what are they… drinking?!

I’ll admit to loving the tastes of things most people scrunch their noses up at… unflavored tofu, unsalted nuts, and any green veggie – preferably freshly juiced. I also have a sweet tooth, and I love salt… but with several food sensitives, I do my best to curb those indulgences for the sake of my stomach. While living in LA, I swore by Evolution’s “Essential Greens” that I bought at Whole Foods (I saw Seal at the Brentwood WF, I wonder if Heidi’s on the green-wagon?), or the fresh juices from M Cafe (Jessica Alba is a fan, and just look at her radiant skin). Sadly, upon moving back to Canada I found myself on a fresh green juice quest… Fresh offers a good selection of juices (my go-to is the “all-green”), and Noah’s on Bloor has a cafe with a fully equipped juice bar. These are great options for dining in, or pick-up, but I like to have my juices at home, at the office, and when I travel (the recommended shelf life is three days). Toronto’s Whole Foods and organic grocery stores only carry vegetable juices with some form of fruit (apple, and/or banana etc)… so I was thankful to come across Total Cleanse – a local juice delivery service (and/or cleanse) that drops off your juices between 9pm and 6am the night before /day you want them. Today through Wednesday, I’ll be drinking Green Energy with my breakfast(s) and dinner(s). And while I’m not doing a full cleanse, I’m not going to argue with glowing skin and increased energy. Yes, PLEASE!!

the next celebrity fashion blogger is…

It was a VERY close race, but the final standings (tallied by a former PricewaterhouseCoopers auditor; Oscars-style) are Jiye Lee 1st; Lauren Scapillati 2nd, Jackie Chan 3rd, Valerie Tih 4th.

A big THANK YOU to each finalist, I’m sure we all agree they are all FANTASTIC-talented celebrity fashion bloggers!! I hope everyone keeps writing, there’s some real talent and great style there.

Fine, Fresh, Fierce!

Rachel Bilson is once again schooling everyone on being effortlessly chic. She blends high end and high street so seamlessly that it all looks expensive.

Rachel rolls up her Paige jeans just enough to show off her Zara wedge ankle boots with laces and she casually throws over her shoulder an amazing YSL leather hobo. The piece de resistance here is that amazing polka dot scarf by Ann Taylor. Who isn’t loving polka dots these days? The wedges and scarf provide the color and details necessary for this look so she keeps the rest simple and neutral. Rachel expertly offsets her ladylike scarf with ripped boyfriend jeans. And of course, she tops it all off with her signature Ray Ban wayfarers.

Another “What? This? I just threw it on but I look better than all of you!” Rachel Bilson moment!
