Living Vicariously

Wishing I was modeling in Paris... *le sigh*

For more delightful Parisian visuals, check out this trailer for new movie, "Midnight In Paris".

 I could watch this trailer endlessly... Paris is so beautiful and romantic.. I wanna go sooooooo bad.

Keeping Your Eyes On The Prize

It's been one of those days.. actually it's been one of those weeks.. You know the ones.. where you just want to pull the covers over your head and shut out all that is frustrating.

Feeling like instead of "Bi-Winning", you're bi-losing? Losing over here and losing over there...

Well, if you're having one of those days or weeks or months or quarters too, I share this video of a determined pooch and his ball.



The moral of the story don't EVER stop until you got the ball in your mouth.

His successful tactics:
1. Be laser focused, don't let anything distract you. Deaf to the cackles of his nay-sayers.
2. Don't let your fear paralyze you. Keep circling and be inventive! "Hmmm, I'll use my paws too..."
3. Don't stop until the objective is met. Ball in mouth.

A Single Man

I'm so tarty for the party. I just saw "A Single Man', written and directed by the fabulous Tom Ford. The movie in a word was STUNNING! Not only was the story beautifully written and captured, the set design was mesmerizing. I think I may have to watch it another kabillion times.

While watching the movie, I had to pause it to just marvel at the sheer beauty of the interiors. Case in point:

A fabulous cornucopia of textures and ethnic elements. The super tall Moroccan lamps, the Ikat drapes, the African bone inlay mirror, the Flokati covered chair. This dressing space is inspiring.

 

More fabulousness!!  I want to start entertaining in full makeup, hair in a fab updo and rocking a ankle length dress. Not practical but I still wanna do it. I spy more Moroccan influences, the chest and the lighting in the hall and more bone inlay mirrors. I LOVE!!

I love the formality yet ease of the dining set up on the veranda. We have a side porch off the living room in our new house.. guess what I'll be copying?

More Ikat, this time in an fab upholstered headboard, complete with nailheads. Adore!

Ummm, yeah I'm gonna need some orange trees in my house too!! I squealed with delight when I saw this. I startled my husband out of his sleep. I don't have a conservancy for orange trees but I can do this:

 

Cool Camel

I really love this room. I adore it's soothing color scheme, comfy looking sofas and the light, airy-ness of it.

I Wanna Do This!!

I had never heard of "Flash Mob" before now I want to be apart of one. Especially if I get to rock gold lame M.C. Hammer pants. Woot! Woot!

Kate Winslet?

Is that you?

You look amazing, fresh, youthful... Loving the breakup makeover.
