Letters to Juliet : Review

Gary Winick’s new movie Letters to Juliet, plays of the typical romance movies where boy meets girl, loses her, and wins her back just in the nick of time. Sophie (Amanda Seyfried ) travels to Verona, Italy with her fiancé for a pre-honeymoon get away. However, since her soon to be husband plans to open a restaurant, his plan all along is to travel to Italy to taste wine and different foods.
After a few days in Verona, Sophie comes across this shrine to Juliet (Romeo and Juliet) where women across the world leave letters for advice. In the process of discovering the wall, she always finds four Italian ladies who call themselves the Secretaries of Juliet. These women personally respond to each and every letter on the wall.
When offered to help respond to a letter, Sophie discovers a touching letter from a 50 year old women. Two days after she responds, Claire (Vanessa Redgrave), arrives with her grandson Charlie (Christopher Egan), to discover the person who finally responded back to her letter and to hopefully find her lost love .
The three then go on a road trip to find this guy Claire has been longing for. After a few quarrels, between Sophie and Charlie, they begin to fall for each other. They both forgot the fact that Sophie was still engaged to be married.
Disgusted by her actions, Sophie rushes home to her disheartened engagement in New York. But, she doesn’t stay for long; she realizes her heart should be in Italy with Charlie.
The end to letters to Juliet could have been more thought out. It was the ending of all love stories, the ending that you could guess, the ending that you just get tired of. The movie ended with Taylors swift single, “ Love Story” and the couple Kissing.

America's Best & Worst "Health" Drinks

David Zinczenko writes about the best and worst health drinks. He labels, snapples, SoBe Green, Arizona Rx Energy, and Smoothie King Peanut Power Plus Grape as the worst unhealthy drinks.

However, most people do not look at the nutrients list. The thing that catches their attentions is commercials and the package label.

For example, I did relay for life and stayed up all night. How did I possible do that? I drank Monster energy drinks. I did not really care, about if it was healthy or not. The thing that matter was that it tasted good.

Journey’s End: John Galliano On Showing Dior Resort in Shanghai

Christian Dior premiered his 2011 resort collection in Shanghai, where he mixed New York, Paris, and an exotic theme. Dior said that he wanted to create a modern, young and fresh energy that could represent his collection.

However, he captured everything except for modern. The clothes were great when it came to present, but his choice of models were poorly. All the models that walked the runway, were slim and tall, with a Barbie look.
Now a days, thin is just not a part of the world. If he wanted to be more modern, he should have picked models in all different sizes. (I understand designers want models to be like a size 0 but really? This is discriminating against all young girls. )

In the fashion world, models represent the ideal of beauty. When the truth is, no one is actually that size. In my opinion, this just lowers young adults self esteem, making them feel unhappy about their weight. (Bulimia and anorexia is not the key to happiness). So, live your life the way you want and not how the media wants you to. ( :

Response to Mark Holgate: Favorite Proenza Schouler look

A girl who surfs, recently walked in Proenza Schouler spring collection fashion show. She came right from surfing and throw on her outfit, while her hair remained wet but classy. Mark Holgate blogged that this show was a " Surf Couture." She wore a tie-dyed long sleeve tee-shirt underneath a playful dress. This outfit is magnificent, since we leave close to the shore, many people go surfing when the weather breaks. Why not, leave the beach in a outfit that looks fashionable? This urban scuba outfit just shouts surfer, but also it can be an elegant wardrobe to go somewhere after the beach.

Flirty Styles for the Spring

Fashion is not just a name we throw around every day. It is a symbol of uniqueness and popularity. This 2010, spring is bringing a bright, bold, and spontaneous clothes the public. This season designers are playing with color and are doubling up on animal prints and patterns.

Years ago many people would have thought putting two different prints together would look tacky and clash. But, I am here to tell you it is a new year, new you, new style. So, stop dressing safe and make a statement.

How about wearing a skinny cut button down shirt? Or what about a lacy top? These shirts give you a feminine offbeat charming look. But, that is not the only thing in style. Minidresses, extremely bright neon pants and a cropped jacket. It gives you a simple delicate flirty look. You can sport these outfits anywhere, to school, to dinner, to parties and etc.

What colors to get these outfits in? This 2010 spring, designers choose numerous colors that would bring out the best in the consumers. The colors vary from bright red, blue, pastel, and neutral colors. (Neutral as in colors that are similar to the shade of your skin.) So, mix match until you find a good looks good on you.

Along with these marvelous outfits, you can get accessories. Lots of bangles and animal bracelets on your wrist is hip. Bow headbands also, these headbands make your hair stand out and pop. But, when purchasing a headband make sure its a oversized bow but not to kiddish.

As for the shoes go, high heels, flats, and sneakers are in style. I feel that they will always be in style, simply because you need shoes. Just make sure you get shoes that fit your comfortably and you are able to walk in them. Believe me, not having shoes is disgusting, dangerous, and pretty much uncomfortable. If, you are looking for shoes that goes with every outfit, my best guess is to purchase high heels or flats. I say this because wearing sneakers with a dress is horrific. It looks repulsive and it is not setting a trend, so do not do it.

Now, that you have the latesst flirty trends, you are ready to go to the store and buy a spring wardrobe.

Response to Mark Holgate: Mark Holgate’s Favorite Altuzarra Look

In most of the spring collections, you will find more dresses, and less suits. The temperature in many places are starting to increase and girls as well as women are starting to show more skin. Fashion designer Joseph Altuzarra’s collection took a bold statement to the runway, when he introduced suits. Not dressy suits, but casual every day suits. Mark Holgate blogged about women just not wearing dresses but now and then wearing a couple of jackets. He’s not saying to go out and find the heavy’s jacket you can wear. No, instead just put on a nice thin fitted jacket. Definitely in New Jersey where the weather is not constant. For example, one week its 80 degrees and the next week its in the 50s. So, instead of getting sick in this weather, why not throw on an easy to grab and go jacket? You can wear it to school, to work, or even to special events. In may opinion, its worth the money.
