Boardwalk Empire...new favorite show
I watched the first episode and wasn’t really into it so stopped it about 40 minutes in. But about a week ago a friend of my husband’s said the show is really, really good but starts out slow. So we gave it another shot and I’m so glad I did. It’s got a really strong plot line, characters and acting. And part of what drew me in initially is that it’s set in the...

Repost: Doing Good about Bad Things Part 2
This is a repost from my personal/private blog - initial written on March 6, 2010
Be more conscious of purchasing clothing - how much I really need/want and where it’s manufactured – and raise awareness of this to others I’ve been watching a lot of TV. I mean A LOT of TV. Some bad, but mostly really good. Like this week, we started watching the series on Planet Green called “Blood,...

'Made in Italy'...what it really means
Last year, I watched this mini series called ‘Blood, Sweat and T-shirts’ (I blogged about it on my personal blog so I’ll repost here) and it was eye-opening to clothing manufacturing. While I have major concerns about the quality of conditions for workers and how under paid they are, I understood how complex the problem was. First off, there are almost no brands/labels that only...

The Walking Dead? Yes, please
Ok, I wasn’t so sure about AMC’s new show The Walking Dead, but the idea of premiering it on Halloween was smart. I was in the mood for something creepy and they delivered. At first, I thought - how far can they go with this plot, but by the end I understood there’s a lot they can do. It’s the idea of trying to rebuild/maintain a civilization amongst flesh eating zombies....

Excited about fashion again
I was sort of bored for awhile, but I’m getting inspired again. A few of the things I’m loving…
JCrew has some of the funnest tights for winter - great patterns and designs that give you the legging look, but with a bit more personality. Also, gives you a broader range of colors. I love my black leggings, but wish they also came in other colors - specifically grey and white.

Why do we glamorize addicts?
I’m thoroughly pissed with Vanity Fair this month. They posted a 12 photo spread online of Lindsay Lohan who also “graces” the cover of the print edition, and I haven’t opened my subscription yet, but I imagine the spread in there will be extensive too. And they posted a video interview online as well. The girl has serious addiction problems and I’m not saying she...

Great new show...Rubicon
I’m a bit of a TV junkie, I’ll admit it. In addition to the obvious favorites like True Blood and Mad Men, one of the best new shows is Rubicon. It’s super intriguing and very smart. I’m growing attached to the characters and the storyline. I definitely recomend watching it.
This season’s America’s Next Top Model looks great too so far - love that they win the...

give me good face
I’m finally catching up on fashion and beauty - so the things I’d like to share are my new loves. I am loving Nars blush in Desire and Dior Ultra Gloss in Flash right now. They are fresh for the summer and feel amazing on. The blush has a really soft powder feel and intense color you can tone up or down. The gloss has a rich hue and isn’t sticky.
I’m sort of uninspired by...

Leggings galore, about to hit stores
I bought this fabulous silk summer dress from Patterson J. Kincaid at the Nordstrom anniversary sale and I wanted to wear some thin white leggings with it. Unfortunately, white leggings are no where to be found. But what I learned is that fall will be all about leggings. Fall shipments start coming in around mid-August, so be prepared!

Must read book - Deluxe: How Luxury Lost its...
I’m obsessed with this book, Deluxe by Dana Thomas. I’m half way through and I’ve deemed it as an all time favorite read. Recommended by my friend Todd, the short of it is about how the luxury, couture fashion industry has changed to sell to mass consumers, versus just a high-end clientele, and how that adaption has devalued luxury goods.
That’s how the book is...

So I’m watching “The Reader” the other day and my mom comes in near the end and sees the main character walking towards an old woman in what could be an old folks home. She asks, “what are you watching?” I respond, “The Reader.” She says, “oh, is this about a guy who likes to read to old people?” Moms….
So I loved the movie. It deals...

Iconoclasts = Enlightened Celebrity TV
Iconoclasts is a show on the Sundance Channel. It’s one of the best shows on TV. Ie now seen every episode in the 4 seasons. It pairs two celebrities in different genres and follows them for a few days. The two ”icons” essentially interview each other on their life, career, passions and what helps them key balance or find success. What I love about it is it takes you deeper...

Thoughts on Lymelife
I watched Lymelife movie a few days ago - it’s not your mainstream movie, but it’s got great characters, emotional appeal, family dysfunction and it’s got Alec Baldwin so you really can’t go wrong. I definitely recommend it for those who like independent movies - i.e. not your traditional story tale and happy endings.

WatchLa Roux, “I’m Not Your Toy” - this pop artist from France is one of my new favorites. You may have to give her a few listens before you learn to appreciate it. The video is unique and the whole album is an amazing pop album. Good listens are “Cover my Eyes” and Bulletproof.”
I heart Vanity Fair
Reblogged from Plan. Pitch. Print. my other blog…
I finally got some time to catch up on some back issue reading in Vanity Fair. I am now current and it just reminds me why this is one of the few magazines I subscribe to. They have some of the best articles that can keep you knowledgeable on world affairs, celebrity, politics, finance, and of course, the Kennedys and New York society. A...
