Stars like jewels...
This photo, taken by Thomas Shahan, is one of the most beautiful pictures of the Milky Way that I've ever seen. It's magical. Have you ever stayed up half the night just to watch the stars and planets move across the sky? I did it once on a moonless night at Yosemite, with a group of astronomers. It was freezing cold, but we counted over 20 shooting stars and a half dozen satellites. It's one of the best shows on earth, and completely free...

Zooey Deschanel? Is that you?
But what do you make of this photo?...(i feel like i'm alone on my blog today. where is everyone?)
Neville Trickett, Diptych Master
South African artist and stylist Neville Tricket produces the most interesting diptychs. Here he juxtaposes modern clothing tags against old fashioned sewing notions. Have a look:
There are even more on Trickett's blog, Saint Verde Digest. Let me know what you think! Creating diptychs seems so easy to the casual observer, yet it's actually very complex. Like mathematics translated into visual beauty.

Colin Firth
Hello everyone! I wanted to tell you that my story on Colin Firth ran today, if you're interested in seeing it. The link is here. He's considered an Oscar contender for his role in Tom Ford's "A Single Man," based on the Christopher Isherwood novel. He's also smart, down to earth, and -- well -- very handsome (tall, square jaw, curly brown hair). ... Ok, I'll stop. Check out the story and let me know what you think! It was a piece I was working on at the LA Times...
UPDATE: I'm loving this newly released poster for the movie.
Girls Who Wear Glasses...
But should they be round or square or oblong or heart shaped? Like these....
Or perhaps like these?...
I have a new life, so I decided to do something unexpected: Big, gold, and bold -- to match the new streaks in my hair. With glasses from here. In addition to being beautiful these glasses, hopefully, will finally help me see things clearly!
Hope you're having a lovely Wednesday...I can't believe the week is almost over!

Charming Stockholm Apartments
From the apartment of Cajsa Bratt & Pontus Frankenstein. I love the pink fabric.
From the apartment of Linda Karlsson. It's such a clever way to display a teacup collection -- just nails on wood.
From the apartment of Saga Ekman. Ooooh I love the Chanel clogs!
From the apartment of Lilian Bäckman. I love photo walls, although they're complicated to put together, like a puzzle.
Have a lovely Tuesday everyone...I'm meeting a friend for lunch here in LA, where the weather is perfect today...
