If you didn’t notice, I’m in love with yellow right now. Besides the weather changes, chrysanthemums are in bloom and I just had to grab some at the grocery store. Autumn is definitely getting off with a bang. First, awesome (and on sale!) finds at Anthropologie and than more Drew Barrymore covers. Her magazine spreads are usually so great. I just love her personal style. Some favorite ones:

Marie Claire Oct 2009

Vogue Feb 2006 (My all time favorite. Classy, eclectic, sexy, vintage, Drew)

Elle May 2009

a fashion and food filled weekend

Got a chance to grab some lovely pink frozen cosmos at Dean’s Credit Clothing last night before a fashion show showcasing Richard Saenz’s Spring 2010 collection. The clothes kinda look better in photos, or maybe it was just too dark at the lounge. Here’s Trang strutting her stuff at the show. Afterward, we went to Pink’s Pizza parlor for the first time, and I have to admit, it’s some pretty damn good pizza. I had to order a box to take home for the parents, and even my hard to please father was asking where he could get some more of that delicious pizza. You can tell when the leftover slices tastes just as good as when its pipin’ hot if a pizza is good or not. So far an end to a chilled out weekend. Great pizza and The Wire (so good)…mmmmm

The future In-Laws are coming over next week. Cue dramamtic music here. Worst timing ever, because I’ve been offered a complimentary spot for Craig Barber’s Master Class at HCP. So let’s see pinhole photography lessons or tea with the family. To be continued…

Oh yeah, “Crazy Eyes” Ben from Lost just got an Emmy. It’s about time. Those veins were about to pop!

Taking DIY to the next level

Tara Donovan. Amazing amazing amazing. Her installations are entirely made up of mundane objects like straws, tar paper, pencils stubs, and buttons. The one with the scotch tape below is so delicately intricate and beautiful. I would imagine experiencing the pieces in person to be like stepping into a futuristic, sterile coral reef of some sort. The lightness of each object, like the straws, the plastic cups, and the scotch tape, work together so harmoniously that you are not overwhelmed by the sheer magnitude of the amoeba-like structures. I can only imagine walking into that room with the plastic cups to be like standing 5 feet underneath a cloud.

Channel surfing at its best. Can you believe I turned the channel and one of my favorite Roy Orbison songs was playing?

This set is so awesome. Can I just say Roy kicks every scenesters’ ass with those RayBans. And you know you’re badass if you got the Boss, Tom Waits, and Elvis Costello backing you up.
