Pat-a-cake, Pat-a-cake, Baker's Man...

So Kim, Part 2 of your skincare regimen consists of cake!?! LOL No, but you guys I couldn't resist posting this cool editorial from Marie Claire China. I'm such a sucker for a sweet editorial. I know. I'm such a TEASE.

It features pastel hair models (Masha P & Anna I), photographed by Amber Gray, wearing Louis Vuitton, Prada, Jean Paul Gaultier and making cakes at a bakery!

I had to laugh, because the lopsided cake the model is carrying below is probably how my cake would turn out if they stuck me in a bakery. There's even a cool video. Trust me it's a definite must watch.

Makeup is by David Tibolla. Pastel hair is by Yoichi Tomizawa. The stylist is Guillaume Boulez.



What's Your Favorite Type of Cake?
I love wedding, red velvet, chocolate, birthday, carrot and lemon cake...to name a few. LOL
 
I'll post Part 2 of my skincare regimen tomorrow (fingers crossed hahaha)

Architectural Digest India featuring Deepika Padukone

Architectural Digest just recently launched publication in India. Isn't that amazing? I was astonished, because with all of the beautiful architecture, sculpture and art India has you would think this would've been implemented years ago. I had to do a double take when I read it and ask why so long?

To grace the inaugural issue they enlisted Deepika Padukone. I haven't followed her career and know nothing of her personal life, but what I've read is truly extraordinary. She's very accomplished and beyond beautiful.

I thought the photo shoot for this editorial was simply gorgeous, because it encompasses exquisite designer fashion and fabulous India interior design.

Watch the video. They show closeups of all the fabulous India decor used in this spread. It's breathtaking and amazing. I really enjoy learning about other cultures.Have a great Monday! :)

Hello Kitty + Laduree = A Sweet Collaboration

Hello Kitty Fan? Laduree Fan?
I received an email from Laduree announcing their Easter 2012 Collection. The email also mentioned there was a special Hello Kitty and Laduree collaboration. How sweet is that? Does one ever grow too old for Hello Kitty? I find Hello Kitty just as charming today as when I was younger.

Laduree ALWAYS makes me love/hate them for these announcements. It seems you can only buy this collection in Laduree STORES or on a website called Colette.fr. I couldn't find this collection on Laduree's website. Shhh...Maybe it's a secret? Hope I'm not kicked off the mailing list! LOL

BTW My New York Blogger Buddies! Yesterday was Happy Macaron Day ! Is it just NYC or Everywhere? All these secrets. I'm just finding out. HaHaHa

Kate Moss Puts On The Ritz!


Oh gosh! I love the Ritz ANYthing!!! Whenever you step into a Ritz Carlton Hotel you are transported to another place. A magical place! HaHaHa As was Kate Moss in this beautiful editorial by Vogue. It's photographed by Tim Walker at the Ritz Paris.Click HERE to view the story behind every pic. Read the write up by Andre Leon Talley, it's amazing. When I saw a glimpse of this editorial on Laura's blog Style Notes, I just knew I had to post it for my readers too. I enlarged some of the photos, so you could see the designs in detail. My readers know from my birthday post that I was given a gift card to stay a weekend at The Ritz. I can't wait to use it. It will probably be this summer. Hmmm, one day I would love to visit EVERY Ritz in the country. Now that's a list! HaHaHa Trust me, they all look good. LOL

 I'm ready for some pink bubbles and monogrammed towels! 
PINK bubbly would be nice too! LOL :) 
Have a Ritzy Tuesday Everybody!
