Although Alessandra Ambrosio was not included in the Forbes' World's Top-earning Models and doesn't have more appearance compared last year, at least she was not totally away from the spotlight. The soon-to-be-mom will appear on the cover of Arena magazine June 2008 issue.

For the mag, she had done sexy and racy photo shoot. The photos were obviously shot before Alessandra she got pregnant - as you can see, there was no baby bumps.

By leily on May 1, 2008 in Beauty | 0 Comments

People today are always looking for ways to fight aging of skin and have vibrant, young looking skin without resorting to risky or expensive medical procedures. Day spas are a great place to go for, pampering, relaxing, turning back the hands of time, and coming out at the end of the day feeling vibrant, young, refreshed and wonderful. Many different spa treatments help aging of skin, with some for the entire body, while others are for the face only. More men than ever are now going to spas for aging of skin treatments on their face because, like women, they want to look their best and retain their youth for as long as possible. Facials help to slow down the ageing of skin process in both men and women by helping to moisturize dry skin and remove dirt trapped under excess oil along with dead skin. A good facial leaves your face feeling very soft to touch, natural looking, and reduces the aging of skin signs. Deep message facials are wonderful for toning and firming the face why enjoying a relaxing time of pampering.

Microdermabrasion has become a very popular aging of skin treatment because it helps people retain or achieve a youthful appearance and complexion. There are at-home microdermabrasion treatments, spa treatments, and professional treatments performed by dermatologists that range from inexpensive for home treatments to more costly for professional ones. Aging of skin occur as people get older, because the skins cell renewal slows down and skin has less collagen and elasticity resulting in sagging tissue and wrinkles. Microdermabrasion stimulates and amplifies the skins renewal process, which results in less noticeable lines in facial areas around the mouth, and eyes due to more collagen production.

Along with basic spa facial treatments that make a person feel and look wonderful, there are other aging of skin treatments available such as pedicures, manicures, and body massages. A body treatment and massage helps soften your body skin, exfoliate, and make you feel relaxed and younger. Everyone deserves a little time for him or her to not only fight aging of skin but also enjoy a day of pampering, which helps a person's outlook, skin, and body. Many spas' combine services for their clients so some people may decide to have a facial while others prefer a facial and massage, and still others combine many services or go for the whole package. The day of your aging of skin treatment at the spa, relax, drink a lot of fluids and get ready to enjoy a relaxing, wonderful time.

SS08: Marc by Marc Jacobs »

By leily on May 1, 2008 in News | 0 Comments

For the last few seasons (ever since they got into the "grunge" look), I have not been too impressed with the Marc by Marc Jacobs collection. This season though I am delightfully surprised! The collection is preppy and retro-chic. My style but with a refreshing twist!
This collection makes me WANT to buy something orange, and that is a difficult feat. I absolutely detest orange. But I am willing to break the rules for these two dresses. I just LOVE the orange dress with the fancy bow tie (though I cannot quite imagine what occasion that would be appropriate for) and the shirt dress is casual and chic.
I don't even mind being obviously Marc by Marc Jacobs. By now, many would recognize this very distinct geometric shirt dress (left) as Marc by MJ by now (along with the orange bow-tie dress above) but I still like it. I am really impressed that the color seems so "old" and yet, the whole look is still so young! At first glance I thought this blue printed dress (right) was really cute. But if you look closer, can you tell that it actually has Marc Jacobs written all over it? I thought it was pretty cool that I couldn't tell at first. But now that I can, I think that kind of ruins the dress. Shame.
The definition of retro chic. I love how they mixed the flirty print and color with such a "proper" design. It is both refreshing and stunning. Though it is a bit too much for me. I prefer the more subtle purple dress (right). I absolutely absolutely adore this dress. It is simple, vibrant, youthful and fun. I've tried it on actually, but the fit of the bodice is a bit off. Maybe if I got it tailored.........
More fun casual dresses. I love the block print (right). Its so off and cute at the same time. And the cut of the heart leaf pinafore dress is just adorable!
The neckline and the prints are awesome. I especially love the neckline of the blue shirt (left: it is very ladylike, but the print makes it fun!) and the subtle pinstripes on the yellow shirt (right).
These two are my favourites of the collection, because I think they are great investments. I'm a great believer in outerwear and these two cardigans are perfect to carry around with you this summer- just in case of freezing a/c temperatures! I waaaaant the white one (right)! It is very Chanel-esque with a youthful touch.
A cute jacket is ALWAYS a good buy. You get the most mileage out of them cause you can just throw it over any outfit- and this one is so chic and stylish! (Though it may be a bit too heavy for the summer). And this pinstripe shirt with the ruffles is just darling!

Now if only I can win a free shopping trip for Marc by Marc Jacobs this season!

Marchesa Fall 2008 Collection and Its Architectural Inspirations »

By leily on Apr 30, 2008 in News | 0 Comments

Marchesa's Fall 2008 Collection paid tribute to Queen Elizabeth 1. It is mainly composed of evening gowns and cocktail dresses. The colour palette was mostly black, purple, red and ivory, with the one pale blue one-shouldered gown. Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig used ruffles, rosettes and lace.

The gowns were gorgeous, aren't they? But I'm sure you'll love them more after visiting Trendinista blog. Jill Sherman, author of the blog, studied the designs of Machesa's gowns and she was able to compile photos of the gowns with spires and pagodas that somehow looked like them. You'll never believe this, at first glance you'd probably think that the gowns were inspired by these architectural designs.

Flair Magazine April 2008: Hollywood Dreams with Flavia Oliveir »

By leily on Apr 30, 2008 in News | 0 Comments

Have you seen the April issue of Flair magazine? Well, it has a spread featuring model Flavia Oliveira with an editorial title "Hollywood Dreams". Flavia portrayed an image of an aspiring model who seeks stardom, finds rejection, romance, publicity, boredom and personal epiphanies along the way.

In these photos, you will see Flavia smoking Nat Sherman Fantasia cigarettes in bright, spring-colored hues and holding a bottle of whisky. Do you consider cigarette and whisky as glamorous and fashionable accessories to an outfit or they're just self-destructive ?
