Lucky's Girl Crushes

I have many girl crushes - which I'm sure I'll describe at a later date, and in much greater detail - but Lucky has compiled a list of their very own. The usual suspects were listed there, but I thought these photographs of Brigitte Bardot, Claudia Schiffer, and Kate Moss were particularly beautiful too.

The Summer of Fashion

The Richard Avedon retrospective is soon to open at the International Center of Photography in Manhattan. It's will definitely be a must-see, and this has been a summer of fashion after the "Model as Muse" exhibit debuted at the Met as well. Next up is The September Issue, premiering in theaters late September. You can expect to find me at any of these events

Shoes as Art

I would like to direct your attention to the right half of this photograph (by Petra Bindel), and particularly to the lower quadrant. That shoe bureau needs to happen in my new apartment. Exactly like that, in black, with a glass front, and tons of my adorable shoes lining the entire thing.

Peggy Guggenheim's Venetian Adventures

The September 2009 issue of Harper's Bazaar is the best issue of a magazine I've ever look at period - and I've read thousands of magazines. This particular spread is based on Peggy Guggenheim and her fantastical life in Venice - the palazzo and world-class art collection included.

This one was shot by Karl Lagerfeld and styled by his own muse Amanda Harlech and Felipe Mendes, modeled by Lara Stone (!)

Blushing Pink

Recently I've found myself pulling tons of glamorous, romantic photos with a pale pink color scheme. Just a few I've found floating around, and that I love. . .

Congratulations!

A belated congratulation to my Murf, who just landed a plum broadcast job in Marquette, Michigan. Wonderful things to come, I'm sure, and a great start to an undoubtedly successful career.

I'll miss you dearly but can't wait to visit

"I just, I don't like being away from you. It stings."

Saw (500) Days of Summer, became promptly obsessed after the opening credits. Deepened crushes on both Zooey Deschanel and Joseph Gordon-Levitt. "Mehr-ed" out loud and downloaded the soundtrack immediately. 

A must see.

McLovin

Rachel McAdam is one of my favorite young ladies of Hollywood. Yes, this dress it a bit daring, but I think it's amazing. Pucci Resort 2010, I don't know that it's appropriate for a Time Traveler's Wife premier but I suppose I'd be wear Pucci like this all around town

Don and Betty's Last Paradise

Shot by Annie Leibovitz in Nassau, the Bahamas, April 2009 for the September issue of Vanity Fair. The accompanying article, written by deputy editor Bruce Handy, is thorough and interesting if you have the time

So Ill

I figure if I had a bed like this I would only be half as miserable as I am due to my (evidently) incredibly poor health. Well, and it would just be fun

Wild Things

I have nothing to add to this. . . stunning, original, and super sleek
