Last year I went to Paris on my own to really discover the city for myself with no opinion or judgement from others. This was not my first time though, since I visited Paris back in 2008 with my family and friends for a short weekend.

But this time I stayed for four nights (by accident) instead of two and I was very excited. Continue reading “Solo to Paris”

Fashionista’s like to look good, that’s a fact. Most of us want to be a certain size while we’re at it, because we want to be able to fit in the latest trends and show off our toned bodies and curves as much as we can, in a tasteful way that is. As a nutritionist and a fashionista/ stylist I have the knowledge to apply both healthy eating and styling to my own life. My main mission on XX Fashion Diva is to share that knowledge of fashion and style with you, but every now and then give you some tips and ideas on food and diet (that’s why I created this category).
