Miss Peru World missed the annual pageant in the first few decades. Therefore Peru has not had many finalists in the Miss World contest although Peru has won the Miss World crown twice. In 2002, Marina Mora placed third, Claudia Hernández made to the semifinalists and also won the Best Designed Evening Gown Award in 2003, just one year before Maria Julia Mantilla got the crown in 2004, making a great come back for Peru in this contest.

Quick and sexy inspiration

Hello guys,

Today's post is a sexy and cool inspiration. A great editorial which I have found at Elle Brazil.

I loved the combination of tailored items with sheer fabrics, amazing corsets and cheeky underwear on show. Quite grown up and fantastically gorgeous.
A tale of seduction.


An amazing corset with a simple tailored jacket, a deliciously daring look.


I am absolutely in love with this ever so lady like, ever so cute futuristic jacket.


This silk shirt with some detail on the shoulders is gorgeous. The stockings and suspenders are just pure sexy appeal.


Love the simplicity of this nude combo. A beautiful structured blazer and a body con dress never fails.


Sensually and cleverly use your imagination and play with your layers.


See you all soon.

The art behind Chanel fragances

Hello everyone,

I was missing blogging so much! I was away with a friend for a few days. We went up to Manchester, it was quite cold and very rainy, still it's always nice to travel and we had a good time.

Back in London town the other day I had the opportunity to attend the Chanel Baudruchage demonstration.

Baudruchage, it's the distinctive art form to seal the bottles of the most luxurious fragrances in the world. It was very interesting to see it because it's a very skilled process.

Chanel actually only hire 8 women, called Metier d’Art. All the work is done manually, bottle by bottle, it takes them around 7 months training.

The 3 stage technique complies in using a very thin rubber which looks like a thin skin, the skin is quickly wrapped around the bottle neck and lid. Secondly, the black cord is meticulously wrapped around the seal and then cut. Finally the hot wax is applied onto the same spot and marked twice with the Chanel logo.


It's a very luxurious finish, also functional because this rubber seal not only helps to preserve the scent but also guarantees the quality of the brand to the customer proving that the product hasn't been tampered with.


The 8 ladies employed by Chanel can produce 100 bottles an hour, in total an average of 2.500 bottles are hand sealed by day.
They normally will wrap the rubber skin and the cord in one batch and finish all off in the afternoon stamping all the bottles with the wax.

This treatment is reserved for the extrait concentration, the most luxurious form of perfume.


Another reason to love Chanel!
It's quite amazing how much effort goes into a single product.

See you soon.

The bare necessities... What is in my bag.

Hello everyone,



I am back!



I am so sorry with the lack of news around here but on the other hand, I had a very busy and pleasurable week going out with friends and having guests around.

I haven't been posting lately but I was still having my usual peep at many of your lovely blogs!



Anyways, I have always really enjoyed all the posts where some of you girlies share the contents of your bags to the world...

The nosey side of me (he, he, he) loves to find out what type of things people carry around. What can you not live without it?



Inspired by so many of your posts, I thought it was my turn to share with you what is in my bag.

I hope you enjoy!





I try to keep it to a minimal because I do change bags every other day!



The bare necessities:



Today inside my Vivienne Westwood pirate bag...



- My beloved old wallet by Circa.

- An old second hand Blackberry.

- Pretty Portobello cards.

- An umbrella (if you live in England a brolly is a must!).

- Chewing gum.

- Boujoirs Lipstick.

- A wooden comb.

- Deodorant.

- Elizabeth Arden Blusher.

- Blusher brush.

- Hello Kitty chocolates.

- Bach florals.

- Perfume.

- Tape (for my feet, against blisters, because I can't use plasters).



That is the basic, then normally I would also carry some gloves, a hat and a scarf... sometimes even my chocolate milkshake (a devilsh Frijj) goes in there too!



See you soon.

Daisy Lowe Best Artist Model Pictures

Daisy Lowe Best Artist Model Pictures

Lowe grew up in Primrose Hill, North London, and stayed with grandparents to continue her education at South Hampstead High School when her mother, Pearl Lowe, moved to Hampshire. Until 2004, Lowe was believed to be the daughter of Pearl Lowe's ex-husband Bronner Lowe, but a paternity test revealed that her godfather, Bush singer/guitarist Gavin Rossdale, was in fact her biological father. Her mother Pearl wrote about the situation in her book, All That Glitters, where she revealed that Daisy was in fact Gavin Rossdale's daughter. Daisy's paternity was not questioned at the time, and Lowe listed "Bronner Lowe" on Daisy's birth certificate. Rossdale had initially offered to take a paternity test, but backed away. It wasn't until Daisy found out that neither Lowe nor her mother had the O-type blood that she had, that Lowe sought a paternity test through her lawyers. Rossdale's wife, singer Gwen Stefani, was reported to be furious about this, causing some difficulty in their marriage.

Lowe dated William Cameron Jr. (member of the former British indie-rock band Blondelle) from 2007 - January 2008. Lowe then dated Grammy-award winning music producer Mark Ronson in early 2008 until September 2008. As of 2009, Lowe returned to a relationship with Will Cameron. English fashion model, Daisy Lowe, takes her clothes off and strikes some raunchy nude poses for Paradis magazine. No record just yet on which Paradis' issue her naked pics will be featured.
