The Les Misérables movie might not open for another few days, but information about the highlights recording was recently made available. As expected, there’s a new song (an “unwritten rule” for movie musicals so they could qualify for an Academy Award nomination), and many familiar favourites, including “I Dreamed a Dream”, “Stars” and “On My […]

With a theme of 1960s London, going into the disco era of the 1970s, Betsey Johnson’s Fall/Winter 2012 collection opens with a short video of girls screaming at who’s presumably The Beatles. The collection was full of bright colours, miniskirts, floppy hats, chunky sweater dresses and po’boy caps we see a typical Betsey production of […]
I’m going to do something different this session. Rather than at Shorty Stories, my Petite Fashion Challenge is being posted at DelectablyChic!, a site that focuses on general style, rather than something that is height/petite-specific.

I had the opportunity to try the location in London. Risotto from the dining room’s tasting menu Fifteen, which is located in a more residential area, has two parts. […]
During my trip to London, I also got a chance to spend some time exploring the pricier stores, including Harrods. Yes, Harrods is one place you should visit, even if you don’t purchase anything (as I’ve said in an earlier post, it’s better to buy in the US or Canada for many North American brands). […]
