My view. Orange sunsets and white snow, the warmth and the cold.
Do you remember the views I never tire of? This has been my view for a month now, yet I can’t stop staring out of my window. I keep telling myself: “Adela, go and do some work, you’ve seen enough.” I wonder if it will ever get boring?
Remember my last heel crush (okay one of many)?
Well here is another pair I crave from the Joseph Altuzarra’s studio.
Do you like my hair?
It was a long shoot yesterday in Connecticut, and I had time to ask my hair stylist, famed Edward Tricomi (alias Edward Scissorhands) to give me and my readers some tips on how to achieve this springy braided look. I feel like this winter has been going on forever, so spring bring it on!
What will you need?
A hair brush, few bobby pins similar to your hair color, 4 thin rubber bands, perhaps some hair spray & magical hands!
I’M READING…
‘Ballet Beautiful’ by Mary Helen Bowers.
Today I was shooting on location in Connecticut, so I had plenty of time to do some reading in the car. Hmm, I should have probably been studying as I have a lot of catching up to do, but I just can’t put this book down.
It really is amazing; I’m particularly enjoying her chapter about a positive mindset, once you have it and are determined enough, it will take you a long way. I’m starting to get into her ballet DVD as well, which I’ll tell you about soon. Now seriously off to my night school class. A x
Coconut oil!
The amazing make-up artist Kristen Arnett, also a dear friend, gave me this tip few months ago, since she did, I can’t live without it.
So it turns out, not only is coconut oil great for cooking (old news!), It’s also an amazing beauty essential. It removes simply everything from my face after a busy day of shooting, even when I go through 5 or 6 make-up changes.
It’ s good to keep it in the bathroom as the heat maintains a looser consistence and it’s easier to work with, using cotton pads. For traveling, spoon it out into a smaller container by Muji and you’re good to go.
My skin has never been happier, oops, I sound like a commercial! What the hell, let’s go with it….. “Raw cold pressed organic coconut oil, because you’re worth it! ”
Have you been playing with the thought of finally trying that green juice everyone is talking about? Or perhaps you’re already a green juice regular but it’s just way too cold outside to even start thinking about putting more cold into your body?
Well, that’s when my GREEN SOUP comes into play!
It’s tasty and it warms your heart. It’s easy to make and you can keep it up to 3 days, perhaps it’s the best way to start that green juicing ‘thing‘?
What do you need? Some kind of blender, any will do. A medium size pan and as many of the ingredients listed below as possible. If you miss any of them, not a big deal, get as much as you can for higher vitamin intake and mineral content. I promise 100% of the minerals will stay put, even when cooked.
Here we go:
I’ve known Simona for 12 years now; we first met in London where we braved castings together in harsh, rainy February weather. She was actually the one who introduced me to Starbucks, I had no idea what Starbucks was at that time or that anyone could charge that much for a cup of tea, almost my weekly pocket money at 16!
She has done so well and is now Editor in Chief of InStyle magazine’s Czech edition. We recently bumped into each other again at NYFW and she was lovely enough to share her fashion tips and thoughts on the shows in a short interview.
As we’re both Czech, therefore did the interview in our own language, I thought I should post it in Czech also; there are a lot of us out there!
