You are...

"For it was not into my ear you whispered, but into my heart.
it was not my lips you kissed, but my soul."
-Judy Garland

Highly Recommended

The most beautiful make-up of a woman is passion.
But cosmetics are easier to buy.

Every girl knows:
Money cannot buy beauty.
But money sure can help enhance it?
Chanel & YSL and such always look good on the face...

What's in a Name?

This is such a silly and trivial thing to do... but kinda fun.
Just enter your name here and find out its meaning...


Well, this is what come out of it.
What do you think? Am I this person?

You Are Empathetic and Caring
You are loving, compassionate, and ruled by your feelings.
You are able to be a foundation for other people...
but you still know how to have fun.
Sometimes your emotions weigh you down,
but you generally feel free from them.

Tonight!

The city's restless.
It's all around me.
People in motion, sick of all the same routines.
...
Wake Up. Wake Up. On a Saturday night.
Could be New York. Maybe Hollywood and Vine.
London, Paris maybe Tokyo.
There's something going on anywhere I go.
Tonight

Give me a dance floor.
Give me a DJ.
Play me a record.
Cause I need to go, need to getaway.
Tonight.

*Pride and Prejudice

The glorious world of Jane Austen is at last brought back to the big screen in all its romance, wit, and emotional force in Pride & Prejudice. Faithful to the setting and period of the beloved novel and filmed entirely on location in the U.K, this is the first movie version of the story in 65 years.


The classic tale of love and misunderstanding unfolds in class-conscious England near the close of the 18th century. The five Bennet sisters – Lizzie, Jane, Lydia, Mary, and Kitty – have been raised well aware of their mother’s fixation on finding them husbands and securing set futures. The spirited and intelligent Elizabeth, however, strives to live her life with a broader perspective...

Two thumbs up from me for the wonderfully enlightening movie!

Caught in the Act

Behind the Paris haute couture masterworks lie the fabled workrooms. Hamish Bowles meets the highly skilled tailors and dressmakers whose wizardry makes the magic real...

In the couture ateliers, the atmosphere is one of single-minded focus and industry. Mobile phones are forbidden, and the garments in progress are shrouded in white cotton capes to protect them from dust, light, and prying eyes.

Battalions of headless tailor's mannequins are padded in the exact measurements of clients to facilitate the fitting process. In most houses, the seamstresses and tailors wear clinical white lab coats and pochettes as pendants containing the little scissors, thimbles, and skeins of thread that are the tools of their trade.


The designer's caprices must be indulged at all costs. "We have to efface ourselves entirely and absorb the spirit of the designer," says Chanel's Mme Cécile. "They are artists, and one must interpret what they want."

As for what we think of this job... "It was a dream. Clients would come from New York, Paris and all over the world and stay two or three months for their fittings. We've got to dress them!"

Fashionably Lego

Lego has conquered the runway as witnessed at the Jean Charles Van Damme Dem "Legos Are Hot" fashion show. Worn by models as headband detail, belt buckles and as brooches, the Lego accessories may start a craze in the coming seasons. There are also some for men's wear as well!

Aside from him, Marc Jacobs and online entrepreneur Kasi Made caught onto the Legomania fashion trend several season ago. Made designs accessories all made out of Lego. The brand sells bracelets, earrings, barrettes and necklaces all made out of the Danish-made toys. They’re such a hit that some items are already sold out.

The building blocks of a child’s imagination, who would have thought that Legos can also build fashion accessories?

The Riddle

Is there a clear way, to sense love?
Is there a simple way, to define love?
Is there a secure way, to follow love?
Is there the rightest way, to just love you?

Am I clear enough, to sense love?
Am I simple enough, to define love?
Am i secure enough, to follow love?
Am I right enough, to just love you?
Sometimes you just feel everything and nothing all at once.
Sometimes you will find yourself smiling while missing something
at the same time.
Life comes without guarantees.
I guess, I'm just too scared...

{Accesorize Up!}

What's the latest and most exclusive handbag?
What's the must-have accessory of the season?
It's probably as precious as a proper pair of Jimmy Choo stilettos:

Yippie, it's a puppy.
Dogs are no longer relegated to cramped quarters in the backyard or cats shooed away at dinner. They are the It-bag instead.

The idea of pets as accessories has been promoted profusely in movies and television shows in recent years, beginning with the character Elle Woods' Chihuahua, Bruiser, in the film Legally Blonde. Audiences were charmed -if not a bit repulsed, in an endearing sort of way, by the tiny dog's pink patent leather rain coats, matching hats and Tiffany necklace.

So next time you're stepping out of the house to hang-out, don't forget to bring your little friend. After all, it's the most chic accessories these days!
