Now that I'm in weekend mode, I must divulge a bit about my hotly anticipated New Year's vacation to Thailand. If you desire a foreign land with great food, awesome beaches, wonderful scuba diving and snorkeling, diverse fellow tourists, killer nightlife, and — of course — fun shopping, add Thailand to your vacation queue. My friend and I spent a good 12 days there, mostly island hopping, and we both plan to go back.
One of my favorite veg-out bands is Air; even the name denotes a mellow vibe. After a whirlwind week back in the office, by Thursday I needed to zone out, and I remembered the breezy release of Air. Kick back and enjoy this comical, creative, watercolored adventure. Weather is here, wish you were beautiful . . .
Awards season is upon us — the Motion Pictures Awards provided yet another reason for Hollywood ladies to dress up. Susan Sarandon's girl Eva Amurri opted for a simple berry color dress; Anne Hathaway looked feathery in Chanel; Amy Adams showed some shoulder in Giambattista Valli; Salma Hayek did ombre in Yves Saint Laurent; and Heather Graham lit up the carpet in a red halter maxi. Each stayed true to her style, but which Motion Pictures look dazzled the most?
Just looking at this Bright Blue Suede Envelope Clutch makes me feel electric. Now imagine carrying it! Clutches will never get tiresome, so feel free to add this to your collection. I like that it's envelope-style and slightly oversized. With this in your hand, you're almost guaranteed to get attention.
The current bidding price is at $28 and the auction ends on Sunday, Jan. 18. Good luck and happy bidding!
Quick lesson: A dashiki is a garment widely worn in West Africa. That said, how do you feel about this Mara Hoffman Chiffon Dashiki ($319) hitting mass market? I love the print, but the loose cut and wide front slit seems unflattering. Do you think Mara translated this ethnic piece well or should she go back to the drawing board?
Singer and actress Selena Gomez posed for pictures at the 2009 American Music Awards with a pretty pink smile on her face. She took advantage of the occasion and went glam; wearing a Talbot Runhof sequin dress with black strappy heels.
