A Heart Warming Room Makeover

I love the elderly and I love beautiful spaces, so this post from Style By Emily Henderson really made me happy. Emily did a beautiful and thoughtful job and Fran's elated reaction to her work is just price less. 

Shop The Film: "Behind The Candelabra"

1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13

I haven't blogged in a while, partly due to lack of time and mainly due to lack of inspiration. Last night I was jolted back into the game after watching HBO's Behind The Candelabra. Really, all I can say is WHOA and please go watch it for yourself. I was dying today because I had no one to talk to who had seen it, so I decided to do the next best thing and create a collage of what I believe Liberace would love to shop for if he was still alive today and a woman. What am I saying, he'd totally buy this stuff as a man!

Fuzzy Sweaters- Almost Summer And Still Not Over It

1,2,3

For about two years now I have been on the hunt for the perfect fuzzy sweater. So far I have not been successful and with summer approaching my search seemed totally impractical until I came across the above photo of Chloe Sevigny. Snow white and fuzzy wuzzy, this dress may be my favorite look of Chloe's yet.  Although the dress is in the sweater family, Chloe's playful bow, silver flats, and killer tan make this look totally Spring and dare I say, early Summer appropriate. The sweater in the summer inspiration continues with an inky colored cropped sweater paired with shorts from Theysken's Theory Fall 2011 collection and a pale blue number accompanying a sheer summery white skirt.

Keira Weds

The most beautiful woman in the world (according to me) just wed wearing Chanel and a tiny chain of flowers in front of a small crowd of eleven in the south of France. I can't describe how much I am in love with this look. So sweet, elegant, and impossibley chic. I wouldn't expect anything less lovely from Keira. 

Ariel Pink Models For Saint Laurent, He's So Hawt Right Now

Me, Aubre, Ariel and Frank back in 08'

I, as much of the fashion world, have mixed feelings about this whole Yves Saint Laurent/Saint Laurent  business. Hedi Slimane has created quite a controversy by re-vamping the legendary fashion house after  taking over the label last year. I don't mind the whole grunge, rock, goth vibe and I love that he used "unwholesome" (NYT description, not mine) rock stars Marilyn Manson, Kim Gordon, Courtney Love, and Ariel Pink in the new ads rather than the same old models we constantly see, but everything screams Hedi Slimane and barely whispers classic Laurent. I understand that it is Slimane's creative liberty to make changes, but he has turned the place upside down, even dropping "Yves" which I totally do not agree with.  I think if this was Hedi's own personally label, everyone would be happy and  praise it, but as far YSL goes, if it's not broken why fix it?

Otherwise, go Hedi for using Ariel Pink in his ads! To quote Mugatu (Zoolander 2 in the works is literally the greatest news on the planet) "he's so hawt right now!". Along with his Saint Laurent gig, his song "Life in LA" is being used in the new Celine video. 

The boy has come a long way. In 2008 my friends and I had the privilege to hang out with him back stage at his show in Baton Rouge followed by impromtu swimming with his band at their motel. Ariel declined the swim with us and his band mates, but was very nice. Fun fact: He had on the very same pair of brown clogs that my Mom has been wearing for years. No wonder he is being fawned over by the fashion elite.

I just came across these photos by Mark Love Joy and I absolutely love them. They have me inspired to  want to create some splatter paint photographs of my own. Perhaps I have finally found a use for all my old nail polish.
