Recap : After The Bachelor finale

So I have been incredibly quiet about this and have not voiced my opinion on what has happened since the Bachelor finale. But - I can no longer hold it in. So here goes...

Louise and Blake on The Project

Firstly, the proposal where Blake announced to Sam (and the whole Australian public) that he has one final question for Sam and tells us he is sure of it but doesn't make the effort to date his fiance or see her face-to-face? Strange

After the finale, no interviews with the media is scheduled and this is indeed very strange.

Blake and Louise on their final date
Secondly, he dodges questions when asked by the media, including Channel Ten's The Project. He is obviously not going to tell us the truth. He is obviously in love with someone else and has something about it.

In conclusion, he is one confused dude who needs some harsh talking from his mother and aunt. Who on this world, pronounces their love for one person and being so certain about it and then a few weeks later changes his mind. If he felt pressure to proposed by Channel Ten, he should have realised it's his life and Tim didn't proposed and that has worked out pretty good...

I did want Louise to win, I absolutely loved her and her sense of style but I didn't want her to win her love this way. But I wish them the best of luck.

Silly goose.

What do you think?

Have a lovely day!

Recap ; We are Down to 2!! The Bachelor Australia

So now I really don't know who Blake is going to pick!

He has told both Lisa and Sam, he is falling for them - hard.

But Lisa and Sam have declared their love and feelings for him.

Louise went home (I knew it!). They have a more playful and fun relationship, as oppose, to serious and 'will this last forever'? 'can we just be fun and playful for the rest of our life?'

See below style photos from last night






So who you think he will choose???

Makeup : Bobbi Brown's Smokey Eye

As an Asian, I am terrified of wearing a smokey eye. The risk of looking like a panda is very high

Regardless, I went along to the Bobbi Brown counter in David Jones to try out a new eye shadow palette Bobbi Brown has brought out.

I had my eyebrows filled in and I had a more 'subtle' version of a smokey eye.

The end result, I didn't look like me anymore! My eyebrows had a life of its' own and my eyes looked so awake, I thought my eye balls might pop out of my socket.

But below is a gorgeous photo of Kate Upton with the same look (left). (Can you believe she's only 22?)

I think she wears smokey eye better than me.

I much prefer if they did the golden glow look on me.

Now tell me do you wear a smokey eye? If so, how do you wear it?
If not, what eye makeup do you do?

Recap : The Bachelor Australia - Who will Blake Choose?

Last week's episode was Home Towns where Blake visited the family of the final four Bachelorettes. This is normally a daunting event and things did go wrong when Blake accidentally knocked a champagne glass into Louise's father but things mostly did go right. (Jessica left without the rose at the end of last week's episode).

The preview for tomorrow night's finale shows Blake proposing with a $58k Bunda ring!! Ehhh, hello?? Lucky girl.



So how did the home dates stack up?? (I'm going to keep it simple)

Louise

  • their relationship is playful and fun
  • her parents liked Blake
  • Blake liked Louise's family
  • they are always making out


Sam
  • Blake tells her, he is FALLING for her (big news!)
  • He loves her family
  • Her family loves him
  • She puts up a wall and he feels vulnerable (queue sad music)



Lisa
  • They have fun together
  • He is amazed how loaded her parents are
  • Her family likes Blake









So who do you think Blake will propose to??

And while you ponder on that question, here is another photo of Blake...

Model Spotlight : Kendall Jenner for Miss Vogue Australia

Kendall as she is now professionally known has been taking the modelling and fashion industry by storm (she dropped her last name, perhaps as an attempt to further herself from the crazy tv show, Keeping Up With the Kardashians and her crazy family.)

In the Spring/Summer fashion shows, she has been busy walking down the catwalk for Balmain, Marc Jacobs and Chanel but she has taken some time to pose for the camera for Miss Vogue Australia.

See below for the gorgeous photos.

Cover : Vogue on Blake Lively

You may immediately think of Gossip Girl when you think of Blake Lively or she's married to Ryan Reynolds.

But did you know, she spent two years building a website called Preserve before she officially launched it.

Her website is dedicated to food, clothes, pillows, dishes, dining tables etc...a bit like Martha Stewart's areas of expertise. It's a magazine so you can read, videos so you can watch and a shop so you can buy if you see something you like.

To visit her website, click here.

Vogue US recently headed to Blake's favourite place and shot some amazing photos against some breathtaking backdrops. Photos by the great Mario Testino.







Will you check out her website?

Issue : Feminism - this is what Emma Watson thinks

This is a heavy topic and I must warn you, if you do not want to be challenged mentally and think through what is happening around the world right now (and decades that have past) regarding gender equality, then you should stop reading here.


But for those who has witnessed some inequality in some shape or form, then I think it's time we speak and discuss this issue.


This issue that affects the way I live my life and the way that women live their lives around the world. So what is the big deal? And why did Emma Watson speak for over 10 minutes at the U.N. Headquarters in NYC about this?

Below are quotes from Emma's speech, they provide clarity:

"For the record: Feminism by definition is the belief that men and women should have equal rights and opportunities. It is the theory of the political, economic and social equality of the sexes," the British actress said, framing gender equality as a human right."


Watson also cited Hillary Clinton's 1997 Beijing speech about women's rights to show that strides forward have been slow: "Sadly, many of the things that she wanted to change are still true today."


"How can we affect change in the world when only half of it is invited or feel welcome to participate in the conversation. Men, I would like to take this opportunity to extend your formal invitation, " she said as the audience cheered. "Gender equality is your issue too."



If we think of it a little further, gender equality extends both ways. Men in this society are often pressured to act tough, strong and not show any signs of vulnerability and any sign of weakness. So therefore, blocking half of human emotions.

This obviously does not sound great and as Emma has pointed out, the biggest killer in the UK for men is suicide. This rate is higher than diseases, heart attacks, etc.


So I would like the men to support the women and I would like the women to support the men.

Because in all honesty, I cannot or could not have lived without the men in my life, my father, my grandfather and my fiance. So I am sure you would say the same.



What are your thoughts?

What have you experienced?

P.s Feminism is not a cringe-worthy word. Your mother, sister, grandmother, aunt and cousin needs your support to stand up for what is a human right.

Red Carpet : Brownlow Medal 2014

Every year, most of us know there is the Brownlow Medal. As much as I don't know much about the event or the sport, I do pay attention to the fashion the WAGS (that is the Wives and Girlfriends of these AFL players).

The most famous WAG is Rebecca Judd and she did not disappoint. She is a fashion and style regular.

Check out some of the red carpet pictures:

Fashion : the Women of the Bachelor Australia's Style

Right now, we are down to just four ladies remaining in the competition for Bachelor Blake's love.

The remaining ladies are Lisa, Louise, Sam and Jessica.

Along the way, there has been plenty of drama and a showcase of quite a few entertaining characters including the Audrey Hepburn lookalike in Laurina and additional ladies to gain Blake's attention.

Below are some of my favourite outfits the ladies have worn.

Louise in Episode 16, in the popular style of two pieces 
Laurina in Episode 15, channelling her favourite, fashion icon, the late Audrey Hepburn
Louise again in Episode 13, in a gorgeous Sheike dress.

Zoe in Episode 13, who was just booted but not because of this outfit.
The Bachelor is on Wednesday nights at 7.30pm.
