fallen princesses
Most women (and maybe some men) seem to associate the Disney princesses with some aspect of their childhood. My personal favourite would have to be Ariel from the Little Mermaid. I think that was one of the first Disney movies I watched as a child and I still love it to this day. Little girls are conditioned to look up to these princesses: Belle from Beauty and the Beast, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty. These figures become cultural icons that shape our childhoods and ultimately our views on women in society.
rain song
“Let the rain kiss you. Let the rain beat upon your head with silver liquid drops. Let the rain sing you a lullaby.”

style icon
So I’m at home on Friday night, taking it easy after several weeks of partying on the weekend. This weekend I’m going to take some “me” time, and write about something that I love… fashion!
Every girl has her style icon; for some it’s Kate Moss, others it’s Audrey Hepburn, but mine is someone who is not in the limelight so often, although has made great contributions to the fashion world. She is Kate Lanphear, Elle magazine’s fashion editor.
