Season one of Game of Thrones comes out on March 6 and Season 2 debuts on HBO in April. Starks and Lannisters. King’s Landing to Winterfell. I have never before looked so forward to winter.
1. Just to get you oriented
2. Stark grey
3. proclaim your loyalty
4. beauty rendered in paper
5. You know nothing, Jon Snow
Every year in Seattle February brings a weather tease that makes you feel like spring is here. It lures you in subtly with a few days or even a week of sun and rainless skies and you start to feel hopeful that winter is winding down. But sadly, it never lasts. Here’s to hoping for an early spring!
1. fresh as a spring day
2. my little chickadee
3. the perfect exhibit–springtime, the Parisian Avant-Garde, the Steins, The Met
4. My favorite spring vegetable
5. La Costa Brava is the perfect song to listen to get you into a different headspace–no more winter funk!!
I am one of the least romantic people I know and feel totally ambivalent about Valentine’s Day. But I still managed to come up with five things…
1. heart throb
2. heart gris (thanks, Trisha for drawing my attention to these)
3. A map of the open country of a woman’s heart
4. home is where the heart is
5. shadow hearts
Since Valentine’s Day is this month I thought I’d share some of my favorite love stories as told on film.
It’s award season and here is my vote for the five best dresses of last night.
1. I think we can now expect to see more headbands…
2. She rarely makes a misstep on the red carpet and knows how to dress for her body, the occasion and her age–which never seems to change.
3. What can I say? Seriously, this woman is amazing.
4. I am not sure she has wowed or surprised on a red carpet look since her 1997 Galliano Chartreuse Oscar gown (one of my all-time favorites, btw). But she scored with this choice.
5. I loved this dress (especially the back, which is not shown). She could have “owned it” a bit more, but it is still stunning and the best of the black and white combos.
* I had several top choices that almost made it. Here is my second “top 5″
1. Tilda Swinton–the ONLY Avante Garde actress out there. Seriously, someone else needs to bring her some competition because she’s blowing everyone else out of the water. Individual.
2. Sarah Michelle Gellar–a bold choice, fun, beautiful and a perfect fit and was totally unique compared to all the repetition we saw in blush, fishtail and strapless. But the styling of the hair didn’t quite work.
3. Charlize Theron–can pull off big, dramatic haute couture and the blush color. I just can never quite get there with the bows.
4. Viola Davis–beautful dress in a stunning color, but a bit boring in shape and styling.
5. Octavia Spencer–dressed suited her perfectly in shape and style and she looked lovely. My only issue was the color…lavender. Really?
