Hits And Misses At The Golden Globes Awards 2013 Red Carpet


Last week, I was surfing the internet and got the chance to see various celebrities gracing the red carpet at the Golden Globes Awards 2013. The event marked several red-hot arrivals to start the Hollywood awards season. I think that some celebrities were looking absolutely gorgeous while some of them fall in the category of the worst dressed.

As far as my pick for
Golden Globes 2013 best dressed is concerned, my first vote goes to Taylor Swift. The actress attended the even in a bold backless Donna Karen Atelier gown perfectly showing her slim figure. My second vote goes to Jennifer Lawrence, who wore a perfect fit strapless ball gown with a belt in sorbet orange designed by the house of Dior. My next pick for the best dressed lady at the event is Michelle Dockery. She wore a stunning gold and white outfit. She was also wearing a gold bracelet and an emerald ring. I think that Anne Hathaway and Naomi Watts were also looking fabulous.

There were also some celebrities at the star-studded event, who needs to give some serious thought to their dressing sense. Halle Berry falls in the category of worst dressed celebrities. Although, she is one of the most sensational figures, still her cutaway printed Versace gown failed to impress me. Sienna Miller wore a dress that I think looked too fussy and old-fashioned for a youthful free-spirited like her. I also place Jessica Chastain amongst Golden Globes 2013 worst dressed. She picked a very low-cut gown in a daring sky-blue colour. I even read somewhere over the internet that she almost came on the danger of falling out of her outfit. My other picks for worst dressed at the event includes Alyssa Milano (wore a very bright outfit) and Rachel Weisz (wore a little too dotty outfit in black).

So, I think that the Golden Globes Award 2013 saw some celebrities picking their most glamorous outfits to serve up the red carpet fashion, while others goes wrong with their outfits choices.

Origins Plantscription Anti-Ageing Cream Reduces Sings of Ageing


I like using natural skin care products and this is why, I admire the products of Origins. It is a worldwide popular cosmetics brand that is known for creating high-performance natural skincare products powered by nature, as well as, proven by science. Two days ago, I came to know about the brand's
Origins Plantscription Anti-Ageing Cream. It is a lightweight moisturiser offering optimum hydration without any greasy residue.

As we age, there are many factors such as sun exposure, diet, stress and heredity that play an important role in contributing to the signs of ageing. I think that Origins this cream is a perfect way to visibly reversing these signs of ageing. Every jar of the cream is infused with 300,000 Raspberry Plant Stem cells. Plant stem cells are equipped with regenerative properties, as well as, can 'self-renew'. Moreover, it also contains African Anogeissus that is the anti-ageing powerhouse ingredient and aids in lifting and smoothing your skin's texture, as well as, correcting the appearance of wrinkles and lines.

Petit Bateau And Carven Co-Collection Available in Singapore


Petit Bateau is the leading French clothing brand famous for high quality designer kidswear. I recently heard the news that the French brand is launching a collection in collaboration with Carven. Carven is another famous French couture house. I think that the first co-collection of these two brands (also available in Singapore now) will be a delight for lovers of French style. The two French brands share a lot of things in common, like both are favorites of the style diva, Alexa Chung.

The co-collection is a perfect blend of quality hard-wearing fabrics of Petit Bateau and elegant shapes of Carven. The collection features classic Carven styles i.e. the attachable collar to wear under t-shirts and jumpers and figure-hugging long-sleeved collar dress. It also includes a few new pieces with patently Petit Bateau touches such as a cute striped bodysuit and a knitted polo shirt that is just perfect for weekend wear.

I especially liked the deep blue dress featuring a small thigh split and pockets that the Petit Bateau Carven joint collection carries. I am sure that women will love to wear the red collar dress that is a more affordable version of the dress, which was spotted on Alexa Chung. What I found most interesting in the collection is the clever twists that are added for updating old favourites. You will be amazed to know that what may seem to you a typical striped polo t-shirt is actually a bodysuit and I am sure, you would not have seen this elsewhere before.

Another item that grabbed my attention were the removable collars, available in three colors – pink, Grey and blue. I think that they are unique and fun to prep up any outfit in your wardrobe.

Repetto Officially Launches in Singapore


Repetto is a ballet shoe company from France. The company was established in 1947 by Rose Repetto n the request son (choreographer and dancer) Rolan Petit. The popularity of the footwear brand reflects from the fact that its clientele include numerous big names such as the Opéra de Lyon, the Opéra National de Paris, the Ballet School of Marseille and Hillary Clinton.

Now, Repetto’s has finally official opened a retail store in Singapore. The store of Repetto in Singapore will carry the brand’s Spring Summer 2013 range of ballet flats, dancing shoes and bags. Some people may find the cost ($299) of a pair of Repetto ballet flats prices a bit high; however, considering the comfort that these shoes offer, the cost seems quite reasonable.

There are many women, who give the credit of taking ballet slippers to the sidewalks from the studio to Brigitte Bardot. She requested Rose Repetto, in 1956, to make ballet-style footwear for daily wear and this is how the comfortable ballet flats were discovered. Today, Repetto has become a worldwide popular brand for designing classic and simple shoes in a spectrum of colours ideal and for wearing everywhere.

The reason of the phenomenal success of the brand lies in its manufacturing process that is called ' le cousu retourné, also known as the stitch and return process. In this process, the sole is sewn inside out before the same is turned back in to give it a seamless connection between the sole and the leather upper; thus, making it perfect to wear.

I Selected Burma As My Next Vacation Destination


I am planning a month long vacation with my family but not able to decide the place to visit. One of my friend told me that he recently spent a quality time with his family in Burma. He told so many things about the country that I decided Burma as my holiday destination. I surfed the internet to know more about the country and its main attractions.

I found that the tourists industry of Burma is growing with every passing year and by the end of 2012, the number of tourists visiting this country is expected to reach the one million mark. It is a country with astonishingly rich culture and stupendous architecture. Burma also has the credit of having two the great man-made wonders of the world, which are Pagoda in Yangon (Rangoon) and Bagan’s endless thousand-year-old temples. Burma is a home to more than 2,000 Buddhist temples.

Most of the tourists of Burma includes businessmen coming to the commercial capital of the country, Yangon. In 2010, the number of tourists was over 7,90,000 and in 2011, there was an increase of 1.27 percent taking the number of tourists to more than 8,000,000. The first seven months of 2012 saw a huge increase of 37.5 percent compared to the same period last year.

As the number of tourists is increasing, the tourism industry of Burma is concerned about the shortage of hotel rooms and the lack of transport infrastructure. Keeping this thing in mind, the country is planning a new international airport near its commercial capital. Moreover, Yangon have also allowed people to convert apartments to hotels that will result in adding more than 500 rooms this year.

I have selected Burma as my next vacation destination. I am looking forward to enjoy a memorable time in the country.

Ray-Bans Launches Limited Edition Aviator Folding Ultra Sunglasses


I am extremely fond of collecting sunglasses. My favourite brand is Ray-Ban that has completed 75 successful years in the field. I have many pairs of Ray-Bans sunglasses. I adore this brand not just because of their trademark wayfarers, but also because I liked the iconic 'tear-drop' shape that have a special corner in my heart. This shape is extremely versatile and looks good on nearly every kind of face shape.

The iconic brand has launched an exclusive folding design with a view to celebrate its journey of 75 years. I saw the images of the limited edition Ray-Ban Aviator Folding Ultra Sunglasses on the internet and they are amazing. I found that the brand's most iconic model has been relaunched in a unique folding design that is dipped in 22 carats of gold. There are eight hinges on the Ray-Ban Aviator Folding Ultra that enables the frame to fold at the temple earpieces (at the bridge and along the temples).

I have already made my mind to buy at least two pieces of these sunglasses. I really liked the idea that I can fold my shades into half so that they can fit easily into the smallest of clutches. Only 7500 sets will be launched all over the world of these sunglasses and will be available in white and yellow. One more thing I want to share is that Ray-Ban also launches the P3 Plus lenses in this collection, which will have features like polarizing filters, anti-reflective coating, colour enhancement and water-repellent system.

So, just grab your favourite pieces from this limited edition range.
