Celeb News

Fantastic back issues of InFashion. Vintage Tyra, Marky Mark and awful '90s style...




Joshua Jackson and Diane Kruger are one of my favorite celeb couples. I suspect she helped him select this polka dot neck scarf. I think it works! What do you think?




Angelina Jolie looking lovely in Japan wearing a Ralph Lauren grey cashmere dress. Its great to see her return to her signature style after the more billowy looks we have seen lately.




Jay Lyon (better known as Whitney's boyfriend on The City) has released a music video starring Miranda Kerr!

Notes from the net

The Selby

Another children's book is coming to the big screen! Does everyone remember Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs? Andy Samberg, Anna Faris and Mr. T are all lending their voices to this 3D animated feature.

Yay! More Amy Poehler!

Olivia is looking to make the leap from scripted reality to "serious acting". Toodles!

Underwear do or don't....I think I'll take this over that thank you.

Notice that perezhilton.com is NOT on this list??

Cutoffs are everywhere! Here, here and my favorite - here!

Happy Birthday Harlequin!



Harlequin turns 60 this year...just think, beauties like these paved the way for Sex and the City....

So long Domino...

Breaking news - the much loved Domino magazine is folding!

My heart sank when I read the news on A Cup of Jo this morning.

Conde Nast has confirmed that it will cease publication of both the magazine and the site as of March.

Read more here and here.

In tribute, here are a few of my favorite issues of Domino (including Jessie Randall's apartment and the For Like Ever poster I ordered online!).

Before and After

This amazing kitchen renovation was featured on Design*Sponge...






The blue of the glass against the chocolate wood with the stone detailing gives the room a very organic yet crisp feel. The island, bar and dining table make it a perfect area for entertaining.
Love.

Best of Domino Magazine (February)

Ah I love Zooey!
























Although I didn't agree with all of her styling, I did love Mary McDonald's use of a chalkboard. Chalkboards are so simple but fun. Try making your own with blackboard paint from a craft store.








This bra featured on the French inspired Editors Picks page - so girlie and pretty!


















I adored Sunrise Ruffalo's house. This entryway features perfectly mismatched artwork and found objects.



















Even the kids rooms were amazing - the 'peace on earth' banner came from a local flea market.

Four things I loved this weekend...

MAC

Slumdog Millionaire - What a great movie. I also loved the book which was quite different than the movie. I suggest you check out both!

Although I debated trying something different, I repurchased the Mac Plushlash and I am glad I did! They modified the brush and it is quite an improvement on the original shape. Love!

After reading Skinny Bitch I've been paying more attention to purchasing organic products (especially wines). The organic Grenata Malbec 2007 is delicious!

On Saturday we celebrated a friends birthday at a Belgian restaurant called Chambar. The Moroccan Lamb Tagine was to die for. I found this recipe online and am inspired to try Moroccan cooking!
Do you have any recipes to share?

Where the Wild Things Are - Sneak Peak


Ain't It Cool News
In case you haven't heard, the incredible Spike Jonze is directing a live action movie version of Where the Wild Things Are. I loved this book and wanted to be Queen of the Wild Things!
The movie is scheduled for release in Fall '09.

GOOP - Gwyneth and friends favorite books



Gwyneth at the Iron Man Premier - LA TIMES

The new issue of GOOP featured Gwyneth's high profile friends such as Madonna and Christy Turlington discussing their most loved books.

Madonna listed The Bad Girl by Mario Vargas Llosa among her favorites. How ironic...
Christy chose one of my personal favorites Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen.

As for Gwyneth - she first read Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte at age 10 and has read Fyodor Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment numerous times.

What did you think of Gwyneths celebrity book club? What books are your most loved?

Obama's Inauguration - History is Made

Did you watch? yay!everyday

Huffington Post

Sign on SanDiego

How cute are these two? Before their first dance as President and first lady, Barack greeted the crowd with - "First of all, how good looking is my wife?".

Designed by Isabel Toledo, Michelle's inauguration ceremony dress featured a beautiful jewelled collar.
The white, one shoulder gown she wore for the ball was created by a relatively unknown designer - Jason Wu.

Hamish Bowles (Vogue) called the gown "supreme modern elegance. A pitch-perfect choice: appropriately formal but romantic and imaginative."

According to tradition, Michelle's ball gown will be donated to the Smithsonian.

What did you think? Did you like her dress selections?

Obama Mania

The best t-shirt...

The Obey print...


This fun stamp from kisok...


A photo shoot with Terry Richardson. I wonder if Terry, Barack, Michelle and Jen Brill had dinner together??

Four things I loved this weekend....

Starbucks....and the gift card I received from Jen! Nothing better than a hazelnut americano misto on a Saturday morning.

The beautiful tiered eggplant colored silk blouse I found at
artizia. Their holiday sale is winding down but there are some great deals to be found.

Skinny Bitch....my friend Lula turned me on to this and it was a great read. You'll never look at dairy the same way again.

The boy and I just finished watching the previous seasons of Entourage. Ari Gold is amazing.
