Have you heard about the 100 bloggers awareness campaign for breast cancer? If you haven’t then you have now. I think this is a great way to promote awareness for breast cancer; this year marks the 10th anniversary of the pink pony fund, which has raised over $40 million to battle cancer in over 30 different countries.
Want to know more about the campaign? Well Pink Pony supports program for early diagnostics, treatment, education and research and hopes to support more of those in need of care. The campaign was launched in 2000 and is Polo Ralph Laurens global plan dedicated to cancer care.
Want to take part? then why not have a peek at the charity auction which runs from October 1st to the 21st. http://www.ralphlauren.com

P.s I love Tavi’s ingenious idea with the pink ribbon, what about you? Click here to view the 100 bloggers! Go go go!!

Bye bye Victoria

Another part of my vacation was at Vancouver and Vancouver islands (also known as Victoria), a little city full of seafood and great people. I literally had seafood for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I also spent the day at a rainforest, and dealt with my fear with heights on the well known Capilano suspension bridge (450 feet (137m) long and 230 feet (70m) high) made of reinforced steel. That day I saw zero wildlife but had encountered so many tall and very old trees (Some about 1300 years old). Overall, my trip in Vancouver and Victoria was very pleasant with the company of good people.

P.S The Ding dong (doraemon) cake wasnt as yummy as it looked.

Holiday blues

Hello guys and girls, I’m finally back from my 2 weeks holiday from L.A and Vancouver and I can’t believe the 2 weeks have gone past so sudden. Part from the hours and hours of travelling, I have visited major parts of L.A including Beverly Hills, Universal studios and done all the other touristy stuff including the visit to China town and the famous old town Pasadena a fellow blogger had told me about, you know who you are so thank you :) Not forgetting the time I enjoyed shopping in Forever 21, my match made in heaven, I can’t express how much fun I had in that store apart from that I had emptied my wallet out in less than 2 hours. Why isn’t there a F21 in the UK?!(Pictures of what I brought will be put up in another post).
I’m currently in a sad post-holiday mood (hence the title), missing the sun, heat, amazing food and people; it doesn’t help having to arrive at Heathrow airport with which I was greeted with grunts and snorts.
So my vacation to L.A had gone amazingly fast, I had seen my first ever 7 layered chocolate cake, experienced the nightlife in Las Vegas (No gambling involved seeing as am under-aged), tried and tasted a burrito made by a real Mexican, bantered with the market ladies, screamed my lungs out in the house of horrors in universal studios, heard of a fried Twinkie and fried cheesecake, went to my first ever Denny’s, brought my first ever Abercrombie and Fitch item, learnt that bubble tea is actually called boba tea which sounds way cooler, purchased many ‘I heart L.A’ tee’s as easy souvenirs for friends, Brought too many fridge magnets (I’m going to start collecting each time I go abroad) and gained a pound. Thats all for now, i hope everyone is all dandy :) kisses, Winnie

Spanish revival

The Spanish culture is proving a strong influence on spring/ summer 2010 trends.

Romantic ruffles dominate for dresses, with bold and rich colours and decorating necklines and embellishments creating construction and a layered format. The elegantly modern dresses are kept low key with minimal accessories, the focus is made from the soft volume and shape accentuating the waist and hips.

The gleaming Velvet is worked into a contemporary bustier dress shape for the ultimate party frock, whilst viscose and silk is gives the most luxurious and high shine option giving a feminine summer look.

KG new flagship opens!

The summer holiday to me lasts about half a year, but really in reality it is only about 3 months. I Hoover the carpet, I clean my wardrobe, I clean the kitchen, I dust, scrub and clean every inch of my apartment. Once I have played the 1950’s happy housewife, I sit on the couch with a nice hot cup of chocolate topped with marshmallows and watch sex and the city over again. There are still 2 more weeks to fill, then I go on my very anticipated holiday to L.A the land of Celebrity and beaches and the Vancouver islands to meet my b/f aunt and uncle that I have never met before! Do you know anywhere nice to visit in L.A?

I’ve spent the morning reading about the newly open premium footwear KG store in Covent Garden in London. I haven’t been myself but it is without doubt a store I would visit if I am ever in London, The range of footwear for Women is stretched and includes platform stiletto’s, straightforward courts, lattice-front stiletto’s, ballet pumps (which is displayed in a mirrored, open fronted cube) in a vast array of colours, patterns and finishes. Sounds very sexy? yes.

Not only this, but the store will offer 1000 different styles including men and women’s own brand and a selection of other labels.

The store appeal is not to be missed! A lot of innovative designs, on the walls everything is mirrored and on the ground floor is the shoe chandelier – a large overhead lighting fixture ornamented with an array if current footwear trends- A polished performance. p.s.. how is kurt geiger suppose to be pronounced?.. 'kurt gay gar??' 'kurt jey gar??' O.o
