Merry Christmas Eve

Hey everyone! Merry Christmas Eve! (To those who celebrate.I don't want to offend anyone or assume you all celebrate Christmas.) Have A Wonderful Day !

The Hunger Games!

A review of the BOOK series: The Hunger Games Trilogy

It's Effin AMAZINGGG!

See, usually a book of about 350 (or more) pages take me about 2 weeks max. to finish cause I usually don't get too involved and I don't read all the time!

BUT! With the HUNGERR GAMESSSSSSSS ! I finished it in 4 DAYS!

I put it as a priority on my list!

Before EVERYTHING!!

It's WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWW !!

I finished the first one rested for about 2 days then started with the second!

The second took me about 5 days but I read for the first 3 days then stopped for 2 then continued another 2 or 3!

But trust me, I didn't do it on purpose :/

Was obliged to :/

And now I'm in the third in Chapter 11 page 152 !

Precise info ^ !

I ABSOLUTELYY ADORE it!

And it's ending is partly bad but mostly good..

I read the last pages to know what's gonna happen but I don't know HOW so I get more involved!!

Anyways, I SERIOUSLYYY recommend it & if you liked Twilight Saga you're gonna adore this!

As a matter of fact, Stephanie Meyer, the author of The Twilight Saga, wrote a review about this series saying:

"I was so obsessed with this book I had to take it with me out to dinner and hide it under the edge of the table so I wouldn't stop reading. The story kept me up for several nights in a row, because even after I was finished, I just lay in bed wide awake thinking about it ... The Hunger Games is amazing."

Trust me!

Celebrity Gossip: JUSTIN BIEBER SAYS HE'S IN LOVE WITH SEL!

Justin Bieber is in love with Selena Gomez.

Justin and Sel have been together since March and he admits he has completely fallen for her.
When asked if he was in love with Selena, Justin replied, “I wouldn’t be with somebody if I wasn’t in love.”
Justin loves Sel because she is “hot” but he also insists they share a connection because of their similar family backgrounds.

“Everybody can see she is hot and that’s great, but there is so much more to her than that. She makes me laugh and she puts up with my practical jokes. She has really strong family values as well. We were both raised by our moms in single-parent households, and that’s given us a lot of the same family values in life,” he said.

He added:

“At the moment we’re so busy, it’s pretty much hotel rooms for me for most of the year. She could be in one part of the world and I could be in the other. We are just a young couple who are enjoying spending time with each other . But we both took time off last month and it was just really cool to be able to spend time together and just do normal things like go to the beach and have dinner together.”

UGGs Obsession Continues...

My Current OBSESSION !!!

Babes, babes, my current obsession:

U

s

UGGs!!

They are unbelievably CUTEEE ! I mean WTF!

When they first came out I was like: " Nooo, they're NOT cute.. I don't like them :("

& Everyone and I do mean EVERYONE (friends, family, etc..) tried to change my mind and i was like NOOO !

But NOW! I'm like: OMFG! I ADOREEEE them dude!

Everyone in school is wearing them, the nobody's and the popular kids are wearing them so I was like: "Let me take another look on them" ..

I stared at the boots of my friends for about 10 minutes to realize that I was SOOOOO stupid to think they're ugly !

So I'm waiting for next week to go on a shopping stroll in Beirut so that I can buy grey and black UGGs:

+ they look so darn cute with absolutely EVERYTHINGGG !!

MAN, how I'm obsessed with them..

Ways to Wear UGGs with Everything!

The thing is, you need to wear your Ugg boots in a way that makes you feel comfortable. They're not to everyone's taste...

1. First, choose your color. Find a shade that is going to co-ordinate and complement the other items in your wardrobe. I wear a lot of grays and blacks, and the gray Uggs are less stand out, and less in-your-face than others, making them more wearable and appropriate for more occasions. Striped pink knitted Uggs may look great on teens and models, but can look rather ridiculous when worn by real women. Pale colors look great, but be sure to protect them before you wear them, as grubby Ugg boots are not a good look.
2. Next, choose the right length of Ugg boots for you. You want them to either sit at a height below your calf, or at the top of your calf. Boots that finish mid-calf can make your legs look wider than they are. Make sure there is space at the top of the boot where you can slip at least 2 fingers in comfortably. Tight boots will cut your legs (and your blood supply) and look unseemly and uncomfortable. You're going to need that space for tucking in jeans etc anyway.
3. You can wear your Ugg boots with skinny jeans tucked in. It's a popular and fashionable look. Worn with leggings, they can give that 'Playmobil man' look, so be sure they don't look outrageously oversized on your legs. Don't wear women's Ugg Boots with short skirts or shorts, unless you're of supermodel proportions. Uggs under baggier fitting or bootcut jeans look good on most people. Don't try to tuck wide jeans into your Uggs - it will make you look messy and bunched-up.
4. Men – Ugg boots are generally not a good look. Some of the more practical colors and styles, such as the leather Uggs can look okay when worn under trousers, but overall, few men can pull this look off without raising a few sniggers from others.
5. Fashion Uggs are most certainly a casual look. Don't be tempted to wear them into the office or to a formal event, however cold it is outside and however snug your Ugg Boots Australia are. The only possible exception may be on a dress down Friday or office outing to do outdoor activites.
6. The Ugg cardi boots look great with thick, cable knit sweaters and the knitted dresses (worn over leggings or opaque tights) that are so in fashion right now.
7. Lower leg height Uggs, such as the Ugg Australia Classic Short Boot look good with legwarmers or thick socks under, sat just a little above the top of the boot. This helps to taper the leg profile into the larger boot section, which helps to streamline the look.

And finally of course, the rule with any fashion is that really – the only rules that exist are your own. So if it feels good – do it. You may not look conventional, but hey, that's not always a bad thing!

Generally, sheepskin boots can be worn with any of the following:

• skinny jeans
• any jeans providing they're not overly flared
• leggings - again, any will work, pretty much
• if you're young and cute, try them with some shorts - if it's winter, shorts made of a thicker fabric and some cool tights

And what you shouldn't wear them with:

• anything tailored. Trust me, going to work wearing your standard office garb with a pair of Uggs on the end of your legs does not look good
• short mini skirts

• pink. Anything pink ... and that includes buying Ugg boots in pink too.

Celebrity Gossip: Lady Gaga 'quit drugs after being caught by her father '

Lady Gaga has revealed that she quit drugs after her dad caught her doing some in his house. The 25-year-old pop superstar is very open about having abused drugs while trying to find herself as a struggling musician playing in New York clubs. "I just was partying and being very self-indulgent and trying to find myself," she told fashion icon Jean Paul Gaultier in a TV interview. "And in hindsight it's so dangerous - I really don't encourage anyone to follow that path," she said. But it was the embarrassment of her family finding out in a very dramatic way that made her quit drugs on the spot. "I actually was doing drugs in my parents' house one day and they didn't know I was in the bathroom," she recalled. "And I came out and my father could tell. And I just remember feeling so embarrassed and I quit instantly. "I care so much what my father thinks. I'm very old-fashioned Italian in that way. It was pretty instant." She insists she does not miss her drug years. "Over the years I've realised that the joy and euphoria I experience in the relationship with my fans is so much greater than any drug could be," she insisted.

Get The Look: VMA Winners

As a music lover, I definitely take outfit inspiration from my favourite pop stars.

The Beyonces, the Gagas and the Rihannas have all inspired my fashion

choices (especially before a night out) so I was thrilled to see some of

these fashionistas honoured at the VMAs on Sunday.

Each video that won was crazier than the next

and the wheels in my fashion-brain started turning:

how could I take inspiration from the looks in these videos

without looking like a total freak on the streets?

I decided to use Polyvore to come up with some

outfits inspired by all the videos of female winners at the

2011 VMAs that wouldn’t overwhelm the masses with fashion craziness.

Best Pop Video:

Britney Spears - Till The World Ends

The Inspiration:

The Look:

This video is ALL about torn clothes, visible bras and glamourous edge

but such skimpy clothes aren’t exactly street-appropriate.

Enter: Skinny jeans! I had to incorporate a studded

leather jacket some how because it was the standout piece in the video.

Britney also sports a sheer top and lots of red sparkly accents

so I added some killer glitter heels (Wizard of Oz, anyone?)

and red and silver bangles.

Best Hip-Hop Video:

Nicki Minaj - Super Bass

The Inspiration:

The Look:

Nicki Minaj seemingly can’t go anywhere without something pink on.

Be it her hair, her outfit, her shoes, or her accessories (or all of the above)

she’s always wearing it! This is the perfect summer daytime outfit.

Nicki is wearing the coolest Doc Martens in the video during her group

dance number so I had to include some stylish Docs in the outfit.

Also, if you’re feeling crazy, feel free to dye your hair her signature

color (Manic Panic is temporary!).

Best Female Video:

Lady Gaga - Born This Way

The Inspiration:

The Look:

For most of the video Gaga is wearing underwear so I had to pick and choose.

My favourite scene is the one where LG is in full skeleton makeup and a tuxedo

dancing around Zombie Boy (whose face is permanently skeleton’d thanks to tattoos!).

Most girls wouldn’t wear a full tuxedo, um, ever, so I had to make this look work

while still keeping it fun. That’s where the bowtie necklace comes in.

How cute is it?! This is a fun outfit for a night on the town

or a dinner date with your man.

Best Choreography:

Beyonce - Run The World (Girls)

The Inspiration:

The Look:

The fashion in this video is straight up insane.

I couldn’t come up with direct copy-cat looks

because all Beyonce wears is haute-couture

and anything knockoff often just ends up looking cheap.

For this look I took inspirations from the ~essence~ of the video:

strong, brave, fierce women. Naturally I gravitated toward animal print

and I had to add the furry vest because it’s the best piece in the video.

Don’t forget the geometric gold earrings and cranberry-red wedge

shoes to stomp on anybody who challenges you.

Video of the Year:

Katy Perry - Firework

The Inspiration:

The Look:

This video isn’t exactly a hot bed for outfit inspiration,

it’s more about the message (“baby, you’re a firework” seems to be the message…)

but if you’re looking for an appropriate outfit for a fancy cocktail party

or a grown up art-gallery launch (that’s something that grown ups do, right?)

this video provides great ideas.

If this sparkly jacket doesn’t evoke fireworks,

then I don’t know what does. I added the purple nail polish

to reflect Katy’s pretty purple hair in the video.

The skirt reminds me of a ballerina!

SO what have we learned today? You can find outfit inspiration just

about anywhere but when in doubt look to powerful pop ladies! Also: glitter never fails.

[UPDATE: Male coworker complained about the lack of male fashion

so he took to Polyvore himself and made a look for…]

Best New Artist:

Tyler The Creator

The Inspiration:

The Look:

Is Tyler sponsored by Supreme? I’ve never seen him without that hat on.

I think he might be hiding some early baldness issues…ANYWAY!

I call this look skater-kid-chic because the shirt is a liiiiiiittle bit more

~haute~ than just a ratty old t-shirt. This guy definitely has

defined personal style. Don’t forget the tube socks!

-Enjoy, Cynthia!
