World Cup Anthem: Shakira’s “Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)”

Watch her perform live at the World Cup’s closing ceremonies July 12, 2010.

Diamond Girl

They say diamonds are a girl’s best friend! So it makes sense that the new Smooth ‘N Shine Diamond Luster Poof Eraser, $4.99 available at Drugstores nationwide, is not only inspired by diamonds, its formulated with quartz crystal to give hair prismatic shine while offering heat protection up to 425 degrees.

Now how do we use it on our hair? We asked Larry Sims, Celebrity Hairstylist for Smooth 'N Shine. Sims has worked on the tresses of many Latinas including: Dayanara Torres, Christina Milian, Eva Longoria, and Jennifer Lopez.

Sims offered us the following taming tips: "As we move into the summer heat, it's essential to be on top of your hair game. To give that everlasting beautiful first impression, I suggest using Smooth 'N Shine Diamond Luster Poof Eraser. This product is amazing because it works on both wet and dry hair. It's 425 degree heat protector agent protects your hair from daily thermal styling procedures. It also provides nourishment and is infused with wheat protein and vitamin E agents. Lastly, your hair will look its best with benefits of anti-frizz and quartz crystals that are infused in this product as well. The end results are beautiful, healthy, shiny, hair."

Get Lo’s Look

We hear its been a little chilly in LA, so our Angelino friends are more covered up than usual.

Exhibit A: Lo Bosworth wore JOE's while shooting the last episode of The Hills over the weekend. The reality star looked chic as she filmed in her Siouxsie-colored Jegging, $128; http://www.joesjeans.com.

Its A Cool Summer

Sometimes the weather is just cruel… Here in NYC its just too hot, temp went up to 103 degrees.

On days like this the best way to look cool is to feel cool! We love that Fergie rocked Love Tanjane to The Black Eyed Peas "The E.N.D. World Tour" after party in Barcelona. The singer posed with the rest of the Peas in her Scoop Tank, $68; http://www.lovetanjane.com/.

Take it outside!

 

Sometimes outdoor activities are hard to come by in NYC…

We’re gonna check out the free outdoor, dance classes at Herald Square

Zumba is a fun, easy-to-follow aerobic routine that combines Latin dance moves with cardio. It’s a wildly popular way to maximize caloric output while toning your whole body. Zumba takes the work out of working out.

Clickety-Clack… the call of the clogs!!!

Popularized in the 70’s clog’s are hot trend for spring and summer 2010. Both Louis Vuitton and Chanel had models clanking down the runway in them this past fashion week. With March Jacobs donning a pair himself while taking his bow the end of the Vuitton show.

The updated version seems to be of the sky high heeled variety and can be quite pricey. I found a great pair from Alice & Olivia for Payless for $39.99 at www.payless.com. While they are sky-high at a fierce 4.5" there is a redeeming 1" platform for a hint of stabilization. For the price its a chic shoe. The rustic frayed canvas in a sling back style coupled with the edgy silvertone studs make enough of a statement to be worn a multitude of ways. Though, I would not recommend these for errands to the post office, supermarket or anything that requires too much walking… just in case.
