Must Have Shoes and Sandals

One of my weaknesses are shoes (sandals). Whenever ever I like one, I'll never have the "inner peace" until I own it. It's funny because sometimes I tend to have nightmares about them.

I enjoyed the article posted on Net-A-Porter. It was entitled as "Sole Searching", an "IT" list of some must have shoes and sandals for women who are always on the go in terms of fashion. It also include some fashion tips and tricks on how to flaunt the shoes and sandals. Here they are:







Funny that a pair of really nice shoes make us feel good in our heads - at the extreme opposite end of our bodies. ~Levende Waters

Last year, Kate Hudson teamed up with celebrity hairstylist David Babaii to endorse a new line of hair care and styling products, "David Babaii for Wild Aid". The products contain natural ingredients and are free of sulfates, chemical preservatives, animal products and animal testing.

This year, Kate and David had a photo session in Africa with the lions and will donate 10 percent of their proceeds to the global wildlife conservation organization, WildAid. WildAid campaigns worldwide to end illegal wildlife trade, works with governments and communities to raise awareness and stop the buying of endangered wild animals and products.

Here's the sneak peek of the making of the new ad campaign in Africa. In this "In the Wild" photoshoot, the pair celebrated “the nature in beauty and the beauty in nature.”

Fashion Bloopers By Claudia Schiffer and Sarah Jessica Parker

Celebrities are not perfect for they are humans too. But in the world they lived in, mistakes are not easily forgotten especially if those moments were captured by paparazzi's cameras.

Let's talk about Claudia Schiffer, a supermodel and mother of two. She posed for Chanel's maestro (Karl Lagerfeld) photoshoot in New York's Central Park when she stumbled to the ground. She looked stunning in elaborate spats and a beret but falling to the ground appears be a big joke.

This scence is like a dejavu of what happened to Sex and the City actress Sarah Jessica Parker as she slipped at the top of a flight of stairs during a glamorous shoot for Vogue with famed photographer Annie Leibovitz.

However, what's important is how they stand up after the big fall.. :D

Adriana Lima On GQ Magazine April 2008 Cover

To all Adriana Lima's fans out there (esp. the guys), you may want to get the April 2008 copy of GQ magazine.

The Brazilian hottie and Victoria Secret’s model bares all for the cover of the said magazine. The issue includes an interesting interview, where Adriana reveals exactly what it takes to date her.

Here’s an excerpt:

Get jealous…
I like jealous men. I love jealousy. I do. Everything has a limit, of course, but once in a while you have to stand up and say, “I love this person.”

…but not violent.
“It’s never okay to defend my honor by beating someone up. You have to control yourself, even if the other person is drunk and crazy. Just say, “Let’s go home. Let’s leave.” You don’t have to say a thing to him. I never have to see that person for the rest of my life. I don’t like fights. I don’t like aggressive people.”

Just remember, you’re really dating the waiter.
“A man needs to be polite, not just to me but to everyone. I watch that. How does he treat the waiter? How does he treat the coat-check girl? How does he treat the driver?* Don’t give orders to these people. You don’t own everything around you. Treat people with respect.”

Your first move should be no move at all.
“Sometimes people are too aggressive. I need time to realize exactly who you are before I go out with you. Don’t be pushy. Don’t pressure me. “When can I see you? When can I meet you? When can we go out?” No. Take your time. When I’m ready, I’ll make the move.”

America's Next Top Model Cycle 10 In Their Spilled Paint Faces

A few weeks ago, I posted about the America's Next Top Model Cycle 10 contestants in their beef panties. Now, I'll post another entry about their photoshoot during the Episode 10 last week.

This time idea was a bit more tame than the meat shoot. The girls were taking close-up shots with paint splattered all over their faces.
