HOLLYWOOD SPY'S EXCLUSIVE FASHION REPORT FROM THE BRITISH ROYAL WEDDING 2011! CHARMING TRAILER FOR "ONE DAY" WITH ANNE HATHAWAY & JIM STURGESS!

So, have you watched THE ROYAL WEDDING? How did you like it? Who was best dressed? What did you like/hate most? I think Kate Middleton looked lovely, but although I appreciated the

subtle elegance of her wedding gown, it didn't wow me and I wasn't amazed by the decision to do a Grace Kelly's wedding dress rip-off. She will be a future queen and queens should dictate not follow :) But she did look nice, tender, delicate and lovely, just not memorable as the royal wedding of the century deserves. Oooh, and I thought Victoria and David Beckham looked absolutely stunning. Princess Lalla Salma, the wife of Moroccan king was stunning as always proving her status of HOLLYWOOD SPY's favourite royal person. Serbia's crown prince Aleksandar was also present. Click on the images to see HOLLYWOOD SPY's visual fashion report from THE ROYAL WEDDING :) And please do

comment if you are inspired :) The next huge royal wedding we will be watching will be the wedding of Monaco's prince Albert later this summer. Will his future wife Charlene Wittstock be prettier than his late mother Grace Kelly? Albert was probably the best dressed man today at the London wedding.

Since we're sticking with love, today you can check out the first trailer for ONE DAY, a romantic film with interesting plot premiering  this August with Anne Hathaway and Jim Sturgess in the lead roles.

The story, based on the bestselling novel, follows an extraordinary relationship. Emma and Dexter meet on the night of their college graduation in summer 1988. She is a working class girl of principle and ambition who dreams of making the world a better place. He is a wealthy charmer who dreams that the world will be his playground. For the next two decades, they meet every summer for one day, as their friendship ebbs and flows with the passing of the years. Through love and loss, heartbreak and success, hopes fulfilled and dreams shattered, they experience the grandeur of life. Somewhere along their journey, these two people realize that what they are searching and hoping for has been there for them all along. The film features beautiful music from One Republic and lots of horrible hairdos from Hathaway :).

VANI CHIC & VANI CHOC by Hilde Soliani

VANI CHIC & VANI CHOC

By Felicia Hazzard

A Double Dose of Vanilla
Vanilla has the capacity to make foods and fragrances smell and taste so delicious. It happens to be my favorite all time flavor.
I always seem to purchase a fragrance with vanilla in it without knowing it. It just seems to reach out and grab me by saying,” Hi my name is Vanilla, now go ahead and buy me.”




Hilde Soliani, niche perfumer from Italy who happens to be one of my favorite perfumers for gourmand fragrances has once again lavishly saturated two new perfumes for women and men with vanilla.

VANI CHIC & VANI CHOC is two remarkably balanced fragrances that will tempt the palate of every vanilla fragrant fan!

VANI CHIC launched in 2010 features only the finest compositions of vanilla and brightly flavored citrus fruits.
This delightful gourmand contains…
TOP NOTES: bergamot, Amalfi lemon
MIDDLE NOTES: Madagascar vanilla
BASE NOTES: sandalwood
It gets sweeter by the moment with the creation of VANI CHOC. I actually thought this fragrance was a mixture of vanilla and chocolate due to the name of it, but there is not an ounce of chocolate in VANI CHOC but loads of two kinds of vanillas and sugar.

VANI CHOC is creamier and thicker than VANI CHIC. This gourmand is for serious connoisseurs that need a quick fix of ‘super sweet’. It contains Madagascar vanilla, Bourbon vanilla and sugar.

According to experts, to have a successful fragrance line, is not only about the scent but the look of the packaging.
Hilde Soliani chose for this particular collection the use of lively and bright boxes. The bright orange and shiny yellow boxes are representations of cheery, playful and a youthful outlook for VANI CHIC & VANI CHOC perfumes.

Weekend Dessert - Sauteed and Carmerlized Peaches

Sauteed and Carmerlized Peaches

By Anne Dessens

Really ripe juicy peaches tossed with a bit of lemon juice and sugar then sauteed with creamy butter is just heaven. It's tastes sinfully wicked for the waistline but in reality, it's just a little extra sugar and butter with some fruit. It's an option when you want a sweet ending to your healthy meal such as a nice main course dinner salad. Healthy, tasty and well-balanced doesn't have to be complicated. Serve as is in this recipe either warm, room temperature or chilled.

Let the sugar and butter caramelize in the pan and pour over dessert of your choice is another option for those feeling a little naughtier with their diets. Some choose to serve it with luscious caramel ice cream, or like my daughter who opts for individual chilled flans where you can add this recipe to a custard or vanilla pudding recipe, chill and serve. I prefer to serve this recipe with ice cream and lemon cake (both, together, layered).

This dessert is perfect for those week nights where you don't have much more energy than stir a few ingredients around in a skillet and when you have almost overripe peaches needing immediate attention. Peeling is optional. Sugar dosage depends on the sweetness of your peaches and your preference. Healthy desserts can be quick and easy. And they can taste fantastic.

I have not tried it with brown sugar but I think it will add a bit of added flavor to your caramel since brown sugar tends to work better when you are cooking it into a caramel. The contrast between the hot peaches and the cold ice cream or chilled flan is extremely comforting and highly recommended by this cook, especially if you are a little homesick for those sweet summer peaches and are looking for a little taste of home.

Sauteed Peaches au dessert

Using really ripe and not-so-pretty peaches. Peeling takes a few extra moments to prepare this dish but the result is a smoother, softer dessert.

• 4-6 ripe peaches, yellow or white



• 1 teaspoon lemon juice freshly squeezed



• 3 tablespoons sugar



• 2 tablespoons butter

Peel and slice peaches; toss with lemon juice; set aside until ready to serve dessert (cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate if not using right away). Melt butter on medium-high heat (without burning butter), add sugar and stir until creamy. Add peaches and saute for 5-8 minutes or until peaches are hot and sugar/butter mix starts to caramelize. Stir frequently to avoid burning and sticking.

Color in the Home Offers a Bright New Look

Color in the Home Offers a Bright New Look

By K. Pearson Brown

Add Excitement to a Room with Furniture and Accents with Color

Beige is out, bold is in. Color in unexpected places can rev up a room, giving it a fresh and exciting look. By infusing a room with vivid, bright or rich hues, even with a single item of furniture or décor, a staid living space can become a highlight of the home.

Many people believe that color is only for modern interiors, but that's not the case. Color is a great way to add some freshness to a more traditional look. A couple of strategically placed pieces and accents in a room can create a very stirring environment.

Here's a few colorful decorating ideas to create a new look in a room.

Wake Up on the Sunny Side

Make the bedroom a showroom with a contemporary bed that is gorgeous even without sheets. Look for innovative styles in contemporary colors such as purple, yellow, lime, chartreuse, orange and hot pink. A new trend in hi-tech beds is a light-up base that brings on the cool in a room. For youth bedrooms, beds that feature bold color and design - and even a headboard with built-in speakers and an iPod hook up, can make a bedroom rock.

For the living room, den or guest room, consider a colorful European-style sofa bed. These modern pull-outs are not only great solutions for small spaces where you need an extra bed that doesn't look like a bed, they liven up a room in sleek styles and colors. One store in the United States that carries these types of beds and sofa beds is Sapapa by Amianch.

Radiate Personality

Electronics are boring in basic black, but with the 24-inch Sceptre Galaxy Series LED HDTV ($399), design and color come together to make a statement of modernity and style. The housing for this ultra-slim flat panel pops in shiny red, pink, blue, pearl, white, black and chrome. Not only does this widescreen look sleek and sharp on the outside, it boasts a stunning picture with 1920 x 1080 resolution and rapid 5 ms response time and features dual HDMI ports and a USB port for use with an array of peripherals. Now available to consumers nationwide at Walmart, Target, Sears, Kmart, NewEgg, Amazon and QVC.

Color Says it All

Using a strong color in a piece of furniture is a tremendous opportunity to express your individuality and add excitement to a room. For the best design results, find a few accessories to compliment the color so the 'look' is successful throughout the room.

Also, consider the emotions colors will arouse and what mood you want to elicit in a room.

Orange is a very stimulating and exciting color to use. Purple, a very regal color, can also be very fun and playful. Consult a designer to help you achieve the look and feeling you want a room to have.
