New Girl Addict

 

Totally addicted to the tv series New Girl with Zooey Deschanel. The second season began a few weeks ago so when Belgian fall weather really kicks in, I will be hooked to the television!

 

What do you think about New Girl? Fan or not?

Treasure in unhabited Parisian Flat

For 70 years, this Parisian apartment had been left uninhabited and under lock and key. The rent was faithfully paid throughout these years, but nobody had a clue of what was inside. The flat contained a 2,1 million euro painting.

The woman who owned the flat moved to the south of France before the Second World War, but never returned. The apartment was discovered because the woman recently died at the age of 91. Experts were tasked to draw up an inventory of the woman's possessions and found her flat in Paris.

When they entered the apartment, one of the experts' eye fell onto the painting of a woman in a pink muslin evening dress. The tableau was by the 19th century Italian artist Giovanni Boldini and the woman pictured on the canvas was his former muse. This muse's granddaughter is the woman who left her apartment unhabited for 70 years.
 

Such stories bring out the journalist  in me. I hope that I discover a story like this one day.

Little Black Dress in dictionary!

Women all over the world, interested in fashion, already know for a long time exactly what we mean when we talk about a LBD or a little black dress. But now there's a solution for those who don't know what we're talking about: the dictionary! The 'Oxford Dictionary of English' to be more specific.

The LBD or little black dress is now officially included in the 'Oxford Dictionary of English', along with 2000 other words such as a 'tweetup' (a meeting arranged via Twitter), a 'cheeseball' (a person with a lack of style and taste) and a 'bromance' (an intimate non-sexual friendship between two men). Especially the new internet terms are likely to be included in a dictionary. From now on, the words 'microblogging' (to post small amounts of text on a blog) and 'defriend' (to delete a friend on Facebook) belong to the English language.

The new version of the 'Oxford Dictionary of English' will be published at the end of August.

And I can only think... Finally!

Coppola's Fifth

Sophia Coppola's back! Her new and fifth film is called 'Somewhere'.

'Somewhere' is an intimate story that sets in Los Angeles. Johnny Marco (Stephen Dorff) is a Hollywood A-list actor and living the good life at Hollywood’s legendary Chateau Marmont Hotel. But when his eleven-year-old daughter Cleo (Elle Fanning) unexpectedly shows up, his "easy" days are over.

The trailer suggests that we can aspect a movie in the same mood as 'The Virgin Suicides' and 'Lost in Translation'. 'Somewhere' will be released the 22th of december 2010.

Fall and Winter Fashion Love

The Xuan-Thu Nguyen Fall/Winter Couture 2010-2011 makes me long for fall (and not everyone can achieve that because I am a "spring and summer"-person)! The looks she creates have a dreamy feel about them and I totally love them. These are my favorites from the show...

I heart Nica bags!

I'm totally in love with the Nica bags and today I found this beauty. So far, I have already three bags from this brand, but a girl can never have too many bags, can she? Therefore I present to you the "Alicia Satchel", available in two colours: "Tan" and "Mushroom".

I decided to buy this bag of my dreams but I'm still doubting about the colour. So I could use some help... Which colour do you like most?

The Body Shop Vending Machine

From now on, people in the United States mustn't go to a Body Shop store anymore to get their favorite products, they can just get them out of a machine. The beauty chain The Body Shop - part of the L'Oréal group - installed vending machines in airports, shopping centers and supermarkets.

But not only The Body Shop uses vending machines, it seems to become a trend in the beauty world. Even cosmetics companies such as Sephora and Coty sell their products through these machines. Earlier this year, Coty temporarily installed automats in subway stations in Paris to put the newest Calvin Klein perfume on sale.

According to Al Montalvo, Director of New Sales and Emerging Channels at The Body Shop, the vending machines respond to an increasing demand. "More than ever, customers want to buy their products wherever and whenever they want to. For The Body Shop, it is an opportunity to meet their expectations in an innovative way."

I'm a huge fan of these Body Shop vending machines because you can't risk not having their products around (at least, I can't). My skin totally fell in love with the body butters and their fragrances. Hope to find these automats in Belgium very soon!
