I'm Baaaaaaack!

 Ha, yeah, okay maybe not to this level, but yeah, I'm back!

If this photo completely throws you off and you have no idea why its even on this post, you need to go home and watch The Shining. Seriously, what is wrong with you?!

On a not so scary note though, I'm back. And I promise to be here for a while. Kay? Kay.

Much love to you, my pretties.

A Breath of Fresh Air



source
I can't get over Vogue's Happily Ever After spread featuring Anne Hathaway! Just ... wow!
Everything about this spread is truly stunning, I haven't been this excited over a Vogue spread in the longest time.

Mario Testino has somehow managed to outdo himself. I don't know how this man does it but his photographs just keep getting amazing. I still don't know who was behind the styling but it was done perfectly. The gowns, the sets, the jewelry--sweet Jesus, the jewelry!--accessories, the hair and makeup it was all outstanding! Every detail in every shot was set perfectly, I loved everything.

Of course, Hathaway's interview was the cherry on top. She is such a level headed young woman, I love that about her. She talks about her fears, her plans and how she's changed and matured with her recent experiences, both romantically and on her own. It's so refreshing to see a young star talk about her life without putting up a facade, without pretending the only thing she worries about is getting to yoga class on time. Here, Hathaway lets us in on how much her relationships affect her and how she's trying to overcome what, not long ago, once intimidated her.
"When I begin a relationship, there’s that pressure to be the most, to be more comfortable and open than anyone else. When you finally realize that you can just be your own scared, fucked-up self and that you can still be sexy without trying to be, it’s such a great relief. When uncondensed you is enough.
There really is nothing better than having a real, no bullshit conversation. This is exactly what this interview is, its a day spent with Hathaway talking about life, dreams, fashion and boys. She's one truly admiring chick.

Please pick up a copy of November's Vogue to catch all the photos in their spreadtastic glory and catch up with Hathaway in Adam Green's interview. (Okay if you don't have time you can do so online at the fabulous Vogue.com, but it won't be the same!)

Beyond Cute

source
Super adorable treats for everyone! Really, who can resist a tasty cupcake in a jar? This is beyond cute!

London-based Gilian Boateng, mother turned professional baker, offers delicious handmade desserts at her bakery G Desserts.

The specialty at G Desserts are the cupckaes in a jar, made from only the finest and freshest ingredients, with most of the ingredients sourced from local and regional producers in the UK.  And what's with the jars? Well, Boateng had originally started using them for portion control, but with time realized how efficient they are. The jars make the cupcakes travel safe and easy to store or refirgerate, but at the same time the jars make a beautiful impression at dinner parties, weddings and even as gifts!

If only they were available in the U.S., by now, I would have a desk full of jars!

Hello, October!

October really snuck up on me this year, but I am very happy to see its arrival.

I am oh so very excited! October is my favorite month of the year, followed of course, by December and my birth month, September. I love to see the weather changing, the fall leaves falling, the coats and the scarves making their appearances and the Halloween spirit that consumes many of us!

Happy October to you, kiddies! ;)

Eye Candy

Well, kids, its Friday and the week hasn't been kind. To end the week right, I think its only fair that we feast our eyes on the gorgeously, sharp-looking Michael Pitt.
Damn, boy.

Roset's Muse

conradroset

I lust over this illustration.

Actually, I lust over all of Conrad Roset's illustrations. I wanted to post so many of his 'Muses' pieces but well, I settled for one of my top 10 favorites. Everything about his work is beautiful; colorful delicate nudes with a mixture of grunginess and a fun edge. Do check out Roset's website, I promise you will love his work.

Roset is a 26 year-old illustrator from Barcelona, Spain. This dude has already worked for ad campaigns with the likes of Zara, Adidas and Coca Cola. Most recently he had an exhibit at the Yolanda Rojas gallery, in Granada, Spain.

I am so in love with Roset's work. I covet his talent and each of his delicate pieces. Keep tabs on this kid, I am almost sure he's on to something big.

Happy Birthday


Happy Birthday to a fantastic man, badass actor and fellow Virgo, Bill Murray! 60 years ago, today he was born. I suggest you celebrate his birth with some alcohol and a Murray movie marathon. Cheers!

Hooray for Football!

enoch bolles
I can't even begin to express how excited NFL season makes me! So happy the Saints got a victory in last night's season opener and that fucking Brett Favre had a loss. (Don't get me started on that man!)

Hooray for NFL drafts, bets with people I loathe and maddening stats. Hooray! Hooray for cookouts, beers and the passion of watching your team play! Hooray! Hooray for the fans, the rivalries and the madness! Hooray for football!

Eye Candy

rolling stone

























Yeah, Jon Hamm, hello to you and hello to September. Wow, September, already, can you believe it? Fall can't get here soon enough, or at least I wish that right now, but once it does, in the blink of an eye the holidays will be here and I will be going crazy. Oof.
Let's take a deep breath, kids.

I honestly don't even know how I came across Karl Hebert's website, but I have to tell you, I went through the whole thing. I definitely love that Hebert's site is reminiscent of a vintage life.
Hebert, an Austin native currently living and working in Paris, is a graphic designer. His work is very rad, he is very talented in both in illustration and design. He is detail oriented and as I mentioned earlier has a sort of vintage flair. His site is simply beautiful. Take a fiver and check it out.
