For those who are not familiar with Emily Van Camp, here's some information about her. Emily Peyton Van Camp is a 23year old stunner born in Port Perry, Ontario, Canada. Her date of birth was May 12, 1986. Her talents are dancing and acting whom she was known today as part of the most shining star in film industry and entertainment. As a fact on her childhood, Emily egan dancing at age 3 andstudied jazz, tap, hip hop, and ballet. And at the age of 12 she move in Montreal to attend the renowned ballet school L'Ecole Superieure de Danse de Quebec.

A pretty Canadian player who started out as a dancer, Van Camp was attending the renowned ballet school L'Ecole Superieure de Danse de Quebec when she was bitten by the acting bug. After a few small film and TV parts, she landed on Everwood as a popular but troubled high-school student. When that show came to what many fans felt was a premature end in 2006, she snagged a plum role as a secret sibling on the family drama Brothers & Sisters.

A different kind of inspiration: A Memoir of Mistakes, Magazines & Motherhood By Mia Freedman

Ok, so this post isn’t about frocks or celebrity fashion directly, however it does connect in a roundabout way, being on the subject of former Cosmo editor Mia Freedman and her book “A Memoir of Mistakes, Magazines and Motherhood” in which I’ve just had the pleasure of reading.

As far as inspiration goes (in which I regularly post about on the fashion front), when it comes to career and personal inspiration, Mia has for a long time been at the top of my list.

Mia became editor of Cosmopolitan at age 24 in 1996. I was 22 then and Cosmo was my fashion & entertainment Bible. Being a young mum with 2 daughters (under the age of 2), my magazines were a brief escape into another reality in the rare moments I would get to myself.

Mia mentions in her book her own obsession with magazines & early ambition to one day work for the magazines she loved. I had similar goals however at 22, living 5 hours away from any major city, with 2 babies and a husband pursuing his own career as a Professional Bodyboarder, any kind of magazine career was simply not an option. Instead I used spare time to teach myself graphic design, write, dabble in designing clothes & fantasise about an eventual career mixing some or all of these hobbies.

With out sounding too “stalkerish”, I followed Mia’s “magazine” life over the years with interest and admiration, reading her first book ‘The New Black’ while travelling around Australia with my husband and kids in a caravan. Between my stash of Sex & The City DVD’s and Mia’s first book, I had an occasional short escape, knowing in my heart that I would eventually pursue my own ambition, I was totally content for the time being.

Fast forward to 2009 and the release of “A Memoir of Mistakes, Magazines and Motherhood” in which Mia openly discusses the un-glamorous side of her life over the past 20 years, I am once again in awe of this talented lady, but for many different reasons than in the past.

My daughters are now teenagers (just) and my career involves everything I once imagined. I now have much more time for myself, but it’s still a never ending juggling act. Mia’s new book detailing her own experience of balancing motherhood, career, & relationship’s has me once again feeling encouraged & inspired, reminding me that no matter what path we take in life, we’re all riding the roller coaster that life takes us on a daily basis, and nobody no matter how glamorous on the outside has it perfect all the time.

In her memoir, Mia shares some very personal experiences and amazing accomplishments, happiest moments and deep insecurities. In a world where we are so bombarded by “The Celebrity” and the appearance of their perfect lives, perfect wardrobes and perfect careers, it’s such a refreshing gift to be given a glimpse into such an remarkable Australian women, and the fascinating yet honest story of her life so far.

I really admire Mia for being the role model she is to so many, while at the same time being able to share her own insecurities and chaotic reality, making you feel re-assured that your own life needn’t be perfect to be wonderful and fulfilled.

I could keep going on and on about Mia & her new book, instead I’ll cut it short and just say that in my opinion it’s a MUST to read. I will be keeping mine close & purchasing more as gifts for friends that I know will appreciate Mia's story as well.

A Memoir of Mistakes, Magazines & Motherhood $27.99 Harper Collins

Of course, I'm proud to write something about my lovely idol which is my dream lady Taylor Swift. Taylor Swift was born December 13, 1989 at Wyomissing, Pennsylvania. Taylor Swift is a country music singer-songwriter from Wyomissing, Pennsylvania. At an age when most teenagers are only beginning to find their identity and lay plans for the future, there has never been much doubt in Taylor's mind about her calling. Inspired by her maternal grandmother, a professional opera singer, Taylor took up singing early in life. When she turned 12 she had picked up a guitar and began practicing for hours each day until her fingers began to bleed. While performing at a showcase at Nashville's Bluebird Café, Swift caught the eye of music industry veteran Scott Borchetta. He had plans to create a new label and decided Swift was one of the first acts he wanted to sign. Still a high school student fascinated by love, she released her debut single, "Tim McGraw," in August 2006.about the fashion sense of our lovely Country music princess, Swift was pretty love dresses as we see her having a dress outfits during her performance at the stage. Of course, her most fascinated fashion is her guitar. She love guitar because this is the instrument that make her on top and became the most stunning star on music industry today.

Not only that, her fashion statement is very elegant that features nice designs and style of designer clothes.

Sex and The City 2

There’s something exciting swirling around the globe at the moment that hasn’t been present since 2008 when we were approaching the launch of the first Sex & The City Movie. I remember clearly as shooting began in New York, and photos of the four girls outfits started to appear in the media, the buzz was everywhere and the topic of most female conversations was about what Carrie & Co were wearing. Patricia Field (The Sex & The City Stylist) is one clever lady, putting combinations together you would never imagine in your wildest dreams, yet creating such absolute perfection that nothing since has come close.

With current fashion trends right now taking on an 80’s “influence”, I’m not surprised to see a little of that mix in with the girls new wardrobes, however the extent of these outfits does have me a little worried! While details of the story line have not yet been leaked to the media, I’m really hoping that some photos are from a memory flash back as I’m really not feeling excited about venturing back to huge permed hair and a fluoro colour palette!

There are other photos though that I’m completely loving, SJP’s Halston Heritage purple and silver pleated dress for one, and the white dress (pictured below) accessorised by the Solange Azagury-Partridge gemstone necklace (valued at approximately $198,200!) It's going to be an exciting few months watching the outfits unfold, with the movie due out in May 2010; we can pretty much start planning our wardrobes for next year! I don’t think I’ll be lashing out on that Azagury-Partridge necklace anytime soon but you can bet your bottom dollar that chain stores will be madly creating their own versions of everything we’re seeing pictured.
