Dream House

"This house is warm in the winter, cool in the summer, and looks spectacular with Christmas lights. This is a great house. I never want to move. But the thing I like best about this house are the voices I hear when I walk though the door."   -George Banks

Mona Lisa Smile...

Have you seen the new Mid Century, 50's proper collection for Anthropologie. As you know I absolutely love anything and everything Anthro does (for the most part) but I especially love their visual displays and editorial photo shoots. I love how they create a story (which you can read about here) and then tell that story in order to show out a new assortment of clothes or a new collection of Home Decor. To me it gives new store bought items a nice vintage twist by giving them a story or background if you will. When you put on this skirt above or the beret below you feel as if you become a character in a long lost book or as Anthro likes to put an actress in Mona Lisa Smiles... And did you see those platforms above... swoon!!!

(perfect for spring... the Painters Work Skirt)

(showcase effortless style in this Reed Shirtdress)

(love that clutch)

Now I just have to decide which pieces would fit into the novel of my life (ie. my closet)... Hum, I think I might go watch Mona Lisa Smile for a little inspiration myself. I've never seen the movie, but if inspired this spread, its sure to inspire me.

Ciao my lovelies!

Movie Review: The September Issue

Thursday evening I went and saw "The September Issue" with a friend of mine and was more than surprised. I wasn't sure if a documentary about Vogue would be exciting especially after The Devil Wears Prada, I mean how could anything else compare, but let me tell you this gets 5 stars from me. In my opinion the star of the show and American Vogue for that matter is Grace Coddington, the creative director for the magazine. The movie had style, fashion and lots of drama. I particularly like the more personal look at Anna Wintour, you actually left the movie feeling a tad bit sorry for her. Overall its very interesting and exciting for anyone who has ever looked at a September issue of Vogue, so actually get a behind the scenes look at all the work that goes into creating it. Highly recommended and a must see!

In the fashion world, the year begins in September... here's to another great one.

Upcoming fashion events in NYC:
Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week 9/10- 9/17
Fashion Night Out 9/10

If your in the NYC area be sure to check out The September Issue, for those in LA is coming Sept. 11th.

Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland

As I am sure you have guessed by now, I love fairytale's and when it comes to Alice in Wonderland there is no exception. Of course I like the Disney version of the Lewis Carroll classic, but my favorite growing up was actually the 1980's TV version which was actually a little scary with the jabberwocky monster and all. I think the darkness of it actually added to the overall movie and if you know your fairytale's, it does happen to follow the original by L. Carroll more accurately, which is why I'm super excited to see Tim Burton's version coming out March 2010. Starring Johnny Depp as The Mad Hatter and Anne Hathaway as The White Queen, the movie looks like its going to be amazing at least from a visual point of view. Check out the pictures below released from filming.









I would love to have an adventure in wonderland... I mean come one, who doesn't love the idea of falling through a looking glass every once in a while.

Now I'm FINALLY off to bed, gotta go have a few dreams of my own.

Why, don't you know? They're twitterpated!!!

A dear friend of mine Crystal reminded me about the joys of being twitterpated last night... and I thought I would share with you exactly what that means. Such a cute reminder of the innocents of falling in love! Although Bambi, Thumper and Flower say "its not gonna happen to me" soon after this clip below, they all find themselves twitterpated... and I don't think they mind so much after all. =)

Enjoy!



"Nearly everybody gets twitterpated in the springtime. For example: You're walking along, minding your own business. You're looking neither to the left, nor to the right, when all of a sudden you run smack into a pretty face. Woo-woo! You begin to get weak in the knees. Your head's in a whirl. And then you feel light as a feather, and before you know it, you're walking on air. And then you know what? You're knocked for a loop, and you completely lose your head!"
