Let's end the year with some Natalia

The City

I actually enjoyed it (but then again, I love The Hills. Laguna Beach, not so much). I'm looking forward to seeing Whitney at DVF, and Jay with his Australian accent is quite cute. I liked Whitney and Audrina's style the best on The Hills, so it will be fun to see her outfits as well.

You know when you hate a person, but you suspect your hate has more to do with jealousy than anything?

That's how I feel about Vanessa Hudgens.

70s Ishtyle

It's Christmas time, which usually means a new Shah Rukh Khan movie, yay! I adored Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, but it can't beat Om Shanti Om. These days I'm taking my make-up cues from Shanti, played by the gorgeous Deepika Padukone: perfectly arched eyebrows, winged eyeliner, peachy cheeks, and pink lips.

Fashion Model: Kristen Stewart

So I keep seeing pictures and videos of Kristen Stewart during the Twilight press tour, and I have to confess I've developed a huge girl crush. Kristen is awkward and uncomfortable and real in all her interviews, and she is just so beautiful. With her pale skin and dark hair she is the antithesis to the typical California starlet- and her legs! I adore her personal style as well; Kristen is the kind of girl who will wear the same three pairs of heels on the red carpet, but owns tons of Converses. I truly covet her dark glamour.

Oh, to be in an epic romance...

I watched Australia today, and it was such a beautiful movie. The continent is breathtaking, and Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman's chemistry is wow. Her equestrian outfits were so polished throughout the film.

Speaking of amazing chemistry, Kate Winslet looked stunning in Balmain at the premiere of Revolutionary Road with Leonardo DiCaprio. Has anyone read their interview in Entertainment Weekly? They are too adorable. Here's a classic Titanic picture:

Gran Torino Premiere

Angelina Jolie looks just radiant here. I love the outfit- especially how the pants wrinkle just right around her ankles.

R.I.P. Bettie Page

I would love to have that many pairs of dominatrix heels.

I've always been a Harry Potter kind of girl

I never understood the whole Twilight craze. My sister read the book, and told me how awful it was: poor writing, shallow plot, and one dimensional characters. When I finally read it, I had to concur- but there is something about it that pulls you in. For Book Club (yes, I am President, and yes, I'm a dork), we decided to discuss it, and whether you love it or hate it, you definitely have something to say about it. 11 of us went to watch it last night with the crazy fans, and it was such a fun experience! I think the movie is better than the book, though the book is kind of fun in a I-love-to-hate-it kind of way.


One thing that really annoys me in the novel is how plain Bella is supposed to be, yet every guy is in love with her. Now I'm going to have to hate myself because I developed a girl-crush on her as well. The movie has plenty of close-up shots, and Kristen Stewart is gorgeous with her pale skin and red-brown hair. And because I am a total image slut, her wardrobe charmed me. Bella's outfits were kind of grungy, but then she would wear sweet headbands and pretty turquoise bracelets with them.

There is no need to comment on how beautiful Robert Pattinson is, that's just a given.

OMG YAY!

Olga Kurylenko at the Amsterdam Quantum of Solace premiere

Olga Kurylenko looked so lovely in YSL at the Amsterdam premiere of the new James Bond movie. I was reminded of Jacqueline Kennedy...the shift, the color, the bow...

With DeGaulle at a dinner at Versailles, France, June 1, 1961.

Evening dress in shell pink silk-georgette chiffon embroidered with sequins, worn by Jacqueline Kennedy to dinner at the Schönbrunn Palace, Vienna, where she met Soviet premier Khrushchev on June 3, 1961. Definitely on the list of top five most gorgeous dresses I've ever seen.

Go Nast!

I am going to see Nastia and Shawn and Chelsi and everyone else at the Gymnasts on Tour Gala tomorrow! I can't wait- they are so talented and adorable!

I smell winter in the air

I want this Sonia by Sonia Rykiel sweater so bad...how sweet is it? I'm in the mood for sweaters now.
