Bette Davis Eyes

This weekend TCM when Bette Davis crazy. In between the marathon of her movies including Burnt Offerings and The Scapegoat, the station aired this interview with Dick Cavett. It's great because it is an in depth talk with the superstar, unlike a lot of the surface scripted stuff we see these days. Le sigh. I dont mean to get negative, it's just sometimes I wish certain elements of the past would re-appear :)

If you have a chance, watch this whole interview. What an amazing woman!

It's Shark Week & We Love Sharks!

Happy Sunday

For a dreamy Sunday, here is something I found via The English Muse. Gemma Booth, videographer, created this short film, Treasure Box, for her exhibition. I'm so in love.

For the Love of Country

There is no denying Zooey is fabulous. She hit it right on the nose when she said her own style is "... feminine, even flirtatious." It's a feeling she creates- a good vibe, maybe?- that certainly strikes a cord with me and my friends, and we pull a lot of inspiration from her life as we perceive it. I love this Instyle spread, because it is like a romantic safari picnic. My favorite image is Zooey with the peach.

Recession.Special

I stumbled upon INVEN.TORY yesterday in SoHo. This is a great "outlet" type boutique that carries overstock from designers like Pegleg, Shipley & Halmos, and Cheap Monday in a highly focused, highly curated setting. The relatively new boutique, opened in March of this year, has an added perk: weekly in store events/ parties to celebrate the welcoming of new brands, among other reasons. I was swooning over the shoes and the carefully selected vintage section in the back, instantaneously declaring INVEN.TORY my new favorite store. Below some inventory (pardon the pun!)- it's safe to say I want it all.

6. Garance's new girl crush and her trip to London

Happy Tuesday

Karen Alloy is a hilarious video blogger that popped up on my youtube page today. Above is my favorite, where she expresses some anxiety she has about allegedly running over a squirrel. HA! Close runners up are: Cereal is my Crack and Mars Apocolypse.
Enjoy!

How to get "shot by Scott"

Refinery29's the Pipeline did some studying and posted a very helpful flowchart in hopes of increasing one's chances of being captured in the coveted lens of The Sartorialist. Thank goodness, I need some help in this department! so funny...

I have a quirky hat, and I'd like to increase my chances. I think I'll add a vintage bike (have to fix my tire) and a cigarette. I should be spotted in no time!

I love Scott's comment on the forum below:
"Can you make a Sunday NYT chart like this for me, I would love to get shot by Bill Cunningham -The Sartorialist"
Ha!

Evian Babies

Happy Thursday! Let's watch a video of babies on skates.
Today is like a Monday for me because I extended my long weekend and it is my first day back :)
It has been glorious.

Congrats you classy man

happy fun fourth

The Abstract

I love the chaos/perfect harmony that is a good collage. These clippings aren't just haphazardly thrown on a sticky piece of paper, although now that I say it, that might be a good way to do it..
Check out this magical series from Now Voyager that are juusst right, mostly pieced together with three clippings or less.

The universe in my dress

WKND creates garments using spacey collage prints like the one below. The company's website is an explosion of prints and oddly- or appropriately?- I couldn't break my gaze from the flashing glowing textiles. Now I feel I must have this dress. Wierd cyberspace-hypnotism?

C'est un Pipe

Gallerist James Danziger posted this little ditto on his blog, The Year in Pictures, on Friday. Regina Spektor's new single has a surreal video, in the spirit of Magritte, just as beautiful as the song itself. I have the pleasure of seeing Ms. Spektor in concert this Tuesday with one of my favorites, Little Joy, who rocked this weekend in Boston. And how!

Magritte's Window

UPDATE (6/23): Regina is not playing with Little Joy tonight. I made that up and told myself it was true. It isn't.

UPDATE #2 (8/3): Ironically, as a surprise appearence, Regina came on stage for the last song with Little Joy.
