Shorts' first day out

I got these shorts still in February at STRADIVARIUS - it was a great sales bargain, and I'm really a fan of shorts and I loved the pattern. It just so happened that they remained in the closet all this time! But the weather is great outside and just about time to take the shorts out for a walk.

Stylish Blogger Award

Angel from Fashionably Numb was kind enough to award me this Stylish Blogger Award, and stylish I am, so as the tradition goes, I will now proceed to list 8 things about myself as well as pass the award on to a few fellow bloggers.

1. I hardly ever leave the house without my iPod - such a music lover I am.

2. I always think of comfort and don't rush out just after any hot fashion item - just because it looks really cool.

3. I seriously intend to write a novel (completely unrelated to fashion).

4. I'm a fan of the very old movies and like to read about film history.

5. My favorite book is "Catcher in the Rye."

6. I consider boots universally coolest footwear.

7. I can't stand pretentious people.

8. I think "Jersey Shore" and all its characters are incredibly gross and I find its popularity in the US seriously disturbing.

And my Stylish Blogger Award goes to:

H&M against AIDS spring 2011 campaign

H&M launched a Fashion Against AIDS campaign for spring 2011, featuring celebrities like Selma Blair, Akon, Sky Ferreira, Ginnifer Goodwin, Scissor Sisters and others. 25 percent of sales of the quirky unisex collection are going towards HIV/AIDS prevention projects.

House M.D.'s musical turn

HOUSE M.D. used to be my favorite show. But by season 6 it has gotten so self-repetitive, sentimental and almost predictable, that I continued watching only as a habit and because Hugh Laurie's doc is such a pleasure to observe. Yet, episode 15, "Bombshells," of season 7 has just proved that the show still has ways to surprise me, even if does so by dipping into alternative genres such as sitcom, action, zombie horror and musical. This video is Lisa Cuddy's final dream sequence.

STYLE OBSESSION: Multi-coloured stripes

Stripes have always been a love of mine - my wardrobe is choke-full of stripy outfits and I often have to stop myself from buying even more. Yet, I may just HAVE to buy more, since the multi-coloured stripes trend suggested for spring by Marc by Marc Jacobs and Prada is too delicious to resist!

"Mad Men" returning for 2 more seasons

Great news for all MAD MEN fans out there - including myself! Mad Men executive producer Matt Weiner has finally struck a deal with AMC and production company Lionsgate to renew the show for seasons 5 and 6, and, possibly, 7. Weiner also pointed out that seventh season (if it is to happen) would also be the end of Mad Men - as that's "how long the story is." The only sad part is that we have 17 months to wait for next season, which won't be airing until MARCH 2012. In the meantime I leave you with some cool poster and magazine art for the fabulous and admittedly most stylish show on TV today...
