Featuring Ellen DeGeneres

Source: noorfashionhouse.blogspot.com
 I am a big fan of Ellen DeGeneres. If I could only choose one talk show to watch for the rest of my life, it'd be hers. Well, that's assuming her show will continue for as long as I live of course. I decided to feature her today because I received an interesting email.

No, Ellen did not send me an email to say that she's sending me VIP tickets to her show. Although, that would be very nice of her. Okay, so what is the email about? Pinterest sent me a notification to say that Ellen "liked" one of my pins! I know it's not a big deal and it might be an imposter (which I really hope it isn't the case) but I'm such a huge fan of hers that I suddenly felt closer to her upon reading the email.

So here's a print screen shot of the email. I had to blot my name out for privacy purposes (because there are lots of bad people lurking on the internet these days). I was a bit stunned and surprised when I read it. Normally, I'd get people whose name I don't know or recognise, liking or reposting my pins.


So there you have it. On the lower left hand corner you can see that Ellen likes my floral Forever New shoes! I knew those shoes were a good investment! I even clicked on her avatar/icon which led me to her Pinterest page. It looked pretty convincing to me. Anyway, the point is I'm just happy with the prospect that Ellen liked one of my pins!! I hope to one day watch her show live in LA.

If you've never watched Ellen (her show) before and you like something with lots of humour, I highly recommend you start watching it. If you need convincing or some proof that it's a great show, look no further, below is a hilarious video of an interview with Kristen Bell.



Enjoy!

Do you share my love for Ellen? What talk shows do you watch?

B.I.A.: Back In Action

It's a bit hard to believe that it's been a month since I last posted on my blog! Boy, did time fly? I said I would resume posting once GAMSAT is over but I'm afraid it won't be as frequent as I did during the summer holidays, no thanks to my heavy uni work load. If you do want to hear about my experience with GAMSAT and some tips on how to prepare and sit for it, please drop a request in the comments section.

Over the past few weeks, I've been toying with the idea of getting a fringe/bangs. It all started with Zooey Deschanel's new series, New Girl, which is one of my current favourite TV shows. Her character, Jessica Day, is so cute and quirky and I love her weird sense of style. It's not hilarious but it's thoroughly entertaining (and addictive if I may add) to watch. I also love how she wears big waves and curls in her hair. However, in the latest episodes, Zooey straightened her hair, which I don't like as much. So if you want a bit of a laugh or some form of amusement, watch it.

Now, back to the topic on fringes, I've become obssessed with full blunt fringe type of looks. I had a fringe two years ago but I grew it out within a couple of months. I just couldn't handle feeling something on my forehead constantly. And even though it was at least an inch away from my eyes, I kept feeling like it was irritating and brushing against them. Perhaps, I've become so vain that I might just put up with them this time? I'm holding back at the moment because my hair is thinning and I can't imagine how much thinner it'd look with a lot of the long strands snipped to make a fringe, especially since I'm after a heavy fringe. Here are some photos of bangs that I really like.

*Sighs* Doesn't Zooey just have the nicest hair?
