Hello Darlings,

This week, I am in Los Angeles California attending several Academy Awards festivities, including the OK! Magazine 2012 Pre-Oscar Party in Hollywood last night. It was interesting to say the least to experience behind-the-scenes of Hollywood.

The event began with a star-studded red carpet, then moved inside the charming Greystone Manor. The event was honouring Adrian Grenier's philanthropic efforts, and especially his work on HBO documentary film, Teenage Paparazzo.

Hello Darlings,

This week was filed with lots of exciting developments including my first live on-air TV interview. And Monday evening, I rushed my way into the tents of LG Fashion Week at David Pecaut Square to catch JUMA and Arthur Mendonça spring/summer 2012 collections.

Fifteen minutes behind the schedule, I made it just in time for doors to close. With a bit of chit-chat, the lovely PR girl —who turned out to be a WLG reader— sneaked me into the show. After finding a semi-decent spot to film the show, I was delighted to catch the parade of JUMA's vibrant designs. Following JUMA, I headed over to catch the big return of Arthur Mendonça. As expected the designers did not fail to impress, but unfortunately my camcorder did by running out of battery.

As opposed to the past few seasons, this time I selected only a handful of shows to attend. Rather than spending the week in hell by putting up with an hour-long waits —and this is with the guest of a designer invite— and crazy crowds, I chose to skip out on the rest of activity.

When Time is Not an Option: finding comfort

On October 3, 2011 · 6 Comments · In Uncategorized
Hello Darlings,

Every girl has one of those days when everything is a chaos.With a million things to do and the keys are missing again; the day hasn't begun but you're already frustrated. Well, that was my Thursday—it was a chaos of unpleasant doctor appointments. Then again, life is not a chain of happy and fabulous events. There are times when a girl needs to pick up the pieces and go on. Regardless of how disheveled you might feel, remember that no one needs to know :) Add a touch of blush, smear on some lip gloss and throw on a pair of sunnies....and off you go!

Therefore this is my " I am not having the greatest day" look! Many of you suggested that I share my most casual look of when I am in a rush—Voila! As most of my days are spent rushing around, I have perfected my take on casual-wear.
