After the initial enthusiasm and primal joy of meeting Kate Middleton, now Duchess of Cambridge, the world started to dish on her style and makeup. Normal, you’d say. I agree. However, some comments and observations seem to be pertinent, regardless of my admiration for her wedding moment, truly royal, and for her wanting to keep [...]

We’ve been trying to teach our daughter the wonders and joys of playing with dolls. It seems to be a failed mission, that one, since all she cares about are cars and constructions with her brothers. Oh well, more dolls for me, then, huh? So in that spirit, and with the secret, sacred hope that [...]

Gorgeously looking Natalie Portman was one of my favorite Red Carpet appearances for the Golden Globes 2011. Her choice of outfits is hardly dull or disappointing – she always opts for something (at least) interesting to look at.

I don’t know about you, but I think it’s a great photo and it almost makes me forget the Gisele cover-disaster. Viktor and Rolf collection has found a brilliant way to integrate in reality through Naomi. If it wasn’t for the Sorrenti photographic genius, this picture would’ve been completely grey-ish and that’s it. But that [...]

Just a short one to say I was surprised by myself regarding these Viktor and Rolf Dolls. I really like them! Normally, with that porcelain face and horror-movie-air, they would’ve creped me big time! Only now it’s different… They’re like the zombie side of fashion, a way to serenely watch the lifeless, stiffness and twistness [...]
