Heidi Klum for Vogue Germany


The upcoming issue will be entirely dedicated to Heidi Klum. There are pictures available on vogue.de and I would normally show them, however I don't speak, read or write german, so I couldn't figure out which ones exactly will be in the issue...stay tuned.

YES! YES! YES! I'm gettin that khaki fever

4 amazing designers to create their own pieces for GAP...I'm loving it!




Gap Design Editions is a limited edition collection in which CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund finalists (who this year were Alexander Wang, Albertus Swanepoel and Vena Cava’s Lisa Mayock and Sophie Buhai), reinterpret a Gap classic according to their own aesthetic. Gap will soon be unveiling a special collection and ad campaign which will be all about khaki.

Tips

Wear sunscreen.
If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it. The long-term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists, whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience. I will dispense this advice now.
Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth. Oh, never mind. You will not understand the power and beauty of your youth until they’ve faded. But trust me, in 20 years, you’ll look back at photos of yourself and recall in a way you can’t grasp now how much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really looked. You are not as fat as you imagine.
Don’t worry about the future. Or worry, but know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubble gum. The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind, the kind that blindside you at 4 p.m. on some idle Tuesday.
Do one thing every day that scares you.
Sing.
Don’t be reckless with other people’s hearts. Don’t put up with people who are reckless with yours.
Floss.
Don’t waste your time on jealousy. Sometimes you’re ahead, sometimes you’re behind. The race is long and, in the end, it’s only with yourself.
Remember compliments you receive. Forget the insults. If you succeed in doing this, tell me how.
Keep your old love letters. Throw away your old bank statements.
Stretch.
Don’t feel guilty if you don’t know what you want to do with your life. The most interesting people I know didn’t know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives. Some of the most interesting 40-year-olds I know still don’t.
Get plenty of calcium. Be kind to your knees. You’ll miss them when they’re gone.
Maybe you’ll marry, maybe you won’t. Maybe you’ll have children, maybe you won’t. Maybe you’ll divorce at 40, maybe you’ll dance the funky chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary. Whatever you do, don’t congratulate yourself too much, or berate yourself either. Your choices are half chance. So are everybody else’s.
Enjoy your body. Use it every way you can. Don’t be afraid of it or of what other people think of it. It’s the greatest instrument you’ll ever own.
Dance, even if you have nowhere to do it but your living room.
Read the directions, even if you don’t follow them.
Do not read beauty magazines. They will only make you feel ugly.
Get to know your parents. You never know when they’ll be gone for good. Be nice to your siblings. They’re your best link to your past and the people most likely to stick with you in the future.
Understand that friends come and go, but with a precious few you should hold on. Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography and lifestyle, because the older you get, the more you need the people who knew you when you were young.
Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you hard. Live in Northern California once, but leave before it makes you soft. Travel.
Accept certain inalienable truths: Prices will rise. Politicians will philander. You, too, will get old. And when you do, you’ll fantasize that when you were young, prices were reasonable, politicians were noble and children respected their elders.
Respect your elders.
Don’t expect anyone else to support you. Maybe you have a trust fund. Maybe you’ll have a wealthy spouse. But you never know when either one might run out.
Don’t mess too much with your hair or by the time you’re 40 it will look 85.
Be careful whose advice you buy, but be patient with those who supply it. Advice is a form of nostalgia. Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it’s worth.
But trust me on the sunscreen.

Love Songs

Anjulie "Love Songs"

Love songs and limousines
Wishing wells and make believe
Disco balls and dancing queens
I fall so easy

Rich guys and candlelight
Telling me the things I like
I'm too young and they're too right for me

I fall so easy for cheesy things in life
Sad, sad movies make me cry
Pretty people I admire
I used to hate

I fall so easy for the stupid little lines
Hollywood and sunny skies
Fancy restaurants with three forks and knives
I fall so easy

Until you came my way
Turn my clouds to white from gray
Showered me with pink champagne
I let go so easier

That girl I used to be
Cynical and heartbreak free
Confidence exude in me now


I fall so easy for the stupid little lines
Hollywood and sunny skies
Fancy restaurants with three forks and knives
I fall so easily in love 


Love Songs - Anjulie

Yowza!

Once upon a time

EGOtistical


Beyonce's new video "Ego"
-I don't know about y'all but I am tired of Beyonce not wearing any pants and doing dance routines in series of 3's. She used to come up with new shit for every video...I'm just trying to figure out why all of the sudden she is being so repetitive.

The Moment I Held My Breath For

Gossip Girl Finale

Chuck: "I love you, too."
Blair: "Well that’s it then. But can you say it a second time?"
Chuck (between kisses): "I love you. I love you. I love you."chuckblair:  Chuck: I love you, too.  Blair: Well that’s it then. But can you say it a second time? Chuck (between kisses): I love you. I love you. I love you.
(It was at this moment Nana and I literally jumped on the bed, high-fived, hugged, almost cried and definitely screamed: completely elated. Such a pivotal moment of love)
-Oh how we wish for a Chuck/Blaire romance-

Leave it to the French

A look at tightrope walker Philippe Petit's daring, but illegal, high-wire routine performed between New York City's World Trade Center's twin towers in 1974, what some consider, "the artistic crime of the century."

Ok so some people might think I'm ridiculous

Yes I do love Twilight, yes I read all four books (in 6 days) and yes I am so utterly and over-the-top excited for this sequel to hit the big screen so that Nana and I can go watch!!!!! 
The date is official 
(I AM SO JUICED!)
New Moon: The Movie

this post is for my sister...
