Double Dog Dare You

Not to smile while watching any of these super duper videos. Apologies for the overloaded video post, but I guess I needed a robust injection of COLOR. Ma-ma-ma-makes me happy. Happy Friday, dingus'!

Pretty Picture


Having a swell time with Robey. The great Facebook Status Update Battle of '10 has been a thrill to watch. Not sure who's going to win out. I dare say, my husband is in the lead. We're heading out with our driver, Nestor, today. The plan is to spend the day in Candelaria; the colonial section of Bogota. Botero, emeralds, the presidential palace, coffee, gold museum, ancient churches...the perfect day in Colombia.

My Favorite Vampire

Sarah arrives tomorrow! Terribly excited! Our first visitor.  Wahooooo! Unfortunately elections are taking place this weekend and they have lots of screwy rules set around town. Boo. But who are we kidding? There's no stopping the radical power of vampires.  Suck it.

Oh Felix Doolittle


How I love you so! Sweet stationary, return address labels, invitations, personalized stickers and every other imaginable paper good from Felix Doolittle. The personalized 'everyday writing papers' made for great Christmas gifts this year. Don't see any artwork that speaks to you? The website offers HUNDREDS of graphics from which to choose. There's certainly something for everyone!

Sometimes You Feel Like A Nut


Hola! Soy Doug.  Me gusta los plantanos.  Le importa que fume? No? Bueno. Ahora, vamos a al cine.  

Video: This is Doug, the banana-thieving monkey from Krabi, Thailand. His extended family nearly killed us further down the river. Do you know what a crazed wet monkey feels like? No one on the planet should know that answer. And don't worry about why Doug speaks spanish and not thai.

Warriors! Come out to plaaaayay!





So many TRIBAL influences on the runway this season.  My favorite being, Nicolas Ghesquiere's version for Balenciaga. No matter the season nor the influence he takes what is forward-thinking, fresh and inspiring and creates clothes that are familiar, wearable and forever cool. I am obsessed with the Pierre Hardy boots he commissioned; fashioned after Masai warrior necklaces. Salivating. I am eager to get these looks onto my body. Even if I have to rip up the block print pillows in my living room.
