7 Deadly Styles

Details magazine lists down The 7 deadly fashion, style, and grooming choices that could be the last mistakes you ever make. I kinda agree with everything but the skinny jeans. I think they're cool and will be around for awhile, thanks to BALMAIN, Dior Homme and Burberry.

1. Super skinny jeans

2. Tying your tie really tight

3. Full body tattoos

4. George Hamilton looks

5. Dirty fingernails

6. Obsessively texting or talking on cell phone

7. Smoking

Tom's Favorite Shoes

Does Tom Cruise owns just one pair of shoes. The guy whose net worth is around $250 million (according to this site) wore the same pair of shoes everywhere - the premiere of his new movie "Knight and Day," out and about with Kate and Cameron. And not to mention - Tom Cruise is 5' 7" Cameron Diaz and Katie Holmes both are 5' 9" (plus they were on 3-4 inches heels). I'm just saying... Photo source

Dilemma

Separated at Birth

Dave Nemetz from Yahoo TV blog made an interesting comparison between the award-winning period drama "Mad Men" and MTV's trashy reality show "Jersey Shore." Here are the 8 reasons why he thinks so...

1. Both are set in a bygone era.

2. Both feature chauvinistic men pursuing multiple women.

3. Both have a charming leading man who uses an assumed name.

4. Both have characters who know how to cut a rug.

5. Both are dealing with the aftermath of a messy breakup.

6. Both are setting fashion trends.

7. Both have a spunky girl who's bounced back from adversity.

8. Both are starting over this season.

Happy 10th Anniversary

When I got my very first BALENCIAGA - Work Bag, I was not sure it would be a classic or just a brief trend. Now I know.... "The First" BALENCIAGA bag was introduced in 2000 by Nicolas Ghesquiere and became an instant classic and a MUST HAVE for every IT girls (or guys). To celebrate the 10th anniversary of the "First bag" and the "City bag", Balenciaga has released an animal print pony skin version, which will be available this month... and of course, they are limited editions. The bags will be exclusively available at BALENCIAGA boutique on, 542 West 22nd Street for $1,595 - First bag and $1,795 - City bag.

As you may know, I love to collect quotes from people which I think they're pretty inspiring. I recently found this blogger who has similar interest in quotes. His blog is called "Lead Singer of a Rock Band" and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Trailer: Inception

In a world where technology exists to enter the human mind through dream invasion, a single idea within one's mind can be the most dangerous weapon or the most valuable asset. Starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Ellen Page; directed by Christopher Nolan.

Visionaire: Tribute to McQueen (Updated)

Visionaire # 58 issue called "SPIRIT" is a tribute to Lee Alexander McQueen. Not much of the detail has been revealed, only the contributors list (such as Nick Knight, Lady Gaga, Steven Klein, Mario Testino, and more.) They're now taking a pre-order and the issue will be available in June.The magazine will have a limited run of 1,500 copies with a retail price of $295. Each issue comes in a case designed by the McQueen studio and wrapped in a metallic brocade from the spring 2010 collection.

Updated: The issue was printed on paper embedded with wildflower seeds. When planted and watered, the pages would blossom (but who will be crazy enough to plant this collector item ??). The case is wrapped in a McQueen metalized brocade from his Spring/Summer 2010 show.

Blooming in Dior

It's so obvious that John Galliano got the inspiration for Christian Dior Couture Fall 2010 from flowers - from the set to the shapes, the patterns and the colors of the clothes. I love them all, especially the first two dresses which look like petals floating on models' body. SOURCE

Is it bad that I found this movie - "Easy A" - interesting ??? Just the shirtless scene of Penn Badgley is a good enough reason.
