canari who?

Walking through any mall, you can see the flow of the upcoming season`s splashes of color, making every store seem magical. anything seems possible, with fluorescent tights and colored jeans, making it easy to develop your own creative style and be unique with accesorizing. i went above and beyond the call of duty of fashion, went nuts to find the newest colors of nail polish. black and white nails, are way cool, yet they have out lived their time on the five finger regime.

so i went on a rampage, bought colors galore! proud of my purchases, i spent a night pampering myself. i decided to open the first bottle, canary yellow. its funky, its fresh, its vibrant, and it was just what i was looking for! but unfortunetly the next day, i felt a little unsure of myself. to my surprise, everyone hated it! "jess it looks like baby puke! ewww why yellow...why this and why that!" i was shocked to hear these things, yet i felt original and i secretly knew that within a few weeks time, i was not going to be the only one with yellow nails! but now that its been a couple of days, people have been growing on it and instead of the original "ewww" ive been hearing, ive been getting "wow i loveeee it!"

so when it comes to being original and making new statements, dont be afraid, and just stick to being confident! its the best way to come out a winner, and to look good while at it ;)

SKINS

I hope some of you have been watching this show!
For those of you who haven't seen it yet.
It's like a British Degrassi with Drugs, Sex and no after school special feeling... so really the only similarity is that they're in high school.
I started watching it during the Christmas break and worked my way through season 1 and 2 ridiculously quickly. I was heart broken when there were no more shows for me to watch. I had gotten so involved.
Their lives are so dramatic and they usually have such great clothes...
About a month ago season 3 started but the characters were entirely different aside from one... I was very skeptical but I watched the first episode anyway and once again I'm hooked.
So start watching! If you're anything like me you'll laugh and cry and make that aww sound from time to time...

Twenty8Twelve

Sienna Miller. You either love her or you hate her. Personally, I absolutely adore her. Her movies, her love affairs and her stunning reinvention of the boho style…one word: HOT. Might as well throw in SEXY while I’m at it :)

For the first time ever, Sienna Miller made her debut at London Fashion Week this past weekend. Sienna and Savannah Miller's Twenty8Twelve Fall 2009 Show had been a highly anticipated event at London Fashion Week. It had a star studded front row with designer pal Matthew Williamson, proudly watching his longtime fans take their turn in the limelight. The clothing was wearable in a London chic way, with plenty of denim, cropped jackets and a rock chick style. There were a few thigh skimming mini dresses in eye-catching colors, but otherwise, the girls relied on a dark color palette and remained true to Sienna's own individual style. From leather jackets to dark hot pants, you can imagine seeing Sienna in any of these catwalk ensembles, either on the streets of London or at a party.

The Twenty8Twelve line was launched in September 2007. It is a sisterly collaboration named after Sienna's birth date, the 28th of December. They already have 2 stores in London and sell worldwide (recently at Holt Renfrew). The bottom line is that they are talented. It's a relief that they won’t need to rely on hype to make it!

Best & Worst dresses at the Oscars!

So i normally never watch the oscars other than just the red carpet event before. Yesterday I actually watched half, It was quite entertaining. The opening act was actually pretty funny with Hugh Jackman and Anne Hathway. What I enjoyed most was looking at their dresses, The ones that stuck in my head were Miley Cyrus, Beyonce and Vanessa Hudgens. Miley's dress was from designer Zuhair Murad and Vanessa's dress was from Marchesa.

Miley was voted one of the worst dressed but i personally thought it was beautiful.

Macaroni Bar

So last night I had my friend's bday party @ Macaroni Bar on St-Laurent. So you can imagine how fun it was trying to find parking, I was getting dizzy go round and round. Just when I was about to give up to Valet, I found a spot right in front, YAY! lol Neways so we were about 24 people having supper the reservations were at 10pm, please don't ask why they made us put the reservations so late with the amount of people we were. So having a few laughs and drinks, we started eating at around 12:00-12:15. Yup thats right you can imagine the place started to fill up and you are trying to eat while people bump into you every 2 minutes!! Next thing you know we are finished eating, trying to pay while they are clearing the tables and well taking them away.
The place was soooo packed I could not move and I am not kidding, I was stuck in the same spot for about 45 minutes. I literally had this guy rubbing his ass on me, I don't know apparently he thought I enjoyed that!!! LOL Anyways I also met some of my other friends there and it took them 45 minutes to get the bottle of Vodka they ordered; that is how bad it was!!! Anyways, coat check, the washrooms and the kitchen are all in the same spot so you can imagine how fun it was getting my coat. Another 45 minutes to do that. The music they were playing was good, but it was way too packed, I was a little disappointed in that. So yea that was my Saturday night!

Rihanna's battered face!

Rihanna's battered face after her alleged fight with boyfriend Chris Brown. This is unbelievable!

Law enforcement sources told TMZ Rihanna's injuries were severe.

They said there were two "huge contusions" which swelled up on both sides of her forehead, along with "a bloody lip and nose,"

One of the law enforcement people said the contusions "look like an MMA fighter or something ... looked like she was growing devil's horns."

Rihanna may have suffered bite wounds on one of her legs and arms, but one source close to the situation said he doubted that is the case.

Chris Brown has been booked on a felony criminal threats charge. If the district attorney files the case, domestic violence charges could be added.

Aliss

J'ai décidée de vous parler du livre "Aliss" de Patrick Sénécal, je suis certaine que plusieurs d'entre vous l'ont déjà lu, moi même je crois que je suis rendue à ma ...5 fois peut-être! Voilà, l'histoire d'Aliss, c'est en fait à la base un remake d'Alice aux pays des merveilles, mais en beaucoup moins joli! C'est l'histoire d'Alice, une jeune adolescente, qui en a marre de la banlieue de Brossard et qui désir découvrir la vrai vie, à Montréal. À partir du moment ou elle descend à cette fameuse station de métro, une station qui n'a pas de nom et ou ces habitants ignorent complètement ou ce quartier est situé, l'irréel commence. Elle fera la rencontre de personnes qui sortent de l'ordinaire, comme Verrue, un vieillard qui est tout le temps gelé qui se considère comme étant un cocon, qui devriendra bientôt papillon ! Sans oublier Bone et Chair, un duo spécial, passionné par la torture du moyen-âge, en quête de l'âme, l'un la cherchant dans les os et l'autre dans la chair, qui sont tous deux au service de la Reine Rouge. Aliss désir se rendre au bout d'elle même, devenir la surfemme, et rencontré cette fameuse reine. Bref le livre est remplit de scènes de sang, d'érotisme, et surtout de situations tout à fait imprévisible, dans ce quartier ou tout est permis, absolument tout. Il n'y a pas de règles de conduite, tout le monde est tout le temps sur la drogue, la débauche! À lire !! Le livre ce vend 15,95 $ , un très bon investissement puisque vous ne pourrez pas vous abstenir de le lire qu'une fois! Julie
