The Fashion World - The Devil wears Prada

Advantages: Good storyline, great acting
Disadvantages: Doesn't stick to the book

...I had actually read the book of The Devil Wears Prada by Lauren Weisberger before seeing this film for the first time and therefore think I may have a slightly different opinion to someone who has not read the book. The plot of the film is that a young girl called Andrea who has just graduated from college is out to find her first job. She really wants to become a journalist but knows she must find any way into the industry she can. She ends up going for a job at a top fashion magazine Runway. This job isn't for a serious journalist role though; it is to be the new assistant to Miranda Priesly. Miranda is a notorious woman in the fashion industry who will not take no for an answer. When Andy attends the interview Miranda looks her up and down and is certainly disapproving of her attire. Andy ends up bursting out in anger during...

The Devil Wears Prada

Advantages: Acting, Fashion
Disadvantages: Not Many

...The devil wears Prada is a 2006 comedy drama film directed by David Frankel and starring Anne Hathaway and Meryl Streep. It revolves around the vicious and back stabbing world of fashion, and the people in it. Andy Sachs (Hathaway) has just graduated from Northwest university and moves to New York, hoping to be a journalist at the New Yorker. However, the reality?s a little different. While looking for jobs, she finds out that if she becomes the junior assistant to the infamous Miranda Priestly, she?ll have her pick of great jobs after just a year. Although it seems like an amazing deal, it soon turns out to be anything but. The job that a million girls would dream for turns out to be more like Andy?s idea of hell, working for the demanding Miranda Priestly exhausts her and her life outside of work begins to disappear. Also, she doesn...

My Devil wears Primark

Advantages: Witty commentary on today's society
Disadvantages: The portrait is truer than it should be

..., will this temporary job that was only meant to be a gateway to the serious journalistic job Andy once craved suck her in? Will she sacrifice her ethics to become accepted into a world she used to despise? In gaining her bosses respect and confidence will the "New Andy" lose that of her family, friends and boyfriend Nate? Will Andy learn there is a different side to the apparently shallow and cruel world of fashion? Oh the questions! Who is David Frankel? ************************** David is a native New Yorker and perhaps that lies behind his success with this film. This coupled with the fact that he is the son of former executive editor of the New York Times, made him well-placed to understand the world that we are introduced to in The Devil Wears Prada. Until now, most of this Harvard Graduate's work has been in TV comedy...

Super Restorative Night Wear .

Advantages: Works well for me.
Disadvantages: Price.

...Not long ago on my last birthday I was given some Clarins beauty products one of them being a small jar of 'Super restorative night wear', My birthday was at the end of December so I've been using the 'Super restorative night wear' for well over a month now and I am really pleased with the results. I've since found that this 50ml jar can cost from £50-£70, and personally when I buy face creams I'd refuse to pay anywhere near this price, I think the most I've paid is around £40. But then again, now I have tried it and I am pleased with the results I would buy it at the lower price of £50 as it is one of the better night creams I've used so far. The night wear comes in an oval shaped glass jar and looks and feels expensive, The glass is a vibrant cherry red colour and the lid is white with a gold trim with the Clarins logo...

Review of Clarins Super Restorative Night Wear

Wear it maxx for 1 day!

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Chips after one day

... Introduction I only occasionally wear nail varnish when I use light, neutral colours. However I recently took up belly dancing and I wanted my toes and hand nails look nice while dancing. I was specifically looking for a colour that matched my costume. Of all shades available 'Velvet Rose' from Rimmel came closest to what I wanted. The packaging The bottle that you can see on the third product photo is small, round and has a handle of about the same size with a normal, thin brush. The black handle (annoyingly and misleadingly) says 'Up to 10 days'. The number 10 is exaggerated while the 'days' are in smallprint. (Now I see why.) Application This brush is quite small and is the standard thin shape, not the new fan-shaped one that appeared recently from Bourjois. The varnish can settle which means...

Plas Equestrian starter harness great first harness, machine wash

Advantages: adjustability of the roko buckles and the machine wash
Disadvantages: Blinkers are a bit square and stiff

...I have this harness for my Shetland pony and find it excellent it really molds to her body shape and i think she finds it comfortable and a good fit, she goes very well in it. The roko fully adjustable buckles mean you can get the fit just right. The only down side i would say is the bridle as the blinkers are a bit stiff and you cannot mould them to fit around the eye. I use a traditional bridle with this harness but the plas equestrian bridle would be ok to start off with with pre driving training. The machine wash is what drew me to this, you can literally just chuck it in the wash and bung it on the line to dry, brilliant time saver - it washes well. All round good reasonably priced harness for training and pleasure driving....

Soap and Glory Slim Wear

Advantages: Great smooth skin,firm thighs,great texture and minty smell
Disadvantages: the price in a way

...upwards,so I decided that this was the perfect opportunity to give the company a try. I initially picked up two Body Butters for 10.00p,because I'd heard that they were extremely nourishing and gave your skin a good drink. I admitedly only picked up 'Slim Wear' because I wanted my free item to be equal in price and seeing as I'm a bit of a worrier about my thighs,it seemed the right option. 'Slim Wear' retails at 9.50p for a 200ml plastic bottle,but it was free to me due to the offer. The packaging: If anyone is aware of the company 'Benefit',then their products look very similar,but at a fraction of the price. Benefit can only be bought in department stores such as 'Hammonds' and 'Selfridges',and all their packaging contains pictures of 'vintage' photos or drawings,that are took straight from the 50's. Well Soap and Glory are...

Meryl Streep Wears Prada

Advantages: Probably one of the 'must-see' films of the autumn
Disadvantages: A bit predictable

...suggesting that this is a good film for a public experience - and I say that without any commission from the film corporations.! 1 Occasion """"""""""""""" On Thursday night, I took Mrs B to see "The Devil Wears Prada". And before you all scream,'That's impossible, its only on release tonight', let me gently put you in your place. I received two tickets - free what's more - to a preview of the film in the Dublin Road cinema in Belfast. So here you have a review that is hotter than the film itself.! 2 Storyline """""""""""""" Meryl Streep plays Miranda who is in charge of a major section of the New York fashion industry - the Runway Fashion Magazine. She is cast as a devil of a boss, who bullies her staff with unreasonable demands, and is looking for yet another replacement in her little twosome of personal assistants. She plumps...

IF THE BOOT FITS, WEAR IT.

Advantages: Great moral story to tell about the way people put career first.
Disadvantages: Weakness in some characters, though not the leading ones.

...some of musics huge talents in the soundtrack, I thought that the choice of music could have been better. Ranging from Madonna, Alanis Morisette, Mobi and Ray La Montagne, and culminating in the Suite from The Devil Wears Prada by Theodore Shapiro, the soundtrack album itself is a disappointing combination compared to other soundtracks available on the market. Available from Amazon on DVD at 12.99 GBP from 7th February, this is a good price for a film that is worthy of watching over again, though rental is also available. I found the film to be more than I expected, thought it to would be a chic flick but was pleased to see that the subject ran deeper than perhaps chic flicks would, making it suitable for a wider range of viewers. Even my husband enjoyed it. Run Time 110 Minutes 20th Century Fox Productions. Age classification PG 13...

Rimmel Lycra Wear Nail Polishes Up Nicely!

Advantages: "Maxi Brush" makes for quick, even coverage, no chipping, and the shades are great!
Disadvantages: A little pricey for such a small bottle, wait till it's on offer!

...Pretty Polished Nails - one of life's little luxuries! But in the middleof the dreaded credit crunch, a professional manicure is one expense I just can't justify, sooo, I do it myself! Head over to your local makeup counter though, and you'll find a blistering array of nail polish brands, each with their own rainbow of colours and their own claims to be fast drying, shock proof, chip resistant, all singing, all dancing, hot new shades, all buying for your attention. So which to choose?! A great Nail Polish can look fantastically chic, but a poor quality or badly applied version, can end up just looking tragically trashy. Well, I opted for Rimel Lycra Wear in "Hot Gossip", because a. I loved the colour, b. Rimmel is generally a reliable brand, and c. it was on 3 for 2 in Boots and I needed some other bits too! (Credit Crunch...
