nylon-sienna miller

WE ♥ NYLON! it is by far our favorite magazine. In this issue the stunning sienna miller grassed the cover, and she did her interview in bed drinking tea and smoking cigarettes:) well...this issue was great, we already read it from back to front ,upside down and backwards!

on your marks get set GO!

The active sportswear look was a hit on the runway this spring! many designers paired neon parka dresses, hoodies, cropped leggings, and t-shirt dresses with nuetrals to tone it down. These modern looks were done by designers such as marni, dkny, dries van noten, and jean paul gautlier. Here are some of our favorite looks.

chloe ads

We love love love Chloe..as you know from our other previous post on this collection, well these ads for their spring 2007 collection are lovely, they have sort of a 70's feel, the awkward caught in the moment shots are so cool, we've noticed that marc jacobs' ad campaign did this as well with the upside down off beat angles.

sweet,savory and scary; food trends for 2007

Trends are not just a part of fashion...they appear in the culinary world as well. here are some interesting predictions.

1.Savory Ice Creams: Outrageous ice cream experiments can be found world-wide. Savory ice cream's beauty lies in the way it allows chefs to push boundaries and play with unexpected flavor combinations.Just imagine Romaine ice cream, tomato sorbet and even a daring Rouquefort-Sautern ice cream...

2.Flavored Salts: Pink salt mined in the Peruvian Andes, black lava salt from Cyprus, ruddy Alaea salt from Hawaii, gray sea salt, smoked salts (a big seller at Dean & Deluca), herb-flavored salts, Tahitian vanilla sea salt, even truffle-flavored salt

3.burgers with a twist;cool flavors etc...according to sources Rachel ray is in the process of opening a burger restaurant in nyc!

winter shades

Even though its like 10 degrees here in New York, that doesn't mean you can't wear a cool pair of shades. we love sunglasses in cool colors, such as red, bright blue,or white etc...well anyway,here are a few different pairs.

nylon-Cory Kennedy

Here is a cute little video, of Cory Kennedy shopping at the west coast boutique Barracuda...she has a section in nylon magazine called, "Cory's Corner," she is so cute..we love her aesthetic.

Annie Hall

In Woody Alens classic new york film, Annie Hall, Diane Keaton pulls off the over sized mens wear look perfectly, with her tiny frame and strong confidence. She was the first to do this androgynous look and ever since then she has inspired others to do the same. we love Diane Keaton, she is one of our all time favorite actresses, and we love her style! If you haven't seen this film, we strongly suggest you GO rent it! its wonderful.

Lovisa Burfitt

we really love lovisa burfitt, her drawings are simplistically eye catching and well done...she also has her line of clothes, burfitt, which is quite amazing to say the least,its all very original,and cool..we absolutely love it all!

Food: favorite bites in nyc

Here are a few of our favorite food finds for a day of shopping!

Magnolia Bakery
This west village neighborhoold treasure located on bleeker street is a must for anyone with a sweet tooth! nothing on the menu has less than a spectacular dose of sugar. The lines can be outrageouly long but its worth it! hey, and its convienently located next to the Marc by Marc Jacobs boutique...What more can a girl ask for?



Hampton Chutney.
once you step into this calm little Dosa shop you will forget all the caoses of the city. this is definetly our favorite lunch while spending a day in SoHo. what are dosas? well there light crispy sour dough crepes filled with indian inspired ingredients like the classic indian spiced patatoe filling, but both of our favorite is the one with spinach goat cheesse and roasted onions. and you get to pick a chutney either cilantro, Curry, Mango, Tomato, or Peanut, they are all delicious and tangy, everything here tastes homey and comforting...dont forget to try their yummy oatmeal cookies and authentic indian chai tea!

little miss fashionista?

Although she may just look like a freaky malnurished 12 year old, Dakota fanning may just be the teen fashion icon of the future... She has been in so many films in her career its quite crazy. now shes the new face of marc jacobs spring 2007 and shes doing add campaigns for for gap and karl lagerfeld ...and had a layout in teen vogue a while back. Fashion Week Daily reported that her entire wardrobe had to be custom made, due to her extremely petite size...
