Plait

I'd like this type of hair do. Not really glamourous but I am not trying to be that. I just want something new. I've been a little bit adventurous, as to research that is except for motorhome insurance, just for hair. I've been looking up how to do puff but is is rather cumbersome. Something this simple will do. I just have to find the time. PLAITED SIDE PONYModels-turned-actress Brooklyn Decker and Diane Kruger translate a runway trend into...

Best Asset

In the people article/section where they showed the celebs clothes that accentuate their assets. I found this very nice. It doesn't look like that this has been edited (in any platform such as tablet computers). I'm not a fan but I so like her height here. IF YOU'RE BOYISHKristen Stewart adds curve appeal to a boyish build by picking dresses that highlight her best features: toned shoulders and killer legs. Her Monique Lhuillier mini has strategic...

A Miss

I reckon. I'm no fashion guru, but this style doesn't really catch my eye on a positive note. Plus, the hair. It doesn't complement with the dress. I never liked her style in the SNC, however much it was applauded. I know, it's more edgy and stylish, but really, one can have enough of a mish-mash. I can't see any stainless steel partnership ring so, I cant comment much on the jewellery. SARAH JESSICA PARKERSJP shows off her sparkle in a Theyskens'...

New Shoes

The last three days of our trip back to the homeland was spent shopping and sight-seeing within Manila area. We didn’t venture outside of the sphere. The places that we hit were new to The Tatapilla and Mcj so it was good. It didn’t bother me that I’ve seen the place many times. I just wanted to relax, which exactly what I did on our holiday. Okay, back to shopping. The one-and-a-half me indulged me on that department. They went with me hopping...

Spats

VICTORIA BECKHAMMom-of-four Victoria shows off her enviable curves in a figure-hugging, two-tone tube dress, leather spats and pointed pumps.What is that? According to wiki Spats (originally a contraction of spatterdashes) are a type of classic footwear accessory covering the instep and ankle. Spats were primarily worn in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.Okay, now I know. I'm not a VB fan but I so like her style sometimes be they are eccentric....

Orange-y

I like RW's purse and scarf. The colour is nice - something rusty. I know, we are now going into the warm if not hot weather but this is just something to think about come winter time, which is next year.

Ensemble

SARAH JESSICA PARKERTaking a sophisticated stand in a tulle-skirted strapless dress and sparkling kitten heels, the actress completes her look with a collar necklace and loose curls for a Human Rights Campaign event in Washington, D.C.As per all votes, 88% say her outfit is a hit.

Mismatched

HEATHER VS. SARAH JESSICAThe Glee actress keeps her Loft sweater casual with jeans and oxfords in L.A., while the I Don't Know How She Does It star mixes prints with a floral skirt in N.Y.C.I like SJP's outfit here.

Younger Looking

DREW BARRYMORE Despite her bright red pants, the actress turned music video director flies under the radar at LAX in a retro-style newsboy cap, rocker tee and cool kicks. Indeed, this getup makes Drew B look younger. She's like a highschool kid (that's got her car title loans Kentucky). I wonder if she's trying to hide or calling attention to herself. *****It's All About What's In Down Under | Permanence in Change | I Am A Shoeaholic | A...

Hair Care Tip

BEACH BABE Looks like all those bikini shoots have made a big impact on Sport Illustrated Swimsuit Issue cover girl Brooklyn Decker! The model turned actress tells PEOPLE, "The best hair product in the world is the ocean water. For me, when I go to the beach – it sounds gross, it probably smells bad – but I don’t wash my hair for a day or two because it’s so wavy and salty and beach-y and you get the natural color from the sun." I can't say...

Platform Shoes

The shoes that Miranda had here are quite charming. I looked-up the Jimmy Choo site to see the heels but I cant find it.

Reiss Dress

What happens when the Duchess of Cambridge chooses a $340 dress from a popular British chain store for her first official duty as a newlywed? It sells out that day, of course!

And predictably, when the news spread of her wearing it, Reiss’s website crashed from all the traffic....

New Shoes

When Mcj updated my wardrobe he said that I was still upset because we didnt buy me new shoes (no we didn't buy bridesmaid dresses). So we went shopping again. These are the last pair that we bought. I bought another black pair for office use. These pair are really very comfy. They have the casual shoes soles or more like a sport short soles. And I am in need of flat closed shoes - for the winter and for the casual day of the week when my feet...

Shopping Cutback

All these have good and positive effects. It is noticeable at the shops these, how people are thinning compared to last year. It is affecting the retailers and the economy but at the same time, it means people are saving or paying off debt - saving for the rainy days and maybe to spend on Blue Cross Blue Shield NC when it is the right time. I'm half-way in between... NOBODY predicted the slowdown in consumer spending as Australia bounced back from the global financial crisis and no one has great confidence in forecasting how long it will endure.The...
