TODAY IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY FLORENCE + THE MACHINE

BEAUTIFUL.

OSCAR NIGHT

LAST NIGHT WAS OSCAR NIGHT, AND WHILE I PRETTY MUCH DIDN'T SEE A SINGLE MOVIE THIS YEAR, I STILL HAD A BLAST WATCHING THE DRESSES AND THE CRAZY SPEECHES. MOLLY AND NICO HAD US ALL OVER FOR CREPES - HAM, GRUYERE, SMOKED SALMON, CREME FRAICHE, MUSHROOMS, ONIONS AND THEN , BANANA, STRAWBERRIES, AND NUTELLA. DANA MADE ARTICHOKE DIP, AND SOMEONE BROUGHT CROP CUCUMBER VODKA, WHICH I DRANK ON THE ROCKS FOR HOURS. WHAT A LOVELY TIME WE HAD!

PENELOPE CRUZ, THE MOST BEAUTIFUL WOMAN IN THE WORLD, AND HE HUSBAND JAVIER BARDEM, THEN SEXIEST MAN ALIVE.

UMMMMMM.......I'M NOT SURE THAT I NEED TO SAY MORE THAN THAT. MULTI-COLORED STUDDED LEATHER BUSTIER WITH STRUCTURED SHOULDERS? I NEED TO FIND THE PERSON WHOSE BRAIN THIS THING CAME OUT OF AND MARRY HIM/HER. THESE PHOTOS ARE FROM VOGUE PARIS MARCH 2011 - SOME VICTORIA'S SECRET MODELS PHOTOGRAPHED BY INEZ AND VINOODH.

BY THE WAY, THAT'S WHAT I WISH MY HAIR LOOKED LIKE. WELL AND ALSO LIKE THIS PIC, WHICH IS THE EXACT ONE I SHOWED MY HAIRDRESSER WITH THE VERBAL DESCRIPTION: "I WANNA LOOK LIKE I SHOULD BE ON A POSTER, SITTING ON THE HOOD OF A RED CORVETTE, WITH A WET WIFE-BEATER ON." OH LORD I'M CLASSLESS.

PETIT POURS

I'M GOING TO VENTURE TO SAY THAT THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SIGHTS I'VE EVER LAID EYES ON. I'VE NEVER SEEN PASTRY APPROACHED IN THIS WAY! THEY LOOK LIKE LITTLE SQUARES OF WOOD WITH A RAINBOW OF PAINT POURED OVER THEM. I AM SO INSPIRED!

I BE BACK

AFTER A PROLONGED HIATUS FROM BLOGGING, I AM BACK. YES, BELIEVE IT. AND DON'T ASK ME WHAT I WAS DOING ALL THIS TIME THAT I COULDN'T BLOG, BECAUSE I CAN'T REMEMBER. DRINKING CHAMPAGNE? OH YES, THAT WAS IT.

I WANT TO SHARE WITH YOU MY CURRENT MUSICAL OBSESSION: BIG JET PLANE BY ANGUS AND JULIA STONE. I HAVE BEEN QUITE LITERALLY LISTENING TO IT ON LOOP IT IS SO BEAUTIFUL. I'M ALSO DEVELOPING A LITTLE CRUSH ON ANGUS. HE REMINDS ME OF THE DRUMMER GUY FROM THAT FRENCH FILM WHEN THE CAT'S AWAY. ALTHOUGH ACTUALLY I DIDN'T THINK THAT GUY WAS HOT, SO I DON'T KNOW. REGARDLESS, I'M DIGGING HIM AND THIS SONG BIG TIME.

THIS ISN'T MY FAVORITE VIDEO, BUT I COULDN'T EMBED THE OFFICIAL VIDEO FOR YOU. LAME. BUT THE LINK TO THE REAL (AND AMAZING) VIDEO IS HERE: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFTvbcNhEgc
