Hipstamatic: Petit-Déjeuner at "Little Next Door"
One of my favorite French cafes in Los Angeles is "Little Next Door" which is next to a French restaurant called "Next Door" (haven't been there yet). I absolutely love this cafe, it's French and chic without being pretentious. The food is excellent, the ambiance lovely, and it's also a great place to people watch. And bonus points, one of my favorite vintage shops (Polka Dots & Moonbeams) is just down the street!
#ShopbopSephoraLaunch
We all know how horrific the weather has been for the past couple of days and because of that fact we were stuck in Brooklyn and unable to attend the Shopbop Sephora Launch Party which was Tuesday December 28, 2010 at the Sephora in Times Square. The Sephora Collection Color Play 5 in 1 Limited-Edition Palette was the MAIN EVENT for the night. This Palette is inspired by Shopbops "Faces of Fashion" editorial Look Book.
Just like a sea of colors. Don't get overwhelmed; because of the portable compact it comes with you can simply choose one of the five color palettes and take it to go...definitely perfect for busy city girls on the move. Each Palette has 10 eye shadows, 2 lip colors and 1 blush. The five color stories correspond to five iconic figures in fashion:THE LADY
Angelic Boudoir ( nudes, sands, with a touch of bright blue and fuchsia)
FEMME FATALEBlack is the New Black ( black smoky eyes)
JET-SET BOHEMIANBoho Bombshell (dark blues, warm taupes, warm golds)
CLASSIC PREPClassics Never Die ( brown smoky eyes)
LONDON MODA Nod to Mod ( bright blues, greens, pink, purples)
Ladies you won't even break the bank with this purchase, the value of this product is $125 but GUESS WHAT, the retail value is just $30. How great is that :). It's been available at Sephora since the 26th of December and the "Faces of Fashion" look book is available today December 29th on shopbop.com.

Milan Men’s Fashion Week 2011 has given way to new mens fashion trends that are unusual and very different. So Girls, what’s your take on these spring mens fashion trends. Are they among list of mens fashion that women hate just like some women fashion trends that mens hate or among promising men’s fashion trends.
Vintage Streetstyle | Real Style + Fashions from the 1920s
You have to wonder, what was she thinking when this moment was captured on film? A woman of obvious beauty and wealth posed inside a car in the 1920s. Where is she going? What is her name? Why did she choose to wear what she's wearing?
These are the thoughts that run through my mind when perousing vintage photographs. Every one of them has a story to tell.
I've been on a bit 1920s/1930s kick lately (Boardwalk Empire...slowly getting through all the episodes during break). I hope you enjoy these lovely photos! Click on them for credit and larger versions!
Transparent Desktops
Have you ever been watching Only Fools And Horses show? Can you remember Del Boy's famous sentence "Bloody Hell"? Well I refreshed my memory on that one when I saw these things; it was the first thing that came out of my mouth "Bloody hell, how did they do this!?" Then all sorts of things started to flow around my head - "Could it be true? Can they really somehow make those screens transparent? If so, could it be that these computers are the most expensive in the world?" Hell no.
