Hi guys,

I have an outfit post with a difference today. My first animated post. I hope you will get the feel of my rock and roll mood. I was excited to learn how to do this on photoshop and really excited because it works. Cool!



Nice weather today, one of the last chances to wear the mini shorts this year, although it was lovely and sunny, the summer has officially gone and tights are required. The ones I am wearing today by Wolford are perfect because they do adapt to the weather and you can always feel comfortable.
Mixed up with some leather and black nails, the look was rock and roll with a casual attitude.

The Mikey Mouse t-shirt, which I love, an old buy from Ebay. I wanted a cool vintage looking Mikey Mouse tee, I can't really remember how much it was but let's say it was about a fiver, we're talking a few years ago. Anyways a couple of week after I had bought mine, I saw a picture of Rihanna wearing something very similar. It's quite an old photo, but do you guys remember?


I swear, I bought mine first!

The Best of the Emmys 2010

We all love awards ceremonies as they are the pinnacle of red carpet events, when celebrities showcase the latest designer couture. The 62nd annual Primetime Emmy awards celebrated the best in TV on August 29th, and of course the stars dressed the part, with girls from Glee looking particularly gorgeous. Classic one-shouldered and strapless gowns were popular choices especially in nude, gold and navy, but as always there were a few edgier dresses to be seen as well, such as Heidi Klum's daring mini. We hope you enjoy our selection of the best dressed ladies of the event! However the jury was out on January Jones's choice, please let us know what you think as there has been much debate over her risky Atelier Versace gown! x

Hello guys,

I hope all of you had a good, relaxing bank holiday. It's so sad, this is the last Bank holiday of the year... Anyways, I had a really good time, learning how do to do some new things on the photoshop and reading some magazines.

Catching up on my monthly subscription of 'In Style' magazine, October's issue, I came across this page!
Much to my surprise, proudly on number 5 of their top 10 cool scarves, is the skull scarf, the one I have reviewed for Very.co.uk.

THE SKULL SCARF

Back in June...


When I selected this scarf to review it, I was surprised that I had not seen it featured anywhere. It was just such an AMAZING FIND... I am glad to see that I am not alone on my good choices, because it definitely makes to my top 5 scarves too.
It's indeed a fabulous skull print and if you love skulls like me you will not get enough of it. A total bargain as well, just £8 it's so cheap and elegant! The next best thing to the LV as pictured above! Well, you saw it first at Pretty Portobello! Have a look at my full review, clicking here.

See you soon.

EMMY Highlights:



The Emmy's as always were a mixed bag last night. I thought the adorable Jimmy Fallon gave it his all and the results were good overall if not a bit manic. Jewel, who usually makes me flee a room impressed me with her song during the in memoriam segment of the show. So happy to see Kyra Sedgwick take the prize for her turn in the Closer but disappointed Michael C. Hall got robbed again. (Bryan Cranston is good, but 3 years in a row???). Nice also to see The Amazing Race not win yet again, although I have never seen a second of Top Chef.

Just a couple of observations:

-Modern Family got the attention it deserved, Cougar Town did not.

-Modern Family's Sofia Vergara has officially become tv's most annoying celebrity.

-Glenn Close always looks like she is in a bad mood, either that or she needs to pee.
-I love Neil Patrick Harris but...when he does not think he is on camera he always seems a bit stuck up. When he notices the camera is on, that winning smile always reappears...

-Congrats to Archie Panjabi & Jane Lynch!

-Betty White is over saturated and the sexual innuendos are getting old but.. damn it if she does not always make me smile.

-Jim Parsons deserved the win, but an odd duck he is.

-The girl in the opening number everyone is asking about was Nina Dobrev from Vampire Diaries

-Tina Fey is finally winning me over

-I maintain 'Two and Half Men' is shit and the fact it gets Emmy nominations is a joke.

-One last thing, HBO does great tv, but so do the networks. All those 'movie stars' who seem ok to be nominated for a tv award because they are on HBO are a bit annoying. Some of these, like Claire Danes have done their best work on network tv (My So Called Life) and you can bet will be the matriarch on a tv drama once she hits 50 or 60.

Loved Loved (except for the inclusion of Gosslin) the opening number. Jon Hamm was hot, adding Hurley was a stroke of genius. Just one question...Was Lea Michele too good to go live? Lea was a big part of the taped piece but was the only one who did not join the group on stage for the live portion of the opening number...





Aaron Paul: Best Supporting Actor in A Drama Series: Breaking Bad

David Strathairn Best Supporting Actor, Miniseries or Movie (Temple Grandin)

David Strathairn has been acting professionally since the late 70's. Every time I see him on screen, even when playing the most despicable characters (think 'Dolores Claiborne') there is something incredibly sexy about him. I cannot begin to list credits, but check them out on IMDB HERE:

Just Because: Will Forte in 'MAcGruber'



Just Because:
Even though 'MAcGruber' did not burn up the box office, I am going to miss Will Forte on SNL this fall. Will was consistently funny and on SNL consistency is important. Will miss in particular MAcGruber and Jean-George Peppers.








Thanks to Braxnis for the great caps!
