Power Weddings

Every now and again, the nuptials of the famous and powerful capture the world’s attention. This time around, we’re being treated to the union of two American political blue bloods. On July 31^st, the wedding of Chelsea Clinton and Marc Mezvinsky is set to take place at the famed Astor Courts in Rhinebeck, NY.

The wedding of the year between the former first daughter and the investment banker is rumored to run anywhere from $3 - $5 million, with the bride wearing Vera Wang, a reported $250,000 worth of jewelry, and a reception featuring fireworks, a vegan cake and $500,000 worth of flowers.

The 500 name guest list will include Oprah Winfrey, Steven Spielberg, Barbra Streisand and Ted Turner per Chelsea’s “strict no-strangers policy: she must personally know every invitee.”

Wonder if they’ll be paying Papa Bill to play the sax?

The little black dress

The little black dress is actually a vintage piece which has been introduced by Coco Chanel in the 1920's, and since then this fashion piece has been present on the runways every single year.

 

Black pants and blouses

Black skirts

Are absolutely fabulous and suit perfect women with gorgeous legs that need to be put into value.

I want to runaway

Sometimes I feel like my life would be so much simpler and easier if I lived someplace where no-one could find me. Where I'd be left in peace to talk with the animals (I'm convince if left alone with them for long enough that this will eventually be possible), live off the land and walk around in the nuded and free.

This spot would do just right.

Then I realised I enjoy the buzz of the city too much and know that I'd probably come running back for my daily dosage of MacDonald's, tv and electric blankets.

It's the thought that counts though, right?

Where would your perfect runaway destination be?

Spoil your fabulous furry friend!

Chrismakwanzukkah in July

For those of us who simply can’t stand to wait another five months to hear the sleigh bells ring, music play and prayers recited, there’s another “holiday” this time of year: Chrismakwanzukkah in July! Hey, we’re all for any excuse to go shopping. Check out these stellar finds that you must add to your holiday wish list right this second (okay, or consider for your friends and family)!

Because a girl can never have too many summer dresses…we adore the “Lucca Couture Floral Ruffle Dress” from Urban Outfitters. Feminine and comfortable.

Now that we’ve set our eyes on these nude J Brand 10” Ankle Skinny Pants, we cannot breathe. A-maz-ing.

But seriously, who doesn’t love shoes? We can’t wait to get our hands on a pair of Steve Madden’s “Teasse” platforms in blush suede. Hello, bombshell.

We are dying for Marc by Marc Jacobs’s “Petal to the Metal Flap Pouchette.” The bird-shaped logo plate is different and adorable – the perfect addition to any ensemble.

OPI’s “Shrek Forever After” collection has the perfect set of fun, flirty, bright nail polishes for you to finish out the rest of the summer in style.

Just to be fair, we’ll throw in a little something for the men in your life: the “Summer Grillin’ Tie” from Vineyard Vines. Precious.

Don’t forget about your pets! We adore VONDERBITCH’s chic and versatile leather accessories, including this “Leather Cuff” in hot pink patent – a collar for your pet OR a bracelet for yourself.

There you have it…a little something for everyone. Happy Holidays!

Ugh, get over it

I really don't get the drone-like way in which "fashionistas" seem to hail coffee as THE most fashionable drink (outside of alcohol, of course).

I find it bizarre that people genuinely WANT to be drinking coffee at THAT coffee house because...well, because it's Vida (I'm not against Vida at all, I like their ice-coffees, but please). There's an equally good coffee place around the corner and possibly you may not have to elbow your way to the counter, or squeeze your tiny little bum in the corner near the noisy silver machine that "Poofs" and "Wooshes" and pops out the cocoa goodness because there may actually be seats available!

Not good enough for me.

Then there's those who get excited when "New fashionable coffee house" *The name eludes me* opens up.

It's coffee.

It's Just Coffee.

Just coffee.

Maybe it's because I'm more of a tea drinker myself that this unfathomable obsession with having one of those small cylyndrical-cardboard-cups-that-immediately-point-you-out-as-cool is foreign to me, but I don't see how a name on your coffee cup can automatically bump you up the Cape Town Cool-Factor-Ladder (is there even one of those?).

Who knows though, when some clever brander decides to give tea a makeover and make it sexy/trendy/too-cool to drink, I may just have to swallow my words.

Hmmm.

The Weekend That Was

This was a bit of a tough weekend for me...sad news is never easy to deal with. So I was a little up and down. This weekend I...

+ Found out that when things seem like they can't get any worse, something slaps you in the face, and it's even worse.
+ Had a mini meltdown
+ Was disappointed
+Spent some time with the lovely drummer's dad (who's super cool)
+ Ate the *MOST* delicious cheese Ever. Did I say Ever?
+ Realised I take my crap out on the lovely drummer 1. Because I love him the most and 2. Because he loves me the most *Life's funny that way
+ Went to the beach
+ Made a lovely dinner with the Marja (My mommy)
+ Regretted some of my actions

What did you do this weekend?

i admit it...

I have a (massive) girl crush on Zooey. Those eyes, that fringe, her beautiful white skin...

*sighs...

I think I'm going to cut a fringe. On me. Not on any one else. Just to clarify.

Happy Friday Friends
xxx

let's all just be friends...

I've really been thinking a lot about my friends lately and feeling all gooey inside about how much they're the coolest bunch around!

So, all you crazy gals (and boys) this post is just to say "Hi," and "I think you're awesome," and "yeah, that's about it..."

Love you all (you know who you are)
And also, to those of you who actually read this - you're totally awesome too, cos you know, you just are.
Please, do me a MASSIVE favour and have an amazing weekend and tell me about it on Monday.

Cool. xx

Ice Skating

Last night a few friends and I went Ice Skating at the shiny Grand West Casino.

I like the romantic idea of ice skates...and ice...and ice skating...so was really looking forward to gliding along, being all graceful and pretty much looking awesome. Of course not 30 seconds after my blades hit the frost did some crazy ass kid come floating along (at an incredible speed, don't be fooled) Right In Front Of Me and nearly left me in a crumpled and completely devoid-of-dignity heap.

Luckily I recovered and was able to enjoy the rest of my 90 minutes on the ice which is where my point actually lies.

Fact: Ice Skates Hurt A Lot.
Fact: Professional Ice Skaters (The slim beautiful kind) look so petite and pretty and gorgeous and just so damn perfect.
Fact: Their feet must be gross.

There is no way that ANY person can spend hours on the ice, training, falling, splooshing, slipping, gliding whatevering, and not have hideously ugly feet! I mean I have blisters from just an hour and a half of flighty "wooshing" as Se's friend might say ( x )

So, I'm sure you'll all be happy to know, I am no longer desperately disappointed that i couldn't (ok, just didn't) become a professional ice skater being whisked along by some hot althoughbeit-in-very-tight-spandex ice skating prince. And that's because I like my feet the way they are.

And I'm pretty sure the lovely drummer boy does too.

*Smiles

Mini Me's

Ok, so they're not actually mini ME's but these little fig.s are too awesome!

Makes you start to think *What would it be like living as an ant?* Don't even GO there! Once you've begun shrinking your mind to assimilate the size of an ant's mind there's no saving you...you become (dare I say it?) SmallMinded dundunduhhhhhhhhhh!

*Note: Please excuse postor of this blog's apparent craziness: being cooped up all day while it's sunny outside doesn't bode well for her sanity.

The End.

See more Mini Me's, yes Me's (muhahahaha) here.

Red Carter is RED HOT!

Next on the list for Mercedes Benz Fashion Week in Miami was designer Red Carter who went out of the box with his runway show. Starting off with cocktails at the Bass Museum of Art guest were surrounded by pieces of art both on and off the runway. Red Carters unique design of rocker and artsy was a huge hit with the audience. The line proved to be different and modern as well as wearable. His muse for this collection was the world of modern art and he most definitely displayed that in his 2011 Swimwear collection.

FORMzine .com writes:

“References like Jackson Pollock, News Paper Print, Private Benjamin, and Dragon Lady adorned Red Carter’s 2011 collection’s program, setting the stage for one of the best shows of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Swim 2011 season.”

If you missed this artsy extravaganza here’s a look at the highlights of the show!

Things I like

This guy's stuff is really cool

Owen Gildersleeve (what a cool surname right? Sounds like something from the medieval times). Anyway, I would love to be able to make stuff like Owen makes stuff...my little heart can dream (and be inspired and motivated ;) )

See more of his awesomeness here.

The Fall

The lovely drummer and I watched a movie the other night called The Fall (I must boast, I picked it out :) )
This is a must-see...the story, the characters, the journey, the images...please see this movie.
It's a story of love, not only between two lovers but between friends, family and strangers.

Catinca Untaru, the young girl playing the undeniably endearing Alexandria stole my heart within seconds. She's brilliant.

What makes this film so magical however is the cinematography, the scenes, settings and composition. It was like visiting the art gallery whose pieces are scenes out of your own mind - the scenarios couldn't have been portrayed in a more poignant way aesthetically. I love the scene when the bandits meet the Mystic for the first time, and also when they eventually reach the evil Odius' castle the Escher-like scene where the guards run up and down the steps toward one of our heroes is stunning to watch.

Sometimes, when I'm seriously bored, I [day]dream that some gorgeous, eloquent masked-bandit will sweep me away from my buzzing PC and carry me off into perfect sunsets (in the form of the lovely drummer of course!) and then the reality hits and I realise that those archaic thoughts and worlds of the knight in shining armour (probably) come resplendent with long annoyingly difficult-to-walk-in dresses/skirts, no hot water, no Gossip Girl (whaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?), uncomfortable hay beds and the very (very) very real possibility of the Shiny Knight turning into an expendable knight/soldier-type-thing/man who then turns to ale (which gets caught in and permeates his beard, further ferments there), eating too much (thus acquiring a lovely Roast Pig boep) and finally wanting (and expecting) me to still find him attractive. Eeuw.


The scenes I liked:

Best lines:
Luigi: [reading from Evelyn's locket] My dearest daughter, never marry for money, fame, power or security. Always follow your heart. Your ever loving father...
Blue Bandit: It says all that on that little locket?
Luigi: Si.


Roy Walker: What's that?
Alexandria: Food.
Roy Walker: Where'd you get it?
Alexandria: The chapel.
[feeds him a communion wafer]
Roy Walker: I'm sorry I shouted at you. I was angry.
Alexandria: No problem.
Roy Walker: Are you trying to save my soul?
Alexandria: [not understanding] Hmm?
Roy Walker: Are you trying to save my soul? Do you understand me?
Alexandria: What?
Roy Walker: Did you understand what I meant?
Alexandria: What you said?
Roy Walker: I said, are you trying to save my soul? Giving me that?
Alexandria: What mean that?
Roy Walker: The Eucharist.
Alexandria: What?
Roy Walker: The Eucharist. The thing you gave me. It's a... it saves your soul.
Alexandria: Hmm? The thing I give you... what?
Roy Walker: The little piece of bread that you just gave me. It saves your soul.
Alexandria: What? What? *What*?


Have you seen this film yet? What did you think?

Yummscumptious Snack

Last night I felt like chocolate chip cookies, but it being 10pm, and with me being too lazy to run on down to the 24Hour place (which probably wouldn't stock the best version of what I was looking for anyway) I had to make do with what was in the fridge.

So, I'm here to share with you that mini rolls, Camembert gooeyness cheese slices, dried cranberries and a thin layer of mayo is delicious. Just so you know.

The American Debut of Dolores Cortés

Friday July 16, 2010 at 7:30pm

The Raleigh Hotel, Poolside

1775 Collins Ave in South Beach

Dolores Cortés made her stateside debut, unveiling her S/S 2011 Collection during Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Swim as the only European designer on the American-heavy runway.

The veteran Spanish swimwear brand sent models down the catwalk in footwear custom designed by fellow Spanish shoe designer Paco Gil. The Miami presentation of the fabulous collection marked the kick-off of the Spaniard’s “American Project” and plans for the line’s expansion.

fashionfromspain.com writes:

“Dolores Cortés’s summer 2011 collection can be divided up into four clear-cut trends: safari-chic, for urban women; a French bohemian style inspired by the 1950s in acid tones; exotic shades and motifs taken from Australia’s Bells Beach and Denim Western, with a romantic air and vintage influence from 1970s America.”

FORMzine.com writes:

“The flow, the cut, the details, everything about this collection’s cover-ups are perfection, reminding both the fashion industry as well as the customers that it really does matter what goes over your swimwear. With Dolores Cortes cover-ups and a pair of stylish sandals, a bathing suit becomes a fashionable, completed outfit!”
