So happy to be back to my beloved Mediterranean. Warm waters! I ll be in Monaco with my sister, my friends, and my team for a few days... More to come very soon!

Right after @em_note wedding, we took a road trip down the coast of Italy. Of course, it was boring, monotone, and the food was bland...
.
KIDDING! We literally ate pasta everyday and I am not saying that pasta is the only thing Italians eat because (well first I am half Italian and my dad is a chef and my grandma was a chef and her restaurant was called Da Mamma so I would know) their food has so much variety that it s impossible to narrow down to one thing, but you get the totally non-food-restrictive vibe.
.
I paid for it later (or maybe it s the wine?)(or the cigarettes that crept in because, you know, when in Rome?) and I will tell you all about it soon. In the meantime, can we all agree that Siena is one of the most beautiful cities in the world?
.
We tried to go there by bike and miserably failed but I ll put that it my stories. Of course we had a couples melt down, what do you think? He never listens to my very smart plans! #garanceinitaly

It s so interesting how we lose touch with ourselves - it starts by wanting to please others : our parents, our friends, our followers or whatever we imagine society demands of us - and slowly we lose the sense of play.
.
Recently I have shared my mental health journey and understood through the feedback I got how much it is sort of everyone s problem too. So I want to try to share a little more about my journey here. .
And I want to start with play.
.
As you know I am an illustrator and an artist s journey is a quite beautiful but complicated one. And it s fine! What s not fine is when the demands we put on ourselves end up stifling our sense of play. I haven t taken the time to lose time creating and making stuff just for me for years. Making ugly or weird stuff is as important as making pretty stuff - if we only try to do what we know, the source dries up and we end up just copying ourselves and losing the juice.
.
Lately, I ve started making time again to have fun with shapes and color. It would be nothing for child to play and have fun and not give a damn - but it s a huge step for me. So, here you go, here is a blue clementine. Happy Sunday!

Ahah, what, I cut my hair again!!! You ve seen it in a few photos, I gave in and cut it all back. It feels so right. I explain why and what in a post on @atelierdore - follow the link in bio!

Also a big thank you to Clyde and @mirko_creativecolordirector at @thedrawingroomny - check out the stories to see how it s done

A few weeks ago I married my love @em_note and it was so beautiful, and I am so happy for her and so grateful to have been there right before, helping her relax and touching up her makeup before her dad came to pick her up.
Wishing all the happiness in the world to @theyestons !!! More in stories.

Love @diptyque box, found exclusively @saks - three of my favorite perfumes (personal fave: L Ombre Dans L eau) in an awesome format: a roll-on I can travel easily with. And I love anything I can travel with #saksbeauty #saksexclusive

I took a photo of this door in Palma de Mallorca last month and sent it right away to my sister - the delicate shape and the rawness of the rocks, to me it's such a beautiful inspiration for jewerly or furniture - I really wonder if there is any meaning behind that beauty...

My three loves We adopted a new dog, Leo. More of him (and a little bit of Lulu) in stories!

Sweet moment!!! I started wearing an Apple Watch again, and a lot of it is because of the new cool bracelet designs for it. This one is from @lagos_jewelry - it s called the #smartcaviar , it s in silver, and I really love it. #mylagosmyway

Lost in a world of color at @valsparpaint and @hgtvhomebysherwinwilliams colors of the year launch party. So inspired by all the beautiful shades, I can t wait to paint my home (gah!). Diving into interiors has been such an amazing experience for me, and I m so excited for you to see which colors I chose #colorsoftheyear #colorcollectionsoftheyear #sponsored

The view from my mom s house. I have seen this sunset thousands of times, and yet each time it s completely different. #corsica #garanceincorsica

I love the sun. I was born in Corsica, under the sun and I moved to California for the sun. But, CRAP, what a conundrum!
.
There is no way to do sun right.
.

Sunscreens either have chemicals or make you look like a ghost. They also damage the oceans, which is terrible and has me thinking twice of what products I put on before I go for a swim. But then, don t use them and you ll end up with crappy looking skin or skin cancer. BUT you also need your D vitamin and you need it for real, as in no sunscreen and no sunglasses unless you want to become depressed and, I don t know, cursed on three generations?
.

Also who can really say they put sunscreen on the back of their hands after each time they wash their hands? Not me.
.

In California, some women who are really worried about their skin succeed in staying absolutely white. They have dark tinted windows on their cars, spf driving gloves and when they walk their dogs, they are fully covered and wear weird hats that look like bees keeper hats. It s like a sun ghost was passing near you.
.

SO.
.

I decided to give up. Whatever!!! There is no way to be perfect. I try to protect myself when I can, how I can. I try to be conscious of the environment and to not go in the water covered in sunscreen. I try to be fine with the new freckles on my arms. I love being outdoors, hiking, swimming, riding my bike, walking my dogs (yes!!!) and even if I often favor a long sleeve over a spaghetti strap, I just keep it as easy as possible.
.

How do you manage this, depending on where you live? What are your favorite sunscreens?

While I am traveling in Europe, we re finishing choices for the house s fabric from @fabricut (Question : Who would have thought this process would take so long? Answer : Anybody who ever has had work done on their house) - a stripe for the kitchen banquette, a soft rose for the built-in sofa, a blue for the chairs we are re-upholstering... The tile is going in the kitchen. Soon we re starting the actual works and we are going to debut a few months worth of couch surfing
