Need inspiration? Hello Europe!


So who watched the Eurovision Song Contest? A bit of history for you: this annual singing competition started back in 1956 and has launched several big careers - ABBA won in 1974 (with 'Waterloo') and Céline Dion in 1988.

This year, 39 countries participated. They use a rather loose definition of 'Europe' - included are Russia and Azerbaijan, for example - but who cares about the politics?!

I never used to watch this - tacky! embarrassing! - and never admitted to it if I did, but I thought Norway did a great job of hosting this year's contest. And the participants were um... inspiring!

Does your guy want a bold, new look? Go for a blonde fringe - Serbia shows you how!


Look to Turkey for your next party: blinding lights and Stars Wars fashion.


Want to know how to wear this summer's blue eye make-up? Look no further, Moldova has the answer!


So that's where Lara Croft from Tomb Raider has been hanging out! In Armenia and she now sings, too.


There were also serious performers. I quite like it when they sing in their own language but most of them choose English. And this bit is embarrassing: my husband voted! As in, he actually called, and not just once but three times! (for Albania)

I don't know how they organised these but they showed huge crowds in European cities doing choreographed dances together. (Think Austin Powers.) We just thought: all this fun, excitement and joy across Europe, it's so much better than killing each other in pointless wars!


The winner was Germany: sweet 19-year old Lena with the song 'Satellite'. She was a nobody before Eurovision! And now she's a star! 


Did you watch it? What was your favourite song? Did you vote?!

Man Fashion: New Era Caps for Fashionista Like You

When it comes to summer, the new era caps are the most popular choice of hip hop and sports fanatics. So what are new era caps basically?



The new era caps are the largest sports-licensed headwear company in the United States. The company is the premier cap provider for MLB, as well as a number of NBA and NHL franchises, plus a handful of major collegiate athletic programs.



Before we go further to commit our money into this fanatic caps, let look at what are the primary buying tips.



One of the first things that you should check is the quality of workmanship of your New Era cap. Examine the top of the hat and look at the top button. The button should be centered with the seams. If it is not, there is a good possibility that the cap is a fake.



In addition, check the quality of the stitching on the cap. On all authentic New Era Caps, the stitching will be smooth, dense, and tight. A good way to examine the quality of the stitching is to check out the stitching of the New Era logo. If it is uneven, crooked and/or seems to contain gaps between stitches, the hat is most likely a fake. Since the logo is one of the top branding factors, you can bet that New Era gets this right every time.



Next, check out the profile of your New Era 59Fifty fitted cap. The crown should be high and rounded. Inferior quality, imitation caps almost always tend to have a much lower profile and can actually look a bit flat across the crown.



You should also examine the New Era tag that is stitched on the inside of the cap. The edges should be stitched evenly, and the tag should lie smooth with no bunching at the edges. Crooked stitching that goes beyond boundaries most likely indicates a fake. You should also check for the New Era hologram on the underside of the brim of the hat. If your cap is missing this, it is probably an imitation.



In short, please put some common sense, time to examine these new era caps before you shelll out your hard earned money.

Man Fashion: Designer Bags, Daily Essentials

Designer bags are the perfect accessory to add a sense of style, charm and elegance to men's appearance. It's not surprise all fashion designers are now focus on designer bags for men. They are trendy, stylist and quite useful. Designer Bags come in varied shapes and sizes. You must be very careful in picking the right kind of bag which may suit your body type as well as your lifestyle. Check out our selection of designer bags, your daily essentials.





Retro Resonance

BOSS Orange's retro style cotton denim backpack goes against the grain of well dressed carriers. Details like cow leather trims, straps and drawstrings ensure hardiness and inspire backpacker style wanderlust.

This retro-style bag features three outside pockets, one roomy inner compartment and a zipper on the back. With adjustable shoulder straps and one carry handle at the top. With dimension of 50 x 42 x 20 cm, you can basically put almost your daily needs inside.





Exotic Travel

GUCCI's crocodile leather tote is guaranteed to elicit envy. The precious skin parades unabashed flair that would be right at home or at a high power night out. This double handle tote is secured by an inside push lock tab and features a zip pocket to compartmentalize your necessities! Like this, grab one for yourself here at $925.00 .





Homme Run

DIOR HOMME's DH2 large leather men messenger bag is designed for the city slicker like you and me. The satchel's no-nonsense appearance, exemplified by clean lines, ensures that it pairs well with your favorite suit or a T-shirt and retro jeans. Its soft shape and spaciousness can accommodate both laptop as well as large document folders!



Scrub your lips with Lush

Mad about Lush? Nah... been there, done that. I went through a Lush phase about two years ago and tried the bath bombs (or whatever they're called), the soaps, the massage bars, the hair products, the foot cream... you name it, all the bestsellers. I tried them for a few weeks, then gave everything away to friends. I don't like their packaging and the smells are sometimes too overpowering. Lush is not really my thing.

But never say never. I recently read about the new Mint Julips Lip Scrub. Now, I don't usually need to exfoliate my lips but the past few weeks they've not been as soft as I like them to be... so I thought I would give this a try.


Because it is a sugar scrub, and I am paranoid of having ants and other sugar-loving creepy-crawlies in the house, for my first try I stood at the kitchen sink and applied a tiny bit (you really don't need much) to my lips. I have since given it a home in the bathroom so I can scrub away in the bath or after I've washed my face in the morning or at night.

And what can I say? Wow! It's an exfoliator all right, the bits are big enough that you can really 'scrub' your lips with them. The sugar dissolves after about 20 seconds of rubbing. At this point, I'm not sure if other people lick the rest off?... but I rinse my lips with water. It leaves an oily film behind - that's the peppermint oil. The fragrance is quite nice (I'm sure many would say delicious), it reminds me of After Eight mints.


There was a pleasant tingling sensation for about three minutes after scrubbing. To finish, apply the Baume de Rose lip balm by Terry and voilà, perfect lips. Amazing scrub!

This is much better than the only other lip scrub product that I own - a limited edition thing from MAC, called Prep and Prime Microfine Lip Refinisher, that is half scrub, half lip balm. Nice idea but the black bits don't dissolve and it's not as creamy as the Lush one.
