Where is this?  Why one of the most dangerous hiking trails, Huashan plank walk high up in the Huashan Mountains just outside of Xi’an, China!  As part of the Hua Shan trail to the North Peak, a path of wooden planks that are only 1 foot wide is what separates you from falling off this mountain.  Luckily there is a chain around the cliff so you can harness yourself to it…but still…AHHH!  I think I would just take the cable car up…

Croissant + Doughnut = Cronut

Oh em gee, what do you get when you put two of the most delectable morning pastries together?  Cronut!!!

Run, don’t walk, to Dominque Ansel’s Bakery in SoHo, NYC to grab yourself this croissant/doughnut hybrid.   And this is no ordinary cronut, it is tossed in sugar, then filled with Tahitian vanilla ganache, and finally finished with a rose glaze and crystallized rose petals.  What?!  Please let a pastry chef in Chicago copy this so I can eat this for breakfast, lunch and dinner!

Billboard Awards 2013 Best and Worse Dressed

Tags

, , , , , ,

So yesterday was the annual Billboard Music Awards and it was packed with the usual mega pop stars of today.  Who wore it best?  Who should’ve just stayed in and watched on the couch like the rest of us?

Let’s start with the wtf

This is actually Ke$ha dressing down from her usual crazy outfits but I will take that over this anyday.  Obsene.

See I normally love J.Lo.  But I feel like she’s worn dresses like this over and over again.  If it was a shorter dress, she would look like a Olympic figure skater going for the gold!  Tacky.

Miley Cyrus…um.  It’s definitely a “look” but I feel that she is so young and should have fun with it. She is aging herself by a decade.

Jennifer Morrison…just no words.

BEST DRESSED

Yes finally Taylor!  She dressing how Miley should be dressing.  Young, fun and glam at the same time without being too risque.  I love this dress and it works perfectly with the event.

Selena Gomez.  Wow…I am borderline obsessed with this dress.  I love everything about this.  It’s Atelier Versace from Spring 2013 and I just can’t get over the neon  lining the white gown.  The design is interesting but it doesn’t overwhelm Selena.  It’s sexy and young at the same time.  Love!

Where is this?

This is Amman, capital of Jordan and one of the oldest inhabited city in the world.  Amman is considered one of the most “Westernized” and liberal cities in the Middle East making the city a favorite for ex-pats and college students around the world.  In the midst of all the modernity of the city, there are layers and layers of ancient history still seeped deep in the numerous mosques and architecture.

Go Bulls!

I’m a little biased being in Chicago, but gotta root for the hometeam…GO BULLS!
