THE FASHION

THE HAIR

THE L'OREAL MUSES

The outside is almost as important as the inside

The sun is back! That means BBQ's, bonfires, tanning by the pool, volleyball, etc. It also means that you can enjoy every of those marvellous activities with company! Although for that, you will need to have the required installations. Your patio set should be comfortable, but who said comfortable rhymed with "fugly"! Go for something cozy AND good-looking! 

Here are several styles and examples.

There's gossip to every story

There's only a few television series that I follow religiously... and "Gossip Girl" is one of them. At first, I wasn't really attracted to the concept, which portraits the life of the high socialites in New York City. Although being the fashion junky I am, I couldn't help, but fall in love with it (as well as Chuck Bass if you know what I mean ladies). Eric Daman is the famous stylist behind the camera! Know for his work in "Sex And The City', "America's Next Top Model", and a good number of movies, he also published a book where he gives numerous fashion tips. For example, the three items every women should have in her wardrobe! Check out the video!

Not only are the clothes fabulous, but the music is very much "dernier cri"! They tend to complement the show with the latest and most famous singles in the pop industry. Rihanna, Maroon 5, Martina of Dragonette, everyone wants to figure to their playlist! I know I would!

Here's a couple of pictures from last week's episode (taken from gossipgirlfashion.net). Don't forget, Gossip Girl airs Mondays at 8pm on MuchMusic!

TWO OF MY FAVOURITE STYLE MOMENTS (in Paris):

21 by Adele

Recently, I've been constantly listening to Adele's soulful music. This album represents the pain and sorrow of one of her past relationship. "Rolling In The Deep" and "Set Fire To The Rain" are her most famous singles. If you really take a moment and listen to the entire album, you will discover some other amazing pieces. "He Won't Go", "Turning Tables", "I'll Be Waiting", "Rumour Has It" and many more. Every song pictures the different phases we all go through during bad breakups. As you can see, I used some of her inspirational lyrics in my blog. Her words and powerful voice have the ability to touch countless of individuals.

Funny fact: Her ex-boyfriend wants a share of the profits since he's her source of inspiration. Sorry boy! You should of kept her! Better luck next time.

Everyone's expectations are high for her next masterpiece.
Hopefully, the waiting won't be to long!
