Jay-Z in Vanity Fair

In November's "Vanity Fair" issue we can find Beyonce husband. I don't know if you like him, but I'm a big fun of his music. Both of them are like a golden couple. They are so successful in what they are doing. 

The pictures are done by a great photographer- Mario Testino. I have to say they are very simple but they look great!

Do you like them? Let me know if there are any more JAY-Z fans up there?

Fashion week- pretty interesting pictures

Fashion week is all about glamour, amazing outfits, great accessories. Many models have to wear really, I mean really high heels and it happens that they are not able to walk in them. Well every girl knows that this is not the easiest job. But I have to say those pictures are hilarious. Check them out

Kate Moss- not that perfect anymore

Hi All,

I found recently Kate Moss pictures from her holiday with her hubby Jamie Hince. She is being slagged by the media that she doesn't look like a top model any more. Also she's being blamed for the word she said that became a motto for all the girls who were dieting "Nothing tastes as good as skinny". Everybody know that models world is not about glam and fun. It's a hard work and yeah we heard many stories about girls starving themselves. But we need to know that Kate didn't make them to starve, every girls has a brain and knows that if you want to stay in a tip top shape you have to exercise and eat healthy. 

I bet Kate regrets saying those words now, but you now what, she is still on top. She has good and bad days like everybody has, but the point is she can still bounce back and she always end up on top.

What do you think about that? Did you ever diet to look like a model?

I can say that I look at some of them and I'm thinking, damn this is not fair. But I'm moving my butt and I'm going to Bikram yoga and I'm saying no to another chocolate yogurt. Our life is about the balance. We can eat what we want, but we need to stay active

Why Did H&M Drop Cara Delevingne?

Grazia Daily is reporting that H&M is distancing itself from It model Cara Delevingne who's fronted H&M campaigns in the past, as well as walked in H&M's first runway show. The decision comes after a photo (see below) of Delevingne surfaced last month showing the model dropping a white plastic packet of powder (allegedly drugs) in front of her home. The brand has a notoriously hardline policy when it comes to drugs, even firing the seemingly untouchable Kate Moss from its roster during her own cocaine scandal. After the paparazzi incident, H&M told The Daily Mail they'd be reviewing Delevingne's story: "We have a zero tolerance policy towards drugs, and this also forms part of our advertising policy. Our team will evaluate the evidence over the next few days. If the story is true, then we will take action." 

Picture: google images

A spokesperson from H&M seemed to confirm to The Sun that a decision was reached. "She is not a model with us and I think there was a misunderstanding that she was the face of H&M. We just used her for the show." They also mentioned that there was "no particular reason" to use Delevingne in the future as well.

Hmm it was never confirmed that it was a drug in that tiny bag, but she has to remember that she got to the top very quickly and she can be at the bottom pretty quickly too. Hope she learnt her lesson and she will be a "good girl" from now on. She's been compared to Kate Moss; well I think that's a bit too much; but if I were her I would be flattered. Kate is such an icon

So what do you think about Cara?

OMG!!!! Beyonce ditches her trademark long tresses for an edgy pixie crop! You have to check that out!

Hiya All,

Beyonce Knowles stunned fans on Wednesday as she unveiled a drastic new hairdo. 
The superstar singer who is known for her trademark honey coloured tresses has finally ditched her long weave for an edgier short pixie crop.
To launch her new look the  31-year-old songstress posted pictures to her Instagram account showing pictures of herself gazing in the mirror.

The Crazy In Love singer can also be seen from behind feeling the back of her head where her long hair used to be.
Dressed in a short sleeve printed T-shirt and gilt choker, Beyonce shared another snap showing her pixie cut from the front - slightly combed back and parted the side, complete with dark roots.
Beyonce has been a diehard weave wearer for years - and will no doubt have thought long and hard about taking this new direction. 

See her previous look

what do you think. I'm so surprised that she did that. She never made any drastic change. I'm still a bit shocked. What do you think. I'm not sure do I like it. 

Kisses

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge left St Mary's Hospital on the 23rd of July just after 7pm with their baby son and spoke briefly with the waiting press.
Here are few pictures of the happy family:

The Duke joked about the abundance of hair on his son's head: "He's got more than me, thank god!" He added that he thought the baby had inherited his mother's looks - "No, no, I'm not sure about that," interjected Kate.

"He's a big boy, he's quite heavy - we're still working on a name. He's got a good pair of lungs on him," said the Duke of his new son.

The Duchess told the press that she was feeling "very emotional" adding: "Any parent would know what this feels like."

Congratulations to both parents. We're waiting for the name of the new prince:-)

Royal Baby fever!

THE Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have announced the birth of their first child, a baby boy. The child was born at St Mary's, Paddington hospital in London yesterday at 4.24pm and weighed eight pounds and six ounces. The Duke released a statement to say that he "couldn't be happier".

Following a formal press release from Kensington Palace, the birth was then officially announced on an easel outside Buckingham Palace - as per royal tradition - and stated, "Her Royal Highness and her child are both doing well." The Duchess will now remain in the hospital overnight.

Here is grandparents statement:

"Both my wife and I are overjoyed at the arrival of our first grandchild," read a statement on behalf of Prince Charles and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall. "It's an incredibly special moment for William and Catherine and we're so thrilled for them on the birth of their baby boy. Grandparenthood is a unique moment in anyone's life, as countless kind people have told me in recent months, so I am enormously proud and happy to be a grandfather for the first time. We're eagerly looking forward to seeing the baby in the near future."

Congratulation to the Royal couple. I'm only hoping that Kate didn't have a difficult delivery. I wish them first of all piece, as now they need the time to spend with their Baby Boy. All the best xxxx

Debenhams aims for ‘positive body image’ with non-airbrushed lingerie snaps

High street giants Debenhams have stopped using airbrushed photos of models posing in their lingerie ranges in a bid to promote more positive body image in its customers.
The store’s latest campaign has banned any form of digital enhancements to its snaps, promising to keep in every freckle, wrinkle and skin blemish.
In doing so, they are aiming to help shoppers feel more confident about their own looks rather than wanting to conform to an unrealistic ideal.
‘We want to help customers feel confident about their figures without bombarding them with unattainable body images,’ said the retailer’s head of lingerie Sharon Webb.
‘As well as being positive from a moral point of view, it ticks the economic boxes as well,’ she added. ‘Millions of pounds a year are spent by organisations retouching perfectly good images.

‘As a rule we only airbrush minor things like pigmentation or stray hair and rely on the natural beauty of models to make our product look great.’

Here are some examples of airbrushing. 

Debenhams has now called upon rival retailers to follow suit.
It is not the first time they have taken a stand against airbrushing techniques, having previously banned the practice from their swimwear campaigns.
The company has also worked with disabled models and Paralympians in its bid to promote more positive images of natural beauty.

Their decision comes in the wake of the row which erupted after H&M attempted to digitally alter shots of Beyonce  modelling their latest swimwear range.
The singer was reportedly furious after discovering that her natural curves had been altered in the photos to make her appear slimmer.

The originals were later restored and used in the store’s worldwide advertising of the range.


I wish we would finally see the real girls on the posters. What do you think?

Congratulations Kim & Kanye

I never been the  fan of the Kardashian's clan, but this is such a  happy moment to with both of them Congratulations.
There were so many articles criticizing Kim for what she wore during the pregnancy. Well a lot of the outfits weren't the best, but she had a good moments. Today I'd like to bring few outfits that I liked. I'm going to be a Mum myself, so I know how hard is to get used to to your changing body and try to keep up wearing what normally you would wear. 

So here are some of the outfits that made Kim glow and look feminine during her pregnancy.

She's wearing Cedric Charlier dress on above picture.

I think this is the very casula outfit, but works so well. It hides the belly and heels give that womanly look. Tank top is by Chloe, the cardigan/ shirt is by Belfast, leather trousers by Balenciagi and black heels by Gianvito Rossi.

Very sexy look! Dress is from Michaela Kors collection and heels by Jimmy'ego Choo.

This is very cute Valentino red dress. She looks very girly in it. 

I wouldn't even say that she's pregnant. I adore that StellaMcCartney dress and another  Jimmy Choo heels.

When I saw her wearing this dress I was like can I have it too??? It's gorgeous, great colour, material and amazing shape. This dress is designed by Lanvin, and heels are by Christian Loboutin.

This is very simple but very elegant outfit. The dress is by Stella McCartney, the blazer is by Valentino and she is wearing heels by Kanye Westa. The bag is from  Lanvin collection and sunglasses by Celine.


Which outfit is your favorite?

The Duchess Becomes A MaxMara Muse

MAXMARA has paid tribute to the Dutches of Cambridge by naming a coat after her. The Kate, a beige cashmere design with a high neck and bow-fronted belt, is available to buy now from the Italian brand's diffusion line, MaxMara Studio.

The design was worn by the Duchess during a visit to Cambridge in November last year, and as a result, sold out instantly. The label then decided to reissue the coat and rename it in her honour - although it's not officially affiliated with the royal family.
In April last year, the Royal Foundation of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry applied to the Intellectual Property Office to trademark the Duchess' royal title - so that one of her official charities could use her name on a range of goods and services, including "clothing, footwear and headgear". It's not yet been confirmed when, or if, such a range will be released - or if it was merely an action to prevent others from releasing products under her name.
"We have been registering our new name and logo in different territories around the  world," a spokesman for St James' Palace said. "As part of that process, we have to choose any categories under which we might conceivably operate in the future. This also protects the foundation against other people using its name illegally. We included clothing in case we choose, for example, to make T-shirts in years to come, for marathon runners, etc."

The MaxMara Studio Kate coat, £875, is available to buy now at House of Fraser.

Hot Gossips: Book with Karl Lagerfeld's quotation & Galliano's television debut

Famed for his acerbic comments about Adele, Pippa Middleton, Greek people, Russian people, dieting, sweatpants, children (we could go on - when it comes to barbed words, he doesn't discriminate), it's no surprise that Thames & Hudson has decided to compile Le Monde Selon Karl - or The World According to Karl in English.
Set to be released in September but available to pre-order now, the book, which is the brainchild of Patrick Mauriés, Jean-Christophe Napias and Sandrine Gulbenkian, will feature 50 illustrations by artist Charles Ameline to accompany the quotes. It has reportedly received Mr Lagerfeld's seal of approval, though he wasn't involved in its production. 

A teaser from bookstore Barnes & Noble gives a taster of what to expect:
"Sweatpants are a sign of defeat. You lost control of your life so you bought some sweatpants." 

"What I've done, Coco Chanel would never have done. She would have hated it." 

"I remember a designer who said that intelligent women don't wear her dresses. Obviously, she went bankrupt." 

"I am a kind of fashion nymphomaniac who never gets an orgasm."

John Galliano’s Television Debut

JOHN GALLIANO will record an hour-long television interview on Wednesday with US talk show host Charlie Rose. It will mark the designer's first broadcast appearance since being dismissed from his position as creative director at Dior in 2011.

News of the television interview first began circulating last month, but was originally denied by the designer's spokespeople. Galliano will film the full one-hour slot with Rose, with an air date yet to be confirmed. According to reports, Oscar de la Renta - a close friend and supporter of the designer - was instrumental in arranging the interview.

Rose is renowned for his simple, intimate show formats - via which many guests have opted to tackle sensitive subjects. Galliano first broke his silence with an exclusive  interview with Vanity Fair, published last week. 


I cannot wait to get my hands on book with Karl's quotation. I bet it's going to be mad. 

Have a good day :-)

31 Rue Cambon apartment in Paris

Who's not dreaming about visiting the famous apartment on 31 Rue Cambon in Paris, which belonged to Coco Chanel? OMG I would die to go there and I would love to have a photo session inspired by Coco's photos. I'd love to see those stairs, on which her models were presenting new collections. I bet it must feel so special and mysterious. She was so unpredictable, she could even decide to change her entire collection a day before the show. It was mad, but I guess it was just perfectionism. 

Lately Ri-ri, all dressed up in Chanel pieces, visited Coco's apartment. She couldn't resist having few pictures done:-) She also got a bit crazy shopping. I have a few private pictures from her visit. I'm so jealous!!!

All pictures are from Ri-ri's instagram.

Enjoy the rest of the weekend. It's hot hot hot in Dublin:-)
