Middleton Body Secret; Leggy Prada Boots
lunchtime quickie: 6 links you'll lovecanada
(May.03.11)
* Remember the Atkins, the Zone, the South Beach, the Scarsdale...? Well the low-carb diet trend du jour is the Dukan Diet, named for the French doctor who is credited with helping the Middleton women fit into their fancy frocks. [Macleans.ca]
* Oh the Met Ball with its glam and glitz and dresses that make Royal Wedding hats look tame. Beyoncé needed two handlers to get up the stairs in her dress, the jury's out on Freida Pinto's dress and what's with Fergie's face? Michael K and the Fug Girls get their claws out. [DListed and The Cut]
* Prada, we love you. Really. You made us learn to appreciate nonna chic. But when we look at these Mary Jane boots (and the $1500 price tag), we have no words. [trendhunter.com]
* Apparently leggings are bad for us. The comfiness of the stretchy fabric and elasticized waist (plus the shape of dresses and tunics we wear over them) make us unaware of when we're getting out of shape. So that's why we love wearing them to holiday dinners! [Refinery 29]
* To top it off, should we opt for liposuction after years of wearing leggings and going on yo-yo diets, a new study shows we're very likely to get the fat back a year later — primarily in our paunch. Blurgh. [Globe and Mail]
* To cheer ourselves up, we're celebrating the launch of sweetspot.ca founder Joanna Track's pretty shopping site, Dealuxe.ca. Sign up and check out our own Ashleigh McKenna's editor's picks. [Dealuxe.ca]
