Fashion Shark Attack!
Just found this! These sketches from AleXsandro Palombo of Anna Wintour combine my love for sharks with fashion! Love the combination of the two <3
Best of the Week
Here are the top 5 things you need to know this week!
1) Bridesmaids Movie
It's HILARIOUS! It really is like Hangover for women- they even have a female version of Zach Galifianakis' character Allen.
2) #losing Ashton Kutcher to replace Sheen on Two and a Half Men
Whether you love him or hate him there really is no one that can do Two and a Half Men BUT Charlie Sheen.
3) Disney’s Cinderella vs the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton.
The comparison between the outfits seen at the Royal Wedding and Disney's Cinderella are truly remarkable!

4) New Love: Face-framing choker necklaces
No more dangling pendants this summer, instead lets focus on stunners above the collarbone.
5) AleXsandro Palombo sketches The Donald
The artist responsible for sketching Karl Lagerfeld preggers and Anna Wintour on the toilet has decided to turn political with a sketch of Donald Trump representing everything BUT presidential.
*I think the sharks really bring the hair-do together*

NYC Secret Shopping Destination...
Shopping in Soho had to be one of the key highlights from my New York City trip!
In Soho I discovered an AMAZING fashion find; the store is called "Necessary" and the name could not be more suitable for the clothing you find inside the store. Think of H&M mixed with Top Shop and that is the vibe you get with Necessary.
Everything is inexpensive and stylish, and more importantly, it doesn't look cheap! There are some really cute dresses for Spring/Summer at the store right now and all their Fall shoes are on sale for amazingly low prices!
If you are in the New York City area you MUST check out Necessary!
Total for the day: I bought 1 navy printed dress, 1 pair of pale blue skinny jeans, 1 summer tees, 1 pair of jet black harem pants and a faded blue jean jacket for less than $200. AMAZING!
NECESSARY - located @ 442 Broadway - SOHO NY,NY

Finally in NYC! - Obama at Ground Zero!
Obama arrived at ground zero today to pay his respects to the firefighters and families that lost their loved ones and risked their lives on 9/11. Now that Osama has been killed, Obama hopes that the news will bring some kind of closure to the families that have been grieving for so long.
I was lucky enough to make it past the barrier to watch the whole thing go down at ground zero. In fact, U.S.A Today noticed that I had achieved such a great placement in the lineup to where Obama would be arriving that they came over to interview me.
Really, the only reason I got such a great spot is because I happened to be in the right place at the right time. I am staying at the hotel that is right next to ground zero and I could see all the people start to pile into the streets when they heard Obama was making his way to the site. I took a walk outside my hotel and I went into a pizzeria before I tried to fight my way for a spot to stand on the sidelines. I bought a beer and a pizza and when I walked out they had blocked off all other pedestrians behind a barrier, but I was able to stay where I was...next to pizza shop and Firefighters and Emergency Workers that had all been on location at the World Trade for the rescue and recovery of 9/11 victims. I heard some pretty amazing stories of heroic action that took place... I really don't know how they were able to look at so much death and still have a positive attitude today. These guys were really inspiring to listen to!
U.S.A Today also asked me my thoughts on what Canada thinks of Obama's visit to ground zero. I personally think it was the right move, as he is a major representative of the country it only made sense that he visit ground zero after his announcement of Osama's death; undoubtedly the biggest terrorists to have ever scared America into thinking they were indestructible. I think that the news and the re-visit to the ground zero site will bring closure to the families that lost loved ones that day and it is about time they had some relief.
U.S.A Today also asked me if I think Osama's death means more terrorist attacks in the future. I would have to say that yes, it does mean we are going to be on high alert for a while because Osama's followers will want to retaliate. I hate to think of what that retaliation will entail, but I am hoping that we catch them before any plans are set in motion. All we can do is hope.
All in all, it was a good day for my first day in NYC.
*Also!!! Anderson Cooper is literally on the rooftop next door to me right now on-air with CNN and I just want to hop over there and express my undying love for him and his reporting lol...but I will refrain myself!
*Also, fun fact I learned today - Hilary Clinton is much shorter in person!

May Issue of Glow Magazine
My gal Erin is featured in the May issue of Canada's GLOW Magazine.
This issue is all about "Sexy Short Hair for Spring"
In their Spring hairstyle spread, Erin is rockin' the sassy shag made popular by Joan Jett in the 80's. It's a light and wispy look accented with strong bangs to give it some weight. It's got that bed head vibe made possible by applying a curl-defying spray to your hands and scrunching your hair to give it some texture. Finally to finish off the look, set your style with a lightweight aerosol hairspray.
I love this hairstyle since it's right up my alley of playful edgy-chic. Erin is definitely rockin' it well!
