The Reader

Last night I finally went to see Kate Winslet in The Reader, WOW I was blown away. I won't get too much into the plot in case some people haven't seen it (and you should!) but it was an amazing movie.

Last night was also the very first time that I have gone to a movie by myself. This may not seem like a big thing but to me it was. Honestly, I enjoyed it too. I went to The Paris Theatre, which happens to be right down the block from my new apartment. The Paris is on old school theatre, with a mezzanine seating level. When you walk in the screen is covered in thick velvet curtains that are drawn back just as the movie is starting. It was nice to watch a movie in this retro setting, instead of in one of those megaplex cinema places on the highway.

Scout Sunday/Delayed

The Scout-ster

So for a while now I have been wanting to start a feature called "Scout Sunday" where I post a picture of my adorable puppy every Sunday. This I have to say is taken directly from my favorite blogger Melissa C. Morris (link to her blog at the bottom of the page) who features her adorable little Italian Greyhound Monty on her blog every Monday. So thank you, thank you Melissa for your inspiration!

This is a picture of Scout taken over the Summer...he looks so adult here, and it kind of looks like a mug shot. Much cuter pictures to follow....

Blue Print Cleanse

So I have decided to do a three day Blue Print Cleanse. The company has been getting a great deal of press lately and I thought I would check it out....I'll keep you posted!

Weekly Bag/Show Some Skin

Brilliant Croc Framed Satchel

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOK! How gorgeous is this bag. The color is perfect for those of you who love neon and all things green (me!!) The price point is not exactly a steal, especially in these times...but a girl can dream right? The scales on the croc skin are just beautiful, and if you do feel the need to invest in such a bag, Nancy Gonzalez is the way to go (aside from hermes of course)

To Purchase:

Neiman Marcus

Carine Roitfeld

If I could be one person in the world other than myself it would be Carine Roitfeld, editrix of Paris Vogue. Carine, unlike Anna, does not have to pander to the American fashion masses. French Vogue has a much smaller circulation and Carine has never to "dull down" her fashion spreads for the faint of heart. What you find on the pages of French Vogue (bondage, full frontal nudity) is not what you will find in American Vogue (how do dress recession chic) One has to admire Carine's edgier and artistic style, and the fact that she doesn't sacrifice it to sell more magazines.

Aside from her fabulous fashion spreads, she has of course a fabulous fashion sense. She is extremely minimalistic, often found wearing black with exotic furs (like the white Mongolian shag coat she has been sporting recently) She looks best in Balenciaga, and broad shoulders, straps, hardware, skin tight, are all words that come to mind when I think of Carine. Bottom line, the woman is just sex. What do you think!?!?
