I Heart Eco Bags!

Anya Hindmarch really made eco bags a cool item with her infamous "I'm not a Plastic Bag" shopping tote in the UK and the US. Here in New Zealand, designer Trelise Cooper would be our queen of eco bags. She has designed three collections for supermarket chains Woolworths, Countdown and Foodtown. The third collection has just been released. There are two designs, one with a summery flower print and a polka dot one. These bags are perfect as beach bags, book bags and of course shopping bags. I personally like to use the flower print one for grocery shopping and the polka dot one for books. These bags are limited so pick one up at your local Countdown, Woolworths and Foodtown for a mere $4.99. Bargain price! I like free stuff (I mean who doesn't?) and I have two bags to giveaway. One of each design. For details and terms and conditions go to my Competition section located on the right of my home page. Good Luck to everyone who enters!

Tarina Heart's First Copy!

I've just checked my stats for the day and I've found that someone out there in the internet world has copied my work. I'm actually really flattered! I'm not a journalist or wannabe journalist and I don't think I have great writing skills either. I'm just happy I'm getting more readers!

Tavi and Alexa new BFFs?

I love this picture of Tavi and Alexa Chung at the Chanel Spring 2010 Couture show. It's good they don't look too serious at a fashion event. This week has been haute couture week in Paris. Tavi, the 13 year old blogging sensation was lucky enough to attend the Chanel show. Jealous much? Why is Tavi so famous? I actually think that her age has to do with her being famous. I mean everyone thinks she's amazing because she started her blog when she was 11. All these people look up to her as some sort of child genius. Well I don't actually think it's that hard to be a blogger. Basically everyone knows how to use a computer these days. Will Tavi's novelty wear out when she finally grows into a young woman? I mean how many child actors have made the transition into adulthood? I can't even think of many. Hmm Elijah Wood, Drew Barrymore and........ seriously I can't think of anymore. I actually hope Tavi sticks to blogging when she's older as it seems to work for her. I just don't know how long her fame will last though.

I'm a Jinx!

This blog is turning into a tennis blog lol. Anyways both the Chinese tennis players are out now. Maybe I'm a jinx. Anyways they did pretty well considering barely anyone gave them a chance to even reach the semis. I am happy for Justine though. She deserves to make the final and I will be rooting for her when she plays Serena in the final. GO JUSTINE!

Another Underdog Story!


Been watching more tennis today and I'm really enjoying it. Venus Williams vs Li Na. Looked one sided to me but I've been proved wrong once again. Li Na lost the first set and looked like she was going to lose the second but somehow she managed to come back and win. It really was amazing! Kinda sucks she has to play her semi tomorrow against Serena, which means she doesn't get a days break like Zheng Jie. I'm not going to be surprised if Li Na or Zheng Jie wins tomorrow as I've been wrong twice.

GO ZHENG JIE!!


There's hope for all us short people. I'm been watching quite a bit of tennis lately and Zheng Jie of China has made it to the semi finals of the Australian Open today. It was quite amazing actually. To be honest I thought she wasn't going to win but she proved me wrong. The fact that she's short (only 165cm tall) I thought it would hamper her serving but I guess she made up for the serving by having a great return. I love going for the underdog and I will be cheering for her to win the championship. Go Zheng Jie!

The Alexa Bag


I've recently feel in love with the brand Mulberry. Maybe I'm trying to fill a void because my favourite English brand Luella stopped trading at the end of last year. Recession killed Luella! I hate you recession!! Anyways I stumbled across this beautiful bag on Mulberry's website today. It's called the Alexa Bag, named after the poster girl of London Chic, Alexa Chung. I've always loved Alexa's style. It's a cross between English girly and rock chick. Oh I better tell you guys, but this bag hasn't been officially released on Mulberry's website yet. Their bags always sell out quick though. I've recently bought a Mulberry Kristin Bag in Black and that has already sold out. I really want this Alexa Bag in this colour and I've got my fingers crossed that I'll be able to get one when it's released.

New Version of 21 Guns


I'm loving the new version of "21 Guns" by Green Day and the Cast of "American Idiot". It's the version that is being sung in Green Day's punk rock opera production "American Idiot". It sounds like it could feature in an episode of Glee and I wouldn't be surprised if it does though! Glee seems to cover songs of all genres. Check out the song on iTunes now!

Broken Pearl Dress!


This dress from Karen Walker's Fall 2009 collection has completely sold out! The broken pearl print is one of Walker's classic prints as it has been used in a previous collection. I need this dress because it is timeless and can work in both spring and fall but I know it will be hard to find one. I've tried Trade Me and there doesn't seem to be one, so sad....

New Year, New Changes!

Gaining weight totally sucks! I've gained 3kgs during the Christmas season. That's what I get for over indulging! Though I've gained weight I always manage to find an easy way to lose it. It's really no secret but seriously the foods you eat really does make a difference. I don't believe in diets they're evil and hard to stick to. I'm going to post a new food daily which I believe helps fight fat.

#1 LEMON
Lemons are amazing! I've replaced all high sugar drinks with just lemon and ice cold water. It's perfect for quenching my thirst especially in all this hot summer weather! Plus lemons have a substantial amount of vitamin C!

Small changes really does make a difference! Be sure to check out my next fat fighting food tomorrow.

Chinese Influence!


Hearting the Chanel Pre-Fall 2010 collection. It's not everyday that you see a collection that is influenced by China. I think Chanel doing this collection just shows the increasing popularity of the brand in China and they even decided to have half of the models on the runway to be Chinese, which was a refreshing change. I thought the collection was very chic as usual. I hearted how it looked very Chinese but still very Chanel. The jewellery I thought was the stand out with all the Empress styled earrings and necklaces. Hearted the whole collection! Chanel doesn't seem to be the only ones hearting China at the moment. Prada has commissioned Chinese Artist Yang Fudong to create a short film for their Spring Men's ad campaign.

Hello to all the people out there! I've always wanted to have my own blog and now I've finally taken the time to start it. This is a work in progress and it will look prettier when I eventually figure out how all this blogging stuff works. I've always been obsessed with music and fashion and I will be blogging about these two passions of mine. I'm loving the Chanel Pre-Fall 2010 collection, hmm that shall be my next post.
