New York Fashion Week Spring 2012

Heya!

Unfortunately not all of us are capable of going to Mercedes-Benz New York Fashion Week. No matter how bad we want to participate, the majority can't go.

But fortunately these brands we love and follow by Vogue or any other magazine and the internet are every year becoming more virtual and easier for us who live on another continent or simply doesn't have the luck to receive the golden ticket inviting you to the event.

Anyway, like I was saying every year the brands we want to see presenting their latest designs want to reach as many people as possible via internet (obviously). They live stream their runway shows some of them on Facebook so we can watch as well.
But in this case, of NYC Fashion Week, there's this channel on Youtube (www.youtube.com/LiveRunway.com) which streams live almost every show of the respective day. I think it's the coolest thing ever!
The Fashion Week started on 8th but with school I didn't get a chance but today's Saturday so everything changes. ahah.

I got to see Lacoste presenting their new Creative Director along - Felipe Oliveira Batista - with super cute things. I bet they all are comfortable as usual.
Next was Jill Stuart. Colour! When the show ended and I thought about the clothes the first thing I remembered was an ice cream counter. The colours were neutral but made a statement. It's definitely a great collection. The dresses seem very light...
Oh, and fyi Ms. Emma Roberts was front row.

And because I'm the worst person in the world I missed the Vivienne Tam show :(

But an amazing fact about this channel is between the live shows they repeat the previous ones, really great.

Now I waiting for Charlotte Ronson to start.

This is fun!
They are repeating Vivienne Tam right now! Whoo hoo!
Oh, but Alexander Wang is almost starting... Damn! So many things to see... Grrr!!

A Cinderella Story: Once Upon A Song

Hey!

I watched it only because I had seen the other posterior 2.

The first movie came out in 2004 and featured Hilary Duff, obviously I watched it. Back then I already was a fan of hers.

The second came out in 2008 with Selena Gomez. This one was not on purpose. Was airing on tv and I watched it.

Now, the third with Lucy Hale I watched by my own will because I thought "why not see this one as well?!". 

Well, my favourite has to be the first. 

I explain why, because this one seems like was made in a rush. The classic-based-story seems to pass it by running. And since when was a boy as a brother? But ok I accept that change. and this sister was not bad in the worst side of the word! I'm just saying that they change what doesn't needed to be changed. 

And the second was in my opinion better than the third. Because the characters seem a little more possible to exist in real life.

But ok, was a fun. I can tell it was fun.

Which one is your favourite?

School + Fashion's Night Out

Hi!

Today was a big, long day. I'm exhausted, super tired but not sleepy which is incredible because I only slept half an hour last night.
So was my first day back to school. I was expecting something worse but it was not good. Just spoke to one guy because he asked me the time and to lend him my pen. There's a cute boy, though.
Was good but wasn't good. I just want to never come back but I have good feelings about the school. It's not like I hate it because people treated me bad or anything. I just don't want to come back, tomorrow.

After school, me and one of my friends who I know for several years and haven't seen each other for months went where? Fashion's Night Out! I'm so happy to be able to say "I made it!". I have no words to describe how much fun we had.
My favourite store was probably Prada because they showed the new Fall/Winter 2011-2012 collection and it's great! I loved it! As usual. And was cool to touch and see the creations with my own eyes and not by Vogue magazine.
Marc Jacobs was pretty fun as well, they were giving these little "Flirty Flower Cuffs" with a huge rose from Oh, Lola!. Super cute.

I got lucky enough to be given the vibrate pink bracelet that gives you all-pass to the V.I.P. section and that was... Interesting. The room was full of people talking, smoking, drinking, eating, dancing... I don't know, anywhere you'd look were human beings. I spent there probably 30 minutes because the food had disappeared when I got there, they had only wine, the music was not captive enough for me to stay and talking to people you see everyday on national tv is awkward.

On BCBG there were 3 male models bare-chested dancing while showing off their "six-pack" wearing only jeans and... Wait... Jeans and flip flops. I thought "Seriously?! BCBG doesn't have one pair of shoes for them?!". They weren't cute at all if you're wondering and was so fake that was stupid. They weren't dancing. They were just shaking their butts. Let me tell you, that isn't sexy and it's not dancing.

I bought some things like the event's shopping bag which the money goes to an institution that helps women with breast cancer. Bought a ring on YSL, obviously haha and other things on Fashion Clinic. Hell yes that was fun! For me I'd do it everyday except maybe I'd took a few hundreds of people, I never had seen so many people. But, again, was fun!

I know today was also NYC and Berlin's FNO, did you have so much fun as I did? Tell me about it.

P.S. - Thanks for keeping your fingers crossed. It worked ;)

The Art Of Getting By

Hello!

I wanted to see this movie - The Art Of Getting By - for along time, since I saw the trailer a few months ago on Youtube.

First of all I thought it was something different.

Now, about the actual film, I think I can relate so much with Freddie's character which is insane. Emma's on the other side not so much, I mean, everyone clearly can see he likes her and she sleeps with the only "friend" he had, seriously?! Who does that to a boy "complicated" as George?! I think that part is a little unfair but I can live with that...

I was expecting something dissimilar, like I said, so was kind of disappointing, but still is a great movie. Watch it, you'll learn something, I'm sure.

Get Him To The Greek

Heya!


Today's film was Get Him To The Greek.

With Jonah Hill and Russell Brand as the main characters.

Funny as hell! These two make a great, great team.

I hadn't any expectations and turned to be such a very well time spent.

The storyline isn't complicated at all - a rock star with drugs and alcohol issues who must be taken to the Greek in a limit of 3 days. P. Diddy won't be satisfied if he gets late. That's the main thing although that's not the point, the point is to see how a normal guy meets his idol who is a big mess and the comedy in it.

But go rent it or go to iTunes and watch it, I'm sure you will laugh out loud ;)
