The ladies in VENICE

My holiday post has to do with the killer styling of my favorite Hollywood gal Michelle Willams and perfect little leading lady Elle Fanning.

Williams is at the Venice Film Festival for her work in the Kelly Reichardt movie, MEEKS CUTOFF. The film sounds incredible. I am a huge fan of Reichardt(OLD JOY and WENDY AND LUCY)

Michelle wore a Jason Wu dove gray 60's inspired gown for the premiere. Nice new haircut!! Gorgeous. Different. Don't know who made the little romper (probably APC) or the shoes... but spot on cute!

A runner up for age appropriate and going to be a superstar is Elle Fanning. She is in Venice with the film SOMEWHERE directed by another one of my style icons, Sophia Coppola. I know that the party dress she wore was Marc Jacobs. Must be nice having that hook up.

Keep up the good work ladies!!! I am so excited to see your films!

Army Style

We all heard Obama talk about the final withdrawal of troops in Iraq. But, the fashion world has taken the army greens and thrown them right on the runway.

Translation: Army Navy Surplus store equals the jackpot for the latest military inspired trends.

J.Crew is all about their classy version of the military jacket and this belt.

Can't pass up a good Henley layering shirt.

Always wanted one of these flight jackets.

TOP GUN style. Killer sun glasses.

Loving the flight bag with the yellow strap.

All kidding aside this might seriously be my Halloween Costume.

Support our injured Veterans. The Yellow Ribbon Fund.

Vino?

Floating around the web and this caught my eye.
I love the double R's. Reuse and Recycle. Take a look at these ideas to make the most of your empty wine bottles.
Or if you already threw your's in the bin...
Look what I found for sale:

Like these Heath wine punt glasses.

Tumblers from Sundance.

Wine bottle pendent light on etsy.

Babies

I don't have one yet but I am an aunt to eight little ones. This post is dedicated to all my pregnant friends who read this blog. They are starting to love sleepless nights, back pain and all the joys of pregnancy.

My friend Sam says she can't live without her Snoogle. She has stated she might have to, "upgrade" her queen size bed to a King so the husband and Snoogle can fit.

The organic Teddy Bear above is from Kallisto. I think it looks super soft.

For the more modern and sleek mom to be. My friend Eve says these cribs by Oeuf are the best.

If I see another kid with this damn teething Giraffe I might have to buy one to chew on myself.

Little robots on a little baby? Nothing cuter.

Cherry's on your toes? Yes, they will eventually need shoes for their tiny feet.

Have a wonderful weekend. We are getting down to the last days of summer so please enjoy.

UPDATE: I changed my title on this post. I realized me being cute with using the word addition..just looked weird.

obsessed

I guess I can call myself a lucky girl. Know why?
I have a Container Store within minutes from my house.
I love these Stockholm office storage boxes.
Tons of colors to choose from or go natural.
They are currently on SALE. Snap some up for yourself soon.
Pure organizational enjoyment.

a sweet wedding present

I just received a wedding gift. They are coming in fast.
