O Christmas Tree

                             Jackie Kennedy's lovely painting "The Blue Room Christmas Tree", 1961

I am off to my Mom's house for Christmas festivities. I can not wait to celebrate with my family and friends. I hope that everyone will have wonderful and happy holiday.

Pillow Talk

 

One-of-a-kind embroidered pillows by August Morgon. The one I like is sold out, but there are a few still available at bird. 

Meow...Slurp!

I am feeling a little more myself today and managed to make a delicious cappuccino. All thanks to a generous friend who picked up a bag of Intelligentsia's Black Cat espresso for me. Yum!

Being that I am sick at the moment online Christmas shopping is proving to be the most efficient and relaxing.

Weekend Away

I took a solo trip this weekend and stayed with my BF. Good times! We spent Saturday at her studio and I am in love with her new work. Pretty much ate the best Persian, Greek, Mexican food all weekend...lets just say I am ready to hibernate for the rest of the week. Had Tahdig for the first time...my new favorite rice dish!

Mayle in LA

A rare glimpse of Jane Mayle. Isn't Jane's jumper über chic?! Jacinda Barrett looks amazing in Mayle.

I have a huge ballet obsession, and with the Nutcracker and Black Swan to watch in the same month what better way to celebrate the season with a little tulle. I was happy to see that Opening Ceremony now carries Repetto Tutus! I can only imagine a little impromptu ballet dancing with my daughter in matching tutus...she will flip out!

Past Present

 

Jeffrey Monteiro's blouse from his Spring 2011 collection is reminiscent of the Clothilde, n'est-ce pas?
Also, I had no idea he was the newest design director for Bill Blass. I did not even realize the Bill Blass Label was still in existence, until I read about it here and here last night.

       

The Bill Blass Dress is from the Spring 2011 collection (Monteiro's second collection with BB). It reminds me of the Eniko dress, down to the styling of the outfit.
