Monday Photo: Some Girls Never Stop Being Happy And Dandy...

I start this new week with an optimistic thought (for a new week obviously contains the word "new" which suggests prosperity and optimism; also, a new week starts with Monday and I for one hate Mondays. A bit of a contradiction, eh?) and therefore I attempt to make you all see the bright side of your lives, live every moment as it is all you've got left and fall head over heels in love with fashion and beauty. This photo happens to subscribe to all the psychological theories mentioned above, so keep calm and be flashy! Like this fetching girl here... called Coco beautiful Rocha!

Spring 2011 Campaigns: Animal Instincts

Nowadays animal-print is so damn accessible and its many forms and colours are so various that one can truly admit that, in terms of prints, this is the most wearable trend ever. Go to a gig wearing a pair of animal-print trousers, everyone will fancy you. Go to the beach wearing an animal-print swimming suit, boys will go mental. Go to your grandma's 78th birthday dressed with a leopard dress, she will think you are retro. See? Puuurrrrfect! You will love Just Cavalli and Roberto Cavalli's new spring campaigns.

Film Reviews: On The Edge (2001)

 "You can never really know what was going through a person's mind at that exact moment. If they survive, they'll never tell you. If they succeed, all you can do is spend the rest of your life feeling guilty. Your only concern can be for the people they leave behind. They're the ones to look out for."

   Since we all high-school boys and girls are currently on holiday and it's only the beginning of the cold February, the best thing to do is to stay indoors and watch lots of good films, read books and stay online on Facebook. Yes! So, I've come across this (apparently) anonymous film called On the edge, which is set in Ireland, somewhere near Dublin, and gives us the possibility to admire the talent of 3 particular actors: Cillian Murphy, Tricia Vessey and Jonathan Jackson. The film focuses on 3 major themes: suicidal attempts, love and friendship.

   With a plot revolving around such powerful human emotions, you will definitely discover new things about yourself whilst watching the film. The story begins with Jonathan Breech (Cillian Murphy), a 19 year-old boy, who is sent to a psychiatric institution after trying to kill himself. There he meets Rachel (Tricia Vessey) and Toby (Jonathan Jackson) and their friendship sort of develops throughout these 3 months they are required to spend in the hospital. Things sort of complicate when Jonathan falls in love with Rachel and becomes best friends with Toby, who also likes Rachel very much. The story becomes even more interesting when all 3 discover that the reasons for which they are in a mental institution are quite identical. If  Rachel decides upon her loved-one and if this "insane" love triangle can make it to the end, well, watch the film and you shall see.

   For I'm so much into this sort of subjects (mental illnesses, obsessive feelings and stuff), I strongly recommend you to download On the edge and to watch it hundreds of times 'till you finally get what it is really going on behind those sarcastic remarks and intelligent questions. I reckon you will develop some sort of passion for it :-)

Spring 2011 Campaigns: Trés Sophistiqué

Just by observing the title you can figure out that this is Chanel, Miu Miu, Gucci and Elie Saab's special spot. You can say whatever you want, but when wearing those classic blazers from Chanel, those colourful silk shirts from Gucci or, maybe, a dress from Elie Saab, you always engross everybody's attention. Guaran-f****n'-teed! So don't be afraid to go back to classicism and elegance. It works every time!

Spring 2011 Campaigns: White&Pure

White has always been associated with innocence, kindness and freshness. Until this new season, no one has ever thought of white as a privilege of looking sexy and, at the same time, simple. Natural. Truth is, camel, black and white are this year's highlights when it comes to colours. Take a look over Chloé, Versace and Calvin Klein's proposals and find out what suits you best: a blazer, a minimalistic dress or a trench?
