Rich Girls Dress Picks From Golden Globe Awards 2011
By Rich Girl
Filed under Rich Fashion
Today I have spent almost the whole day watching dresses from the Golden Globe Awards 2011 red carpet. I browsed through numerous “best dressed” and “worst dressed” articles and was surprised to notice that one dress that was completely trashed in one list, was worshiped on the other. This just proves one more time that everyone has own taste and every judgment is purely subjective.
So, I decided to just pick those dresses I would wear myself if I had a chance to sparkle on the Golden Globe Awards 2011 red carpet.
Here we go:
If I wanted to sparkle literally, I would have definitely chosen the dress by Marchesa. Olivia Wilde was wearing it instead and she looked stunning, just like a midnight princess.

Or I would have chosen a shimmering backless Armani Prive sheath dress as did Anne Hathaway. Anne has a stunning body and the dress looks great on her, I would probably need to lose some pounds before going out in such dress, though.
If I were pregnant during my red carpet debut on Golden Globes, I would have chosen Viktor & Rolf dress as Natalie Portman did. In some blogs people were trashing the red rose, but I actually like it. I think it adds cuteness to the whole “pregnancy” motif.

If I wanted to draw public attention to my boobs, I would definitely have chosen this beautiful belted Vera Wang gown, the one which Sofia Vergara was wearing. This dress is actually one of my most favorite from the Golden Globe Awards this year. Vera Wang yet again makes me love her.

Or I would go for the Zac Posen black fishtail dress just like Eva Longoria did.

Or I would be as sexy as Maria Menounos in Pamella Roland gown. It is great when you have something to show to the world.
And if I wanted to be really cute on the red carpet, I would have chosen pink ruffled Oscar de la Renta dress as Lea Michele did.

Or green asymmetric dress again by Vera Wang, the one that Mila Kunis was wearing.
So, here is my list of choices I would make if I were attending The 68th Annual Golden Globe Awards.
I didn’t want to write about the wrong dress choices, but there was just one major disappointment for me and this was the dress Leighton Meester was wearing. The dress itself (long-sleeved gown by Burberry Prorsum) maybe is not that bad, but I still think it was a wrong choice for Leighton. We have seen her in much more amazing dresses in this season’s Gossip Girl episodes. I loved the red dress she was wearing in Paris during the first or second episode. Anyway, she still looks good, but not WOW!
So, what about you, girls? Which dress was your favorite from this event?

Golden Globe 2011 Winners
By Rich Girl
Filed under Rich Girl's Blog
The 68th Annual Golden Globe Awards was exciting and entertaining event as expected. I really loved the host of the evening Ricky Gervais and his jokes. My favorite joke was about the movie “The Tourist” – “The reason why this movie was nominated is because members of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association just wanted to hang out with Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp.”
Here is the video with the Ricky Gervais introduction speech, in case you haven’t seen the event:
As I have expected none of my favorites from the list I made yesterday have won, but I am not disappointed with the actual winners. I am really happy for Natalie Portman, although I haven’t seen the movie “Black Swan” yet, but Natalie was always one of my favorite actresses and she deserves to win. She looked so cute and pregnant in her Viktor & Rolf gown. I really love this picture of Natalie which I’ve found here the most:

Awaiting The 68th Annual Golden Globe® Awards 2011
By Rich Girl
Filed under Rich Girl's Blog
Tonight a huge event will take place in Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, California. I wish I could be among those successful, talented and beautiful people during “The 68th Annual Golden Globe® Awards” ceremony. Well, if even Justin Bieber is going to be at Golden Globe Awards tonight and will be sitting at the same table with Halle Berry, then I guess I still have hope and everything is possible
As I have read on the official blog of the Golden Globe Awards:
Today’s Golden Globe Awards will not only be the biggest in it’s 68 year history but probably be the largest celebration of film and television ever held.
This is how the Golden Globe red carpet is looking today at noon:
Today one of the world’s busiest streets, Santa Monica Boulevard has been closed off and is now partly occupied by a caravan of 40 production and satellite trucks.
The red carpet will be the largest ever rolled out. It’s not just limited to the arrivals area, but even surrounding Merv Griffin Way – a street. The total carpeted area stretches 27.000 square feet.
Oswaldo a Orellana prepares over one thousand Filet Mignon’s.
Over 1500 bottles of Moet & Chandon champagne will be delivered and cooled.
Sounds great, isn’t it?! I can’t wait to see what the celebrities are going to wear tonight! And who is actually going to win, because this is the most important part, right?! I have selected my personal favorites from the list of nominees and of course I hope this also be the list of winners, here we go:
Best Motion Picture: Inception
Best Motion Picture – Comedy Or Musical: Red
Best Foreign Language Film: The Edge (Russia)
Best Director – Motion Picture – Christopher Nolan – Inception
Best Television Series – Comedy Or Musical – 30 Rock
Best Performance by an Actress In A Television Series – Comedy Or Musical – Tina Fey – 30 Rock (NBC)
Best Performance by an Actor In A Television Series – Comedy Or Musical - Alec Baldwin – 30 Rock (NBC)
As you can see, I didn’t list all the the categories, because I haven’t seen all the movies listed in those categories and for me it was hard to decide who was more eligible for the win.
Anyway, let’s see this amazing event tonight and may the best win!
What about you, rich girls?! Are you going to watch The 68th Annual Golden Globe Awards tonight? Who do you want to win?! Have you ever wanted to be a part of this glamorous world of TV and Movies? We would love to hear your opinion!

Teresa Scanlan Miss Nebraska Won Miss America 2011 Title
By Rich Girl
Filed under Rich Girl's Blog
Yesterday, on the 15th of January 2011, during the 90th Anniversary of the Miss America Pageant in Las Vegas Miss Nebraska 2010 Teresa Scanlan was crowned Miss America 2011.
Along with the title of Miss America 2011, Teresa won a $50,000 scholarship sponsored by Artistry exclusively by Amway to continue her education. Teresa’s scholastic ambition is to attend law school and to become a judge and eventually a politician.
During her year of service as Miss America 2011, Teresa Scanlan will travel approximately 20,000 miles each month across the USA speaking to audiences about her platform of Eating Disorders: A Generation at Risk, and acting as the National Goodwill Ambassador for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. In addition, Miss America 2011 will be the official spokesperson for Joseph Ribkoff International Clothing Company, who will provide Teresa with a full wardrobe for the year.
Teresa Scanlan
Additional information about the Miss America Organization can be found at www.MissAmerica.org.
I don’t know about you, girls, but I was always dreaming about becoming a Miss of anything! Unfortunately, this dream is not going to come true, the only hope I can have now is to win something in “Misses” pageants Anyway, I am really happy for Teresa Scanlan, as I think she will have amazing year full of adventures ahead of her.
The only doubt I have is whether she will really continue her studies and make it to be the judge in the end. As far as I remember all girls, who have ever won any beauty pageants ended up in show business or married to Billionaires. Not a bad “career path” I suppose. I just don’t understand why girls, who are considered to be the most beautiful girls in the country need to pretend they are interested in “World Peace” and other stuff like that? If a girl wants to participate in a contest, where you are selected mostly because of your looks (and the girl is aware of the fact that she looks hot, otherwise she would never participate in the first place), why instead of just saying:”I am so good-looking and I want to be famous, and I want to be on the cover of the magazines and in the movies or TV and marry a rich guy!”, they need to come up with “World Peace!” kind of stuff? Just a thought.
What about you, rich girls? Have you ever considered participating in beauty contests? Why?

Interview With The Latin Touch
By Rich Girl
Filed under Success Stories
Shakira, Eva Longoria, Penelope Cruz, Salma Hayek and the list goes on and on and on, these are the Latin women, who have concurred the world and won the hearts of almost all men and admiration of women from all over the world.
Now meet Isabel Lopez – the owner of the blog Miss Lopez.se where each and every post is made with the “Latin Touch”. Isabel was really kind to find time to answer to our questions and now you have a chance to fall under the spell of yet another Latin Goddess who now lives and maintains her unique and cheerful blog in Sweden.
Rich Girl: Hi, Isabel! Thank you for finding time to talk to Rich Girls Club! Tell us 3 things that best describe you.
Isabel: Hi! Well, 3 things about me: I am very creative, positive and social as I love people.
Rich Girl: You are originally from Madrid, Spain. Why you decided to leave your home country and move to Sweden?
Isabel: I love being international and meeting new people and cultures. I think you learn a lot of it. I have always liked countries like UK, USA and Northern Europe, but the reason why I moved to Sweden is because I have met a Swede in Spain where I come from.
By the way, I am both from A Coruсa, Galicia where I was born in the north of Spain and Madrid where I have most of my family.
Rich Girl: I know that a lot of people are afraid to change their life completely by moving to another country where they don’t know the language and have no friends. What do you think are the most exciting things about being an expatriate and make it worth taking the risk?
Isabel: I am an very adventurous woman, kind of risk taker in a good way. I love the challenge too, itґs part of life, I think. If you donґt try or take the risk, you wonґt win or learn anything new.
Maria Isabel Lopez
Rich Girl: I really love the slogan of your website: “Feelgood Womanhood”. How does the idea of creating Miss Lopez came up? Who and what inspired you to have your own website? Tell us more about it.
Isabel: Thank You. Well, it has been a process, like most things in life. Living in another country gave me the inspiration as I have always felt the need to show to the world who I am, my ideas and where I come from. I am very happy to have my own blog as itґs a big source of inspiration to me and others. Actually Miss Lopez itґs my own idea from the start and then I received feedback from different people that helped me to polish my idea and find my own way. “Feelgood Womanhood” expresses what I want to share with women all over the world.
I also love writing and the possibility of getting feedback from people makes me feel good! I think this is the most important: Life is to feel good getting the best things in life, finding balance yourself and make others feel good as well.
Rich Girl: You call your website “blog-magazine with a “Latin Touch”", what does it really mean? How would you describe Latin women in a whole?
Isabel: It means that itґs not just about my life. Miss Lopez is a concept: Feelgood Womanhood, so other women also can express themselves in my blog and not only Latin, all women. I focus on the Latin touch, because I am Latin from Spain and I think the whole Latin culture and its lifestyle has so much to offer to the world in order to feel good and cheer up others. A Latin touch will cheer you up!
Rich Girl: How do you picture yourself and your site Miss Lopez in 3 years time?
Isabel: Time will show. I see a prosperous future for the company, I want to be well known internationally. I want to make a difference in women life and attitude and I am looking for the right sponsors at the moment. I believe in my idea and I am thankful so whatever happens it has to be good. Just blogging itself is so good for me and already to many others. I see the positive is coming.
Rich Girl: Is there any celebrities whose style you like the most?
Isabel: I like Sarah Jessica Parker, Sharon Stone and Jennifer Lopez.
Rich Girl: How would you define success and can you call yourself a success? If not, what do you need to achieve to feel that way?
Isabel: Success to me is feeling good when working on achieving your goals. If it makes you feel good, then you are on the right track. I am working on it at the moment and I feel I am on the right way. Itґs also important to appreciate what you have already achieved. Success is in your mind and attitude!
Rich Girl: What advice do you have for those who want to start their own business or a blog?
Isabel: My advice is to ask yourself the reason why you think about starting a blog or a business. If you want to do it just for yourself as a hobby or for a business, etc… Blogging and starting a company takes a lot of time of your life and it needs a lot of dedication if you want to do it right. If you are willing to do it with all your heart, just do it!
Rich Girl: And the last question: give us your definition of Rich Girl.
Isabel: For me a Rich girl is a girl who enjoys the good things life has to offer. A woman that has a lot to give in all ways. Someone generous to herself and others that knows how to enjoy life and feel good! Feelgood Womanhood!
Rich Girl: Thank you, Isabel, for such interesting interview! Good luck and keep on posting!

Exclusive Interview With Fashion Blog Owner
By Rich Girl
Filed under Success Stories
Fashion blogging is one of the major trends online at the moment. And if done properly and with passion, it usually brings fame and recognition to the owners of such blog. For example, Swedish retail giant H&M after successful collaboration line with Lanvin will now launch a line designed by a fashion blogger in February!
Yes, fashion blogging is popular, but not everyone can do it in such unique and tasteful manner, as the owner of a wonderful blog I have recently found – Coco & Vera. The moment I stumbled upon this blog, I felt that I have found something special and I just wanted to share it with you. Please meet Cee, the girl behind Coco & Vera!
Rich Girl: Hi, Cee! Thank you for finding time to talk to Rich Girls Club! In order for us to know you better, please name 5 words/things that best describe you.
Cee: Two words that best describe me are focused and determined. It sometimes takes me some time to decide what I want to do, but once I do know, there is nothing I won’t do to achieve what I want. I would describe my style as classic, sophisticated and elegant; I’m not the type of girl who tries every trend, but I’m not shy about experimenting with things that aren’t trendy if I think they fit my style.
Rich Girl: How does the idea of creating Coco & Vera came up? Who and what inspired you to have your own website? Tell us more about it.
Cee: I’ve always loved fashion, and I have a bachelor of fine arts in creative writing. When I first stumbled upon a fashion blog, I realised that starting my own would be the perfect way to combine my two passions. It took another six months for me to work up the courage to do it, though; the idea of putting my style out there for the world to see- and possibly criticise- was terrifying. Since I finally decided to take the plunge, though, the experience has been nothing but positive.
Rich Girl: When I first stumbled upon your blog, I was amazed by the amount of high quality pictures of you in different outfits! Who is behind the camera and how do you always come up with new ideas for your outfits?
Cee: My husband is my photographer, and in that respect I’m very spoiled as a blogger- I think most girls take their own shots using a tripod and timer! My husband trained in photography at school and works part-time as a photographer (although now he mostly works for me! He does have his own blog) He shoots on a Nikon D300S, which takes just fabulous photos. As far as outfits are concerned, I get a lot of inspiration from other bloggers, and also from fashion magazines- InStyle is my favourite. But my ideas mainly come from trying to remix what is already in my closet- fashion is more about working with what you have than always having something new.
Rich Girl: How do you picture yourself and your blog Coco & Vera in 3 years time?
Cee: In some ways I just hope that Coco & Vera is still holding readers’ interest in three years time! Honestly, though, I would love for my work on my blog to eventually transition into a career in the fashion industry, possibly writing a column for a magazine or newspaper.
Rich Girl: On your blog you made the Resolution for 2011, tell us more about it. Have you decided how you gonna reward yourself in the end of 2011 for keeping it?
Cee: This December, I bought Christian Dior’s book, The Little Dictionary of Fashion. Reading it, I assumed it had been written in the early 1900s, the text seemed so dated… but it turns out it was published in 1954! How we have gone from wearing hats, gloves and afternoon frocks to yoga pants and hoodies in less than sixty years is baffling. I believe that fashion is about everything but being physically comfortable, so I decided to give up the item of clothing that I usually wear for comfort: denim. I make sure I keep my resolution, I gave away all of my jeans. At the end of the year, I’ll take all of the money that I saved not buying denim and put it towards something nice, like a Marc by Marc Jacobs purse.
Rich Girl: If you had all the money in the world what 3 shoe designer brands would be dominating your closet? Why?
Cee: The first one is easy: Christian Louboutin. It sounds cliché, but I recently had a chance to wear a pair for the first time and not only do they look stunning, they are also amazingly comfortable! I also love Repetto; they’re a dance shoe company that has branched out into fashion footwear and handbags. Their shoes are very ballerina chic, and designed for maximum comfort. And finally, I would have to choose Chanel. Because if I had all the money in the world, almost everything I bought would be from Chanel.
Rich Girl: Who are your most favorite fashion designers?
Cee: It’s really hard to narrow this down. Based on my answer to the last question, you know that I love Chanel. But I also love the girly glamour of Marchesa; the quirky whimsy of Marc by Marc Jacobs; the classic elegance of Miu Miu and the sleek simplicity of Chloe. As far as designer personalities are concerned, I really admire Miuccia Prada; she’s a strong woman who doesn’t mince words, and very witty, too!
Rich Girl: Is there any celebrities whose style you like the most?
Cee: When I was in ninth grade, one of my teachers told me I looked like Audrey Hepburn. I knew that was an incredible compliment but didn’t really know why, so I started investigating and found I really loved Audrey’s style, especially her proclivity from boat-neck dresses. Currently, I love Marion Cotillard, because she isn’t afraid to take risks with fashion and wear things that others wouldn’t dare, lest they end up on a ‘worst dressed’ list. She never looks the same twice, but she never fails to look amazing!
Rich Girl: How would you define success and can you call yourself a success? If not, what do you need to achieve to feel that way?
Cee: Coco and Vera has done very well so far, but it is only in its seventh month. I’ve been lucky to be successful thus far, but that doesn’t mean that I can become complacent… To remain successful, I know I have to keep working hard. I still have one big dream that I have yet to achieve, and that is moving to Paris. If I’m one day writing Coco and Vera from an apartment in Montmartre, I will have achieved everything I ever wanted.
Rich Girl: What advice do you have for those who want to start their own business or blog?
Cee: The same things don’t work for everyone when they start a blog, but I can say for sure that the more work you put into something, the more you’ll get out of it. I started blogging in June, but I only started taking it seriously in October. Since October, my blog has grown exponentially more quickly, and I know that is a direct reflection of my hard work. If you want to succeed, you have to want it; and if you want it, you have to work for it. Study other people who are successful to see what they’ve done and take inspiration from them, but remain fundamentally yourself; people are attracted to unique voices and points of view. If you can do those two things, the rest will come naturally.
Rich Girl: And the last question: give us your definition of Rich Girl.
Cee: To me, the idea of being rich has infinitely more to do with your quality of life than with how much money you have. If you’re happy and you have a passion for something; people you love who love you back and the freedom to indulge yourself in your favourite treats, whether its lattes or lipstick, then you’re rich.
Rich Girl: Thank you, Cee, for this wonderful interview! I wish your dream of blogging from your apartment in Montmartre will come true very soon! Good luck!
I really enjoyed this interview with Cee, what about you, girls?! If you loved this interview, I suggest you visit Cee’s blog Coco & Vera.

Oscar de la Renta Wedding Dresses
By Rich Girl
Filed under Rich Fashion
Oscar de la Renta wedding dress is the synonym of luxury and elegance in bridal fashion. His wedding gowns are often strapless with classic silhouettes, usually made of embroidered organza and laces. I saw one article about 7 the most influential bridal designers and Oscar de la Renta was the only man on that list.
Oscar de la Renta wedding dress was even featured in the first Sex And The City movie, when Carrie was working on a photo shoot for Vogue. I just love this episode of the movie.
Celebrities also choose Oscar de la Renta wedding dresses for their special day, for example, Katherine Heigl walked down the aisle in a custom-made Oscar de la Renta gown during her wedding to musician Josh Kelley on Dec. 23, 2008.

The same year (May 10, 2008) Jenna Bush, daughter of the 43rd U.S. President George W. Bush, wore an Oscar de la Renta gown during her wedding to Henry Hager.

It was a great pleasure for me to browse through Oscar de la Renta wedding gowns the other day, and I even picked some of my most favorite dresses from the spring and fall bridal collections for 2011 available on OscardelaRenta.com. Check out this website for more dresses as well as videos from the fashion shows.

Successful Girl Behind Runway Rundown
By Rich Girl
Filed under Success Stories
Marva Collins once said: “Success doesn’t come to you… you go to it.” And I think Kim Halzle, Co-Founder of amazing online website RunwayRundown.com, is the perfect example of how this works. At the early age of 18, Kim packed her bags and left her hometown Maple Grove in Minnesota to start her new successful life in Los Angeles, and never looked back.
I was tempted to ask Kim a few questions about her business, her goals, success as well as some girlie stuff and I am really glad that Kim found time to answer to them all! Now you have the chance to meet this beautiful girl and entrepreneur, and maybe her story will inspire you to take action steps towards your own success.
R.G.: Hi, Kim! Thank you for finding time to answer to few of my questions! I have read in one of your interviews that you have packed your bags and moved from Maple Grove, Minnesota to LA when you were 18. What inspired you to take such a brave step? Why LA?
Kim: This is an easy question to answer…it doesn’t snow in LA!
But seriously, at the end of High School I was preparing to decide on one of the 2 colleges I had been accepted to. One thing that kept me from taking the plunge and choosing the college route was that I didn’t have aspirations of settling with one specific career. I’ve always know that I’m going to have at least 10 professions in my life and I didn’t want to shut any doors that would prevent that by going to school for 4 years to become a teacher. So I chose the school of life and ended up in Los Angeles.
R.G.: When you moved to LA, were there times when you thought of leaving everything and going back home? What were you saying to yourself during such moments?
Kim: I hadn’t thought of leaving LA until recently, but I wanted to build something for myself that I could take with me. I feel like people flock to LA because there are so many opportunities to be had here, which is true. I’ve definitely experienced and learned a lot here and am grateful for every opportunity. That has been a motivating factor behind Runway Rundown. If done right, I can do this from anywhere.
Kim Halzle
R.G.: How does the idea of creating Runway Rundown came up? Who and what inspired you to have your own website?
Kim: I realized that my 9-5 job wasn’t enough for me. I had been fortunate enough to work for very successful people and realized that I wanted to be that successful person employing others. I decided I was going to put myself first and do what made me happy so long as I always felt challenged and was continuing to push myself. My boyfriend Jamie Evans was a major factor in the creation of Runway Rundown. Aside from him building the website from scratch, he helped creatively plan out short and long term goals for our brand.
R.G.: They say that you can always look rich if you have expensive shoes and accessories. On your site you help girls find the cheaper, but similar version to the runway looks. Do you think that cheap clothes, but if chosen correctly and worn with expensive accessories will help you look like $1 million?
Kim: I think you will look like a million dollars if you feel like a million dollars. Its all in your confidence. But yes if you have the funds, incorporating luxury items into your outfit can give you that look and feeling of dressing like a million bucks. That’s what I love about Runway Rundown, if you think you need that pair of Christian Louboutins to complete your outfit, I help you find an affordable alternative with a pair of Steve Madden heels that look identical. So now you really can dress to impress without any splurges.
R.G.: How do you picture yourself and your site Runway Rundown in 3 years time?
Kim: I would love to see continual growth in the sites viewership. It is rewarding for me to hear that viewers like what we are doing and that it is presented so well. In 3 years I would love to see Runway Rundown partnered with an online editorial and we would provide seasonal trend reports and shopping tips. I would also like to continue to grow our sites content and add Men’s fashion and even luxury Home decor.
R.G.: If you had all the money in the world what 3 shoe designer brands would be dominating your closet? Why?
Kim: Christian Louboutin-You can’t deny the red sole, Azzedine Alaia – The box that these shoes come in is perfection! The 3rd would be a tie between Pierre Hardy and Miu Miu – I love the embellished princess shoes that both brands offer.
R.G.: Who are your most favorite fashion designers?
Kim: Lanvin, Bottega Veneta, Marchesa, Isabel Marant
R.G.: Have you ever thought of becoming a fashion designer yourself?
Kim: I used to work for a fashion designer and saw how exhausting it was to put a collection out season after season. There is so much that goes into building a successful brand and the designer carried most of that on their shoulders. As rewarding as it would be to wear my own designs I don’t think I’m cut out to be a designer.
R.G.: Is there any celebrities whose style you like and frequently feature on your site?
Kim: We haven’t featured celebrity style on our site yet, but this is another way I would like to see our content expand in the near future. I’ve always loved how Emmy Rossum dresses, her image is sophisticated and timeless. And I’m a sucker for any fabulous red carpet dress, no matter what celebrity is wearing it.
R.G.: How would you define success and can you call yourself a success? If not, what do you need to achieve to feel that way?
Kim: Success is a feeling of satisfaction from accomplishing goals you’ve made for yourself. I wouldn’t call myself a success, because there is always something new I can learn and a higher goal that can be attained.
R.G.: What advice do you have for those who want to start their own business?
Kim: Do it! If you are able to find something that makes you happy and incorporate it into your work life than go for it. Don’t wait for it to happen, go out and make it happen for yourself. And remember, Everything’s about something.
R.G.: And the last question: give us your definition of Rich Girl.
Kim: Rich Girl is the success inside you that you didn’t know was there.
R.G.: Thank you so much, Kim, for this interesting and inspiring interview! I wish your website Runway Rundown to grow and expand!

Rich Celebrity Girls Relax In St. Barth’s

Filed under Rich Travel
Happy New Year, my dear Rich Girls! I hope you had a wonderful New Years celebration! I had so much fun! I was dancing till 7 a.m. in Marbella’s coolest venues. This year I decided to celebrate New Years here in Marbella and I loved it.
But a lot of celebrities decided to celebrate New 2011 Year in St. Barth’s – the ultimate winter holiday destination for rich and famous. Rich Girls Club was writing about St. Barth’s in the beginning of 2010. I love to watch all these celebrity pictures from this magical island and probably will go there in the end of this year. But let’s just see who was spotted enjoying good time and sunny weather in St. Barth’s this holiday season.
Fergie and Josh Duhamel
Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Jason Statham
Salma Hayek with Husband and daughter Valentina
Ellen Degeneres and Portia de Rossi
What about you, girls? Where is your personal favorite world’s destination/spot for New Years’ celebration?
Yours,
