  • 🧸 MUM FATALE 💄
Fabulous Ivana from @ivanaswelt interviewed me a couple of weeks ago about being a mum and staying glamorous. A question I loved to answer, obviously. 
📲 Hit the link in the bio for the whole podcast interview!
💄Swipe for the many times my daughter crashed my glam world and my photo shoots, enchanted me with her crazy posing ideas & partnered up with her own individual style. The first picture was taken the day I published
www.madamefaction.com (while in maternity leave) - the last picture shows you those first heels I wore after giving birth - a very important moment for the long journey to becoming pre-parent version of me.

  • 🩵 AUTUMN is near 🩵
The only way to survive those upcoming rainy & cold days? Fashion. So I decided to make this thrifted trench a Dynasty style dress, Alexis would be proud of (swipe to see her dress).

  • 🥃 Celebrating ROME 🥃
Yes, we did it again: My ladies travel club went on another beautiful trip - and this time we opted for ROMA. Loved the heat, the city's calm vibe, the delicious food & and the fab drinks, the grand sights but also the tiny streets & shops.

  • 🥃 La DOLCE VITA 🥃
The charm of Rome? Its grandeur as well as its intimacy.
Its Colosseum next to Federico Fellini. The Vatican right next to a Negroni. As simple as that.

  • 💙 romanticizing ROME 💙
... I mean it's not hard to romanticize Rome. But anyhow it's not only its archictural galore one needs to visit. It's all those hot, beautiful little streets, the olive trees in the middle of it, the many grand but calm bridges and all the lovely overloaded balconies. Love to discover all of them currently with my ladies - and cheers to all the ladies travel families out there 🥃

  • 💙 Farewell ZADAR 💙
My absolute happy place in summer? The @thegardenlounge_zadar, a relaxed bar located on the old city wall of Croatia's Zadar. The views are fabulous, there's always a salty breeze, the Old Fashioned is delicious, and the soundtrack dances somewhere between vintage pop & house remixes. Add red lipstick and super blue Marlene pants and allez-hop, it's my personal vacation match made in heaven.

I might be looking crazy forward to London currently. But in the end I always yearn for Paris.
