Live Fast Die Young

It’s not everyday that Hollywood decides to produce a comedy film about two women without involving romance and shopping so when opportunity presented itself, how could Sandra Bullock & Melissa McCarthy refuse the offer?

The Heat is a comedy film directed by Bridesmaids director, Paul Feig and is about an uptight FBI special agent, Sarah Ashburn (Bullock) who was sent to Boston to take down a Russian mobster but in order to do that, she would need the help of a very testy Boston detective, Shannon Mullins (McCarthy) and together, they will test each other’s patience but the two misfits must come to terms and accept that they need each other (and just the right amount of whisky) to take down Boston’s druglord.

I am so glad that Bullock and McCarthy were casted to play the two characters for they have the comedic chemistry and chops to pull-off the humor of the film which is both sarcastic and straightforward. Certainly, the film and the script requires boldness which the two provided – in short, the casting was spot-on! They both performed believably that even the most outrageous things were believable and I found myself laughing hard, too hard I think! And I’m glad I was accompanied by my very good friend, Bea Regala because it really is a girlfriend type of movie. As for the script and story wise, it was fresh and although it had its moments of predictability, the twists certainly made up for it! Kudos to Paul Feig for coming up with another comedic masterpiece!

If you are planning to watch it, then don’t hesitate and go see it on a cinema near you!

Fashion Spotlight: Frida Gustavsson

“You’ve seen her face but probably not all of you know her name…”

Our fashion spotlight for the month of June is Swedish model, Frida Gustavsson – she’s the 20yr old, 5’11 stunner who has been the face of Marc Jacobs, Prada, Anna Sui among many others and has walked countless shows during Paris, Milan, New York and London fashion weeks.

More than her high-fashion credentials, this girl also got some serious off-duty style! She’s actually one of my favorite models next to Coco Rocha & Adriana Lima because she makes the most complicated ensembles look so effortlessly chic. One example of a hard style to pull-off is the “masculine chic” look which Frida rocks so beautifully, accentuating those mile long legs perfectly.

Another signature Frida style is her daisy dukes and black stockings combo, which she wears whether she’s just grabbing coffee, going to fashion show, go sees etc. then again, highlighting her famous pair of gams.

If you have a body like Frida or you just want to achieve her style, here is how you can:
1. Invest on blazers! Frida loves throwing on that fashion staple to dress-up an outfit. Plus! It gives you that masculine chic that we’re aiming for.
2. As you’ve probably noticed, her outfits are monotonous in color but she always makes a point to splash a pop of color, green is a favorite!
3. Who needs a pair of heels when you’ve got her height? All you need are some good old fashionable oxford shoes!
4. Maxi skirts, tuxedo pants, stockings! It’s all about the legs taking center stage without exposing or showing some skin to do so.
5. For Frida, less is more when it comes to accessories – a designer handbag will do!
