Chris & Rihanna Rumour

Chris Brown has been charged with two felonies stemming from what a police detective describes as a brutal argument between the singer and Rihanna, provoked by her discovery of a text message from another woman.

On another note, rumours from sources close to Rihanna have revealed that not only is she back with Chris Brown, but the two secretly married at P. Diddy's Miami home.

Am i the only one that thinks this is completely ridiculous...

Montreal Fashion Week

Wednesday March 4th, I attended the Ralph Leroy and Myco Anna show. It was my first time at a Fashion show. I am not a fashion show expert however I thought the show was really great. Sylvie Desbois our event planning teacher got us the tickets and told us where to go. As we walked in I noticed where the "pit" was for the photographers which was exactly where it was supposed to be! We made our way in and we were able to be seated; more or less at the center of it all so we had a good view of everthing.
-Starting off with Ralph Leroy at 6pm, I really liked his introduction on the projection screen; I found it caught everyone's attention and was intense and once that was finished the 1st model came out. The music as well was good obviously followed the theme. The colors in the collection were very Flashy and lively. I noticed there were many accessories; hats, bags, necklaces, gloves, etc...
-Once the show was finished everyone had to leave and we went in the cocktail room. It was nicely decorated and gave off a comfy mood; which was good because I found it made people want to have a drink and talk about the show. They were giving out many product samples and magazines; again I don't know if that usually happens but that was a good idea and cool for us! lol
-The second show Myco Anna at 7pm, I really enjoyed and this was my favorite out of the two.
I found the collection was really funky and they had beautiful clothes. There were many different colors and patterns for example, one outfit had different tones of purple and it was all put into one outfit, same for the reds, blues, greens! It didn't look mismatched; it looked fabulous! I found the music was better in this show and the models didn't seem as "tense" as some of the men did; they had that right attitude and confidence. The hairstyles were nice as well, many braides with accessories in them which were matching with the outfits!
Overall, it was a great show & experience, I had a lot of fun and will definetely go to the show next year!

Jaga Jazzist

I think everyone should check out a band that I really enjoy. They are called Jaga Jazzist and they are an experimental / instrumental jazz group from Norway. I think they would be useful for a fashion show if needed.

Vicky Christina Barcelona









I spent the whole weekend watching movies and 'Vicky Christina Barcelona' was by far my favourite. I'm traveling to Barcelona this summer with my best friend and this movie made me VERY excited! My boyfriend wasn't very happy about it though lol (watch the movie and you'll understand why :))





Here's a bit of the plot : Two girlfriends on a summer holiday in Spain become enamored with the same painter, unaware that his ex-wife, with whom he has a tempestuous relationship, is about to re-enter the picture.





Scarlett Johansson was amazing (what's new!) and you can't get any sexier than Javier Bardem and last but not least, Penélope Cruz. She's brilliant.





A.M.A.Z.I.N.G MOVIE! I highly recommend it :)

plus size line by Simpson


We've all seen Jessica Simpson recently in magazines, critics have pulled out their claws to the once sexy Daisy Duke. Jessica has been critized for looking more curvy than usual and that doesn't seem to bother her, because she just announced that she plans to design a clothing line for full figured women.

Now I ask myself, are all those unflattering photos of Jessica a marketing strategy for her new line? She told In Style (march issue) that now she knows how difficult it is to find hot clothes in the plus size section and that she wants to remedy the situation.

We all know Jessica Simpson is also one of the celebrities with the worst taste in fashion, so I think its really funny that she wants to create a plus size line eventhough shes been critized for her body shape and for her awful selection of outfits.

Maybe she wants to be an inspiration for full shape women, or maybe she just wants to justify her "eating her problems" and not working out.

Anyways I think that women with full shape bodies should have a more classy and sofisticated inspiration like Melissa "Emme" Aronson, Crystal Renn or even the winner of ANTM Whitney Thompson.

Habiller les gentlemans

Ralph Leroy, touche à tout, il est mannequin, styliste et est connu pour être un designer de bijoux, il présentera sa première collection pour hommes à la semaine de mode ainsi qu'une collection de bijoux pour ceux-ci.

Pou ma part, c’est la première fois que j’entends parler de cette personne. Je trouve toujours intéressant de connaître ce qui se passe du côté masculin. Depuis peu, les hommes sont de plus en plus sensibilisés à leur apparence tant au niveau esthétique que physique alors le vêtement ou les accessoires complète le tout.
