Net-A-Porter Review

<< Newsletter of Net a Porter for this month !  >>
 I am a big fan of a Net a Porter's website and their newsletter of the style updates. It really keeps me informed with their new selections and the new designers out there. They make shopping online experience real easy and accessible for everybody  by having  newsletters, Facebook page, Twitter page, and Net a Porter app .
Net a Porter website is amazing. I love the layout ! Their delivery comes so fast, it is really impressive. They always send your order packaged beautifully. The website has a great selection of products and their prices are reasonable considering everything on the site are brand names. However their customer service is horrible. God forbid one has a problem with their order and want to get hold with a customer service representative, because that would be almost impossible. It is a real shame for a real nice website to have terrible incompetent people working for their customer service. In my opinion if the customer service is bad, it almost throws off all the positive things the site offers. Therefore, I find this website useless to shop from, but their newsletters would probably continue to stay a good update for me in the fashion sense.

The iPhone White is Here !



The iPhone 4 , white version is finally out after 10 months of delay. It turns out that it's not only late, but also thicker than the black iPhone. I don't know why it took such a long time to release the white one, and I honestly find it to be useless to be release at this time, because everyone would want to wait for the iPhone 5 to be released, which is supposed to be within the next few months. Its very weird that apple website doesn't say anything about the size difference. I found out that there is a difference through Ryan Cash's blog site (http://ryancash.net), who posted comparison shots of the two models. He didn't measure the devices, but the difference is noticeable with the naked eye.I have no idea why Apple does not mention nor explain the reason for the thickness of the white phone, i hope they do so soon. So for now, for all those who are interested in the white iPhone and wont  use a case for their white iPhone 4 should have no problems with the extra thickness, but if you plan on buying a case for your shiny new white iPhone 4, it would be best to check if it fits first.

Kate Middleton's Second Royal Wedding Dress for Reception


Kate who will now officially be known as the Duchess of Cambridge, wore another gorgeous Sarah Buton for Alexander McQueen gown, while William traded his military uniform with a black tuxedo. Its not uncommon for the bride and groom to change into something more comfortable, so I don't think anyone was really surprised by it. 


I loved the simplicity of Kate's second wedding dress, she really looked stunning. Kate Middleton shined and dazzled at the wedding reception with the strapless white satin gown shown above. The dress has a subtle and simple cleavage and a gorgeous diamante detailing around the waist. Her gown has a little bit of a modern touch and emphasized by small details. She matched her second dress of the day with a simple white shrug that kept her warm for the night.



Congratulations !!!

Easter Eggs

<< My face Easter eggs for this year >>
For years we have been decorating Easter eggs in solid vibrant colors with store-bought egg dye, food coloring dye, natural dye (ex: vinegar, beets, etc.), or the colorful art tissue paper found in art supply and craft stores. Easter egg decoration was always fun, but time and money consuming as well. Since this year round, i didn't have the time to run to the stores to buy the dying kit or make it naturally, i decided to use a different technique. I made face eggs by adding features such as mouth, nose, and eyes simply by using permanent markers that i had at home. Everyone loved it when they came over, and fought on which face egg they wanted to use and play with. I have to say, i loved how the Easter eggs turned out as well, it came out more creative, unique looking, less costly , much faster and enjoyable process. All in all , sometimes not using the traditional methods of thins turns out to be a more benefit able to the person.

Rumor ?!



I heard one of my friends talking about how Paris Hilton has herpes . I jumped into her conversation and asked her , how do you believe automatically what the media says? Obviously there are many rumors floating around about Paris Hilton and celebrities in general and I'm sure Paris Hilton having herpes is one of them. Later that day i went and checked on that rumor and it actually turned out true. This time its not just another rumor that's floating around. I honestly feel very bad for all the celebrities that have absolutely no privacy. All their news are out and about for the public. Definitely  a sad thing, but its a consequence that comes in with "fame" i guess.

Affordable, Luxurious, and Great Location


I just had the the chance to upload some  pictures of Cabo San Lucas trip of my spring break. I have to say the best part of the trip was the hotel we stayed in. The hotel is very nice, exceptionally clean and the staff are extremely friendly. The employees Kimmi and Cesar were top notch, they made our stay welcoming and fun. I would love to return to ME Cabo for the reason that to see them again. Rooms were clean and modern, It has a nice balcony facing the pool from where we could observe all the action for the day at the pool. The pool always had music and ambiance as well as comfortable beds. This is not the place to go for only peace and quiet. ME is a party hotel on weekends, on the other hand the pool area on the weekdays is very quiet and relaxing. On Saturdays they tend to have loud music, where everyone dances around the pool area. Also on Saturday one has to reserve beds around the pool with a minimum charge, which was totally worth paying for.We all LOVED the swim up bar and the fact that they have happy hours in the mornings. 
The view from our room-balcony 


There isn't enough words to describe how impressed i was by ME Cabo. I would definitely want to go back to Cabo and won't even think twice about staying any where else but in ME by Melia. Overall we had a great time at Me Cabo and would recommend everyone to look at ME by Melia if you are heading to Cabo San Lucas. 

For further information, here is the link to the hotel:-

Cake Balls Are The Newer Dessert Gaining in Popularity

A friend of mine Nicole is a UCLA graduate with bachelors degree in Communication who recently discovered her passion in baking . She bakes cake balls and cake pops in a variety of flavors and a whole lot of personality! 
Her cake balls are to die for . If you think you have had the best cake balls at some place , then you should definitely try hers and see how your top list dessert place will change. 


Here are few pictures of the most delicious  Home-made cake balls ! 
Haute Cakes are more than just a bite-sized dessert. In truth, they are personalities that come to life with every bite you take. Wether you're feeling classy, sassy, or maybe even a little bossy, only a Hauttie will satisfy the real you. 

 Mocha Cake Balls , this is my personal favourite one  ! Its made by her original chocolate cake with a touch of coffee. Her homemade chocolate cake has more texture and flavor than a typical boxed mix. Its dense, fudgy and incredibly moist, which is a perfect beginning for these chocolaty treats. 

Look into her website and try the most delicious cake ever which will become any chocoholic's dream ! :- http://myhautecakes.com

A Well Living Lounge in CSUN

This is pretty amazing. I'm graduating this May from CSUN, and I'm still discovering new areas in the campus along with some of the services they offer that i have never seen before. I really wish I knew CSUN had this.   I remember there were many times in my past school semesters, where i had this huge gap in between classes in which i was extremely tired and was kept picturing a place to nap for as little as 2 minutes. I must say this is a one insane idea. A university that has a place for their students to release some of their stress and relax , it really must be every student's dream! So whoever is still going to be attending CSUN for next coming months, i highly suggest for you to take advantage of the amazing services the school is offering , and try to explore CSUN as much as you can ...don't just wait till your last semester to see stuff and regret not seeing it earlier.
