Dave Matthews Band - 2010 GRAMMY Performance

Sadly, Dave Matthews Band didn't win the Grammy for Rock Album or Album of the year. Oh, well. I still LOVE them.

Doppelgänger

Everyone is posting their look-alike celebrities on facebook. Instead, I figured I will share some of the ones people tell me I look alike.

Rachelle Lefevre from Twilight.

Deborah Ann Woll from True Blood.
what do you all think? Any other suggestions.

full of pretty things...

A blog of pretty pictures....Fairy Tale Diaries.

Holy Cuteness

I would love to carry my Mac around in this adorable Rebecca Minkoff bag. It is water resistant too. It says, "perfect for a rainy day or a little protect from any other happy hour splashes".

Cat Bird


Isn't this the cutest little diamond ring? Just perfect.
Or this little beauty...

I am feeling very uninspired and tired today. No fun.
I do love this picture though. Such gorgeous lamps! via.

Summer Tour

Dave Matthews Band just announced their summer tour. They are always at the Gorge labor day weekend for 3 days so I wasn't surprised but the announcement makes me so excited. Ben Harper is opening at the Gorge (which will be good) but I wish it could be Amos Lee or Brett Dennen. Check it out here.

Lucky Girl

I would like to trade places with Anna Paquin. Do I serioulsy have to wait until the summer for new True Blood? ugh.
Alexander Skarsgard is so good looking.

Blue Valentine

I haven't heard too much about Blue Valentine or when it is going to be released; but, I love Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams. The people at Sundance seemed to loved the movie so I am looking forward to its release.
I am also looking forward to the Release of Howl that stars James Franco, Jon Hamm, and Mary-Louise Parker.

Oh, Eddie

I am sure by now you have already checked out (and hopefully voted) for the Big Window Challenge. These photos are some of the details of the window designed by the ever so fabulous Eddie Ross. He is designing for Elle Decor. Bloomingdale's and Apartment Therapy are the other two participants. Apartment Therapy's window is pretty good and Bloomingdale's bores me. Of course, Eddie Ross has the most over the top, detailed, and fabulous window. Vote here. Check out more of the windows here. Gorgeous pictures from the fabulous Coco + Kelley. via.

Tony Lucca
Curtis Peoples
Keaton Simons
Sun Domingo
Matt Duke
The Bridges
and even more to be announced!

yeah, it sounds wonderful.
more details here.

I already have this Dave Matthews Band decal on my cute little car.

And once I go to my concert (with 4th row tickets) I will soon have this wonderful black decal.

I am speechless (that doesn't happen often). These are amazing!!! via. I would like to be wearing this outfit with the shoes as well.

Greige

This seasons current nail trend: "Greige" (grey meets beige). I am currently LOVING this trend. It is subtle yet still fashionable. I actually bought a Butter London nail polish too (great brand). I bought the "Yummy Mummy" color (a little lighter shade). Purchase it here. Or buy their suggested color of "Fash Pack" here. (the "Yummy Mummy" is a little lighter shade).

Save the Date

I have no idea who these people are but their wedding save the date video puts all other save the dates to shame.

I didn't watch but...

I still have an opinion on the fashion and the winners.
Michael C. Hall and Jennifer Carpenter from Dexter.
Love Dexter. Love them together. Love her dress.
So happy he won Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Drama Series for Dexter. (also, I got my whole family addicted to Dexter. Seriously, it is the best show ever).

Glee Cast with their awards for outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series. I seriously, cannot wait till Glee is back on again.

Joshua Jackson & Diane Kruger
The most stylish couple. Her dress is stunning. And such a hard color to pull off too.

Lea Michelle
I want this dress.

well, hello sir.

If only there were well dressed men (straight men) like this in Portland.

Gold Leaf

This coffee table is fabulous. Enough said.

Best in Show

I feel in love with this wallpaper as soon as I saw it at work. Isn't it just so much fun?! It is flocked so it has a lovely, rich texture. It comes in 3 colorways and also comes in fabric as well.

The Right Brain vs. Left Brain

I love this brain experiment! Go here now. Then come back and tell me if you see the women turning clockwise or counter-clockwise. (I always start clockwise but shift it part way through).

Amanda Seyfried

I just finished watching Mamma Mia (not a fan of that movie). I now have a girl crush on Amanda Seyfried though.

Filament

My newest obsession....table lamps!Could this be any cooler? Probably not. Then again it is $7,500!

It always worries me when they don't give you a price and tell you to contact the dealer....meaning way out of my price range.
Awesome funky lamps.

Fly Me to Paris

I would love to be eating a macaron in Paris at Pierre Hermé. Since I am stuck in Portland and won't be flying to Paris (unless you want to buy me a plane ticket) I will be going around the corner to try macarons at Pix Patisserie.

Here is a list of where to buy Macarons near you.

Information about macarons here.

Pale Pink

I normally stay far away from pale pink. It normally seems too young and cutesy. But strangely, I have been drawn to it lately. I actually love it when mixed with blacks and grays. It seems to toughen it up a bit. What is happening?
The large photograph is a lot of fun for a space.
This is the perfect interior for this inspiration board.

Bvlgari

I adore Julianne Moore. Really I just love fellow gingers and she is stunning (did I mention she is 49 years old?! damn girl). This is the Bvlgari 2010 ad.

Pretty Basics

Sweatshirts are getting cute. I am not a girl who normally wears sweatshirts outside the house unless I am going to a sporting event; but, this forever 21 sweatshirt is so cute that I actually wore it to work today! shocker.

lace front with an exposed back zipper. just darling.

buy it here.

Golden Globes

To be perfectly honest, no one blew me away yesterday. There were a lot of pretty dresses but nothing was a "can't take your eyes off stunning".
My favorite dress of the night was Anna Paquin's. via

My second favorite was Toni Collette

Skirts

I am not a huge fan of sink skirts. Although, the one below is rather charming. I am taking this as inspiration to conceal my cat's litter box in our linen closet. via.

Equality

For my future bar cart

A perfect tray to serve alcohol to your guests. With a price tag of $20...what is not to love? Thomas Paul Luddite Tray via.

Karla's Closet

I love her style! I want to be wearing this outfit now. via.

An Education

My roommate and I saw this movie last night. AMAZING! Seriously, go see it....That is if it is still playing in a theater around you. The clothes, cars, interiors, music, acting, etc etc were all fabulous as well.
