sunglasses; Hermes bag; Denimology jeans,

Once upon a time, a defiant little rip in the fabric across the knee signaled rebellion; a punk spirit in the fashion atmosphere. Maybe it was actually ripped by climbing a tree or something, but more often than not, daredevils would take a kitchen knife to their jeans and tear away in order to mark themselves as part of the cult movement. Then along came Renzo Russo of Diesel; he was the first designer to create pre-ripped, already distressed jeans, and his empire flourished. There's something seriously cool about making laid-back jeans even more so! Pocketed clothing history aside, in one year alone, fashion commentators will see the rise and fall of multiple microtrends all centred around our favourite wardrobe staple—jeans.
This year has been no different. There’s been the exaggerated turn-up, as sported by Pernille Teisbaek, Susie Bubble, and co. Then there are the Vetements jeans that every fashion editor worth her salt wore to the FROW alongside a uniquely styled Oxford shirt. However, we didn’t expect to see a resurgence of the neatly slashed knee rip, made mainstream by the high street seasons ago.
It looks like this renegade cut is still a firm favourite amongst the fashion elite, even if the look has gone off the boil, so to speak. Yesterday, we spotted Alexa Chung shopping in NYC with knee-ripped jeans, then we clocked Gigi Hadid strolling through L.A. in her trusty denim with, yup, knee grazes. The verdict? It’s not over yet, so keep those distressed pairs at the top of your go-to jeans stash.
 On Gigi Hadid: Karen Walker sunglasses; Hermes bag; Denimology jeans.

flirt to the runway

We thought Jill Stuart brought some undeniable flirt to the runway.  We loved her beautiful choice of pastels and frills.  I'm ready for the date with Mr. Right and the follow-up meeting  the parents with these clothes in my wardrobe.  Not to mention I'm now prepared to go to a refined tea with the ladies.

The Red Carpet face-off...

The Red Carpet face-off...
Left: Amanda Seyfried

When in doubt about red take a lesson from HEIDI KLUM.  

Valentino usually does no wrong.  Model Tanya Dziahileva wore his signature spring 2009 Haute Couture gown well, but the dress did not get a standing ovation on Amanda Seyfried at the Oscar's last night.  It seems as though this young starlet is drowning in fabric.

Whether Heidi chooses to show skin or not she masters the red dress every time.

Oscar at age 81 still attracts the ladies

Leading ladies, Kate Winslet and Penélope Cruz, pose with Oscar's leading man Sean Penn.

Sarah Jessica Parker in a Dior Haute Couture.  Mixed reviews have been given in regards to SJP's gown, but we say keep the sea foam silk tulle.  Her gown created a vision worthy of a fashion fantasy in our books.
Natalie Portman, the effervescent stunner, succeeds again at achieving the wow factor.  In such a slight frame she manages to captivate an adoring eye at every glimpse.  In this strapless orchid gown she can do no wrong.
Miley Cyrus, the ultimate teen-queen, does her fans proud hamming it up on the red carpet, and dressed in this scalloped Zuhair Murad gown.  She looks tasteful and youthful, with some appropriate grown-up hollywood glamour.

Illustration's Talk Fashion

Next was Yigal Azrouël's show. He defines himself through the "high quality fabrics that he uses to drape ultra feminine, modern silhouettes". He is typically sited for having a unique vision. He went from clean, edgy, and somewhere in between this season...

(promenade): Charlotte Ronson's collection displayed her typical feminine sensibility. She mixed it up by showing a powerful, strong woman, while still keeping her feminine edge
I'm skipping ahead...I have had so much fun this week that I have lost track of how many events I should have told you about, but I can't wait to show you the stunning dress Michael gave me to wear in LA! You saw me in his tweed suit that I am wearing to all of today's events. I just love Michael Kors. I think he has a good philosophy about today's fashion industry. He said, "“I’ve been through recessions before. We started the business, what, 29 years ago, and times were tough then. You’ve got to keep going, offer great value and fabulous clothes that women really want to wear.” ...and that's just what he did this season. He had a certain practicality about his line, but he introduced a lot of fun colors and exciting pieces to keep things new, fresh and upbeat.
I'm really excited to wear my new dress sometime soon!

very white teeth

Many of us want to have a good smile with beautiful white teeth. Beyond the basic lifestyle tips, like avoiding smoking, drinking too much coffee and brushing subject themselves to three sessions a day, what techniques are both safe and effective?"In case of staining food 'type coffee, tea, tobacco, it is necessary to conduct a thorough descaling followed by polishing," says the French Dental Association (ADF). Most often, scaling and polishing enough to make them shine to your baby teeth. However, the ADF can "propose whitening toothpastes" to use in alternation with the usual toothpaste for maintenance. " Be still vigilant and always ask your dentist about choosing the product.However for some, the discoloration may be more pronounced. In this case, the dentist, after scaling, can realize a clarification. To do this, "it will use hydrogen peroxide-based products to try to get a clarification."

It offers several solutions:
    The so-called outpatient technique. "From a footprint of dental arches, we proceed to the implementation of flexible plastic gutters. They will be used to impregnate the teeth of a carbamide peroxide gel (containing hydrogen peroxide) in the home ";
    Technical chair. In this case, the dentist-surgeon uses the largest concentrations of gel but in a much shorter period of time. "If we want stability, it is preferable to continue treatment chair for a few nights in outpatient."The first results should appear in eight days. Note however that removing tobacco, coffee and tea is imperative. "In all cases, these treatments can be conceived as gums and teeth healthy," says the ADF. "Finally, it is reasonable not to make rash promises, because the bleaching can lead to insufficient or inconsistent results especially for patients waiting too."As for the famous smile bars, there are also particularly vigilant. Bleaching is a matter for the dental procedure in itself. In general, if you want to whiten your teeth, always consult a dentist. It will even inform you about the grandmothers remedies.

Sur les trottoirs que dans les salons

Le piège du luxe

Les difficultés économiques amènent ces filles dans une telle impasse qu’elles prennent la décision d’abandonner leur entourage. Toutes partent donc avec un objectif précis, mais peinent à arrêter une fois qu’il est atteint.
C’est en tout cas ce que constate R.G., la manager du site web bemygirl.ch: «Certaines arrivent à gagner plus de 1000 francs par jour, dit-il. Elles atteignent donc très vite une somme qui leur permettrait de vivre confortablement dans leur pays. Mais elles se laissent griser par l’argent gagné rapidement et peinent à décrocher.» A l’en croire, certaines se font piéger par la consommation de produits de luxe ou par des opérations de chirurgie esthétique.

Une grande famille

Bon nombre d’agences romandes ont saisi ce filon espagnol porteur. Les grands quotidiens comme El Pais ou El Mundo contiennent d’ailleurs régulièrement des petites annonces proposant aux femmes de tenter «l’aventure helvétique». Etant donné que la plupart d’entre elles ne parlent pas français, c’est l’agence, ou le salon, qui s’occupera de faire leur promotion et de recevoir les appels des clients intéressés.
Logées généralement en groupes, elles se soutiennent et tentent de gagner ensemble un maximum d’argent, notamment en se mettant en scène dans des vidéos érotiques afin d’appâter les clients. Cela dit, Anne Ansermet-Pagot tempère ce tableau idyllique: «Tout n’est pas rose pour ces filles qui prennent des risques importants , car elles ne comprennent pas la langue et elles sont parfois prêtes à accepter trop de choses pour gagner leur vie!»

Ne dites rien ma mère

Moi, je veux un garçon plus grand que moi, comme ça, j'aurais l'impression d'être toute petite dans ses bras, et puis, je me sentirais protégée. Je veux un garçon jaloux et possessif, je veux qu'il prenne soin de moi, qu'il m'écoute quand je parle même si je parle beaucoup. Je veux qu'il ait ce regard, vous savez, le regard qui ferait que je me sentirais belle et importante à ses yeux. Je veux que, quand on s'embrasse il caresse ma joue et passe sa main dans mes cheveux, je veux également qu'il soit gentil et attentionné. Je veux un garçon qui me complète, avec qui j'aurais une grande complicité, qui saurait tout de moi et vice versa. Je veux qu'il rit de mes blagues même si elles ne sont pas drôles, je veux qu'il aime ma timidité et le fait que je rougisse à n'importe quel moment. Mais surtout, je veux qu'il m'aime, oui voilà qu'il m'aime comme un fou.
