What I Loved Last Week

Hi everyone! Lisa here!

I love this type of article, and I thought… what if I shared everything that I loved from last week?

Fashion, beauty, little moments, places I discovered, things I’m currently obsessed with… basically a little recap of everything that made me happy.

Let me know if you like these types of articles because I would love to make them a regular thing :)

I know it might sound silly to some people, but I truly know I’m going to have a good day when I love what I’m wearing. There is just something about putting on an outfit that gives you confidence and changes your energy.

Of course, I also have those days where I stand in front of my wardrobe and feel like I have nothing to wear. Everything feels old, like I’ve worn it 100 times, and nothing feels exciting. But then there are days where I find a new way to style an old piece, and suddenly I feel inspired again.

The highlight outfit of this week was this look I wore for a little sister date during the day. It wasn’t too hot in Paris, so I could wear my favorite jeans. I paired them with my Twinflame top, my new Mango sandals, and my birthday gift bag.

I’m going to be honest… when Paris gets extremely hot, I sometimes run out of ideas for activities. Last weekend, I had a little free time on my own and decided to take myself on a little solo date to an exhibition I had been wanting to see. I went to the Pomellato exhibition at Palais de Tokyo, and it was actually free, which made it even better.

I loved learning more about this Italian luxury jewelry brand and seeing the beautiful Helmut Newton photographs included in the exhibition. The exhibition was quite short (I honestly wish there was more!), but for something free in Paris, I thought it was nice.

Another exhibition currently on my list is the Versace exhibition about the Gianni Versace era. I already know I’m going to love it.

This week I was invited to a lunch event with the brand Marella at Hôtel Particulier Montmartre. I hadn’t been there in years, and it honestly made me rediscover this little hidden gem in Paris.

It’s a hotel tucked away in Montmartre with the prettiest garden. You can go there for lunch or dinner, and it feels like you’ve escaped the city even though you’re right in Paris. It’s peaceful, romantic, in my opinion, it would be perfect for a date… or even a long lunch with the girls.

Definitely adding it back to my Paris recommendations list.

My Current Fashion Obsession: Crochet Dresses

I don’t know what it is, but I am currently obsessed with crochet dresses.

You know those dresses that look like they were made from your grandmother’s tablecloth? Somehow, they are everywhere right now, and I love them. There’s this girl on TikTok who creates the most incredible dresses from vintage tablecloths, and I find the whole process so cool.

I have been saving so many crochet pieces and dresses on Pinterest.

I haven’t shared my wishlist in a while, so here are some pieces that have really caught my eye recently.

The dress I already bought (oops)

This one isn’t really a wishlist item anymore because I bought it yesterday and I’m currently waiting for the package to arrive. I think this dress is so me. You know I love pieces that I can rewear a million times, so I always think about how many outfits I can create with something before buying it. I can already imagine this as a summer city look with sandals, but also a date night outfit with my blue Aquazzura heels (if you know, you know).

I can’t wait to try it on.

The Rat & Boa dress

At this point, I think I’m collecting Rat & Boa dresses haha. They are just the perfect summer dresses in my opinion. I never get tired of them.

I already own this exact style in red and I love it, but they recently released it in this black and white print, and I think it would be perfect for a hot summer day or a summer night. The only problem is that my size (xxs) is currently sold out.

A Jacquemus dress

I was browsing the Jacquemus sale section and couldn’t really find anything… but somehow something from the new collection caught my eye. There was a style of dress they released in summer 2024 that I loved. I tried it on at the time, but I had just finished my treatment and felt very puffy, so even though I loved the dress, I didn’t love how it looked on me. But that dress stayed in my mind. Now they came out with a similar version in the most beautiful green color, and I love it.

The fact that it’s a bodysuit dress makes me think it would be so flattering.

Imagine this:
The dress + my Alaïa bag + my Mango sandals + cute earrings. I can already see the outfit.

The “Glass Skin” Sheet Mask

A friend of mine gifted me the L’Oréal 90-minute sheet mask, and I am so happy she did. It’s supposed to give you that glass skin effect and reminds me of the famous Biodance masks that I love. The only difference is that Biodance masks need to stay on for hours, whereas this one is much quicker.

I put it on one Sunday morning while staying in bed, and honestly… my skin looked so good after. It really gave me that glowing, glass skin effect. Definitely going to buy more.

Thank you Nadia for the find!!

My sister always says my toxic trait is that whenever I see something handmade, I immediately think: “I could totally make that myself.”

Pottery? I can do it.
Painting? I can do it.
Making accessories? Obviously, I can do it haha.

I used to be such a creative child and loved making things with my hands, but I sadly don’t really do that anymore. So here is the project I want to start: I want to make my own little pouch bag. You know those cute handmade pouches that are everywhere right now? I have saved so many on Pinterest that I genuinely think I could create my own version.

I’m going to film the process for my YouTube channel, so we will see if the idea in my head actually translates into reality :)

Bisous, Bisous
