in the room:

i am definitely am filing this away for future days - this revamp is absolutely fabulous & seems fairly do-able. so if i ever have a home with a chandelier [yes, please], i'll have to paint it to match!

idea: initial hooks

i'm thinking initial hooks would work well in my crowded apartment. we'd just need to hang up a K, L, & A : one for each of us!

i also love this idea for a house full of children :)

quotation: friendship by camus

"Ne marche pas devant moi, je ne suivrai peut-être pas.

Ne marche pas derrière moi, je ne te guiderai peut-être pas.

Marche juste à côté de moi et sois mon ami."

translation:

"Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow.

Don't walk behind me, I may not lead.

Just walk beside me and be my friend."

[albert camus]

first found on cote provence

celeb style: 2010 emmys

note: this is not a collection of best/worst dressed at the emmys. although i do love those articles [and have attached links to many of them at the end of this post], i would rather use this opportunity to just highlight the dresses worn which i personally find the most beautiful, interesting, & all-in-all pretty. i am also withholding judgement in regards to hair/makeup choices, as well as the so-called appropriateness of the dress for this occasion. instead, i invite you to just revel in the beauty that is formalwear fashion. let's begin! :

all-around faves:

so many of my fave TV actresses really rocked the red carpet!

jenna fischer [versace], jessalyn gilsig [nicole miller]

emily deschanel [max azria atelier], mariska hargitay [vera wang]

i would give the best look award to:

jayma mays

her navy blue burberry prorsum dress not only hugs her body perfectly, but also compliments her gorgeous red hair -- it's also great to see her hair down & with body, considering her TV alter-ego always has it pinned back or stick-straight with just a flip on the end! aside from the color, the dress is honestly just stunning.

zac posen lovelies:

cheryl hines & olivia munn

black beauties:

kelly osbourne [tony ward], angela kinsey [romona keveza],

eva longoria parker [robert rodriguez], heidi klum [marchesa]

sexy & sparkly:

claire danes [armani prive], heather morris [ina soltani]

maria menounos [ralph & russo custom couture]

grecian godesses:

amber riley [melissa masse], sarah hyland [pamella roland]

rose byrne [gucci], kim kardashian [marchesa resort 2011]

it was also great to see dianna aragon rocking the carolina herrara resort 2011 again :

Oscar

Last week on The Rachel Zoe Project, Brad compared being at Oscar's show to being in Paris... which is why I am more than honored to be in attendance this year. Earlier this year I got to visit the lovely people at the ODLR offices and saw some of the gowns in person, and I will tell you this- no one does it like Oscar de la Renta.
