Lancome's New Face

It’s official – Emma Watson is the new ambassadress of Lancome! She was spotted working with fashion photographer Mario Testino in Paris. No surprise there, the previous model with Burberry is definitely a beauty. Move over, Julia Roberts!

Pray for Japan

As many might have heard, Japan has experienced a devastating earthquake of a scale of 8.9, triggering a tsunami. This has harmed many in the country. May everyone’s prayers be with the Japanese, and I hope they will have a quick recovery. I visited Tokyo last summer, and it is absolutely gorgeous. I have a good friend there, and I immediately tried contacting her once I heard the news. Much to my relief, she’s doing fine. Please donate at http://www.redcross.org.

Topshop in Canada!

 
Today might just be the best day of my life. Okay, a bit of an overstated fact, but a fact nonetheless. TOPSHOP, my all time favourite British fashion store, has been confirmed to hit Toronto. It’s been confirmed that Hudson’s Bay Company has bought the rights to open Topshop, and they’re planning to launch 50 stores in Canada, starting with Toronto! The joys of living in the best city in the country;)
