TUESDAY TUNES: JENNY LEWIS
Posted - September 30th, 2008 - Uncategorized
Oh Jenny… what a long way you’ve come from being that cute little redheaded Wilderness Girl in Troop Beverly Hills (do you think she gets tired of people mentioning that?)
We loved her then, and we still love her now, whether she’s fronting for Rilo Kiley, mixing it up as Jenny Lewis with the Watson Twins, or – most recently – releasing her own solo album Acid Tongue which arrived last week.
We caught her show in LA which featured this duet, Carpetbaggers, with artist Jonathan Rice, and, while we’ve been more excited with some of her past endeavors, Jenny still brings it with her country/indie style and unique sound.

TOP TEN WINE BARS FOR FALL
Posted - September 24th, 2008 - Uncategorized
If fall weather makes you want to cozy into a wine bar and indulge in some innovative eats, then look no further than Bon Appetit’s Top 10 Wine Bars list.
Among them (from left to right), Bar Bambino in San Francisco, Tasca in Los Angeles, The Local Vine in Seattle, and TOPFLR in Atlanta.
And one other one that caught our attention…
Max’s Wine Dive . Anyone willing to actually claim themselves as a dive is cool by us… althought by the photo we’d say it’s a little higher end than the name would suggest.
Any other’s you’d recommend for the list?
TUESDAY TUNES: 4 RELEASES, 1 WINNER
Posted - September 23rd, 2008 - Uncategorized
Today’s new releases have four strong contenders for the coveted Tuesday Tunes spot, but we’ve picked one favorite to endorse (because our endorsement means soooo much…)
The nominees?
Kings of Leon
TV on the Radio
Cold War Kids
Thievery Corporation
And winner is…
After listening to the full album, we had to go with the versatile TV on the Radio and their new release Dear Science. Especially after hearing the sweet little track featured in this vintage Disney video. (No, that’s not their official video for the song. Just a little YouTube remix.)
Of course, the other bands are just as worth a listen… so, who would you have picked?
EMMY STYLE: OUR PICKS
Posted - September 22nd, 2008 - Uncategorized
The stars were out last night for the Emmy’s, flaunting some stunning styles – many from the recent Spring RTW shows. Most kept their styles sophisticated and stunning, but two trends stuck out on the red carpet.
Bright colors – epecially in yellows and blues – were the choice of many attendees, and they certainly rocked them well. Mariska Hargitay, in Carolina Herrera, and Emilie de Ravin, in Matthew Williamson.
On the other end of the color spectrum, subdued neutrals with incredible details like both these dresses from Elie Saab worn by Evangeline Lily and Marcia Cross were another popular choice.
Our favorites?
A tough call to make, but we really loved Sandra Oh in this beautifully textured Oscar de la Renta with lace detail, as well as the glowing Olivia Wilde in Reem Acra.
Who were your favorites?

An ode to NYC, romance, iconic traffic, and fashion… all in one.
Our coverage of the shows from NYC’s fashion week will continue, but in honor of this amazing city, our photo of the week comes from Rodney Smith who captured this shot for NY Magazine’s Fall Fashion Issue.
ALL IN THE DETAILS: CAROLINA HERRERA
Posted - September 18th, 2008 - Uncategorized
Leave it to Carolina Herrera to always come through with beautifully crafted details designed into her amazing gowns. When it came to this collection, the ruffles, embellishments and textures pulled the looks together and made them stand out, all at the same time…
Bright colors with ruffles and textures in black and white were a huge part of the collection.
Herrera paid special attention to the shoulders this season!
Things even got a little wild for the usually refined Herrera bright contrasts, and wild organza details. Want more? View the entire collection, details and all, right here.
FORTUNATO AT FASHION WEEK
Posted - September 17th, 2008 - Uncategorized
Photos of this little beauty have been floating around the fashion world since last week… and we’re not talking about the gorgeous gal … we’re talking about the necklace that has everyone buzzing!
Created by talented jewelry artist Lizzie Fortunato, this crafty piece is eye catching and natural all at the same time, which is why we’re loving it too!
She has a whole series of them in her fall collection. So perfect that we can’t pick which one we love the best!
