If You’re Going To Take A Selfie…

The other day I wrote a post about how selfies on Facebook/Instagram were overrated. That’s just putting it nicely. I didn’t say they were overrated, I actually questioned why selfies were being taken at all in the first place. Coincidentally, People Magazine just wrote a post about the ten ways you can take a selfie beautifully and I have to say that after reading this article, I might be changing my tune.

Example A. Miranda Kerr. Selfies are done best when they don’t really look like a selfie because of the outstretched arms. That’s not a comment by People Magazine – just a comment by me.

For the full list of ways, click here.

Miranda Kerr and Victoria’s Secret Part Ways

After multiple rumors swirled around last week that Victoria’s Secret had snatched Miranda Kerr’s wings from being an angel, the model has finally come clean about the breakup. Sources say that Kerr was “not a big seller for VS” (definitely not true!) while another source cited that she had a “difficult reputation.” Obviously, there was no truth to these rumors. Miranda is bowing out of her role as an angel because she’s a new mother and like many new moms, time off is kind of expected. Her priorities have changed and who can knock her down for that for wanting to be there for her 2-year old son Flynn with husband Orlando Bloom?

Miranda will surely be missed, but at least my favorite Lily Aldridge is still in!

Everyone kind of knew she’d be wearing Dior since she’s the new face and all, but no one expected her to look this flawless. The cinched belt at the waistline completes this look.

Orlando Bloom the Photographer?

Could there be anything more perfect than Orlando Bloom, Miranda Kerr, and their son Flynn? I don’t think so. Australian model Miranda Kerr is kind of a household name (at least to me anyways,) and Orlando Bloom is an actor with a side hobby. Did some of you know that he enjoys shooting photography – specifically using Miranda as his choice of subject? I’ve seen quite a few shots from him, even some that were used in advertisements, but I don’t think I have shared these series with you until now. Here are some of my favorite latest photographs featured in New York Time Style Magazine.

Review: Kusmi Tea

I never drank caffeine or tea until I came to college because I was definitely someone that preferred Jamba Juice smoothies or Starbucks frappuccinos in high school. Yes, Seattle University turned me into one classy college student. Of course, if I wanted to pull all-nighters, blended fruit juices and sugar just weren’t going to cut it. Since being here at school, I have moved on from vanilla chai frapps and graduated onto white mochas – thanks Bree for introducing them to me.

In addition to the caffeine, I was able to let my wall down with tea. Both my parents are huge fans of it so after some convincing, I finally gave in. When Colangelo PR reached out to me recently to ask me if I was interested in trying Kusmi Tea, I was -of course- excited! They sent me this Essentials packet above featuring 12 of their best selling flavors (two of each – ie) 24 tea bags) which then prompted me to call Veronica over so that we could have a night of tea sampling.

Kusmi tea is a brand known for its traditional Russian style teas for the last 140 years and apparently is a favorite for Hollywood IT couple Miranda Kerr and Orlando Bloom. Here he is below with Kusmi bag in hand after leaving their shop.

Katie’s Review:

Since I’m a huge fan of fruity flavors, I decided to try out the Prince Vladimir [citrus fruits, vanilla and spices.] What I loved about this flavor the most is that it was incredibly fragrant. The smell of it lingered the rest of the night and all I could think to myself was that I wish I had it in scent form. After finishing the tea, I felt at ease and calm. Some teas have been known to make me a little bit jittery, but this wasn’t the case at all with Kusmi. After splitting the flavors in half with my parents, I still have nine more left to try out on my own and I can’t wait to see what the rest of the flavors will bring to the table.

Veronica’s Review:

This past weekend, my dear friend Katie gave me the chance to try a classy new tea with her! Known as Kusmi Tea based in Paris and New York, we had a variety of flavors to choose from. While Katie tried “Prince Vladimir” I gave “Sweet Love” a shot. Meant to be a black tea with a kick, I was interested in the guarana that makes up the tea’s composition. To no surprise, I loved the subtlety of licorice and pink peppercorn that fit well with the hot beverage, giving it a kick. If anyone is looking for a new tea, I recommend looking for some Sweet Love.

Wild Things

Before the models hit the runway in all of their makeup, casting director Douglas Perrett would like you to know that they are still some of the most gorgeous beings that walk among us. His collection of Polaroids feature some of today’s most successful models in their au natural state and will be published in a book entitled, “Wild Things.” What most people may not know about the modeling industry is that models come into go-sees (auditions in the modeling world) completely fresh faced and have their pictures taken by a casting director. The reason why they are makeup free is so that they can be viewed as a “blank canvas.”

2012 Golden Globe Awards Red Carpet

Charlize Theron in Dior completely gets Yow Yow’s stamp of approval for being the best dressed on the red carpet last night. There was a whole lot of cream and ivory, but gosh the simplicity and elegance of this gown made me melt. The headband was also what sealed the deal for me.

Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show Recap

(All photos by Jamie McCarthy/Getty Images)

I may not be a regular at Victoria’s Secret, but I am a huge fan of the annual fashion show that airs on CBS every winter. I’ve always had an interest in runway shows, but what sets this one apart from all the others is that the models actually LOOK like they are having fun. Seriously, don’t you agree? They’re smiling, they’re dancing…there’s 300 pounds of glitter on the runway. Just picture that for a second. You would die if 300 pounds of glitter were on top of you. And that’s scary, but that’s what makes the show so successful. Well, that and all the models and the lingerie you know…

Highlights:

  • Performers: Kanye West, Jay-Z, Maroon 5 and Nicki Minaj
  • Favorite theme: Aquatic Angels
  • How cute was Orlando Bloom rising almost every time wife Miranda Kerr hit the stage?
  • To keep you on the edge of your seat, the organizers of the show went all intense on us and gave us a play-by-play of what was going on backstage. Will Adriana make it in time?! Of course she does.
  • Karlie Kloss is the ultimate HBIC. This may be her first time walking for the show, but she’s no stranger to the runway – having snagged all of the major runway shows every single season.
  • Lily Aldridge is the best ever.
  • Not enough Chanel Iman.
  • Anne V. and Adam Levine…merrrrr

And now a tribute to my favorite Angels!

***** Hey readers! Brace yourself – it was a big news day!

- The UK’s Daily Mail published a photo along with a headline naming the wrong Olsen twin. For most of their early lives (Ages 0-16,) I believed they were identical because they were always dressed alike, but these days I can tell the two of them apart within seconds. You don’t have to see it in their faces to tell who is who, but you will see it in the way that they are dressed. Need some help telling the fashion icons apart? Check out Fashionista for their guide here.
