costes brothers. Modern, the décor is all about Paris in the roaring amid emerald green gooseneck lamps, the red velvet banquette, mirrors, mirrored columns, ball shaped chanderliers. Snuggly, it is true, but that’s also what makes the charm of the place. If you close your eyes, you are back  to these Années Folles, with actresses, singers, artists, bohemians dancing on the tables, singing and drinking. Attention, the logo of the hotel / restô / brasserie was made by the duo M / M. Impossible to be more branché as a place. The brunch is simply « no comments »: they have simply the bread and rillettes of Meilleurs Ouvriers de France, the desserts from …

Coup de foudre: Le Bazar Exquis

Published by cibelemaciet

The other day I went to visit Le Bazar Exquis store created by designer Victoria de Bouchony  in 9ème arrondissement of Paris. Starting with the lovely décor, full of vintage furniture including a former pharmacist dresser that I love – great lighting, everything is calculated and decorated with love by Victoria. She is graduated in Graphic Arts and created this adorable space to sell her creations – that go from jewelry, cashmere scarves, handbags made in France with Italian leather and even design shape lamps. What delight is it to have a coffee with Victoria and get to know her jewelry line, a real coup de foudre. Highlights in these beautiful rings that are used in mix and match and accumulation, aren’t they lovely? She also sells online here, it’s worth a look here.   Em Português: Outro dia fui conhecer a loja Le Bazar Exquis da designer Victoria de Bouchony, no 9ème arrondissement de Paris. A começar pelo décor, cheio de moveis vintage inclusive uma cômoda antiga de farmacêutico que eu amo – iluminação ótima, …

#PFW: second and last chapter

Published by cibelemaciet

Dear readers, I know I took so long to write this second post with my summary of the fashion week in Paris, and I apologize in advance! But it is never too late to talk about fashion and its good discoveries, shall we start?   March 5th – Saturday I started the day by going to one of the places I like most during #pfw: ShopsStyle Social House, the charming apartment dedicated to bloggers and journalists. It is nothing more than a place dedicated to meetings and lectures on fashion and business community, and above all, a beauty salon with manicures, hair stylists and even a driver to take you up and down during the fashion week marathon. In this edition, I took place at the streetstyle shooting of The Styleograph (you can see it here). The ShopsStyle team is formed by young and cool people based in London and is always very nice to meet the girls. I took the opportunity to try a head dressing by 365c and a manicure from Mavala.  Then …

Un jour un regard: an eyebrow matter

Published by cibelemaciet

Since I moved to Paris – seven years ago, jeeze time flies, I just can’t believe it! – I began to do my eyebrows myself. Matter of practicality, lifestyle, and, last but not least, the price, because, let’s face it, Paris is very expensive when it comes to beauty services! And the simple fact that in Brazil is easier to go to the salon and ask for  beauty services: cultural issue or not, there are excelent beauty professionals everywhere, either to do manicure or pedicure, waxing, hairdressind, at very good prices. Paris is not quite, but this is talk for another post! Well, anyway, I was doing my eyebrows all alone until I found a place called Un jour un regard, a sort of specialized center in look, with highlighting eyebrows and eyelashes sessions, permanent makeup, waxing, manicures …. thing that usually is found not in Paris, remember what I’ve said before?… Normally, a hair salon is just that, and nothing else (with exceptions, of course!). Sabrina, the owner of the salon, specialized in look, …
