Golden Globes Re-Cap 2012

Awards Season has officially begun with the  

Golden Globes kick off

I love seeing the start of fashion trends

and to see the colors that 

THE top stylists in the world have selected

Julianne Marguiles in Purple...

I LOVE her earrings- a great balance

INSTYLE

Shades of lavendar seemed to be a top color choice...

IMAGE

There were many dresses in skin toned hues

IMAGE

IMAGE

A huge trend on the carpet was the Mermaid Silhouette 

Something that we saw last year as well

(my daughter would be THRILLED)
I am dying to do a window treatment that has a lead edge with all of
those folds and raw edges 

IMAGE

I LOVED the back of this dress- the front not so much...

Salma looked STUNNING!!  And I LOVE the Cleopatra/Ancient

Egyptian influence....

Count Down to the SAG Awards....

Obsessed

My husband recorded this documentary several weeks back and we finally had the time to watch it from start to finish the other night

and NOW it has become my new late night obsession 

The Last Waltz 

 is a documentary of 

The Band 

and their last concert together -which was a seated dinner 

in San Francisco on Thanksgiving Day 1976

Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton and Van Morrison 

were just a few of the cameo appearances...

(I don't know if I will ever be able to listen to another Van Morrison song the same way after seeing his performance- NOT what I was expecting-think Elton John and a very bad polyester leisure suit) 

Martin Scorsese directed the piece

 and the quality of the film is unbelievable.

 I didn't realize- until seeing this documentary- what amazing songwriters and performers

 The Band 

were and I can't believe that most of them were in their early 30's at the time of filming and that they had been together for over 16 years....their talent is overwhelming to watch

YOU HAVE TO SEE IT

Moroccan Style

I can't get enough of these 

Moroccan 

influenced designs....

I need a nook to create this in!

IMAGE

I LOVE the Lines of These Tables....

This hand screened fabric has a Moroccan twist!



Would be AMAZING as kitchen pendants.....

Available through RWID



HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!

Is This Bad?

I can't decide....

Tina may be my idol!

Faberge

30 years ago my grandmother took me 

to see the collection of Faberge
at the 
VMFA

That is where my obsession of Faberge and the last 

Imperial Family of Russia started 

 Every time I go to the

Virginia Museum of Fine Arts

I can't believe that I am still in Richmond

and that I am not spending more time there

(one of my New Year's Resolutions!)  

I took my daughter last week to see it...
I could have stayed there for hours and may have to go back alone


Here are a few of my favorites ....

The last Imperial Family of Russia

and if you have time you need to swing by and see this 
life size sperm whale made of felt by
Tristin Lowe

my daughter had to walk around it a million times and go see it over and over during our visit there...very cool!
