The Lazy Days of Summer...

Happy June, dolls!


We're betting right about now you're all saying, "Hey!  It's Tuesday -- I'm so excited to read the new PDR post!" And we seriously hate to disappoint you... but unfortunately, we regret to inform you that there will be no official post on Tuesdays and Thursdays for the months of June, July, and August. In September, as long as our readers still want us, we promise to return to our regularly scheduled programming.


We all deserve a little break now and then, and summertime in NJ means two things: 1) Jen has some major plans including renovation, relaxation, and vacation and 2) Saira will be jealous of us all as she spends her every waking minute studying for the Bar Exam. So, with heavy hearts, we've made the decision to reduce our posts by 2 for the next 3 months. This summer, while you are tanning yourselves and sipping some lemonade, be sure to check back with us on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays for some new and exciting posts by your favorite duo (that's us!), but also some extra treats from some fantastic Guest Bloggers that we have lined up!


Stay tuned for tomorrow's Color Day post and then be sure to check back Friday for your next Paper Doll Romance fix.
Until next time!


XOXO,
Jen & Saira

Sex and The City 2


The Trailer:

Screenshots from the movie:


The London Premiere:


The New York Premiere:

While I sit at my desk attempting to study for my upcoming exams, I'm eagerly waiting to watch City and The City 2 with the girls later this week. If the trailer is anything to go by, it should be an incredibly enjoyable film. I absolutely loved the series, watching some episodes over and over again, and the first movie was fantastic. Unfortunately, I think the girls outfits at the London and NY premieres were a little disappointing when you compare them to the to-die-for outfits on screen. I preferred the London outfits, over the NY outfits, as I'm not a fan of yellow or fluro outfits. SJP's outfit at the London Premiere was so similar to an outfit she wore to the previous movie's premiere, just that this one was black, rather than green. It's a shame they couldn't have been a little more inspiring, particularly SJP, who usually appears at red carpet events in something incredibly original and out-there.

For me, the release of the second movie, is even perhaps even more exciting than the first, because it is set in Abu Dhabi (even though technically it was shot in Morocco for cultural/religious reasons). I visited Abu Dhabi on my way to Europe on a on family holiday, a little over 2 years ago, when the place still wasn't so well known. We also stopped there on our way back too. It was my first time visiting a country in the Middle East and I thoroughly enjoyed it. My mum had booked what she thought was a leisurely camel ride through the desert to a Beduin  camp, which turned out to be a wild 4WD extravaganza up and down the mounds of sand in the desert, with the leisurely camel ride at the end. We had a fabulous dinner at the camp site in the middle of the desert, complete with meats roasted over a BBQ, arabic coffee and argile. Another night, we had dinner at a seafood restaurant in a hotel called "The Palace" which was the most luxurious and elaborate hotel I had ever seen, resembling the palace in Disney's Aladdin. While there, I learnt a lot about the Islamic cultural of the people of the Emirates, which was very interesting. The shopping was also quite amazing, my favourite purchase being an Arabaic kaftan style dress in magenta silk, embellished with beading, sequins and embroidery. Watching the local people, or "Originals" as they are called, in their traditional arabic clothes, was quite fascinating, as they were dressed so elaborately in their cultural dress. It was so unusual, yet interesting, to see women dressed in burkas, wearing Louboutins, carrying Chanel handbags and diamond encrusted jewellery pieces.

The dress from Abu Dhabi:

I need to have the dress altered because it's too big. I'm undecided whether to simply take it in, or crop it into a mini as well. We've been talking about having a Moroccan party for quite some time, so I'm thinking I will take in for that and keep it long, and then afterwards I will crop it so I can wear it out clubbing. I love the fact that it has such sentimental value to me. I have a pair of magenta Peeptoes that would look great with it (you can see them in the far right corner of the first pic of the dress), or alternatively it could look fantastic with a pair of glitzy jewelled sandals. Either way, I'm dying to wear it, it's just a matter of deciding how to alter the dress.

tribal wing tattoos - tips for new tattoo

You have decided that you want a tribal wing tattoos but you aren't necessarily sure how to start your research. This type of tattoo has become quite popular with tribal tattoo lovers. But before you head down to your local tattoo parlour and drop your hard earned money, you may want to do some research first. The truth is this research can mean the difference between a great tattoo that you're happy with or a disappointing tattoo. Would you like to know more?

http://www.tattoosbydesign.com/rate_my_tattoo/tattoos/tattoo/act/tribal_wings_295340158414.jpg

My biggest concern is that I don't want you to do what everyone else does and that is start your research for artwork by using Google images. Google images isn't a bad place for ideas, but because everyone uses this method you run the risk of duplicating someone else's tattoo. And I am sure that isn't what you want.

The best piece of advice I can give you is to invest in a paid tattoo site. A paid tattoo site gives use so many resources before you get your tattoo. You will gain access to artists that specialize in tribal tattoo artwork. You can work with one of these artists to come up with something unique for your new ink. You also gain access to a huge community of tattoo enthusiasts that will be able to answer any questions or concerns you may have. These paid tattoo sites also have reviews of local tattoo parlors so you can find the right parlor for your new tribal tattoo.

Tribal Ink From Around the World

Tribal tattoos have been been practiced in one form or another for millenia. While the practice may be somewhat different nowadays there are still many who get tribal tattoos for reasons which could be described as neo-tribal in their quest to belong to a 'tribe' (either neo-tribal or traditional) even if it is on a subconscious level. Most simply get tribal tattoos because of their striking appearance.

Historically getting tattooed was seen as a rite of passage into adulthood. A belief goes that if a girl can't take the pain of tattooing, she is un-marriageable, because she will never be able to deal with the pain of child birth. If a boy can't deal with the pain he is considered to be a bad risk as a warrior, and could become isolated from the tribe.

Tattoo Designs From the Celtic World

Celtic tattoos have experienced a massive revival in recent years. The history of the Celtic people goes back thousands of years. The early Celts displayed their skills in complex artwork particularly metal, jewelry and weapons as they were regarded as fierce warriors by the Romans. Evidence of Celtic crosses and Celtic artwork can still be found all over Ireland.

Modern Celtic peoples have evolved symbols for themselves, and North Americans of Celtic descent often wear these symbols to show their Celtic origin. The ancient Celts passed knowledge down through an oral tradition of storytelling and didn't keep many written records, consequently, there is little evidence of their tattooing remaining even though Celtic cross tattoos and Celtic know tattoos are very popular designs.

Summer Style: The White Collection

Attention ladies: It's Memorial Day so you can officially wear white without fear of being chastised! Come celebrate by browsing through our pick for the summer of 2010, the White Collection:





Nothing is more depressing than being stuck at work on a beautiful summer day, but you can brighten your day by wearing this white pencil skirt from J. Crew. The clean cut and crisp white color will make you look fun and fresh, and even though it's no day at the beach, at least you'll look good at the office.




If you want to be able to easily transition from work to play, then this crochet neck dress from Arden B. is perfect for you. Wear it with a blazer and pumps to work, and then add some accessories and peep toes for cocktail hour!  




Keep up the crochet look with this off-white peasant skirt available at Anthropologie. The cloud fish pattern is subtle and adds great texture to the skirt, plus it has a draw string waist so you can indulge in some extra corn dogs. 




Stay fresh at the beach with this super  cute cover up by Victoria's Secret. While it comes in a variety of colors, we love this ivory shade, as it will really set off your summer tan, and will look great with a bright bathing suit peeking out from underneath!




A hot summer night deserves a hot summer dress! Show off you tan and legs in this white, strapless sheath dress by White House | Black Market.  With a cinched waist and a built-in bustier, you're guaranteed to look your best -- just don't spill anything!




But if you're looking for something a bit more bohemian, then we recommend this soft, flowy dress from Free People. We love the embellished neckline, and something about the layered pleats reminds us of the scene in The Little Mermaid when Ariel fashions a dress out of an old sail -- very simple and sexy.


Stay cool, dolls!


XOXO,


Jen & Saira

Random Obsessions of the Moment...

Aje Fatale Dress
I'm absolutely obsessed with this dress! It's the 21st century equivalent to Audrey Hepburn's outfit in the opening scene in Breakfast at Tiffany's

Tony Bianco Suede Ankle Wedge Booties
I've been eying these beauties for a weeks now. I hope to make them my Winter party shoe of choice.

Peeptoe Clutch
Unfortunately my favourite evening bag broke a few weeks ago - It was the most adorable black silk clutch complete with enormous crystal handles and red lining. May it RIP. I'm thinking this time I will go for something a little bigger and hardwearing. Right now I'm thinking this black leather clutch with pewter studs.
Peeptoe Shoes


Bambi
Bambi is my fav model of the moment. She seems to be popping up everywhere, including the Aje Lookbook. She has such an unusual and interesting look about her. Love those grey/green wide eyes and thicker brows. She pulls off that effortless glam, yet grungy look so well.

My favourite quote of the moment - I think it's so true!
A world full of abnormal people... what is normal and does it even exist?

Kanji Tattoos designs for girls | unlimited tattoo

When choosing kanji symbols is that they are only one of three writing systems used in Japan --which is where kanji is used (not China). Kanji is the oldest and most complicated of the three writing systems( kanji, hiragana and katakana). The other systems are hiragana and katakana, with katakana being the most familiar to westerners. Why the most familiar? Because katakana is used specifically to write foreign words (and science words and a few other things) and foreign names.Characters can be written both vertically and horizontally. Here are some Kanji Tattoo Symbols pictures.
