PERFECT DAY

I don’t like waking up to an alarm, so this is when I naturally wake up. I have a step-by-step beauty routine I never miss. I cleanse with a cotton pad and then apply my serum, Re-Nutiv Ultimate Diamond Transformative Energy Dual Infusion, and Re-Nutriv Ultimate Diamond Transformative Energy Creme, and The first thing I do in the morning is look at my phone. Then I drink a glass of hot water, take all of my vitamins (my favourite brand is Oligosanté) and prepare my coffee, but no breakfast unless I’m travelling — hotel breakfasts are my favourite thing ever, especially at The Real Coconut restaurant at Sanará hotel in Tulum, Mexico, which is quite a way from Geneva, where I live. Next, I put on the news in the background and make a few phone calls. I work out in the morning (in Nike or Alo Yoga gear) with my trainer, Abdoulaye Fadiga, who changes up my routine each day so it stays stimulating. One day it’s running, then boxing or Pilates. What I wear each day depends on my mood, but, generally, comfort wins. My go-to outfit is Levi’s jeans and a T-shirt, an Elder Statesman cosy sweater, flat boots or sneakers and a scarf. If I’m working, my current look is a silk slip dress with a belt, loafers and an oversized cardigan. I’m too lazy to change bags with all my outfits, so I’ve been using my metal Alaïa bag for a while and I love it! My dream lunch date is my grandmother Countess Cristiana Brandolini d’Adda. I have lunch early, because I don’t eat much in the morning. I love food, so I don’t restrain myself too much, but I’m careful about desserts. I drive everywhere and that s when I ll listen to the podcast or music. I have playlists for different moods, but right now it’s all classics from the likes of Tony Bennett and Nat King Cole. I like to wrap up shoots and meetings in time to catch up with friends and unwind before bed. I’m not the best cook, so I’m a huge restaurant fan. Most nights I’ll find a cosy restaurant like [Vini] Da Arturo in Venice and have a glass of wine and a meal with friends. I love documentaries. The show I’m really into right now is [French spy thriller] . I might also check in and see what’s happening with friends by scrolling through social media; I love knowing what they are all up to. Every evening, no matter what, I make time to take care of myself. I prepare tea and proceed with my evening skincare ritual. I cleanse my face with the same three steps from the morning, including Re-Nutriv Ultimate Diamond Transformative Energy Dual Infusion serum. After that, it’s lights out.
