SK-II, a high-end skin care line from Procter & Gamble Co. hired Cate as their new face not only because of her name and an amazing pale skin. The actress admits she's used SK-II for seven years to keep her skin in its famously good shape.

You can create and customize Harajuku paper dolls on the new website HP created for their campaign with Gwen Stefani.

Gothic Lolita Fashion

Fri, 24 Aug 2007 02:31:28 GMT

I found this pretty video album of Lolita Goth fashion pictures and thought to share. the trend is pretty popular in Japan and you can see some pieces on western fashion runways as well. Puffy sleeves and bows are pretty much regulars in the last few seasons. Gothic Lolita style is usually a black and white, often uses lace, ribbons and lace trims. Mostly these are very pretty girly clothes that... [Original Post on MyItThings.com]

Is this really Gwyneth??

Wed, 08 Aug 2007 15:08:07 GMT

The new cover of W mag goes too far and joins the endless photoshoped covers we've seen a lot lately. It's like a competition now, who's gonna make their cover girl less recognizable. Gwyneth Paltrow falls a victim of the perfectionist retouching artist from W, who decided that she is too human and made her look like the latest invasion from the space, with almost metal-smooth skin and hair. The ... [Original Post on MyItThings.com]

Beauty Smile Trainer from Japan

Tue, 31 Jul 2007 15:56:00 GMT

Ok, this accessory is really weird. A rubber piece you insert to your mouth will help to shape your smile to be wider and "happier", something similar to braces for your lips. this invention is coming from japan, the land of smiling people, so maybe they know a thing or two about smile training. I wonder for how long you need to wear this to get your Hollywood smile. Also, can you fix it after so ... [Original Post on MyItThings.com]

Jessica Simpson's new swimwear line

Mon, 16 Jul 2007 04:22:52 GMT

Jessica Simpson launched her swimwear line at the Miami Fashion Week this weekend! As you can see from the pictures there is nothing much exciting about the line. I couldn't find any signature style to follow or any reason to buy these. Jessica is known for being the most branded celebrity, with her cosmetics, hair extensions and bags lines. So now she is coming up with swimwear. I was actually lo... [Original Post on MyItThings.com]

Kelly Clarkson is Photoshopped again!

I saw this new cover of Kelly and couldn't believe agian. If you read my post from few weeks ago about Kelly photoshoped on the cover of Elle mag, you will see what I'm talking about. They did it again for Kelly! this time it was Blender mag that thought Kelly isn't perfect enough for their cover. Some airbrush, eraser and here we go, we got smoother slimmer Kelly.

Photoshoped Kelly Clarkson on the cover of Elle mag

Tue, 12 Jun 2007 20:48:12 GMT

Like many others did before her, Kelly fails a victim of the airbrush in her new Elle mag cover. You are probably surprised that a girl like Kelly would go under the knife (I mean Photoshop knife), but unfortunately it's a part of the culture of the magazine covers these days. I'm not even sure if anyone asked her approval for these photos; because I doubt she would approve her clearly erased side... [Original Post on MyItThings.com]

Toy looking building in Tokio

Tue, 01 May 2007 22:46:27 GMT

We all had toy buildings when we were kids, they were colorful and fun. One day we all have grown up and ended up in gray boxes were we all live surrounded by white walls and carefully planned square spaces. Imagine that one day buildings would be round and colorful... That would be refreshing. Well, some lucky residents of this Tokyo block already are living far from ordinary life in this amazing... [Original Post on MyItThings.com]

Philips goes high fashion with Swarovski's help

Sat, 14 Apr 2007 04:57:00 GMT

Electronic companies are definitely tired of geeks. They really started to pursue women lately and they do it with some help of couture. Philips convinced Swarovsky to dress up their boring flash devices with some stones and crystals. The result is a glamorous jewelry that hides gadgets. I guess in 21st century gals store gadgets in their medallions, instead of loved ones pictures. Ahh, technology... [Original Post on MyItThings.com]

Red hair

Thu, 05 Apr 2007 06:40:00 GMT

I've never been a fan of red hear - I mean the one you color and not the one you are born with, which is kinda cute. That bordoux tint in my opinion is actually adding years and makes you look old. Joss Stone has a gorgeos hair, but this latest look doesn't do it a justice. I liked it much better with natural highlights, it worked better with her skin tone and looked fresh and young. Hope she will... [Original Post on MyItThings.com]

Thoughtful chopsticks

Admit it - everyone has at least one friend that doesnt know to use chopsticks. It takes many times to learn eating with these and a lot of embarrasment and broken sushi along the way. So - someone really thoughtful invented these connected on one side chopsticks, so you dont need to worry about keeping them together. Just take it to your next sushi party for your "unexperienced" friend - and he/s... [Original Post on MyItThings.com]
