Love, love, love!! Julianne Moore spotted in Lanvin at the London Film Festival. Just can't believe she went with the bare-arm vs. that amazing draped sleeve! Plus, her hair should have been up. But she picked the dress; that's what counts! :)
I'm on a color-block streak right now, and this dress nailed it!! Love the two-faced aspect, as well. Beautiful and fun.
Future fashion inspiration right there, ladies!
I was teaching the concept of "blessings over food" with my Hebrew School class (3rd graders), and decided to do a little project to culminate the discussion of how special and significant natural sustenance is. Want to rev-up the planting process a bit? Terra-cotta planters + chalkboard spray-paint =
The kids really enjoyed decorating their planters with the blessing and all different sorts of vegetables and herb (we planted parsley - it grows in cooler weather) illustrations. This is such a great way to spruce up your kitchen window-sill (who doesn't want to cook with fresh herbs always on hand?), and a super-cute way to label and mark different species...
Watched Amélie last night, and I'm now dreaming of taking a holiday in Paris..... I'm currently loving Paris versus New York, a artistic blog by Parisian graphic-designer Vahram Muratyan. These humorous comparisons would make for lovely art in guest room/back house...
Been seeing a sneaker trend... not so stinky after all!

I saw this photo while leafing through this months Dwell magazine, and can't get over it. How ingenius to plant a "play thing" smack in middle of the living room, where everyone can see it! I think it really minimizes the play-time factor while bumping up the fluidity of a adult/child home, by incorporating some (preferably beatific, or at least well done) "toys" into the everyday layout and decor. Gives me so many wonderful ideas....
This photo is of the Orpilla/Alexander living room, new residents who moved into a 1972 home built by David Boone in Orinda, CA. You can read more about the project/home, here.
