Top Spring Looks From Gwyneth Paltrow
March 26th, 2012 by kpriss
You all know Goop. Admittedly, not everyone is a fan of Gwyneth Paltrow, so her foray into social media isn’t popular with every-fashion-one and their respective dogs, but I’m sure, deep down inside, everyone can come forward and say that they read the Goop newsletter. At least once?
Well, anyway, last week or the one before that, Gwyneth was all fashionable and cute in a stylish newsletter talking about her key looks for Spring Summer 2012. The French have their weekly Elle issues, we have Goop. Right? So if you were to pick some really fashionable pieces for this season, this could be your perfect guideline!

If you have $60.000 to spend, you can consider buying the world’s first backpack! Made in the USA in 1882, the first backpack was made by the French – Canadian Camille Poirier, in Duluth Minnesota as the Poirier Pack – Strap (now known as the Duluth Pack). Currently for sale on eBay, I’m sure the precious item will quickly find its way to a collector’s heart. And home. For this is a piece of history, not just a backpack.
Dido & A.R Rahman If I Rise
March 26th, 2012 by kpriss
How was your weekend? Amazing, I trust? It’s time for a new week, are you ready? Let’s take it slowly, one step at the time, let the new week grow on us.
I tried to find a good moment to share one of my favorite songs ever, performed by two very talented artists who always make me feel peaceful and fill my heart with shining light: Dido and A. R Rahman. I think that now it’s a good day to listen “If I Rise”. It’s one of the Original Songs nominated for an Oscar award last year (2011) for it’s from the original soundtrack of Danny Boyle’s “127 Hours”. So if you’re not familiar with the movie, be warned, the following video is definitely a spoiler. If you don’t want to know anything about “127 Hours” previous to actually watching the film, just close your eyes and let yourself carried away by the wonderful music!
It’s been a while since our last Dakota cover, huh? Well, it was worth the wait! Dakota Fanning’s Wonderland April May 2012 cover is dreamy! Cedric Buchet photographed the absolutely charming and talented Dakota for Wonderland’s main pictorial “Portrait of a lady” and the editorial team did a great job choosing this image as their issue cover: it really makes me curious about the inside goodies! (isn’t that wee mouse a sneaky genius style move?)

Karl Lagerfeld’s Home. New York Apartment
March 25th, 2012 by kpriss
We talked about Karl Lagerfeld and his home habits the other day. We even saw what Lagerfeld’s bathroom looks like (now I know what real clutter means!) and we read his opinions about home-y stuff. At least when it comes to his Paris home.
How about if we took a tour of his New York Apartment? Duh, of course he has one! Der Kaiser is a cosmopolite, he’s based anywhere and everywhere in the world! So here’s his $6.6 million apartment (that’s the price he paid when he bought the place in 2006. I’m sure that if he wants to sell it, the label “Lagerfeld lived here” is enough to double the initial price!… find out more about right after the jump; click here for the gallery!)
Eva Longoria may be a Desperate Housewife, but she’s looking really charming and pretty in the new promotional image for her second perfume, EVAmour. Bergamot, Blossom, Amber, Red Currant, Rose Petals, Tiger Lily encapsulated in a new line of fragranced cosmetics from Eva Longoria. As opposed to her first scent – Eva, this one is definitely more complex and more layered, with real connection to who Eva Longoria really is.
Would You Buy Lancome Rose Stem Cell Cream?
March 23rd, 2012 by kpriss
Permanently searching for the next big thing in cosmetics and beauty products, Lancome steps up the beauty game with a new miracle product promise. Next month, Lancome is launching a very special regenerating cream.
Absolue L’Extrait, Lancome’s miracle cream, contains Rose Stem Cells. 2 million of them. Stem cells have become the next medical heaven a while back, when their therapeutic value has been constantly highlighted since the 60s. In short, the stem cells are biological cells found in any living organism, taking care of the normal functioning of the entire system, also repairing and replenishing.
Rose stem cell actives contained in the new Lancome beauty elixir should reportedly enhance the natural barrier of the skin and protect it against external aggressions (such as UV and pollution), also should boosts the regeneration of the skin and increase its vitality. Sounds like the promise of eternal youth. And all that with just a small container of face cream. Working against time, do you think that’s really possible?
