Miley Cyrus to concentrate on movies -Quits music

Miley Cyrus’s ardent followers were really disappointed after hearing the news that she will be quitting her singing profession in exchange for acting.

Cyrus is recently working for her upcoming movie The Last Song and is excited to enter the glitzy profession as an actress full time. She mentioned that her recent album will be released in the month of June and would be her last album as a singer. After that she will be full-fledged into acting.


Last year, Cyrus had announced while quitting her show, Hannah Montana that “she had grown out” of the role she had played since she was 12 years old.

The fourth and last music album for Cyrus would be ‘I Can’t Be Tamed’.

MAC Dame's Desire, Give me Liberty of London + Prim & Proper

I picked up a couple of products from MAC's Liberty of London collection a couple of weeks ago.

Here is an FOTD using a couple of the products:







On my eyes I used only two eye shadows: MAC's Dame's Desires eye shadow all over the lid going slightly above the crease. Then on the outer edges of MAC's Dame's Desires, I used MAC's Give Me Liberty of London eye shadow. I am also wearing MAC #4 lashes


On my cheeks I am using MAC's Prim & Proper blush


On my lips I am using MAC's Hue lipstick (from the permanent MAC line)


Here are the product picures and swatches.


First up, MAC's Dame's Desires eye shadow




Next is MAC's Give Me Liberty of London eye shadow





Here are swatches. The top swatch is MAC Birds & Berries eye shadow from the collection however I did not use it in this FOTD. The middle swatch is Dame's Desires and the bottom swatch which is difficult to see is the warm peachy colour of Give me Liberty of London




Here is the MAC Prim & Proper blush that I used in my FOTD



Here is the swatch of the blush

Have you checked out MAC's latest collection called Trip?
And my friend Dale was so sweet to send me a flower arrangement on Monday before his flight out of Toronto.


Oooo and it came with a $50 gift certificate to the movies :) That's the first time I think I got something in a flower arrangement. I know what I'm going to spend it on already - I want to use it to see Toy Story 3 in 3D when it comes out this summer!!!


The bouquet is so Spring and pretty:



Aren't these flowers so pretty?! They even stuck a fake butterly on a stick in it

It's the first time Dale has sent me a bouquet that was not roses. In the past month we had a couple of serious discussions about our friendship. I think at one point he really wanted it to be more than just friends but I stood firm on wanting just a platonic relationship. I'm happy that it's worked out and I think this type of flower arrangement reflects that :)
Angelique is a lovely blogger with great hauls (lots of gorgeous lippie hauls lately) and she's having a giveaway to thank her first 50 followers. Look at the prize - OMG that HK bag is soooo cute, she's also giving away those Red Cherry lashes I keep hearing about but can't buy in Toronto and then the Beauty Diary masks as well as others:

Check out her blog. Her giveaway is here.
Aaaand, don't forget to check out my sponsored giveaway here if you live in the USA or Canada. You can win of the six prizes! My giveaway ends in two days and I will announce the winner on my blog after the long weekend :)
How is your week coming along so far? Do you have plans for the weekend yet?

Nike Air Max LeBron VII Michael Jordan

We showed you some sample pictures a few days ago from Ty @Leaders. Pictures now of the official "non sample" Lebrons have been floating around. Keep in mind these will NOT release to the public. Check out the official versions of these! Gotta love the Jordan 11 inspiration on these. The thing that intrigued us the most was the fabric material that lays over the flywire on the side panel of the shoe. On top of the black premium leather that also surrounds the shoe, it looks amazingly comfortable!




Air Jordan 1 + Air Jordan XX

The beat goes on!!! These Jordan retro 1's are inspired by the Jordan 20 with it's wht/red/blk color scheme and overall look/feel of the 20. Taking the laser print on the side panel and the luxury red sock liner this make comfortable retro 1. Expect these to be in stores on May 15th for $115.

Miley Cyrus to appears on The Ellen DeGeneres Show -31stmarch

We're still not over Miley Cyrus' weird hair-flinging - or convulsions, as Zap2It put it - during her song on last night's American Idol, (please head to the Lifeline Live FORUM to tell me I'm not alone in this) - but ... onward.


The pop star appears on The Ellen DeGeneres Show next week on Wednesday, March 31st, and Ellen gives her two bikes? Why? Because Ellen says she has seen Miley riding her bike with new boyfriend Liam Hemsworth.


Miley tells Ellen the chemistry with Liam when they first started filming The Last Song was "kind of awkward. We were both like, I liked him a little bit, he liked me a little bit, but it was awkward. Then I was like, 'Ok, just fake it. Please just pretend you like me,' and he was like, 'I don't have to pretend. I really do like you.' Ok, you're going to be my boyfriend cool. ... I was like, 'Good,' and we've been together for 10 months now and I'm really happy."

Nike Air Penny III – Black – Metallic Silver | HOH Summer 2010

I never was a huge fan of the Penny 3 just because at the time it was not a comfortable shoe at all. This revised version which is said to only being released at the House of Hoops locations in April looks to be the exact opposite. Silver on this black is always an eye catcher. I still have a feeling that the elastic in the tongue area might be a problem with some people that plan on rocking them just cause and not for a hooping shoe. I knew cats back in the day that use to cut the elastic off, but that is another story. Lol. Thought?




Air Jordan 1 “Foamposite” – Sneak Peek

Shout out to the homie G-Roc @TheShoeGame for coming through with the Jordan Event with Jason Mayden where he previewed the Foamposite Jordan 1. These will be out sometime for Holiday 2010 release for Jordan Brand. We keep trying to tell you that the Jordan 1 saga is not going to stop. These appear to be the same exact foundational structure as the retro 1 but laced with the "foamposite" material. Don't know how well these will be received but time will tell. Thought?

Air Jordan IX (9) Premio – Bin 23 – New Images

Just when you thought the "quality" control issues were a problem Jordan Brand is sure changing the beat of the drum with these types of releases. Following after the Jordan Retro 2 we showed you all detailed pictures of last week, we now see a retro 9 done up in some premium materials. The sock liner appears to be the ones used on the 25th anniversary 9, white premium leather with a touch of the gold accents and red wax "bin23" stamp in red of the side. No official word yet on the release but sure we will see them hit shelves with a $150+ tag on em! Keep you posted once we get more solid info.


Air Jordan 25th Anniversary III (3) IV (4) IX (9) Available!

So this past week the "All White Everything" released at select retailers. So we guess it wasn't as "limited" as Jordan Brand was hyping it up to be. We stopped in a few stores over the weekend and they had plenty in stock! What we did capture is that the Jordan 9 was selling quicker than the 3 and the 4 which was a little surprising. You can still grab these on {Nike.com} if you were not able to grab the ones you wanted in your city!! Let us know what you all think of this release.

Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth were cycling


... to the local 7-Eleven in Toluca Lake, California. 'The Last Song' co-stars (and real life couple) were spotted riding

their bikes to the convenience store.


Apparently, Miley Cyrus got upset with a paparazzo and stopped to confront him (see thumbnail below). He must have said

something really out-of-line for her to confront him.


Billy Ray Cyrus waited for Miley and Liam Hemsworth in the 7-Eleven parking lot. I guess they figured riding their bikes

one way was enough (or they decided they'd had enough of the paparazzi :).

Brant House, The Spotted Dick + a pair of Guess shoes

I love to go clubbing :)

On Saturday night Jasmin, Mandy and I went to Brant House nightclub again.

Here's my beautiful friend Mandy (right) and I (left). My purple dress is from Sirens




Mandy again:




My other beautiful friend Jasmin:




On Sunday I met up with Dale since he's flying back out to Calgary this afternoon.

We went to see Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland together.





Both Dale and I really enjoyed the movie!


If you've seen or read Alice in Wonderland, who is your favourite character? I can't decide who's my favourite. Dale likes Chester the cat.


And Dale wanted to buy me a pair of shoes before he flew back out West. Okay, I've been going on and on about the Guess peep toe platform shoe in the style name Hondo for some time now.





They are very comfortable on me and I think they're great with jeans or a dress.





So I asked Dale if I could get that same Guess shoe in a coral colour that I saw at the shoe store Sterling. And he did buy this for me :) For some reason, I have not seen this colour shoe at the Guess Store yet.






















After the movie and shopping, Dale and I went to The Spotted Dick pub to catch the end of a March Madness basketball game

How was your weekend? Did you relax and/or head out for a bit?

I'll be taking a road trip with my parents and older sister to Pennsylvania for shopping at Grove City outlets :)

Friday Night Branthouse + Parsley to fight onion breath!

Last night my friend Alex and I wanted to check out The Courthouse nightclub. We found out it was closed after taking a cab there. Ugh, closed on a Friday?!! Anyways, I decided we should go to trusty Brant House nightclub.

My signature sleepy look ;)


And here's Alex. Not the most flattering picture but in all his other pictures his eyes are shut




And sometimes the strangest things make me happy - like these two basil and parsley herb plants I bought on Thursday




They were only $2.99 each at Sobeys!

And maybe I'm crazy but I think these plants are kinda cute :)

I intended on buying the parsley plant because I love to eat foods with lots of garlic and onions in them. If you're like me, you'll know that even if you brush your teeth after eating, about 10 minutes after that the garlic and onion scent creep back into your breath.

Chewing gum helps. But if I'm drinking beer (any carbonated beverage), it makes me burp and yep....no need to explain further LOL.

So I heard eating parsley really helps onion breath and parsley is also often found in doggie dental bones so it must work - hence my new plant. Now I can eat my favourite foods on nights that I'm going out and drinking carbonated beverages :) I'll just wash down my onion/garlic ladden dinner with a few leaves of parsley and basil. I hope it works!

Are you currently growing any indoor plants/herbs? (no not those kinda herbs silly! LOL)

How did you spend your Friday evening?

;) Karen

Nike Air Max LeBron VII x Air Jordan XI – Heroes Pack

Shout out to Ty over at Leaders for killing it once again for the internetz!! Don't get to excited because these will NEVER hit shelves at your local retailers. This so called Heroes Pack which included colorways inspired by Penny Hardaway and Deion Sanders. Do you see the little hint of Jordan 11 in these as well??? Let us know what you think! Again..these we only passed out to Lebron and certain people in his crew.



Guess & The Body Shop - gifts from Dale

My friend Dale is in Toronto this week and I got together with him for lunch yesterday at Baton Rouge.

He's a really kind person & likes to take me shopping once in a while. He wanted to take me to Forever21 but I didn't think there was anything there that I wanted so I asked if I could go to Guess because there was this watch I've been eyeing the past month.
And I'm so happy he bought it for me :) Yay!


Dale also bought me these Guess shoes. They are still sold online here



I really love this shoe. I'm obsessed with patent leather peep toe platforms. I have the same Guess shoe (style name Hondo) in a nude colour which I bought back in January and did a post about it here.
The sole is rubber so it makes it slip proof (yay!). And they are very easy to walk in and dance in. They are also comfortable :)

Dale was sweet enough to pick up a couple of my favourites at The Body Shop.


I love their vanilla lotion. It smells so yummy! It's my favourite vanilla scented lotion :)
He also bought me the Hemp Hand Protector which I love.
The sales associate was very helpful and she included a sample of the Hemp Hand Scrub as well as a sample of their Love Etc eau de parfum. It's a very pleasant floral scent.


Dale bought a couple of things for himself and the total came to about $75 CDN. I'm not sure what promo is going on at the moment but I got to chose a full sized Spa Wisdom item for free :) So I chose the Africa Spa Rich Body Balm (which is $25 CDN usually!)
Dale also brought back a couple of things for me from Calgary where he lives. He got me extras of the Absolutely Natural Peppermint foot cream, a bottle of the Absolutely Natural Rose Hips lotion, as well as a luggage tag with my initial on it.



How is your week coming along? Do you have plans for this weekend?
