The Gossip Corner with Stine

Happy almost TGIF everyone!!! Hope you all have some fun plans for the weekend! I will be getting ready for my last 2 summer courses before grad school so no super fun nights out for me lol. I do have some exciting news regarding future plans... I'm going to India for spring break!! It's part of my graduate program's annual international business trip, I can't wait to share more about this experience with you guys as the time gets closer!!


Well enough about me and let's talk about what is going on in this ever-changing world of ours shall we! 


-Leave it to Diane Sawyer and her team to uncover another scandal that the public needed to be aware of. Yes I'm talking about the USA Olympic Team uniforms being MADE IN CHINA. Being in the fashion industry, this did not come as a surprise to me, however I was disappointed that Ralph Lauren didn't try to have at least the scarves made in the US of A. Well have no fear because for the 2014 Winter Games and beyond RL has made a commitment to manufacture Team USA's apparel right at home. As for the design of the uniforms for the London games, they look a little too European and not enough American, maybe it's the beret? What do you think?

-Tragedy struck a Colorado movie theater early this morning when a deranged 24 year-old man shot into the crowds of people who were there to see the new Batman movie The Dark Knight Rises. A man named, James Holmes, has been identified as the shooter who killed 12 and wounded 59 innocent people. Yahoo! News and GMA are reporting that he was a PhD student from a nearby college and was armed with bullet proof gear, smoke bombs, and multiple guns. Police and ATF agents quickly apprehended Holmes, but the damage was done. Warner Bros. has temporarily cancelled the premiere, interviews, and red carpet in Paris where the cast of the film are now. President Obama also made a statement expressing his condolences about this horrible tragedy.

-Tom Cruise has already landed in NYC and got in some quality daddy-daughter time with Suri and it seems they had quite the adventure! Helicopter rides, a trip to the Hampton's, and gymnastics class were on the agenda. It looks like Mr. Cruise will be spending more time in NYC now that his ex Katie has enrolled Suri in an all-girls Catholic school. On a random side note, if you've ever wondered why Tom and Katie are always holding Suri during their outings, it's not because she's a spoiled little princess (although she has been known to throw a fit or two) it has to do with those dang paparazzi! Apparently Suri has been almost trampled and scared too death a number of times that it's safer for her parents to carry her, this I completely understand.

-I was reading this month's People Style Watch Magazine and found some cute trends that my favorite celebs have sporting. Obviously I can't try them all out but I did want to see if I could add some pop to my everyday look. Fun nail colors have been really popular this summer so I decided to try them out! On a recent trip to Ulta I picked up two new shades from OPI 
called: "Gargantuan Green Grape" and "Moon Over Mumbai" (I thought that was kinda fitting lol) I decided to alternate the colors, what do you think?

The finished product! 
I definitely want to try out some more hot new trends that I saw in People so I will keep you posted on if I'm going to add them to my wardrobe :)

Well I don't want to make this post too long so have a great weekend everyone!!!
