Miranda Kerr Spanish Vogue September 2010

Have you seen Victoria's Secret Angel Miranda Kerr on the cover of Spanish Vogue September 2010 issue? She looked stunning and I love her fashion styles for the magazine spreads. The inside pages of the said magazine shows Miranda Kerr in chic spaghetti-strapped dress and vibrant lime green one-piece bikini.

Julianne Moore Controversial Bulgari Ads

The first batch of Julianne Moore's Bulgari Ads was released last January. I didn't heard any violent reactions for the ads back then. However, just recently, I read a news article from Telegraph that the guardians of decorum in Venice said that a billboard of Julianne Moore who posed naked with Bulgari handbag and two lion cubs is "inappropriate".

Fashion News,Ad Campaign,Louis Vuitton
The latest "Core Values" of Louis Vuitton features U2 front man Bono and his wife, Ali Hewson. The couple wore clothes from Edun, the clothing label that promotes trade with Africa. The tote bag that has been carried by Ali was co-designed by by Edun and Vuitton.

The latest Louis Vuitton Core Values ad was shot in South Africa where Bono and Ali disembarked from a small airplane. Carrying a “Every journey began in Africa” tag line, this ad will appear in September on daily newspapers and in October on fashion magazines.

Saying goodbye is never easy

Today is the last day of August. I guess I have no choice but to say good-bye to summer. I always find it hard because I never want this season to end. What my summer was about...

The Mediterranean... What's not to love about this picture?


Waking up to this view in the south of France. The trees, the morning sun, the fresh air, the pool and the sound of birds singing...


The refreshing drinks (they're all non-alcoholic, by the way!). The one in the middle was the most delicious watermelon cocktail!


Outdoor festivals and desserts (here: crepe with Nutella).


Discovering nature with the family. The boys built a dam / useless bridge across a stream and I built a stone path, which led from our little picnic mat to the edge of the water. I really got into it and was busy for at least an hour, collecting stones - it felt strange but good to concentrate on something like this! (do you know the feeling?) 


And simply enjoying those warm, sunny days.


I will miss you, summer! 

p.s. I wanted to post more photos but had trouble uploading them. I've been having quite a few problems with blogger recently (including google friend connect). Anyone else?

Chanel fall collection 2010: Enigma, Inimitable Intense, Paradoxal


I finally went to pick up my reserved goodies... and I must say, I'm rather pleased with my latest Chanel purchases.

I picked up the Enigma (19) eyeshadow quad without even swatching it, which (thinking about it now) is usually a silly thing to do but I wanted it. That's a good enough reason, right?


* * *

I also got the new Inimitable Intense mascara, this simply being the technologically more advanced, more intense version of the already existing Inimitable. It holds the curl all day and gives my lashes a dramatic boost. Yes, I really like it! (and how gorgeous is/are the model(s)? Not sure if it's the same person?)


* * *

And I picked up Paradoxal (509), obviously. It's usually more purple than grey but it depends on the light. I applied two coats. (On the right: with a ham, cheese and mushroom crepe.)


* * *

I got some samples of the Beauté Initiale skincare. Has anyone tried it?
