The Quote of the Day
Beauty is also submitted to the taste of time, so a beautiful woman from the Belle Epoch is not exactly the perfect beauty of today, so beauty is something that changes with time.
Karl Lagerfeld

Beauty Tip of the Day
"Sometimes volumizing mascara formulas can be heavy and weigh down your lashes and take out the curl. She told me her best formula for the best lashes: 'Use a waterproof, lengthening formula first, it will hold the curl up. Then add a coat of volumizing mascara on top."
Movie Review of the Weekend
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is the first film in Columbia Pictures' three-picture adaptation of Stieg Larsson's literary blockbuster. The animating force in Stieg Larsson’s “Millennium” trilogy — incarnated on screen first by Noomi Rapace and now, in David Fincher's adaptation of “The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo,” by Rooney Mara — Lisbeth is an outlaw feminist fantasy-heroine, and also an avatar of digital antiauthoritarianism.
Journalist Mikael Blomkvist is aided in his search for a woman who has been missing for forty years by Lisbeth Salander, a young computer hacker.
Ms. Mara’s. Mr. Craig is an obliging sidekick, and the other supporting actors (notably Robin Wright as Mikael’s colleague and paramour and Donald Sumpter as a helpful detective) perform with professionalism and conviction.
THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO is the first of a trilogy of novels by the late Swedish writer Stieg Larsson that have become a worldwide publishing phenomenon. After the movie you have to read the books!!!

H&M Rumored To Launch A Luxury Brand
Rumors are circulating that the mega-retailer is planning on creating a luxury brand that's slightly more expensive than their high-end COS brand (we American H&M fans don't have access to COS, which has stand-alone stores in Europe). This new collection will mostly likely be its own separate brand under the H&M Group (which includes Cheap Monday and Monki), instead of something in-house like Topshop's high-end label, Topshop Unique. Says H&M spokeswoman Charlotta Nemline, “We are constantly looking at new ideas; it’s a natural part of our work. However, there is nothing new that we can [talk] about for the moment."
Designer Behnaz Aram, who formerly designed for the Swedish women’s ready-to-wear label Whyred, is said to be involved; Aram was recruited to H&M’s new business design team in August 2011 and works on the brand's COS, Monki, Weekday and Cheap Monday labels.
But if the brand isn't going to create luxury fashion in-house, it certainly aligns itself with designers and brands who do. H&M has collaborated with everyone from Karl Lagerfeld to Marni's Consuelo Castiglioni, and celebrities like Michelle Williams and Kristin Davis have been seen wearing dresses from its Exclusive Conscious collection on the red carpet. H&M's main business isn't in luxury fashion.
H&M, which opened its first store in Sweden in 1947, currently has more than 2,500 stores in 44 markets. The collections are also available online in selected markets.
H&M offers fashion and quality at the best price for women, men and children. In addition, cosmetics, accessories and home products are also part of the offering.
