Father-Daughter Relationships

Shani Alexandra — Fri, 28 Nov 2008 21:16:23 +0000

I will start this article with a confession. I never had a good relationship with my father, probably because he was too focused on my career than my feelings, my friends, etc. He never looked at me with compassion when I was sad, or when I got a bad mark.He always said :”You could have been better”.

I read this title today in a newspaper: “A young girl’s relationship with her family, especially with her father, may influence at what age she enters puberty, according to Vanderbilt University researchers”. In my oppinion this is true.Girls with a very good relationship with their parents/ father tend to develop later, and on the other side, girls with a cold or non-supportive relationship with their parents/father tend to develop at an earlier age.

Also, fathers can make such a difference in a their daughters’ lives. First of all, who’s the first man that girls make contact with in their childhood? Their father! And as a consequence the relationship with him sets the tone for all male-female relationships she will have in the future. Fathers are role models for their daughters.

Along with the serious responsibility of being your child’s first and most influential role model, parents should also take some time to have fun with their children.Spend some time together, cook together, but most importantly: take time to talk one to each other.

The Father-Daughter relationship teaches her what value she has as a person; her identity and self-worth develops from how you interact with her.If she is neglected by her father, she will learn to neglect herself too.
I have an advice for all fathers in the world: Be aware that you are shaping your daughter’s future by how you relate with her.

When a new season starts, every woman ask herself: “What should i wear this season? What is trendy?”. And in the same time a new shopping session starts.It is not so easy as men think.What men think is sexy, for us can be vulgar and vice versa.Shopping consume energy, nerves and money, of course.

I made a selection of nice looks, casual and elegant, suitable for every type of women-skiny, with shapes, short or tall, and the most important thing: affordable for everyone.Enjoy!

Fluffy and puffy! this is a trend and is fantastic.Beside luxury fur, designers brought this season syntetic fur and all kind of textiles like: soft polyester and soft mohair which is so sexy when it comes in contradiction with a leather belt. A very interesting form of the coats is Blowfish.Designers like Graeme Black,Giles Deacon and Christopher Kane and Jaeger, they are all bringing up the puffy fluffy look on the F/W catwalks in coat,jackets and dresses.

Soon you will be seeing a lot of super fluffy monogolian wool jackets on the street. You can wear wool jackets with a dress and some glass pearls or you can wear it also with jeans and a pair of boots UGG.

Are you a trendsetter?

Fashion Victim

Are you a fashion victim? Are you a trendsetter? Or you just like to admire? See which celebriety you can identify with when it comes about clothes.

Rihanna

Rihanna rocked the Kids’ Choice Awards in an H&M bustier paired with tapered Stella McCartney trousers. “I like high-fashion looks, but I never take it too far,” Rihanna has said. “I always bring it back to who I really am.” Since chopping her hair into an angled bob, Rihanna has favored primary-colored leather jackets (with matching nail polish), latex leggings and towering platforms.

Sarah Jessica Parker

Like Carrie, her famous Sex and the City character, Sarah Jessica Parker isn’t afraid to take fashion risks. Along with basics from her Steve & Barry’s line, Bitten, Parker favors sky-high heels, statement jewelry and curve-hugging dresses, like this sparkling number from L’Wren Scott.

Sienna Miller

The British style icon loves high-low pairings, like wearing her Alexander McQueen leather dress with a striped vintage bolero. “I like to accessorize with odd little trinkets and costume jewelry,” Miller told. “I don’t like to look too polished or done.”

BMW’s richest woman is blackmailed

Susanne Klatten

Germany’s richest woman has said a former lover has threatened to release pictures of them together if she does not pay him millions of euros (dollars), according to her spokesman.

Susanne Klatten’s spokesman Joerg Appelhans told CNN Tuesday that the BMW heiress alerted police in January this year that she was the victim of fraud and blackmail by a man he identified as Mr. S.

They afirm the man played this game since autumn 2007 and since then he has in many times threatened her to release pictures of their “meetings” together. It seems that in Germany this is the 4th case when a very rich woman is blackmailed.

“His goal was from the beginning to con her and to blackmail her into giving him money. She rigorously notified authorities even in light of the uncomfortable public repercussions this would have for her. The ensuing criminal investigation led to the arrest of the perpetrator,” Appelhans added.

“The blackmailing with pictures of the meetings they had began in the fall of 2007. First, the blackmailer demanded a loan of several million euros. Later, he attempted to solicit a much larger sum.”

In addition it is confirmed that an investigation has been opened and that a man called Helg Scarbi was arrested in January and is in custody in Munich but there are no more further details.

Klatten, the daughter of the late BMW chief Herbert Quandt, holds a 12.5-percent stake in the German carmaker and a 51.1-percent share of chemical company Altana.

In 2007 Forbes magazine listed her as the world’s 68th richest person, with a personal fortune of $9.6 billion.

Penelope Cruz-Mango’s fall-winter 2008/2009 image

Shani Alexandra — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 10:54:56 +0000

Mango is my favourite brand and i was very happy when i found out that they will open a shop in Romania. Of course the opening is delayed so i am pushed to go in Bucharest to buy clothes.
The new Mango Fall/Winter 2008-2009 collection has been named Romance because of the feminine touch in the garment details and its romantic floral mood. In addition, in this collection we can see a masculine touch in leather jackets and in tailors.
The colour palette is varied.From plum tones to lilac and floral attachments, it offers tulip coats with the volume accentuated in the sleeves, tweed jackets and tartan skirts, as well as belted cardigans to emphasise the waist.
Also, i am a fan of dresses and in this season, Mango offers to all the women who like to wear dresses, a variety of dresses, from strapless satin dresses to long, romantic gowns with frills, lace or bows; simple shapes embellished with gold. Also, the fur and feathers are never-failing.
It’s a tradition, that a successfull collection and brand should have a well-know face for image.Mango’s image for this collection is the international star Penelope Cruz.
The photographic duo Mert & Marcus have captured with special mastery the captivating look of the Madrid-born actress-an exotic lool combined with her experience in front of the camera.

Be ECO and in trend

Be EcO

Do you want to protect the enviroment wearing only ecological clothes? The designers are trying to get in line with the ecological trend and started to create dresses, pants, camies and shirts as you like. The new collection of Clara Rotescu, Be Eco, featured on the 8th of October contain pieces of clothes made by natural silk, wool or cotton and accessories from glass or artificial fur.

This third collection of Clara Rotescu was based on a slogan that seems to be in trend : Live ECO. And to maximally exploit this quote, the organizators had offered during the event many bicycles, trying on this way to promote some others ways of transport instead of the cars, which are poluting the air.

About Clara Rotescu’s collection we can say that was an explosion of colour and the textiles were very carefull choosen in order to emphasize the models’s siluettes. The make up was simple: a very thin black line on the superior eyelide.I think this was inspired by gheisha’s make ups.

You can see here the most representative clothes from this collection:
