Start spreading the news

If you loved the narrative style of its predecessor Paris Je'taime (easily in my Top 5 favourites), chances are you will adore New York, I Love You - an anthology of twelve short films, interwoven with the common theme of finding love, packaged into one glorious motion picture. The film is directed by 17 filmmakers, including Zach Braff and Scarlett Johannson, and Natalie Portman also lent a hand on scriptwriting and directing. It stars a killer ensemble cast - Orlando Bloom, a blonde(?) Rachel Bilson, Blake Lively (this should be interesting), Natalie Portman, Christina Ricci, Drea De Matteo, Hayden Christensen and more! I think it is a fabulous concept and wait in anticipation till its release on 13 February 2009 (what an ideal Valentine's Day movie), and then there is Shanghai, I Love You being released in 2010!

Not so impressed with Juergen Teller's pictures of M.I.A in her campaign for Marc by Marc Jacobs.. Love her sass nonetheless, even though these are seriously unflattering. Btw .. Marc Jacobs' MySpace is back up, showing off his hott yoga moves with his boyfriend and such - hectic.

Happy Birthday to me!

Oooooh and what an exciting one it was! I wasn't expecting to be quite this revoltingly spoilt and lavished with gifts and attention by all my gorgeous friends and wonderful family and boyfriend. I had a High Tea to celebrate with all my best girlfriends (who all looked super fine, can I just say) - a very special afternoon indeed, and my Mom treated me to a HEAVENLY day at the spa .. hot stone massage, seaweed body wrap, facial, pedi, was just SUPERB lovelies! Oh, and a car! Miss Vinyl Tutu now has WHEELS baby! (piccies to come)
My gorgeous (and very sneaky) boyfriend surprised me with pink balloons and lillies waiting for us in a cosy little Italian restaurant and showered me with beautiful, thoughtful gifts - a platinum locket (in the same cut as my ring he gave me for my 20th), a red Moleskine diary (I am OBSESSED, will have to post on this!), a jewellery box with pink Swarovski crystals for all my trinkets, and ... get this ladies.. a complimentary makeover at Yves Saint Laurent! Oh my oh my never in my wildest dreams would I have expected everything to be as fabulous as it was - Thank you to everyone who made it so special!

Wearing OPI's Just Groovy on my twinkle toes right now ... love*

Yes bloglings, I'm a very, very blissful kitten today!

Sweet Cheeks


For Summer I'm a big fan of natural makeup - groomed skin & brows, dark tinted lashes, a natural pink flush, lip balm .. and that's it! I love MAC's creme blush but was looking for something that's easy to blend, really melts into my skin and stays put all day, which is why I ADORE BeneFit's PosieTint for giving my cheeks perfect pink dewiness.. and it also looks lovely on lips. Application is so simple .. the formula is quite thick but glides on super silky and dries quite quickly so blend, blend, blend! Zoe Foster from FruityBeauty says we must apply cream/gel cheek products "in the shape of a Nike symbol, You start the symbol on the apple (fleshy part of your cheek) and then take it down, and then up and under the cheekbone, right back to the top of your ear. Repeat on the other side of face. Blend any edges with a clean foundation brush or clean, blush-free fingers. This part: "under the cheekbone" is crucial, because if you apply your blush above your cheekbone, you drag your whole face down, and that ages you." Pretty! Adorable! Try it!
