ELLE (US) October 2003

This is one of my favorite editorials of all time. It's called Couture Now and features Maja Latinovic. I love everything - I still want that Versace dress - so sexy. I don't know if anyone remembers, but Beyonce wore this dress to the 2003 MTV VMA's. I didn't like the way she wore it, but oh well. This was so timeless - I feel like if I went and picked up the newest issue of ELLE, which comes out next week, actually, and saw this editorial in it, I would still feel like it's as fresh now as it was then. I need all of this in my closet immediately. This makes me want to go back through all my magazines from back then and look through each and everyone of them.

That Givenchy gown is to die for. It literally breaks your heart. That collection is actually the reason I love Givenchy to this day.

Kate Lanphere - Style Director, US ELLE

So I have been a fan of Kate's for a while - she has the most amazing style. It's almost Parisian goth - it's definately not American. But I really love the way she puts it all together.

I really wish, however, she would infuse some life into US ELLE. My first issue of ELLE was from October of 2002 - I bought every issue between then and about June of 2008. I feel like it's just gotten so bad. It's going through an identity crisis. Before (in the good ol days, lol) it was all about women - in every sense of the word. It was about being sophisticated, intellegent, well-heeled and well-traveled. There was a sensuality to it, that I have yet to see in another magazine. That was the ELLE I loved. That is the ELLE I miss.

Destination - Hong Kong, China

I just made this set. Obviously, it's inspired by the Halston tote. The sweater is Inhabit and the boots are givenchy. Nice for just walking around the city. The only thing is that the scarf needs to be the same color as the turtleneck.

Summer Wish List - Item # 1 - Halston Nappa Tote

This is going to be "the bag" for the summer. I love it...the quality of the leather is amazing. This would look extrodinary with a cinnamon cashmere Hermes or Inhabit turtleneck sweater and a pair of ultra skinny superfine jeans in medium gray (a little unexpected) or dark blue(too predictable). Throw in a pair of studs and some pumps and you're ready to go...

More of the New Do

I'm sorry, I'm a little bit obsessed with her...love her style. Slowly but surely, this new look is starting to grow on me. Love that jacket, though.

Blackcowboys - Come On

This is one of the most beautiful songs ever written. The combination of strings, piano, lyrics and voice, it's enough to make your heart break.

Why'd you have to go away?
Why did I ever run from you?
I should have never started this...
...started ever loving you.

I'm not perfect but I'm not so bad
Gave you everything I ever had
Guess you can throw it all away
Cause it's worthless now, ain't it babe...?

Ain't it baby? Ain't it baby?
Ain't it baby, oh ain't it babe?

Come on, come out
And I will run to you
Your all I ever needed now
Nothings gonna stop me now
Nothings gonna stop me

And it came as no surprise
When she wrote a song to say
"Are you just one of those people who
can casually walk away?"
I looked up to say that I'm still here.
It's too late because she disappeared

Feels like I've run so far away...

Come on, come out
And I will run to you
Your all I ever needed now
Nothings gonna stop me now
Nothings gonna stop me

If you cry your tears will flow,
And I will swim to you.
I don't care if I nearly drown
Nothings gonna stop us now

Nothings gonna stop us...

Come on, come on, come out
And I will carry you
Until I hit the ground

Nothin's gonna stop me now
Nothin's gonna stop it

And I'll give it all away
For a chance to get back to you
Are you just one of those people who...
One of those people who...

...That man, singing those lyrics, steals your heart away...

Plus, it features Gisele.

She can't take a bad picture. She is absolutely amazing.

I love this picture of her...

Volando Entre Tus Brazos

Perdóname si yo te corto las alas
Te retengo en mi vida atada a mi alma
Y tu mundo es mi piel que te quema o te calma

Perdóname si yo te quiero así
Entregada a mi ser y mis cuentos de hadas
Amándome más que a ti misma

Si vivo para ti debo confesar
Que no tengo otra forma de amar otra forma de ver
Esta es mi única verdad

Que tengo tanto miedo de perderte
De estar a tu lado y no merecerte
Y tengo tanto miedo tanto miedo
Que no puedo dormir
Que no puedo creer
Que estoy enamorado, hipnotizado
Y que no es mentira

Estoy enamorado, estoy enamorado, enamorado
Estoy enamorado
Hipnotizado, volando entre tus brazos
Estoy volando entre tus brazos
Enamorado

Perdóname si yo te he lastimado
Si mi forma de amar para ti ya no tiene sentido
No tengo más para dar que no te lo haya dado ya
Y que puedo decirte para remediarlo
Si no tengo otra forma de verlo
Otra forma de amarte
Esta es mi única verdad

Que tengo tanto miedo de perderte
De estar a tu lado y no merecerte
Y tengo tanto miedo tanto miedo
Que no puedo dormir
Que no puedo creer
Que estoy enamorado, hipnotizado
Y que no es mentira
Estoy enamorado, estoy enamorado, enamorado
Estoy enamorado
Hipnotizado, volando entre tus brazos
Estoy volando entre tus brazos
Enamorado

~Marc Anthony

This is one of those songs that speaks to the very essence of who you are...right through to the bones.
