At the same trend, but strapless, Derek Lam offers us a beautiful orange flowers in bright colors. The sandal in black can not fail to give the game design lines.

For his part, Kenzo prefers the longer measures, drawing on the back with force folk style during these months. The geometric pattern also coincides nicely with the flowers and achieves one of the most beautiful designs.

Chanel likes the minimalism, the clasical black and white. Fortunately we see careful and accurate in blue and red flowers on the surface, that looks like reminiscent of the childhood.
BCBG mix textures and prints , in a very informal style, but fails to attract any look. Even so,his dresses are so colorful.

The genius Alexander McQueen , sorprise us with this explosion of color and their particular view of the world of fashion. Words fail

Form of Art

Beauty comes in different shapes and sizes and so does art.

We were at the mall, just another bonding moment for friends. Then, we came across this art exhibit at the Mega Atrium. There were paintings which used the violin as its canvas. They were displayed in such a way that from afar it would seem like they were floating violins. We don’t play the violin but I love violin music.

We went inside the exhibit hall and we were surprised to see paintings of bigger women this time, not on the violin but on the usual canvas. Like me, my friend is a plus size girl too. So were trying to look at the bodies of the models on the paintings whether they are clothed or not. Honestly, I was reminded of myself. It was as if there was a mirror in front of me.

It was my first time and my friend’s as well to go to a free art exhibit. Another surprise came to us when the artist himself came to us and even shook our hands. He told us that he was a ‘fat fetish’. He loves painting women like us. It was weird enough that we saw paintings of bigger women and it was even weirder when he approached us.

We were even invited to see the special paintings that were not yet part of the exhibit and so we did. We were shown more paintings and it bothered me that all paintings seem to be dark. Dark hues dominated the canvas though the artist seemed like not a dark person but a fun person actually. Well, I really know nothing about artists.

The small conversation about the paintings ended quickly and my friend and I decided to leave and when we were already far from the exhibit, that was when I realized that I still have an ‘art article’ to write.

Sighs. I could have had a longer conversation with that artist. Nonetheless, it was already enough that I was proven that art really is something unpredictable and it really comes in different shapes and sizes.

Almost Alice Wonders


By Augie Monica A. Miclat

This is a call to the people who have not watched Alice in Wonderland (including me :( )

No time for movies for now but I have time for music and ‘Almost Alice’ was definitely something I enjoyed. All songs were likeable. I only got the chance to hear all sixteen tracks through the wonders of the information superhighway and had a few tracks saved on my mp3.

The great thing about the album is that every song has is almost different then again; each one has that ‘something’ and collectively, all the songs are pleasing enough that you would love to hear it over and over again.

I especially adore’ Welcome to Mystery’ by plain White T’s it reminded me of a Beatles song that I hear almost every weekend back home. I was surprised to find ‘The Technicolor Phase’ by Owl City on the album. I love that song the first time I heard it months ago.

If you have not watched the movie and you enjoyed the ‘Almost Alice’, I guess you better find some free time to go to a cinema and feast not only your ears but your eyes as well.

Over all, Almost Alice is an album most of you guys will enjoy whether you have watched the movie or not but I guess I would have appreciated the album more if I have watched the movie.

Free tickets, anyone? :)

Make up is not a vice

As fashion styles evolves in our modern world today, the make up styles has been revived and restored by people who are really fascinated in beautifying and making their selves fabulous.

Not all people consider make ups. Only few are having fun in using beauty products. And I know that beauty products such as make ups are considered vice in the eyes of many.

Unfortunately, make ups and other cosmetics is not really a vice for most women. In spite of this, the use of make ups increases women's beauty. Although some say simplicity is beauty, and putting such make ups doesn't make you simple, it never bothers me to put make ups on my face.

With the use of light make ups through your face, it can help you to look even younger. It helps you to lessen your stress and somewhat refreshes you. Aside from this, it can help you to look more fabulously during special events and occasions.

Wearing make ups is not bad yet we must know how to use it properly. Once we knew how to apply it, it can never bring you harm. Just grab the original and not the fake ones.

Pools and beaches will be busy this summer season.But still there are differences between the pool and the beach.The beach is more exciting because of the its wave.And as it can be exciting, it can be more dangerous than pools. But now, We don't have to choose where would be more fun because a pool can be exciting as beach do.

Falling out of love?

"Watakushi ga anata ni mo aishite imasen"
-japanese
"nan neol a-jik-do sa-rang-ha-ji an-ha"
-korean
"Ya no te amo"
-spanish


"I don't love you anymore". Yes, It is hard to say i love you but it is harder to say that you're falling out of love to someone you have loved before. Someone who still loves you the way you love them before. Someone who you promised to love with forever.

The reason of some people who can't say i love you to someone is that they are afraid that they can be rejected. But why does it is hard to say to someone that you don't love them anymore?

They say love has no reason.You love someone because you love them. Then there shouldn't be a reason to fall out of love too? Is it just a feeling?Why do people fall out love after they fall inlove with someone?

People fall out of love because of some reasons that your partner will surely understand in time because he/she loves you and you love them too but not as much as before.

And as you love them with respect, let them know your feeling towards them early before you can hurt them.
