Cheap "My" Monday

I just bought my last pair of Cheap Monday jeans online. If you haven't heard about this brand before, Cheap Monday is a Swedish clothing label founded in 2000. Even though they only have one store located in Copenhagen, Cheap Monday sells its collections through other clothing stores all around the world.

Cheap Monday's products are unique and easily recognizable, whose style is vintage and trendy at the same time. The quality of the materials they use is very good; I got my first pair of Cheap Monday pants 6 years ago and I still wear them.

Their new collections for Spring-Summer 2011 are great. Check out their website and, trust me, you will fall in love with this brand!

Think Straight

Out of all straightener brands available in the market, ghd is probably the one with the highest quality along with the most fashionable design. I have had my ghd straightener for about 8 years now, and I have dropped it on the floor a million times, and it still works as good as the first day. The straightener cost me about $270; it may seem a bit expensive but, trust me, it is totally worth it. ghd straighteners warm up in 15 seconds and they straight your hair in a very fast an effective way, without "burning" your hair tips.

ghd just launched their new straighteners' line: Gold Series. The quality of the straightner is pretty much the same as previous models. On the other hand, the new model has a cooler lighter body covered in black and gold, and it incorporates a protective plate guard.

If you are thinking of buying a new straightener, you should definitely check their web site and get your ghd as soon as possible!

She Is THE WOMAN

Natalie Portman is the woman of the moment, and, in my opinion, she has always been. Born in Jerusalem, Israel, Natalie moved to the United States when she was 3 years old. Now, at the age of 29, she is considered one of the best and most talented actresses in the world. Natalie studied Psychology in Harvard for 4 years and she graduated in 2003, when she decided to focus entirely on her acting career; something we are all grateful for.

A couple weeks ago I went to the cinema to watch Black Swan, one of her latest films along with No Strings Attached and Thor, and I fell in love with her performance. I already liked her from other films like The Other Woman, Brothers, and Goya's Ghosts, but with Black Swan she has finally shown all her potential and incredible acting skills. Natalie's character, Nina, is a reflection of all personality traits you can imagine, and Portman does an amazing job representing every single one of them. Natalie Portman has been nominated to an Oscar for her role in this movie, and I hope she gets it, cause she deserves it more than anyone.

Smart, sweet, great actress and incredibly gorgeous, Natalie Portman captures everyone's attention wherever she goes. I wanted to mention her in my blog, not only because she is an amazing actress, but also because she is one of the few hollywood celebrities that always chooses the right outfit for her public appearances. Natalie's style is simple and elegant, and she knows exactly how to get the most out of her natural beauty.

It Dries Before You Realize!

When buying nail polish, probably you want it to look bright, to be durable, and...to dry fast!

One of the things I hate the most when doing my nails is to spend a long time on it. I always put a base coat, a color coat, and a top coat; and if you want your nails to look perfectly polished, you have to give the layers time to dry completely. With most nail polish, there is no way this proccess takes you less than an hour, so... here it is when "mister" Revlon comes to save you!

Revlon has always been my favorite nail polish brand; it is affordable and its great quality it is comparable to other top brands such as Chanel and Dior. You can find a wide range of colors at Walmart for the insignificant amount of 5 dollars each. Recently, Revlon has introduced their brand new nail polish line "Top Speed."

Last week I went to Walmart and they already had it out! From all the colors available, the "espresso" one grabbed my attention. I just did my nails, and the whole process took me just 15 min!

So yes, it is true, Revlon's "Top Speed" nail polish line does justice to its name.

DENIM Never Dies

No matter if it is at day time or at night time, if it is during summer or during winter, back in the 70's or in the 90's...denim dominates our lives!

This incoming Spring 2011, denim comes back stronger than ever. Interesting proposals are seeing the light of day thanks to some of world's top designers, such as Stella McCartney and Tommy Hilfiger, who already have their new denim collections out. Denim tissue will be present in dresses, shirts, trousers, skirts, jackets, shoes, purses and all kinds of accessories.

Good Morning Sunshine!

Hello everyone!

This is going to be my first experience in the "blogging" world. Hopefully I will enjoy it, and more importantly, I hope you will enjoy it.

Society in general pronounces the word "fashion" without the knowledge of what the term really implies. In "Do Not Take Fashion's Name In Vain," I will give my humble opinion about fashion in general, trying to make it something more valuable for all.

One important note...I am not a native english speaker, so if you see a bunch of terrible spelling mistakes or senseless grammatical constructions, I am not stupid, I am just Spanish.


Catch you later!
