It's Sunday! What are you doing tonight?

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.

Crystal Renn + Zac Posen = LOVE

Crystal Renn for Zac Posen, what, what!
Renn, is one of my favorite top models because well, look at her, she's fucking gorgeous.
I am so happy she is getting so much exposure these days, even if its because of her on and off weight loss/gain.

Really, who cares if she was a plus-size and is going back to a "regular" size model? She seems to be happy with where she's at and she looks damn good.

Weight on or off, I will always love her, she is a truly beautiful woman.

Instant Smile | Holiday Edition

So, its Monday, December 13 and I am finally getting in the Christmas spirit.
I blame work and being sick and well, just life in general, for me being all grinchy up to well, about 3 hours or so ago.
Its ridiculous I know.

Some weeks ago I came across this site, Rdio.com, that lets you create a collection of music, playlists, etc. that you can sync to your phone or listen to on the web. Its quite rad, really. Anyway, I came across the Charlie Brown Christmas EXTENDED album and added it to my collection, but never really played it. Today I was searching to play something to get me going, but nothing seemed to fit my mood, then this.
I can't explain what big of a smile the first notes of this album gave me. Everything just came flooding into my head–––memories of family, gifts, people I miss, ideas for presents, ideas in general, random thoughts––it was quite unbelievable. You might think I'm ridiculous but I feel pretty damn warm and fuzzy inside and that, well, that makes me smile so much. Given the days I've been having recently, I am really cherishing these moments.

So, here I am, alone in my office. Multitasking like a mad woman, listening to A Charlie Brown Christmas with a big ole' smile on my face. Like a freakin' kid.
Its nice. :)

So I share some of my warmth with you. Take a moment to listen, even if its as background music, I guarantee some holiday cheer in your day, an instant smile.

Much love to you my kiddies!

A Breath of Fresh Air

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!)

Oh, don't mind me, just you know, here, daydreaming ...

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.

Sweet Lovin'

Loving you, is easy because you're beautiful ...

I've been having the worst case of sweet tooth lately. It's been so bad, I literally gasped in delight when I came across this photo. So now I am dying to travel to Austria and have the scrumptious Sachertorte pictured here. Curse my lack of travel points!

It's Real Love ♥

All my little plans and schemes
Lost like some forgotten dream
Seems like all I really was doing
Was waiting for you ...

From this moment on I know
Exactly where my life will go
Seems that all I really was doing
Was waiting for love ...

Fact: I hope to be this in love one day and maybe even one day make this my wedding song. Maybe. If I get lucky, right?
I get chills and the urge to cry my little eyes out every time I hear this song, never fails.
Can you imagine how Yoko Ono feels every time she hears this song? If someone wrote me a song like this it would always be playing in my car, my home, my head and my heart. ♥

This morning my heart aches for this. Boy and girl holding hands, enjoying a magnificent work of art.
Doesn't really get any better than that. ♥

What girl doesn't appreciate a sharp dressed, hot, bearded man? I do. A whole lot.
Yum!

Yumalum indeed! I need everything in this etsy shop! I could fill a room with their prints. So rad.

Alexander McQueen was a brilliant designer, there is no doubt about that. Only he could create such intricate collections, bold cuts and mesmerizing patterns. McQueen was truly, one of a kind. After his untimely death, I honestly couldn't imagine the design house carrying on without him. Who will take over? Is anyone capable of filling his 12 inch, armadillo heeled shoes? Never!
Well, my ass wrong.
Alexander McQueen's new creative director Sarah Burton—the designer's right hand—came out on top with high honors. The line's Resort 2011 collection is something out of McQueen's head, with a subtle softer, girlier touch. Everything is very detail oriented—the shoes, the beading, accessories and evening gowns—everything is where its supposed to be. Most of the outfits are ready to wear, only a couple were bold runway statements. Of course, not as bold as Alexander himself, but truly keeping his legacy alive. You see the collection and you know its a McQueen. Burton was clearly the best choice to keep the design house and McQueen's spirit alive. Cheers to her.
