Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all of my lovely readers out there! Thanks for supporting me during this year and I hope you'll continue to do so in 2011! I'm sorry I won't be able to post as much from now on, due to my exams in January. But (!) I promise to devote all of my free time to the blog to keep you updated on what's happening in the fashion and beautybizz!

Also, some of you may already know that I'm working on a complete new website for StyleLab which will launch soon, so I will be able to provide you of a better service. And for this, I need your help! Please let me know what you like to read on the blog, what sections you like or what could be better.. Thanks!

Anyway, I hope you all have amazing holidays, I hope you get the presents you wanted, gather with the people you love, dress up, have a glass of alcohol, party, have fun, be thankful, spread some love, reflect on the year you had and look forward to the next!

When in London..

Want to experience London in a different way? During my trip to the capital of Britain I discovered another side of London that is perfect for sweet tooths like me. Here's two stops for when you're tired of shopping and need to recharge your batteries.

Designers for less with 'My Brand'

You might have seen some pictures of celebrities in magazines wearing t-shirts with 'fake' designer logo's of Chanel, Marc Jacobs or Yves Saint Laurent on them. These are created by the Dutch label 'My Brand'. The idea behind 'MyBrand' however is not a cheap imitation of the brands they refer to with their clothing, but more of a fun way to honor them. The collection of t-shirts, tanktops, sweaters and training suits is now available in 50 shops in Belgium too. Prices vary from 59€ to €124.

If You Have to Cry, Go Outside

I bought this book just a few months back, and I can't believe I haven't done a post about it! 'If You Have to Cry, Go Outside, and Other Things Your Mother Never Told You' lets you in on the life of Kelly Cutrone and is, at the same time, a guidebook on how to survive in one of the most competitive industries in the world, the fashion business.

For those of you who have watched 'The Hills', 'The City' and/or 'Kell On Earth', Kelly Cutrone needs no introduction. As the owner of People's Revolution, a PR company specialised in fashion, she guided 'The Hills' stars Lauren Conrad and Whitney Port while they were taking their first steps in the fashion industry.
