Table Etiquette In this nutty, fast-paced digital age it seems as though table manners have taken quite a turn. Case in point: last weekend, we had a dinner party and when we sat down, the HOTY announced: “Would everyone please put all phones and electronics on vibrate?” Yes, he actually said that. I was gobsmacked… Continue reading Table Etiquette

Kate Winslet in Vogue
Kate Winslet in Vogue I’m super excited for the November issue of Vogue magazine, especially with a profile on Kate Winselt. From the moment I saw her in Titanic, I was crazy about her! In fact, I’m still kvelling (& crying!) over that movie! She has two new movies coming out as well as some Silver… Continue reading Kate Winslet in Vogue
Vogue and Carey Mulligan
This spring, I’m super excited about the soon-to-be-released 3-D film, The Great Gatsby. I mean, really, how cool is it that it is in 3-D? Vogue is also clearly looking forward to the film as well because they put Carey Mulligan, one of the film’s esteemed stars, on the cover of the May Issue. In the… Continue reading Vogue and Carey Mulligan
Spring Fashion Magazines
So so so excited for the ginormous spring fashion books to arrive on the newsstands. Though these are the ones that are really heavy and awkward and hard to carry, I love-love-love them. I read them methodically. First, I skim every page. Even if I want to read an article, I don’t. I keep going. Only… Continue reading Spring Fashion Magazines
Graceful Grace
As I’ve mentioned a few times, I am super duper excited to get my hands on Grace Coddington’s upcoming memoir (to be released in November). As Vogue’s Creative Director, she is a force. Anna Wintour has described Grace as the “heart and soul of the magazine.” Her vision and talent extends far beyond the pages of the… Continue reading Graceful Grace
Fall Film Excitement
As the October issue of Vogue hits the newsstands, I’m reminded of how excited the HOTY and I get about fall films. October seems to begin the time of the year when movies get really good, if not GREAT! This fall, the film Anna Karenina is coming to theaters. I’m sooooo excited about it! Between the… Continue reading Fall Film Excitement
How Fun Does This Look?
In keeping with today’s summertime theme, I was delighted to see the Vogue feature on the Richards Family in Turks and Caicos. The Richards (as in Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones) family always amazes me. The fact that they have remained so closely in tact for decades (despite the sex, drugs and rock and roll… Continue reading How Fun Does This Look?
Happy 4th of July…Through the Decades
In case you haven’t noticed, I love-love-love the 4th of July! It’s an easy, relaxed, pressure-free (i.e., NO GIFTS!) holiday. The decor is festive but not frivolous (though don’t get me wrong, I do love my frivolity!). The food is fresh and delectable. Triple Silver Lining. I also happen to think that the 4th of… Continue reading Happy 4th of July…Through the Decades
Jason Wu Love
Even before Michelle Obama danced onto the world stage as the First Lady in a Jason Wu gown, I was smitten with him. I’ve written about him before and continue to be nuts about him. So, you can imagine my excitement when I saw this Vogue feature highlighting his studio in New York. I’m absolutely… Continue reading Jason Wu Love
Emma in Vogue
I’m super excited to see Emma Stone on the cover of the July issue of Vogue. How fun! Who on earth didn’t fall in love with her in The Help? I mean, really. She was so adorable as a southern society girl who returns from college determined to become a writer, but turns her small Mississippi… Continue reading Emma in Vogue
