What’s ElysWaves ?!

by Ely Luglio 17, 2018

written by Ely

After years of hesitation and many doubts I finally decided to open my own blog !

I know what you probably think now: ” Really ?! Girl! Do you think you’re original being like the billionth ?!” and “Oh no! Another one that thinks she has something interesting to say!”

Trust me, I would totally have had the same thought some time ago.

But the fact I had no voice for several consecutive months made me realize how much I have to say, how much I want to share with the others and how important it is for me to actually always have a way to say it !

I am a life enthusiast, I am passionate about writing, travelling, style, good restaurants and beauty tips and I am truly looking forward to share it with you !

I hope you will enjoy the journey and have pleasure to check my waves!

3 Summer 2018 Must-Have Fashion Items

by Ely Luglio 17, 2018

written by Ely

Here’s 3 of the items every style passionate should have in her closet this summer…

The PlaySuit

I do not have mine yet but it’s clear it is a must have in this summer season. Which colour ? Well to me it depends always to your own morphology but I think it is really a fun and fresh piece to have for summer days and I would totally go for the one from Nakd Fashion in Ecru – https://www.na-kd.com/en/trendyol/tulum-playsuit-ecru

The flat comfy shoes (slippers, sliders or espadrilles)

Lace-up flats; fringed sliders; colorful espadrillas… there’s certainly a trendy flat comfy shoe waiting for all of you this summer! I personally picked my favourite from Chiara Ferragni Boutique in Milan 😉 and I’m totally in love! –https://www.chiaraferragnicollection.com/eu-en/slippers-rosa-logomania-cf1800-012.html

The beach bag

Either you pick the very much seen Straw Bag, the Net Bag,the Ring Handles, the PVC Bucket, the Hip Pack (yeah I’m also not convinced yet but it is everywhere!) or the Shopping Tote… In any case your bag will need to scream out loud about good vibes and readiness to fully enjoy summer days ! My choice would be the much original Brandina Crystal Bag

Abu Dhabi & Dubaï

Hope you will enjoy those shots about our last trip to Abu Dhabi.

We visited it for the first time back in 2016 during a 2-days stop on our way to Seychelles for Honeymoon and actually totally fell in love with the hotel we stayed – The St.Regis Saadiyat Island- and promised to be back soon.

In 2018 we were looking for a spring vacation that could allow us to have a much needed relax, nice time at the beach, places to visit and good vibes ambiance. The choice was easily made: our memory of Abu Dhabi was filling in all criteria!

So we of course booked in the same hotel and decided to take the chance of this stay to visit the newly opened Louvre of Abu Dhabi, have a day trip to visit Dubaï and fully enjoy the time at the pool & beach without forgetting the great aperitifs and dinners at Buddha bar Abu Dhabi <3

No need to say how amazing was the visit at the Louvre. A real experience and a great chance to see unique art pieces in a suggestive and surprising decor. It would certainly remain one of the best parts of this nice trip!

We came back with the head full of wonderful shots among Dubaï skyline, Abu Dhabi Heritage village, The malls, the wonderful food we had enjoy and the fizzy evenings at our favourite bar.

But my special image about this trip, the one I will cherish for long is certainly the great deep blue of the sea meeting the gold shiny desert colors.

Check out those awesome places:

Summer Sunday in Gstaad

by Ely Luglio 17, 2018

written by Ely

*Come Up and Slow down *

This is certainly the most perfect light-motive for this incredible place !

We discovered it 2 years ago with friends and we immediately became great fans. All year long this wonderful structure allows you to take time for yourself, breath and find always deep relaxation.

Thanks to its inside and outside pools, its spa and its wonderful restaurant we enjoyed a great Sunday. After having sunbathed and swam in the outside pool, we treated ourselves with a fatalistic hammam ritual that brought us directly to a authentic oriental ambiance.

To beautifully end this great moment we had brunch on the Terrasse. Useless to say that the variety and quality of products, the live music, raclette – Yes there was raclette in July! And it was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G 😉 , made this to be one of the best brunches we tried lately (and trust me: we do are addict brunchers !)

Beauty Tips

My new fragrances choice: Premiere Note

by Ely Luglio 14, 2018

written by Ely

I’ve kind of always been passioned about perfumes. Since I was a kid I always played guessing which perfumes people were using and I actually was quite good at doing it! I truly always thought that a perfume should actually represent your personality and allow the others to discover through it a tiny part of our true self.
Growing up my passion became stronger and now I do no longer only guess what people is using but I love discovering new fragrances and brands.
This season my full attention has been caught during my last trip to Abu Dhabi. There, in a giant shopping mall I’ve encountered surprising, strong and unique fragrances: the Premiere Note Collection !
I’ve always liked original perfumes with particular and harmonious mixture of scents. Therefore it is no surprise Premiere Note totally delighted me first with Ambre Kashmir and then with Orange Calabria.

Ambre Kashmir brings you directly in the ambiance of an oriental starry night. Elegant, subtle; it combines greatly Patchouli, Amber, powdery and woody Cinnamon together with the deepest secrets of the spice route.
The result is a sensual and unique fragrance that embrasses you and brings your soul in a wonderful trip abroad.
Orange Calabria is nothing less than my first love Ambre Kashmir and is actually my daily summer new essential beauty favourite !
The fragrance is an ode to the magnificent gardens of the mediterranean coast. It reminds me of my childhood summers in Calabria with its cedar, rose and lily notes that smoothly fuse together with the strength of Orange trees and the uniqueness of sea wind to create a surprising, fruity, fresh and glamourous perfume.
Those two are lately my summer crush and I could barely think going anywhere without them but Premier Note proposes a wide range of different fragrances among the two main collections: Magical Gardens and Oriental Elixirs.

Which one would be your choice ?

In Switzerland you can find those treasures at Globus in Zurich and Geneva; In Italy at Excelsior in Milan and in France at Trupheme in Cannes and Saint-Tropez.
For major info about the lines and where to find it check out the official website: http://www.premiere-note.com
