1. It is socially acceptable to wear a skirt that reveals your knee as long as you wear an enormous hat.2. Women who don't wear amazing hats are fools.3. Smile for the cameras in a skirt suit.4. The flower girls in white are so darling.5.  Silhouettes generally tend to be all over the place, but not as unpredictable as those huge structures inside the Abbey.6. If you dress like Daphne Guinness but are not Daphne, it might be tough to pull off a bizarre hat. Nuttiest wedding ever!OMG. Horns!...

The Royal Wedding Isn't a Racing Form...

If you too are planning your wedding, please be a label whore and make that dress French. It will minimize my nail-biting on your behalf. In the meantime, I'll place my bets on Kate Middleton. She is such a pretty pony. Will Cranston be the other"lucky lady" at the Royal wedding?What designer will she wear to her wedding? Here are my thoughts...1. I am going to guess that Kate Middleton has opted for a relatively unknown designer. This leaves my top pick in a muddle, but a frontrunner among the...

High Five: Lush Tiny Hands

Fear not the small hands!I spun by Lush this afternoon in SoHo, and one of their cute shop girls raved about a new product, Tiny Hands. She took my own hand without asking for permission and rubbed it with the flat side of the make-believe, uh, "hand." At first, your skin glistens and feels wet, but she explained that in a minute, it dries matte. True! Not only does it leave skin smoother and prettier, but the not-very-girly floral scent is just right. I think a round of applause is in order!XOX,Charlotte(P.S....

Is The Royal Wedding Tacky?

A deluxe edition costs 59.99 pounds. So gauche!Royal wedding fever is sweeping the globe, but in my tiny apartment, far away from Westminster Abbey, there are a few details that still do not sit right with me.1. One Word: iTunesSelling your wedding vows on iTunes? I would sooner have my unwed ring finger chopped off than do such a thing. This is just tacky. I feel that a declaration of enduring love, even on a global stage, is still a sacred act. Hardly a deeply religious sort myself, I still could...

Hello, My Little Chickadees

Greetings! I celebrated Easter at a friend's apartment yesterday. She and her roommates had cooked a huge brunch with lots of fruit salad, blueberry muffins, savory quiche, and mimomas.  We stuffed ourselves and broke open many Kinder Surprises. (I got a plastic puppy that fit into the tiny rectangular coin pocket in your jeans, that you never know how to use.)Everyone was wearing pretty floral dresses, but I guess I forgot about that part. Oops. Anyway, I had on a pretty embroidered top...

EOS Lip Balm in Lemon Drop spf15

I came across this super adorable cute lip balm through a make up video in Youtube. Few of the gurus I subscribed to are in love with EOS Lip Balm. I am pretty much easy to influence when it comes to cosmetic ;p Plus recently my lips is not in so good condition. =(A little facts about the company. The company is called Evolution Of Smooth (I guess that is how they came up with EOS?) They have all kinds of products, not only lip balm ;)Available in 5 flavours!!! Too bad I only have...

A Pot of Perfume to Start My Day

Greetings darlings,Been a long while since we last chatted. Oh, a whole 20 or so hours! In the meantime, I had a solid night's sleep and many cups of tea.About two weeks ago, I went to a perfume lecture and absconded with a bottle of Belle en Rykiel perfume.  The scent is a light fragrance, sweet and powdery, with a "sparkle of romance" as they say. Anyway, this perfume is charming for the season, and can be worn with a pale linen dress or, I'd say, a sleeveless, crisp checkered blouse and...

Get Down to Earth

Photoshop CS5 Extended software.  So many of the images we see circulating on the internet and in magazines and newspapers are manipulated using Photoshop.Some countries have even proposed banning the use of Photoshop in the media, but I believe that would be a form of censorship. Still, it is worthwhile to consider that so much of what we see is actually unreal or slightly false.Compare what you look like and what your friends look like to an advertisement in a magazine. Then, remind yourself...
