Beautiful Charlize

May 16th, 2008

I’m so taken by these breathtakingly beautiful photos of Charlize Theron in the June issue W magazine. She’s flawless, whatever she wears looks stunning on her. Love the plum Donna Karan New York’s silk gown. Also, check out her article.

Super hot Rihanna and Maroon 5 Music Video

May 15th, 2008

I’m really behind on the music news, I didn’t even know Rihanna and Maroon 5 made a song together called “If I Never See Your Face Again”. It is HOT. I can’t help but want to share this with you. Love Rihanna’s gold bangles and big ruby-colored dangly earrings.

Don’t let this happen to you

My goodness, I didn’t know Mischa Barton was in such a terrible shape considering she’s so young and slim. Bikini season’s coming soon. It’s time to get our body ready for it, darlings. I don’t have any tricks. But definitely stay away from junk food ’cause the toxins will be deposited in your thighs especially if you are genetically predisposed to cellulite. I’m doing my best to eat more veggies and fruit now. I also believe green tea can help flush toxins out of your system. And I’m trying to use body scrubs more frequently. Using a body scrub in the shower not only gets rid of the dead skin cells, but it also helps your circulation and that also helps your body move the toxins out. And of course exercising is important. This will be the most difficult for me since I’m a lazy bum all year around. My guy’s trying to get me to hit his punching bag with his so he bought me my own pair of gloves and shin pads. We’ll see if I’ll last. These pictures of Mischa Barton might scare me into exercising ;)

Fresh Brown Sugar Body Polish 14.1 oz $65. Fantastic scrub that smells heavenly and lasts forever.

Very classy…

Looks to me L.C. and Heidi were having fun at Rolling Stones photo shoot.  There are more pictures over at Rolling Stones’ website.  Whitney’s pigtails look so adorable on her!

Posh’s Jeans are at a discount store

April 25th, 2008

Apparently Posh’s jeans aren’t selling so well. Gee, I wonder why, at $275 a pop at Kitson. But if you live close to a Loehmann’s, they are giving them away for $69.99. I bet she never expected to see her jeans go to a discount store.

Emily Blunt

April 16th, 2008

I adore Emily Blunt, who I think totally made the movie Devil Wears Prada. These are such gorgeous photos of her in NY Times, love the milky skin, green eyes and reddish brown hair. And the Miu Miu dress she’s wearing in the third picture is to DIE-for.

Her interview, The Americanization of Emily was so much fun to read. She made me laugh :)

Did you have any interaction with Julia Roberts, who was also in the film [Charlie Wilson’s War]?
Sadly, no. When I was around 10, rather inappropriately, I watched ‘‘Pretty Woman.’’ I remember asking my grandmother what Julia Roberts was showing Richard Gere. They were brightly colored, and I thought they were sweets. ‘‘That’s a condom,’’ my grandmother said. I went, ‘‘Oh right, oh right.’’ I had no idea what she was talking about.

Why do the Americans hold the British in such high esteem?
Because they think we’re all related to Shakespeare.

LC v.s. Heidi

March 23rd, 2008

So is everybody excited about The Hills’ season 3 premier on Monday night? I just read in that Whitney’s coming up with her own line of clothing called Eve & A this coming fall. It will feature convertible dresses, tops and jackets ranging from $40 to $250. Heidi already has a line ready to be in store in April. And Lauren’s line’s been out for awhile. All three girls are vying for a piece of The Hills market. We don’t know what Whitney’s line’s going to look like. Here are what Heidi’s and LC’s lines look. Heidi’s is considerably cheaper with everything under $50. Who do you think has got the better line?

Scarlett and Natalie

March 6th, 2008

Check out stunning The Sister Act spread of Scarlett Johansson and Natalie Portman in April issue of W, both dressed head-to-toe in Miu Miu, silk dresses and silk collars and cuffs! I especially love Natalie’s makeup, dark eyes, strong eyebrows and nude lips. I can’t wait to see the movie!

How to become Paris’ BFF

February 27th, 2008

When I heard about Paris Hilton’s genius of an idea of looking for a new pal for a reality TV show, I thought what a ludicrous joke it was. But apparently it’s true. My favorite Toronto Star columnist Vinay Menon came up with a simple 10-point guide to succeeding as Paris Hilton’s BFF that had me laughing my head off. Here’s some mid-workday humor for you :)

1. STAYING IN TOUCH

Parties, club openings, photo-ops … Paris is a busy gal. So electronic communication will be vital. When chatting on the cell, keep sentences short and on-point. When texting or emailing, don’t scrimp on exclamation points, cattiness or emoticons. Example: “U won’t believe!!! Saw Nicole @ Madeo!!! Still eatin’ for 2 ;)”

2. UNDERSTANDING YOUR PLACE

Friendship is co-equal and steeped in mutual respect. Whatever! You are a sidekick. So if Paris decides it’s time to dance on tables and you don’t feel like dancing on tables, too bad, you’re dancing on tables. (See also: “I don’t feel like … making special brownies/getting a Brazilian/partying at Villa/telling whatshisface it’s over/holding the video camera while you two do it/posting bail/accessorizing Tinkerbell.”)

3. THE LOOK

Wake up. Brush veneers. Straighten dyed hair. Apply multiple coats of makeup. Squeeze into revealing outfit. Affix oversized sunglasses to skull. Light cigarette. Exit house.

4. SOOTHING THE PRINCESS

To comfort Paris, simply ridicule her enemies: “Honey, who cares if you own 17 dogs and the Humane Society is pissed? Those people are fat slobs!” “Sweetie, did you see what Perez wrote about Lindsay this morning? What a skanky bitch!” “That exec said what about your new album? Please, he’s a disgusting pig!”

5. YOUR NEW DIET

Cristal. Kobe beef. Hennessy. Oysters. Grey Goose. Sushi. Jell-O shooters. Animal crackers. (Repeat daily.)

6. WHAT’S YOURS IS HERS

So there you are inside a thumping L.A. hotspot when Paris suddenly decides she loves your skirt. Your response? Take it off and give it to her. After this happens two or three times, you’ll hardly remember what it was like to party fully dressed. Other items that are no longer really yours: jewellery, old love letters, purses, drug test results, ex-boyfriends, cars, throw pillows and, should she ever need a transplant, internal organs.

7. KEEPING QUIET

Everybody wants to know what Paris is really like. Your answer: “Paris is really cool. She’s just Paris.” (There will be time for lucrative tell-alls when you’re no longer best friends. See No. 10.)

8. LEARNING THE WALK

When out in public, pretend you’re in a movie and the director has asked you to ambulate in slow motion with excessive side-to-side head movements that suggest you’re watching a tennis match in zero gravity.

9. GETTING ALONG WITH HER (OTHER) FRIENDS

Phoniness is the key. Air kisses are mandatory. When listening to conversations, smile or snicker where appropriate.

Should you be asked a direct question, always answer with: “Let’s go to Fred Segal!”

10. PREPARING FOR THE INEVITABLE

Here’s the last thing to remember: this new friendship will probably only last until the season finale (or six months, whichever comes first). Enjoy the ride while it lasts.

Then go find an agent.

My favorite Oscar’s best-dressed

February 25th, 2008

I didn’t watch the Oscars last night, but everybody has to pick a favorite best-dressed actress right? Mine is the Hollywood’s Nicest Actress Anne Hathaway. I just love her. She’s always so elegant and poised. This grecian goddess dress is to die for and cannot look any better with her gorgeous milky skin. Her makeup and hair was perfection. I’m really glad she did an up-do to really show off beautiful neckline and rosettes.

Who’s your favorite?

Heath Ledger dead?!

January 22nd, 2008

OH MY GOD, I couldn’t believe it when I heard it on the radio today as I was driving home. Who would’ve expected Heath Ledger in such shocking news? He was hardly in the tabloids. Only 28 years old and now his 3-year-old daughter is fatherless. What a tragedy. “CNN and the NY Times are reporting that Heath Ledger was in fact found dead at an apartment that was owned by Mary-Kate Olsen. Heath Ledger’s autopsy is scheduled for tomorrow. He was found face down on the bedroom floor.”

Keira Knightley and Atonement - a perfect marriage

January 4th, 2008

A UK poll by high street chain Superdrug has found Keira Knightley is Britons’ beauty icon for 2007. I’m sure the movie Atonement has something to do with it. Have all of you seen the movie? Isn’t it just a beautiful picture? Keira Knightley looks divine in it. Don’t you just love the emerald green dress she wore?

From the Press Association: this dress has been voted the best film costume of all time! It even beat out Marilyn Monroe’s white dress in The Seven Year Itch and Audrey Hepburn’s little black dress in Breakfast At Tiffany’s! That’s something.

Tinz TV? I hope it’s true!

December 29th, 2007

Anyone who cares about or follows the society world of NYC knows Tinsley Mortimer is the IT girl on the scene. She gets a lot of flack for being a social climber and appearing in the media non-stop. True or not, I still quite like her style. I love her perfect blond hair, doesn’t she look adorable? I read in The New York Observer that she might get her own TV series. Well, I hope it’s true! She admits that she’s “never done effortless chic well. I do better looking very feminine with everything tucked into its place”, which works for her I think. She sticks to her own style even though some people criticize her.
And I like the look of her Samantha Thavasa bags judging from the party pictures she’s in carrying them. They seem hip, bold, and trendy, which definitely has a place in a girl’s wardrobe. I hope she does do a TV show, I’ll keep my eyes peeled.
