This week's Tweet of the Week is not just one tweet, but a series of Jeanne Beker tweets that I followed this morning while setting up my own blogger/editor pitching day. Come along...

Getting set to do some high flying with Chanel. Judging from the coveted invite, which features a jet window, it's an airplane themed show.

Feel like I'm in my usual plane habitat, but we're on the ground at Grand Palais in an AMAZING jet "set" created by Lagerfeld for Chanel.

Judging from this windswept updo, this Chanel couture collection is inspired by FLIGHT! yfrog.com/nwfwjffj

There's even a trolley with champagne, juice, or water for all of us first-class "passengers".... yfrog.com/ob17878633j

Fantasy of fashion is what keeps me in the game after 26 yrs. THIS is what it's all about! Karl/Chanel: Thanks for all the theatre!!

Thank YOU Jeanne Baker for taking us all along!

Golden Globes 2012

The Red Carpet Season begins!

This Golden Globe Red Carpet Season was about

Shape, Nude, and Lace.

The Blushing Nudes

Piper Perabo
The first glimpses of this voluminous see-through skirt swishing through the crowd, made me very concerned, but seeing it full on, I must say...... it grew on me. Maybe it was to big for the event, or for her. Something about it was off, and something about it was absolutely right.

Amy Poehler in Naeem Khan,.... The neck is a little to high and I just want to nip her waist in a little.... Pretty.

And who did it best? Diane Lane in Reem Acra.

Shape

Nicole Kidman was snatched into a little Versace number that took her body from model thin to va va va voom!


Pic - Fab Sugar

Sophia Vergara... did we really expect her to be in anything that wasn't body conscious? If it ain't broke....

Pic - Just Jared

Reese Witherspoon in Zac Posen... Jessica Rabbit has nothing on you.

Pic - MTV

Lace

Lea Michele in Marchesa..... perfect for the Ice Capades or Cirqu du Soleil .... not for the Golden Globes.

Pic - US Magazin

Sarah Hyland in vintage Dolce and Gabbana! Fabu!!!

Pic - US Magazine

Meryl Streep, one of the most prolific actors of our time.... looks like she's auditioning for a role as Ma Barker with those lace cut-outs ** shaking my head** goes to show talent trumps style.

Pic - Just Jared

Best Dressed

Tilda Swinton! In Haider Ackermann of course..... Yes it was a little reminescent of the Thin White Duke, but it was the right color, and style on the right girl.

Glory!

Kelly Wearstler

noreply@blogger.com (STyle SHepherd) — Thu, 29 Dec 2011 02:57:00 +0000

Just moved into an apartment in a big old West Philadelphia house. So..... I've been reading every interior design/retail home catalog that I can get my hands on and every spare moment spent watching HGTV.

How to mix my very "modern/abstract with a little vintage" style with my Honey's style (?) and be baby user friendly. That's my problem.

His style? "Does it all match (MATCHING FURNITURE SETS!!!!! Can you imagine?), is it comfortable and fit in front of the TV.

AND I need to decorate around the endless things that need to be fixed/renovated in an old house, and the quirky set up of rooms. I shouldn't even say I'm having a problem because I LOVE this kind of challenge. There's something to be said about going into a home that's move in ready, brand new appliances, and Feng shui-d within an inch of its life.... You just move your stuff in and luxuriate. But when you have to decorate within/around a long hallway, a free floating office space, and a Kitchen that's part of said hallway you've got to get your style mojo revved up. Challenge for 2012! ..... create a home that makes all of us happy!!!

** Still looking for an interesting desk and storage for my office ... thinking about using a traditional writing desk with a modern lucite chair... We'll see, because I really like the pop of color with the mirrored wall in the above pic. If you have any suggestions/images to share please comment **

I gave you all that background, to say Kelly Wearstler is a Super Hero! From her interiors to jewelry, I'm so inspired by the freedom in her design.... I LOVE a kind of Calvin Klein minimalism, but Kelly makes me want to pull out all my wacky little chachkies and create some magic. By the way, all minimalists have a dirty little secret... we have a closet/drawer/box in the attic marked 'one day' with very over the top non-minimalist things.

** I had a sparkly pink flamingo for years, that I thought I could whip into a focal point 'one day'... finally donated the ugly little thing to our local thrift store... hopefully it found a good home. **

Anyway... a few of my fave Kelly Wearstler looks.....

All I want for Christmas....

noreply@blogger.com (STyle SHepherd) — Sun, 25 Dec 2011 14:14:00 +0000

...... is to sit on the couch in my coziest slippers and pajamas with steaming hot apple cider, and flip through my back issues of Vogue Magazine..... and Unzipped, The September Issue, Sex and the City, Funny Face and Valentino: The Last Emperor playing on an endless loop.

Merry Christmas!

Jimmy Choo on Vogue TV

One of my absolute favorite things to do is to cuddle up with a hot tea, (or in the case of this season, a hot apple cider) and the new issue of Vogue Magazine.... but that's a rare treat. When I really need a fashion fix I surf on over to....

Thursday's thing I can not live without...

noreply@blogger.com (STyle SHepherd) — Thu, 27 Oct 2011 23:42:00 +0000

There are no words to describe the powerful feeling of holding your baby for the first time.
.... but life doesn't give us the luxury of holding them forever.... There is sleep to be had, meals to eat, and thank you cards to write. So, the Fisher-Price Zen Collection Cradle Swing is this 'Thursday's thing I can not live without'. Because when I have to use my arms to do something other than hold my Little Sugah Plum, this is the place he is most happy. I highly recommend it!

Anthropologie ... so charming!

~Bill Cunningham

I know, I know, this movie has been out forever! ... And I really wanted to see it with fellow fashion blogger Scorpion Disco, but we couldn't work out the scheduling.
Anywhoooo... thanks to this lovely rainy afternoon, I've seen it! And I'm so inspired by Bill Cunningham's passion and tenacity. It makes me want to step up my game.... and isn't that what art is supposed to do? Inspire?
