Hello Guys,
I hope you are well and enjoying your summer! I know its been 3 weeks since I posted my last post on the blog, but I always keep you updated through my IG!This period, even if I am busy because of an upcoming project, which I will be able to announce you very soon, I finally took some days off and I spend some summer days in Greece! However, as you've also seen on my IG, last week a travel for 2 days in Milan, because I had some meetings there, and of course because Milan is always a good idea!
Likewise, as most of you during the summer, I am so excited when I am able to visit some summer festivals! Switzerland is worldwide famous for its summer festival, and of course, I was so happy when I receive the invitation from M·A·C cosmetics to be with them for a weekend at Montreux Jazz Festival 2018! Since many years M·A·C is the official Make-up supplier of the Festival !
It was the first time that I visited Montreux and was so impressed! For sure It is one of the best places that I've visited in Switzerland!Of course Montreux was also so amazing because of the Jazz Festival!
As Mathieu Jaton, CEO Montreux Jazz Festival, said the spirit of the Montreux Jazz Festival could be summed up in three words "Take the time!".
The Montreux Jazz Festival takes places over 2 weeks each summer in Switzerland on the shore of Lake Geneva. with ambitious programming choices and a warm welcome forged in the hospitality industry, the festival offers a haven of peace to both artists and public - time seems to stop as the most improbable encounters become reality.
The Montreux Jazz Festival was created in 1967 by Claude Nobs, Rene Langel and Geo Vourmard and has since become a landmark event! Not because it draws more than 250000 visitors, or because those two weeks in Montreux make up one of the best- known events in Europe and beyond, but rather because the Festival has kept its soul intact throughout all this growth!
While jazz and blues are the roots of this event, other styles of music quickly found their place as well, anchored by artistic encounters between generations of musicians and unique experiments. Montreux has seen historic performances by artists including Nina Simone, Miles Davis, Ella Fitzgerald, Marvin Gaye, Prince, Leonard Cohen m David Bowie and Stevie Wonder!
The weekend that I visited the Festival, were supposed to enjoy a performance of a magnetically charismatic English musician, Rory Graham aka Rag'n'Bone! Unfortunately, due to health issues, he was not able to sing.
Although, this day also we were able to enjoy Angus and Julia Stone, which they extend their performance!
Folk is a Stone family affair , carved in an exquisite softness, After their adventure in Los Angeles with prestigious U.S. producer Rick Rubin, these Australians have created an intimate project written with four hands. And it was in Switzerland, on the slopes of a snowy mountain that they came up with the premise for Snow, Back in their home country, the Stones cloistered themselves in Angus' cattle farm in the hinterlands of Byron Bay, Connected to nature, they composed the sunny melodies of Snow around a dusty organ from the 1960s that they picked up second hand, Transmitting by turns spleen and euphoria , the duo sings the poetry of Baudelaire and the Hollywood follies o the Chateau Marmont!
Of course on a trip with M·A·C, I had the opportunity to get a male grooming look by M·A·C experts and of course to have a M·A·C backstage access and visit before the show!
Thank you so much M·A·C for this so special experience and for giving me the opportunity to be there with you!

Hello guys,
I hope you are well and you are enjoying your Thursday!
Even if I am back in Zurich, my mind is still in Sicily and to all these memories that I created last week because of the 150th Anniversary of Averna!
From the first time when I received the invitation I was so sure that it will be an amazing trip! And of course it was!
As you have already seen on my IG, my trip was full of unique and fascinating experiences in Palermo, Italian Capital of Culture 2018, and its countryside. That's why today I chose to share with you all the details about my trip!
First of all, the reason for this trip, was to celebrate the 150th Anniversary of Averna. Averna is the Authentic Italian Amaro. Since 1868, Amaro Averna has represented true Sicilian craft with a story rooted in heritage and tradition. Its recipe transmits the flavors and aromas of the land it comes from and has become a staple in every Italian home, passed down from generation to generation.
In 2018, the Sicilian after-dinner amaro celebrates a new historical milestone: 150 years of conviviality and tradition, set against a backdrop of unsurpassed beauty. On this very special anniversary, they look back on Averna journey, intrinsically linked to that of Sicily!
On these days in Sicily, we had the opportunity to enjoy an exciting journey and to discover the tastes, the colors and the excellence of the Averna motherland.
Our trip started in the Sicilian countryside, discovering the roots of Averna immersed in its beautiful territory. A lemon harvest experience and a fresh lemonade was the best start for our trip!
The lemon harvest was followed by a ‘Festa Siciliana’ in a characteristic Sicilian villa, where Piero Fici - the Averna’s Master Blender – introduced us the right way to enjoy our favorite Averna ! Of course on a night 'Fiesta Siciliana' couldn't be without amazing Italian food with homemade past and of course accompanied by lively music!
Our journey continued with 'Carattere Siciliano' , four unique and so Sicilian experiences and encounters throughout Palermo guided by true Sicilians. It was a morning full of tastes, flavors and voices of this stunning land, discovering the ancient and contemporary Sicilian identity.
Our morning started with an authentic Italian breakfast made by one of the most acclaimed and Sicilian chefs in Italy and Europe, Palermo-born Filippo La Mantia! Then we had the opportunity to walk with him around the Ballaro Market, and feel the real Palermo vibes and of course to taste Sicilian steet food!
Our next stop was at one of the oldest and best Botanical Garden in the world, which is in the center of Palermo! Our host there was the Perfume Maker Meo Fuscini . The scents and aromas of the Mediterranean are never far away from Perfume Maker Meo Fuscini’s creations. Growing up in a coastal village in rural Sicily, his love of organic sensations led him to dedicate his life to translating his olfactory memory into poetic fragrances!
After our tour at the garden, traditional small Sicilian cars waiting for us , for a real tour around the city!
After our lunch, we had the opportunity to enjoy the Italian sun and the pool of our hotel, and tp get some rest before the Anniversary Dinner!
The dresscode of the dinner was elegant attire with a Sicilian Twist.That phrase can describe exaclty that night in the old cathedral in the heart of Palermo!Everything was so elegant with spots of Sicilian Twists! I think you can easily undestand it when you will see the photos of the set of thi dinner!
Being Sicilian is not just heritage, it’s a way of life. Thank you so much Averna that you gave me the opportunity to feel that way of life, with you in Sicily. I really can't wait to be there again!
Hello Guys,
I hope you are well and enjoying your sunny days!As you 've already seen on my IG stories, this period I am busy but also I am super excited because I am able to attend some press trips and some so unique events, and I am here in order to share with you all of my experiences!
Today, I am going to share with you everything about a super amazing and exclusive event that I attended last week in Verona, the Calzedonia Summer Show 2018!
It was an amazing day trip in Verona with Calzedonia full of surprises!
Our first stop were the headquarters of the brand, where we had the opportunity to see the colors, the materials and the patterns of the new collection.The HQ had transformed to a so stylish, special and fancy place in order to show the new collection!
After our first presentation of the new summer collection, of course, it was time for lunch, and what be better than an Italian restaurant just in the heart of the old town of Verona!Then ,it was time for an espresso and ice cream and a great walk around the colorful streets of the old town of the city,until the big moment of the day, the Calzedonia Summer Show 2018!
Calzedonia launches the season with impressive swimwear, bringing us the summer in a "BOX". Special effects put us directly into a so summer mood and all of us were thinking of sunbathing, beach and holidays.
C alzedonia presents colorful floral patterns with small exotic animals full of "aloha vibes" refer to the Caribbean. The whole summer collection is full of floral slivers and slides with romantic look.
It was also for the first time that Calzedonia launches the velvet in swimsuits with very fashionable designs in selected colors. The shiny and soft texture of this particular fabric makes it tempting for stylish and trendy looks while being ideal for both the sea and the pool.
It was an amazing experience and I am really looking forward for the next one with Calzedonia!
Hello Guys,
I hope you are well and enjoyed your sunny weekend! This weekend I went to Bern, where I had the opportunity to spend great time with my friends, under the amazing sun!
As you've already seen and understood through my IG, this period, is full of trips and I am really excited and thankful because of our blog, I have the opportunity to travel and live so amazing experiences!
Today, I want to share with you one of the most exciting trips that I did some weeks ago, with my favorite brand of Acqua di Parma!
Of course, you know that I am a huge fan of the brand, and I think that Acqua di Parma, fits perfectly with all of these things that I want to share throught Cameonistas!
(See here one of my previous posts with Acqua di Parma)
Everytime that I get an invitation for an event in Switzerland, or a box in my house or of course for a press trip in Italy , I am so excited because I know in advance , that for sure it will be something so elegant and special!
So this has also happened when I get the invitation, of the presentation of the new fragrance of Blu Mediterraneo collection, Chinotto di Liguria, in Milan!
Once again, Acqua di Parma managed to organize a memorable event. From the first minute when we arrived at the event hall, you had the feeling that you was in a plazza in Linguria.
That night, you had the feeling of the heritage of Italian lightness, style, and fine craftsmanship. That concept was completed through those golden moments that meld the sea and sun along the Italian Mediterranean coast!
Through all of the smells, the tastes and the decoration you were able to discover and unlock the wellspring of life, and of course Blu Mediterraneo is the way of sharing this feeling with the world.
This vibrant youthful energy can now be experienced in the new Blu Mediterraneo fragrance from Acqua di Parma , Chinotto di Liguria!
A so refreshing and lively scent inspired by a unique land of contrasts, Chinoto (one the rarest and most precious citrus fruit of Italy), Jasmine and Geranium and is refreshed by the energetic notes of Rosemary and Cardamom!Patchouli and Musk also evoke the silence and peace of an untouched nature for a pure moment of wellbeing!
My trip to Milan couldn't be finished whithout a visit to the amazing boutique of Acqua di Parma in Montenapoleone, where I was able to learn more about the new fragrance and of course to see some so exclusive items of my favorite brand!
Thank you once again Acqua di Parma, and I really can't wait for the next experience with you!
Hello Guys,
I hope you are well and you had an amazing spring weekend! Me, as you've already seen on my IG posts and stories , last weekend I was in Basel, one more year for Baselworld 2018!Even if Baselworld is not yet finished, as last day of Baselworld is tomorrow Tuesday, because of some meetings today, I couldn't stay more . So, today I am here to share with you what I saw in Baselworld 2018!
You know, I am big fun of watches and I really believe that the right watch could complete our outfit. Even if it is a daily outfit, a sporty or of course a formal outfit! I am so into to the watches, and I really like that huge events, where everyone of us has the opportunity to see live some of the latest products of the brands and also to see some not so usual happenings, as the amazing "Match of Friendship" at Hublot press event, and of course the celebration of the TAG Heuer partnership with China Aerospace Industry!
With 85 days before the first match of the 2018 FIFA World Cup ™, Hublot brought the friends of football and football together! This "Match of Friensip" was between 2 that have never been this before!
Hublot has invited Usain Bolt to his first football match, in line with the "Be First, Be Unique, Be Different philosophy". The international sprint icon , is also an avid football fan and was able to use his talent in the team of José Mourinh!
On the other half of the field: Diegeo Maradona and his team. Referee of the match was Nicola Rizzoli with his Hublot Smart Watch, the Big Bang Referee 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia. There are sporting moments that become part of eternity. Hublot knows how to create such moments like no other!
Nothing was missing: the 4th referee's shield, the official mascot of the FIFA World Cup Russia 2018TM, Zabivaka, and the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia Big Bang referee, who proved their skills right after their revelation.
On the wrist of international referee Nicola Rizzoli, thanks to Hublot's intelligent technology over the clock, he was able to follow the news of Goal Line Technology, the goal line, live during the match, just like in the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia 2018TM Case will be.
At the beginning of the game, the two teams traditionally swapped their pennants according to the protocol. In addition to a ritual, this was also a symbol of a peaceful game that was under the sign of friendship. At halftime, a freestyle football presentation proved that you can do anything with a ball on your foot! The show act was by the group "Freestyle Football", consisting of 5 Polish freestylers with an impressive track record. The performance was part of their show, with which they were already on world tour.
In the end, Cuban hip-hop group Orishas fueled the crowd once again, before the Friend of the Brand, DJ Teddy-O, took over the turntables and made the entire evening all the more exuberant.Once again, Hublot proved to be a champion of football!
On the other hand, TAG Heuer on their press conference on Saturday,there was the celebration of the TAG Heuer partnership with China Aerospace Industry with a rover on the booth!
Together with China's Lunar Exploration Program (CLEP), TAG Heuer, the avant-garde Swiss watchmaker and Strategic Partner and Official Timekeeper of CLEP, held a science fair focused on aerospace during the Baselworld 2018 Show, presenting the magnificent achievements of the China’s aerospace industry to the whole world.
A lion dance show with strong traditional Chinese style wowed visitors to the science fair, where Jade Rabbit, China's first lunar rover, and Long March 5, China's large cryogenic liquid launch vehicle, were on display, attracting a lot of attention from the media and the public. Meanwhile, TAG Heuer unveiled two special edition watches specially designed to pay tribute to the China’s Lunar Exploration program. Jean-Claude Biver, President of the LVMH Watch Division and Chief Executive Officer of TAG Heuer, Andrew Wu, LVMH Group Greater China President, Mr. XuXingli, General Manager at Chang'E Aerospace Technology (Beijing) LLC, and Ms. Zuo Wei, Researcher at the National Astronomical Observatories Of China (NAOC) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and Deputy Chief Designer of CLEP Ground Application System, were all in attendance at the event!
On Staurday also, there was the unveiling of the two special edition watches proved to be another testimony to the close partnership between TAG Heuer and China's Lunar Exploration Program.
Having drawn inspiration from the dark side of the moon, the TAG Heuer Carrera Heuer 01 CLEP Special Edition is limited to 100 pieces. Everything from the strap, to the dial, the chronographs and the bezel is black, with touches of luminescent points. Its 43mm diameter black PVD steel case features an in-house TAG Heuer movement, the Heuer 01. Setting the dark grey sandblasted dial off are gold plated black indexes, minute and hour hands that are coated with superluminova® luminescent materials to improve visibility. The case-back is engraved with the words "Official CLEP Watch" and a limited serial number. This exquisite timepiece boasts a unique charm that invites its wearers to feel like they are travelling through space exploring the infinite galaxy.
The second watch is a sporty Aquaracer with Calibre 5 Automatic, designed to conquer space. It is a technical watch that features the signature codes of the Aquaracer collection. It has a 43mm diameter case and ceramic black unidirectional turning bezel that is water resistant to a depth of 300 meters.

China has been working wonders in space exploration, and TAG Heuer looks forward to joining that effort. The science fair marks an important chapter in TAG Heuer's long story with space exploration, while also interpreting the brand spirit of TAG Heuer #DontCrackUnderPressure.
I was show excited that I had the opportunity to attend these events, and I really can't wait for Baselworld 2019
Hello Guys,
I hope you are well and you are enjoying your weekend! Today it is Sunday, and I am here, enjoying my coffee in my couch and ready to share with you the 25 hours that I spent at 25hours Hotel Zurich.
As you´ve already seen on my IG,some Sundays ago, I visited and stayed at one of the two 25hours hotel that are in Zurich, the 25hours Hotel in Langstrasse, and I was super excited about that.It's only a year that it opened ,and I was so happy that I finally visited it!
As most of you know, 25hours hotel are famous for their own specific urban style and youth character,which make them some of the best city hotel worldwide.It was the second time that I visited a 25hours hotel,as last year I visited 25hours Hotel in Berlin which is also amazing!
From the first minute when I arrived,I was so impressed by the hotel design and the unique decoration. Around the place,there was a lot of different but so well matched detail,which gave to the place a stylish but also very cost character.
Based on the same style,was also the room where I stayed with an amazing view of the city.Of course I couldn't resist and take a hot shower enjoying the amazing view! And then spend some time at hotel Sauna with the amazing panorama view! The panorama extends all the way to Zürichberg and Käferberg.
Even if I was exactly in the heart of Zurich,as around the neighborhood there were a plenty of restaurants , I chose to have dinner at Nenis restaurant, which is one of the hot spots in Zurich, and of course I chose their famous Balagan! It was the first time that I had dinner like that,as Balagan is based on the preferences of the chef.He chooses a plenty of plates, and you've just have to enjoy them!
Before going to bed of course I had a enjoy one of their amazing cocktails at Chinchona bar ,at the hotel.
After an amazing sleep at a super relaxed bed, I was ready for my week!
I really like my stay at 25hours hotels Langstrasse, and I really can't wait for my next trip to a city where there is a 25hours hotel!
The Alpina Gstaad is an icon for Gstaad combining Swiss tradition and thoughtful luxury for some of the best travelled individuals in the world.

Hello Guys,
I hope you are well,and you are enjoying your week! It's Wednesday and we are exactly in the middle of our week!Today I want to share with you one of my latest additions, the famous poke bowls of the amazing ONA POKÉ.
As you've already seen on my IG , last week I had lunch at one of the coolest places in Zurich, ONA POKÉ. All of my friends, that had already visited it, they were very excited, so I really couldn't wait more to visit it! Of course I trust my friends suggestions, but I really wanted to visit and discover on my own ,why ONA POKÉ is new "talk of the town" ,and why all of that people choose it for a lunch , an aftework early dinner of even for an afterworkout lunch!Of course is a great idea also for a take away!Especially between lunch break the row is super long, and sometimes it's also out of the restaurant!
Even if it is open only a few months,ONA POKÉ has a lot of addicted fans ,like me.It serves the ideal food for an active and healthy lifestyle.
For sure, all of us remember that 3 girls on ONA POKÉ advertisements on Tram Stops, before the big opening!
First of all,the restaurant is one of the coolest and most stylish places to have your lunch. Because of the plants and the white chairs,I had the feeling that I was in a winter garden or even to an exotic place.Also the super cool lights create an amazing atmosphere ,which for sure make you feel so relax.
As for the food, I really can't describe with words.For sure you have to taste it in order to understand how delicious and healthy it is.
You could choose a normal or a big (super big!) bowl with rice, rice venere, quinoa or zucchini noodles. The main ingredient of you bowl, full of protein is the fish. You can choose betwen Salmon, Tuna, Kingfish or even Tofu for the vegan and then you have to choose between 6-7 spice or normal sauce. At the end you decide on your toppings.You have the choice of exotic fruits, ginger, fish eggs or seasonal specialties. And your poke bowl is ready!
I also really liked their own juices and beverages that are made by them! As a refresher, you could have their ginger shot, homemade ice tea or their fusion water.
For my bowl, I choose Riso Venere, with Tofu ,Spicy MaYo , Avocado, Mango and some other vegetables. It was really amazing!
For sure I really can't wait for the next time that I will visit it! I was so impressed of their great food but also of the place's vibes!
As an inside secret they told me that they are planning something very special in Zurich for the next spring!Can't wait ONA POKÉ !
if you don't have any specific plans for the weekend, I am here in order to give you an idea for one of the best way to spend your weekend, and especially for your Sunday!
