Phoenix @ Hollywood Bowl

What a fun night!!!! The show was FANTASTIC!

++ Makes me all the more excited for Sofia Coppola's upcoming film Somewhere, which just won the Grand Prize at the Venice Film Festival

If you don't get the connection - the soundtrack for the film was created by Phoenix.

Git Yer Shop On!

For those of you outside the LA area or those that reside inside the LA area but refuse to head east of the Lincoln, the 405 or whatever your breaking point may be - Lost + Found is now online!!!!

Massimo Vitali

Massimo Vitali has a fantastic show at M+B - gorgeous photos and always a great opening night!!!

Catfish

Last night I went to a screening and q+a of the Sundance Darling and soon to be released Catfish! This doc, feature, new category, whatever you want to call it is superb! A must see!!!

Two things come to mind after a bit of reflection....As much as I love JT the Social Network is about to get the rug pulled out from under them.

And

Without giving anything anyway because I want everyone to have the chance to see the movie with very little background information as I did...Are the directors exploiting Abby to a degree too???

Capture the Castle

Capture the Castle - I am truly enjoying this blog - she writes beyond her years....and has such a good sense of style!

Whhhhhhaaaaaattt - free chanel nail polish + mini manis??!! Where is this happening in LA - I.MUST.GET.SOME!!!!

+++tucked back in the depths of her blog is a fabo shot of a bunch on desserts - I know my desserts and those are the fine offerings of one of my local haunts - Gjelina (where you may just find me tonight!)- ah the blogosphere makes the world that much smaller.

More FNO Westside Styley

Ipods flaw

Apple did such an amazing job designing the Ipod, were they all tapped out when it came to the headphones or in-ear buds? Let's face it, for running they SUCK, they don't even stay in your ear!

I've been on the search for a replacement. And Philips/O'neill - is just that!!

It's the perfect pairing - Philips for the Sounds + O'Neill for the sport.

There's a great variety of colors and styles. For me it's all about the white + gold.

Gold Star for Philips/O'Neill!

Blogstalker

Via Clare of Seevivier Blog and Bag Fame, I unearthed Jeana Sohn's Blog which I A -dore! Guess you could say I blogstalk her. She has a cool sense about her, add to that she's friends with Clare who I happen to think is tres chic! Think I might have even met Ms JS at a Taylor de Cordoba opening...The point of this post is that Jeana recently posted a pair of Rachel Comey shoes that I LOVE love luv!!! Guess it best that we are not friends otherwise we would probably own the same pair of shoes, awkward!!!

All Saints Clothing + SMP

I was fortunate enough to walk thru Santa Monica Place a handful of times prior to the opening. Thou I must admit I have yet to check it out since completed.

When I do finally make it over, I am very interested to see all of the clothes at the All Saints Shop - above is a pretty cool promo vid for the shop.

Heat Wave II

In keeping with the heat wave + watermelon theme...I recently learned of the food + bevie + other goodies blog The Kitchy Kitchen - this site is LOADED with awesome cocktail recipes!!!

Perhaps one may become the signature cocktail at my bday next week....

HEAATTTTTT WAVE!!!!

Ahhhh, summer is officially ON! Better late than never! It's so warm on the westside I can't image what's happening on the other side of town - probably melting sidewalks...

Over here, its all about Watermelon!!!

From NYMag - maybe if you nourished yourself a bit more, these hiccups would not seem so tragic! Then again that's what you want from reality TV.

The City of Brotherly Love

Is the birthplace of Italian Ice in the US of A, or wait is it NYC....errrr the battle continues.

Yesterday I encountered the Tango Mango Italian Ice Company and sampled some delish flavors; mango, CHOCOLATE CHIP!!!

Now if we could only have some summer heat here in SoCal, we would all want some refreshing Italian Ice

MangoTango is on facebook or twitter handle - tangomangoice

TGIF peeps!!!

What's on your radar??

Visual Storyteller + Eat, Pray No Love

LATimes launches - Framework - the photography and video blog by the LATimes. This will serve as not only a diary but a resource for all visual artists. C-O-O-L!

On a side note - I am SICK of Eat, Pray Love and it's not even out yet. This film is so OVERmerchandised and OVER capitalized, its disgusting.

Thus far, I've had furniture, clothing, perfume and more than one jewelry collaboration thrust in front of my face. Isn't the 'moral' of the story about stripping all the layers and finding your true self. Seems quite contradictory if you ask me!!

And to cap it off I heard that Julia Roberts is now a practicing Hindu???

Ladiieessss

Itty Bitty Divas

I’m not going to take off my heels. You’re short. Embrace it.”

—Disney star Selena Gomez responded to Justin Bieber's request that she change her shoes so Gomez wouldn’t tower over him.

What a good role model: never sacrifice footwear for a man, er, boy.

From NYTimesMomentBlog - the best!

Ipods & Ipads

My ipod is on its last leg....(it's sooo old school version 1.0 20g all white) - poor thing keeps freezing and dying and restarting and freezing and dying and restarting.

Anyone got a spare ;o)!!!!! please please??

I would DIE without music for my runs or workouts, yet for some reason all thoughts lead to the ipad.

If I were to indulge it would most definitely be held in one of Clare's hot pink Ipad covers!! Yet another Clare Vivier piece I covet! Actually, is there a Clare piece that I don't covet?

You must check out ALL her goodies here - seevivier.com
