There are not many days in which dreaming of being famous is part of what I think about. However, when parties like this come about I wish I was a. in paris, and b. famous enough to get an invite. What a fun night! It is always nice to see such beauties in their party best arriving at what looks to be an incredible French night! Enjoy!
This film has been the last in a long line of holiday, and Oscar season films that have been on the agenda to see for ages. Finally the film debuts, and is happily played to audiences awaiting the reuniting of Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet, which was not as interesting as a new Sam Mendes film to this movie goer. However, even though Las Vegas is the home of more than two million people, this valley does not EVER get the good films in the "select city" release, and to add insult to injury, all the potentially good films open in one theater in the Valley. So after one attempt at screening the movie, where the line was 45 minutes to purchase a ticket (an attempt, not sucessfully completed) another attempt was made by going to one of the three theatres that were within a 20 minute drive from Downtown. This is not surprising considering the top movie rentals from Netflix for Las Vegas are things like "Three Days to Vegas", "Deal", " The Girl Next Door", and "School for Scoundrels". There is of course room for whimsy in renting videos, but the list for Las Vegas is obviously a bit off tilt. What is going on here people! I just wish that I didn't feel like I live in Montana sometimes, where it's possible to have an independant theatre, and cinemas that include not only horror movies, and slap stick comedy. image: rotten tomatoes
The couture collections have begun, and although there are many fancy dresses that I would love to have to shoot some fab editorial in a dirty ally or in the middle of the street, I would like 3 of these please, only with a nude shoe, and glasses. Image style.com
I'm sorry but who let this girl get out of her limo in this dress. I'm hoping that her stylist is someone who simply spilled red wine on the dress she was supposed to wear just before she left the house. I'm usually keen on silvery dresses, and I'm also in favor of a little glitz for these award show events, however this is ridiculous. This frock MIGHT have looked good on a very thin young actress, if it was cropped at the knee, for the teen choice awards with different hair and accessories, but oh my goodness...
Yes, I admit that I am one of the 180,000 people that visit Bryan Boy daily. No matter that he has his own Wikipedia site, and that he has a Marc Jacobs bag named after him. These things in which I would normally be VERY green over, I'm not. I get to simply enjoy the site daily! There is no way that he needs my endorsement, but in any case, I thank and recommend Bryan Boy for those times when you have already read Perez, and need something else for a 15 minute distraction.
AB FAB IS COMING!!!! Fox has green lit a pilot for an American version of this British show. Jennifer Saunders is on board so we should look forward to a great adaptation of this brilliant show. I'm really not sure what green lighting is, or if that means that they will make one show and cancel it after they don't have 30 million people watching the first night like they always do, but this thrills me that there is a chance. I will put a bottle of Champagne on ice...image TVsquad.com
I love Clint Eastwood, I always have. If I were a young actress, I would sit in his office lobby until he met with me, even if it took years. However, this movie was awful!!!! I wanted to enjoy it so much, and I understand that he used first time actors, and a first time script writer, but maybe that's why it wasn't great. Maybe that Clint Eastwood flavor was taken out of it. The acting was very amateur, (obviously) the script was pretty elementary, and I felt like it was a paint by numbers sort of film. Maybe his next one will be more Clint Eastwood, and less newbies. Looking forward to Revolutionary Road this weekend!
Normally I would not fall in love with a complete line like this, but I will attempt to put together this entire line from the Fall09 Burberry collection from my own closet. Possibly the grey suit is a must have. The shoulders and slim fit of the pants might just possibly be the most perfect suit of the season. I'm sure the doom and gloom has translated into grey, black, and tan for many collections, and I will take it as a positive, as these are my favorite colors to wear! images style.com
This is what I'm talking about people. What on earth is this? I look at the style section of the Review Journal and this is the kind of stuff that is being written about. In a town of over 2 million people, the only style things to report on is the new opening of the Rock and Republic store, or this horrid outfit at some other shop?? I ask, is it that there isn't anything else to write about? Is it that there is no style in this city? What is going on here? Clearly everyone doesn't wear rock and republic, and weird bedazzled leather jackets like this...image lasvegasreviewjournal.com
This could be a favorite blog post, but it really is specific to Milan and Italy in general. I always look forward to some of the European shows because I know the Sartorialist will be there to capture people walking in and amongst the streets! This left pic I will save forever! What a gem of a mother daughter walking in the Milan streets! The women of Milan have such great style, although LLG's post about it is not only hilarious, but makes the allure of actually attending much less appealing. I will sit at my computer and let the pro's do it for me! Thank you!
I think it goes without saying that I want each piece that Alexander McQueen makes, but this dress particularity. I can only image walking into a show, or event in Las Vegas of all places wearing this ensemble (bowler hat, head scarf, gloves and all). I'm sure it would be met with complete abashment, confusion, and distain, but I would be the happiest girl in the room notwithstanding. image wwd.com
I don't really care that people hate Victoria. The girl is amazing. If only I could drink only peppermint tea on a 12 hour flight (which has been reported). She has three little boys, is always dressed to the nines, travels around the world wearing outfits that I could probably only handle for like 13 minutes before complaining. I love this photo, I would like a graphic designer to follow me around with photo shop so my skin looked this amazing at all times. image vouge.ru
Everyone is so doom and gloom these days, even the fashonistas. This isn't something new, there have been rumblings for months about canceled post parties, designers deciding to not show at fashion week, scaling back etc. There is an intreseting article about all of this here...http://www.thecommentfactory.com/the-fashion-industry-sinks-in-the-global-economic-downturn-1474
I'm wondering how on earth I can be a seemingly normal girl, full of ambition, and self control and yet I can't seem to loose the ten pounds that I have put on in the last two years. Is there some trick that I'm not aware of? As a girl of an age that should be perfect for keeping trim and fit, I'm grappling with the notion that I'm out of the loop as to how to have the self control to not indulge in one more cookie, or one more helping of Chicken Panang. I'm I missing something? Britney Spears seems like she is someone who doesn't have much control, her father has control over her finances, and judges make all sorts of decisions as to what she can do with her children, on and on. This post isn't a Britney Spears post but DAMN! She is looking pretty fit if nothing else. How is this done? Is it just that she has enough money to have someone else be in control of her food and excerise regimin? When it is all said and done, I must be minus the gene that one must have to put the fork down, and get up on the treadmill. If Britney Spears can do this then surely, I can somehow muster a bit of restraint, and only eat the one serving of Thai, rather than two...More on these adventures soon...
Is it the intent of the outgoing President to make Americans unable to travel abroad??? As Mr. Bush's last outgoing statements, he is raising the import tax on Roquefort cheese made in the south of France to %300. It isn't because he would prefer to eat American cheese, it is because the French have banned any imported beef treated with bleach and hormones from the US. Shouldn't we try to ban these for ourselves!? Clearly, they don't want our beef products and would prefer to eat meat that isn't treated horribly and is treated with all sorts of chemicals. Way to go Mr. President, I'm glad that keeping yummy cheese out of the hands of Americans is your top priority in your last days. Ridiculous!
In spite of the fact that it feels like 80 degree's in Las Vegas, I'm still wishing that it was a little more cold, so that I could attempt something like this, even though I'm sure I would butcher it. Never-the-less, what a perfect ensemble to run errands, have a bite to eat and pick up the kids in. This is the only way in which some sort of athletic style boot and shorts works. Kudos to Ms. Patrow for her inspiration for today. Image Via thefashionspot.com
This is all I'm asking for, a lovely snowy day where I can dress up in a cute layered outfit, go home, make dinner and watch movies with my boyfriend. Is this too much to ask!? What a doofus I am for rejecting the Balenciaga Motorcycle when I had the chance to snag one. I was simply too afraid of getting the "it" bag and it being dated before I could whip it out of the fresh Barney's box. I go and visit them at Barney's sometimes and wish I had magical powers to go back in time and choose that one over my black leather Gucci, that isn't too much to ask right?
Listen girls, this is NOT an attempt at making fun, or embarrassing anyone. I'm simply wondering where this "fashion" is coming from. Why on earth do we as a city, and as a group of young people condone this sort of behavior for our young women. I ask, has anyone in Las Vegas picked up a fashion magazine in the last five years? Well, I doubt that even five years ago, there was anything resembling what is being worn out on the town today. But back to the point....I really encourage our young women who come from all over, to think about what they are putting on before going out. Don't we all have a little responsibility to ourselves to have a specific point of view and to not simply put whatever BEBE dress is on the manequin on? I simply would like to see a variety in what girls are putting on. Surely each and every girl that goes out doesn't really all love the tight, jewel colored dress that shows lots of skin, with false nails, hair, breasts, hair color, etc. I'm putting a call out to all these lovely ladies, to ask themselves the next time they are going out with girls, what image do I really want to project? What is flattering on my body? I'm hoping that we can create a city of individuals and not this second rate version of LA style, with bedazzled shirts and tight dresses, and the Vegas highlight job (This is to you also boys, but that is really a whole issue in itself).
It seems as though I'm the only one that didn't know this was going on...people all over the world are knitting in place of using spray paint, or other more permanent types of Graf art. Now, I'm not suggesting that all Graf is bad, and I don't think that many types of art that we are all comfortable with would exist today if it wasn't for these people. That said, I'm inspired to a. learn to knit, and b. start randomly doing this in Las Vegas. This is the old lady coming out in me I guess. I know this because yesterday I saw a station wagon Volvo, and thought it was cute, and practical, and safe and wouldn't mind driving one....I know, pretty crazy. Anyway, read all about these cute girls at smh.com.au (where I found some of these images, as well as some flikr accounts that have TONS of pics of Guerilla Knitting!) Enjoy!
If only I could roll out of bed in the morning, throw on six items, ten pieces of jewelry, and always look perfectly disheveled, and bohemian, I would be a happy girl. I know people are always destroying these girls because they look ragged, but honestly they do the downtown thing with just enough panache as anyone. Thank goodness they go get coffee as much as they do, or we would never see what they are wearing!
Ok, I know that people are very weird about Katie Holmes, but for god's sakes people, she was on Dawson's creek on the WB, and she married Tom Cruise. We need to just get over that, just enjoy her cute style that comes with having every piece of available merchindise at her disposal. She does a pretty good job of choosing fun and cute things. I always love the Miu Miu ads, and this new one is no exception. Can we all get over the fact that she is Tom's wife and not hate her so much for having cute hair, and great style??
As I was in LA yesterday, attempting to get through traffic on an award night, as I have never experienced before, I wondered even more than I normally do, what everyone was wearing inside their black limos lining the street, awaiting the red carpet. Since I was on an official art quest that day, on my way to the Hammer. I wasn’t sure about this look from Drew Barrymore, but I’m thinking it may be the most beautiful I have seen her! This 1950’s look is risky, and gorgeous! Anne Hathaway looked perfectly pale, and lovely int his Navy Armani, with Red lips and nails to match! Amy Adams’ dress Oscar de la Renta looked perfectly sparkling, and with natural hair and minimal jewels, it was quite lovely. Unfortunately, I will have to wait for the Oscars, to see something completely jaw dropping, as I was not thrilled with the season opener this year! Fingers crossed! xo
