We're used to seeing cutie Taylor in curls and red lips but for this year's Grammys she went with a slick bun and neutral makeup to match her Zuhair Murad nude silk mermaid gown and gold Neil Lane jewelry. The collared, capped-sleeve floor-length gown is a perfect getup for Swift's frame and back cutouts added a sexy yet elegant touch. Isn't she glam or isn't she GLAM? ...
Stunning Taylor Swift at the Grammys
SPRING/SUMMER 2012 WOMENSWEAR COLLECTIONS
Taking inspiration from 90's minimalism, Reiss SS12 attributes the clean lines from past Calvin Klein campaigns, and the appeal and vintage cut of Jean Paul Gaultier. Playing with measurements, materials and layering ensure that the clean lines of the 90's silhouettes feel fresh and modern. Layering separate materials in new lengths creates a distinct softness and heralds a ‘new way of dressing,’ which is both feminine and wearable. Print injections enhance this further, as sheer fabrications are overlaid on colorful prints. Prints of various colours are also pieced together or inserted with sheer panels. Knitwear ranges from micro wool to chunky stitches, in chalky pastel tones and soft ...
GGL Bags
GGL stands for George Gina Lucy --- a line of handbags created by Germany-based designers Nicholas Neuhaus, his wife Nicole Bailly, and their common friend Oliver Bruno in 2004. I have bought them since and really loved each of those that I've had. I find my choices boring, really, a yellow bag? I don't know why I bought this piece but I don't regret it, size-wise I can put my camera in it (a bulky Canon 7D with an 18-200 lens), a flash, make-up minibag, wallet and some more stuff. There are 3 main zippers with the middle having three smaller pockets. I might have mentioned this before but I'll mention it again, each bag has a unique name and when you first buy it, the tag includes a ...
Hoist Roc It Fitness System
If there's a so-called favorite exercise machine, I'll choose Roc Its various machines. "Using ROX™ technology, equipment makes the user an integral part of the exercise motion by continuously adjusting the position of the user with the movement of the exercise arm. ROX™ technology achieves an exercise movement that results in optimal biomechanical positioning and increased range-of-motion throughout the exercise. This exercise motion mimics the more natural, comfortable, and functional movements of free weight training. Additionally, the rocking movement constantly shifts the user’s center of gravity to impose small, yet appropriate challenges to the core musculature, while maintaining ...
New Cath Kidston Bags
The ever-popular Cath Kidston bags have been updated with side gussets to give you more room, and now comes in new designs too. Well, the one in photo might be old but I'd definitely get this for my daughter. She's been using the same bags for years and she has none of those waterproof ones. I got introduced to Cath Kidston by a friend who loves them. Been reading reviews here and there but mostly of other makes. It's great to know that on one site I visited, a representative of the brand is answering negative feedbacks and offering renewals. Most of the complains are about the magnetic catches tha are easily removed. Hopefully they get to make it better. Anyway, would still love to buy ...

Vöslauer Balance
I'm no fan of soda water or any other flavored water but when Vöslauer got their natural mineral water combined with selected flavors and extracts of fruits and herbs, I was hooked... So did the kids. Here are three of our favorites: There are many other variations of the Vöslauer balance. There's about 12-16 calories per 100 ml, I somehow have this notion that it cleans your system, especially the one with grapefruit--- also suitable for diabetics. ;) -- ...

H&M makes shopping for Kids more fun
Let me rephrase the title. H&M makes shopping for moms easier --- by installing game consoles in selected stores. Those are X-Boxes my kids played with as I search for stuff, not only for me but for them as well. I had to disturb son1 a bit for him to try the shoes on. I find it really convenient. There are stores that have television installed in a small corner, some pillows on the floor where kids could wait as mom or dad shops for their shoes or pants but my kids agree that this is cooler! They get to play and save their feet from pain of too much walking around. I, could also look around with less complaints from them. teehee. That day, even though I've finished shopping, they still ...
Garnier Anti-ruff conditioner
My hair is and will always the one healthy thing about me. For as far as I remember I've always had shiny black hair. I had it once until my waist but for kids, the problem you get are lice. Teehee, good thing my mom would be to the rescue. Now though, going out means some extra protection and I have Garnier's anti-ruff conditioner to thank. Like its other products, they've reinforced active fruit concentrate. Garnier Fructis hair care products protect and strengthen the hair and makes it lively. I'm an advocate of Vitamin E so along with this I also eat lots of cucumber and avocado...Also, this conditioner is applicable after taking a bath and leaves hair smelling really good. Try ...
Alexis Mabille’s bold colors
Marcel Proust's quote: "It's only women who do not know how to dress that are afraid of colors. A dress may be brilliant without vulgarity and quiet without being dull." To which French fashion designer Alexis Mabille answers during the Fashion Week Paris: Haute Couture 2012 with colorful dresses in apple green, deep orange, yellow - combined with giant orchids, daffodils and hibiscus as headresses and also painted faces. -- for: ...
My Yves Rocher Facial Mask and Moisturizer
I would recommend organic facial masks or homemade if you'd like to call it, with one of the recipes I posted earlier on. (See 2 posts down). I just don't have all the time in the world to mix such concoction everyday so having masks like the ones pictured above or those that can be bought in smaller packs would be convenient. These two are some of the products in the box of Yves Rocher I got some time last week, the whole lot is here. On the left is a matte peeling mask (green cap) with purple flowers on it. Those are from Scutellaria, also known as skullcap; it's a potent antioxidant. It's also said to be an antihistamine, antibacterial and inflammatory modulator containing tannins, ...
Mango SS12 Starring Kate Moss
Supermodel Kate Moss returns as the face of fashion house MANGO in a new voyeuristic TV commercial by controversial but brilliant photographer, Terry Richardson. The 45-second ad titled "Spy Game" features Moss frolicking around her apartment from the point of view of a spy camera's lens. She is seen in different outfits and ends up with that chic black dress and sexy pair of heels. She then smiles from the window as if knowing that our spying will lead us all at a Mango store. Here's her stunning as could be wearing a black top (£19.99) with trousers (£64.99) pleated dress (£22.99) with jacket £44.99 - Mango from top to toe. ...
Yves Rocher Shower Gels and Shampoo
These are some more loots from my Yves Rocher box. I got these 3 shower gels for free when I ordered from their online shop. Far left is a shampoo fit to use when out on a beach for the summer so I've yet to use it. In the middle is pink lotus flower from Laos shower gel, really smells good and feels so summery on your skin. Last would be my favorite, you'd feel so clean after using this Orange from Florida shower gel. Lovely gifts from Yves Rocher that will leave you fresh and feeling rejuvenated. -- for: ...
