in the news: buy bella’s wedding dress

November 22, 2011 in fashion

*A friend got married today and she’s also a big Twilight fan so this post is for her!*

Back in June, we discussed how Bella Swan would wear a Carolina Herrera wedding gown in Twilight: Breaking Dawn.

Now that the film is out, you can buy a replica of her dress from Alfred Angelo (though the design apparently has the blessing of the original designer).

The replica of Bella’s gown will set you back just $799, which is cheaper than the royal replica from ABS by Allen Schwarz. Interestingly, both dresses feature lace sleeves, so I’m sure we’ll see a lot of brides wearing that trend over the next few years.

If you would rather wait for the real thing, Carolina Herrera will start selling the “original” through her boutiques next year. No word on the price yet, but let’s assume it will be significantly more than the Alfred Angelo version.

What do you think of Bella’s gown? Would you wear a replica down the aisle?

(almost) at the movies: titanic 3D

November 21, 2011 in movies

Yes, you did read the title of this post correctly. The mammoth film about the mammoth ship is going to be re-released in 3D.

Personally, I feel it’s a little soon for a re-release but I guess next year, it will be 15 years since the original release (does that make anyone else feel really old?)

The trailer looks rather corny this time around – and is James Cameron really better known now for Avatar than for Titanic? How times change.

Check out the trailer below and then let me know… will you be queuing up to see Jack and Rose in 3D?

Titanic 3D will be released on 6 April 2012.

friday film: eat

November 18, 2011 in entertainment

Today we’re continuing the film series that we started last week.

Eat is one of the three films in Eat, Learn, Move, the series comissioned by STA Travel Australia. It’s a great look at food from all over the world, including some rather interesting cuisines (grasshopper, anyone?)

It makes me hungry and gives me itchy feet all at the same time! Enjoy!

(almost) at the movies: mirror mirror

November 17, 2011 in movies

As mentioned in my post about Snow White and the Huntsman earlier this week, there’s a second film coming out about the same fairytale.

In a bid to play catch-up, the trailer for Mirror Mirror has been released just days after its rival.

It looks like Mirror Mirror (which actually comes out first) is a more comedic (and Disney-inspired) affair, and I can’t help but think that this trailer was rushed through because it’s not nearly as slick as Snow White and the Huntsman.

Mirror Mirror is scheduled for release in the US on 16 March 2012.

What do you think? Which film are you more excited to see?

lusting for: versace for h&m

November 16, 2011 in fashion

Tomorrow is the big launch day for the Versace x H&M collaboration (unless you’re in the US, in which case you’ll have to wait until Saturday).

Prepare to get there early if you have something in particular in mind – you can prepare by checking out the price list for your country here.

Unfortunately work commitments will prevent me from queuing up in the morning but I’d love to hear from you if you make it yourself!

If there’s still stock when I arrive, I’d love to pick up one of the silk scarves ($29.95) or the black sleeved silk dress ($149).

To get you excited, check out the kooky ad for the collection below. Happy queuing!
