Karl Lagerfeld must have read and loved one of the most famous tales by the German author Thomas Mann, Death in Venice [1] (the original title is Der Tod in Venedig, first published in 1912), because Chanel Resort 2010 collection heavily pays homage to the decadent and romantic atmosphere of Mann’s tale. The history of [...]

The long-awaited filming of Burlesque [1], Christina Aguilera’s first movie, have finally started, so her public outings are rarer than before. She was recently spotted out in Los Angeles with her husband: they went to Osteria Mozza, one of her favourite Italian restaurants. What hits us is her brand new haircut. I must admit I [...]

I’m still locked in: even if the temperature is gone, I’m feeling so badly, with all my bones terribly aching. I spend my days in bed or playing with my daughter or trying to do some chores at home, and nothing more, but my mind is constantly at work. I’ve always had a thing for [...]

My husband, my daughter B and me are all ill with (swine?) flu, so I don’t have much time to spend at the pc, since each and every part of my body aches so much that I cannot help but lie down on my bed. This doesn’t mean I’ve skipped my weekly appointment with Gossip [...]

All the fashion blogs have recently written about Bad Romance, Lady GaGa’s latest music video directed by Francis Lawrence. The usually daring fashion choices of the American artist have become more and more extravagant and impressive, and this can be seen in the video: GaGa’s stylist, Nicola Formichetti, and the Haus of GaGa team have [...]
From the Valley to the Upper East Side: Lily Van Der Woodsen’s Style Cross-Over (3.09 – They Shoot Humpreys, Don’t They?)
Posted in lily van der woodsen's style, tagged gossip girl, kelly rutherford, lily van der woodsen, they shoot humpreys don't they? on November 12, 2009 | 2 Comments »
After watching the latest episodes of Gossip Girl, I wasn’t really satisfied with the plot. In comparison to the first two seasons, it all seemed bland, dull and a bit boring. These were my impressions until They Shoot Humpreys, Don’t They?, the ninth episode of the third season, which has given us something to talk [...]

Lorelei Lee, the adorable character played by Marilyn Monroe in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes by Howard Hawks (1953), had an obsession for diamond jewellery and she was lucky enough to marry a her very rich fiancè, who surely fostered this passion. Nowadays girls still love diamonds, but sometimes they can also be pleased by equally glittering [...]
From the Valley to the Upper East Side: Lily Van Der Woodsen’s Style Cross-Over (3.08 – The Grandfather Part II + Pumpkin Patch Special)
Posted in lily van der woodsen's style, tagged gossip girl, hermès, kelly rutherford, lily van der woodsen, matthew settle, pumpkin patch, the grandfather part II on November 5, 2009 | 10 Comments »
What is happening to Gossip Girl? I enjoyed the eighth episode of the third season – The Grandfather Part II – because the plot seems to make things more exciting, thanks to the rekindled rivalry between S and B and to William Van der Bilt’s intrigues. The downside is that Lily is shown in one [...]
Dreams Fly on the Wings of (Temporary) Tattoos

I’ve always loved tattoos, because I think they can be amazing works of art. Unfortunately, many people get (most of the time, horrible) ink-works just because they want to follow the herd, not because they are really aware of what permanent tattoos mean. In any case, tattoos are becoming more and more mainstream, and you [...]
