Can one exude sexiness by posing with the mouth left slighly opened?

Case in point: Kate Moss x Longchamp Summer 2011 Campaign Ads

'

Kate Moss is oozing sexy in the midst of the great hard work and toil needed to launch a collection. The secret? Do something you really, really, really love. I know it's no secret at all but this one's just so difficult to do. *sighs heavily and goes back to reading PT books*

I suddenly remembered how much I wanted to be a Disney Princess when I was young!

Let the amazing work of renowned photographer, Annie Leibovitz, give your Disney dreams a touch of reality:

Who wouldn't fall in love happily ever after with the gorgeous SJ? (Ryan Reynolds raises both hands)

Scarlett Johannson

Can Wendy be any hotter? Yes! (And oh, Tina Fey plays Tink)

Giselle Bundchen

I can never picture her as a villain. She's such a sweetheart, for chrissake!

Queen Latifah

I knew it always looked this eerie inside the evil queen's room (but that's a sexy man on the mirror!).

Alec Baldwin, Olivia Wilde

Two sets of Beauty and the Beast:

Drew Barrymore

This is more like Belle, for me...

Jeff Bridges, Penelope Cruz

What a fairy godmother must've really looked like in the flesh.

Julie Andrews, Abigail Breslin

 Least fave (because I've always thought that Jasmine flew with Aladdin on a magic carpet ride... not with Abu) Weird outfit + a goon-looking prince for Jasmine= an unhappy ending (sorry fans).

Jennifer Lopez, Marc Anthony

Nobody warned Prince Charming that NARS blushes are higly pigmented.

Zac Efron, Vanessa Hudgens

I love Julianne Moore but because the child in me loves Ariel more, I wish they got someone a bit younger for the part.

Julianne Moore, Michael Phelps

Loving how 4 sets of Wizard of Oz photos never left out Toto!

Keira Knightley

How imeldific can Dorothy be? Noticed her heels from all 4 pics? :)

 And this is just so surreal! Rachel Weisz can't be any other Disney princess but Snow White!

If you were to choose ONE favorite from these photos, which one would it be?

Plains and Prints has created a collection I'm beginning to love! Most pieces look so polished and safe --- something that screams ME. 

Backtrack: I've ventured a bit with fashion (trying to go eclectic, but nah) and eventually strayed from my comfort zone, but I ended up going back to my usual comfort pieces.

Rapunzel shorts, 995

So when Plains and Prints launched their latest chic line-up, I was instantly stunned by their blue pieces (my fave color!)

First Set of Picks: Uber Clean Blue & White

loving that peppermint Anatalia pants

Second Set: Denim Blues

Third Set: Blues and Stripes

my fave set! so chic and girly and stripey! (girls love the right kind of stripes!)

Fourth Set: Stark Blue

Last month, I was able to try on that Arlene sleeveless sailor dress in Carribean orange (surprisingly, I preferred that color over blue) and the BF absolutely approved of it (the model above wore a size too small; had she worn something a wee bit bigger, it would've flowed nicely like she sprung out of a 60's mag). However, I felt that the size was too snug on the armpits that I can no longer gain a millimeter of fat on that area if I wanted the dress to still look flattering on me. Next size was already too big :(

Plains and Prints' sizing has been a bit of a problem for me. It's often a hit or miss.

However, for this collection, I dare not miss trying out the pieces I love! These are just a few ensembles of what Plains and Prints have to offer that I picked out ... they have loads of other chic stuff so better check them out before they run out of sizes!

Thank you everyone for the comforting words and prayers for my brother who's in Saitama. We've received word from him last week and we are thankful to God that he's all good (still a bit worried about the nuclear radiation though, Saitama has been reported to experience radiation 40 times normal levels).

Anyway, I'm terribly sorry for being unable to visit my favorite blogs and for not updating my home page. I've received query emails on how the Revlon Colorsilk in Light Ash Brown (50) fares on the locks after a few months.

Revlon Colorsilk 50 after 1 1/2 months

I actually think that the salon who applied the dye didn't do as superb as
my Revlon colorist, Joanne did (Revlon hold FREE hair dye application you see)

You will notice that my roots are starting to turn black again. The dye is not drying to the scalp, but I noticed that my hair needed extra care after I had it colored. I take extra time conditioning my locks to make sure that my hair still looks vibrant, fresh and nice.

I've been dyeing my hair for almost 2 years now and I see a positivity in my aura with this kind of color. I'm beginning to feel that I am addicted to Revlon's Colorsilk dye!

Having my hair colored is among the greatest makeovers I did to myself. My folks didn't quite get it as they seemed to prefer their natural daughter (LOL) over the blondie* girl. My friends, colleagues, and bf raved about my new hair color, though.

I have nothing but high praises for Revlon Colorsilk. It's a cheap product (395php) that can transform your looks in the most pleasing way!

*blondie - Filipino monicker for someone who's got their hair colored... even if it ain't true blonde ;)
