It's Meryl ...

I received my sub of Vanity Fair (Jan. '10) over the weekend and I was overcome with happiness to find the lovely Meryl Streep on the cover. Honestly, she really is the Hollywood actress to be ... ultra-talented, smart, beautiful, graceful, out of the tabloids.

I cannot wait to see her new film It's Complicated this month. It's written and directed by Nancy Meyers who is responsible for two of my other favorites Something's Gotta Give and The Holiday. Meryl's quote from the issue says it all ... "It's incredible–I'm 60, and I'm playing the romantic lead in romantic comedies!" That is amazing, and if you ask me it's both refreshing and modern.

Trip Down Memory (Fabulous) Lane ...

Remember these? Ran into SATC again the other night and of course I watched as long as I could just to see her outfits ... again. There's something about Carrie's character that makes me feel like I could just possibly pull off those outfits. Maybe because she's approachable and relatable? Must be, because while someone like Kate Moss looks good in anything I just don't get that same feeling from her. Isn't that strange?

And the wedding dress ... I can never get enough. I love seeing it every single time. I think the "bird" in her hair and veil were brilliant. What did you think?

Oh Natalie, Oh Lanvin! ...

At first I couldn't tell the length of the dress, but here you see it's long. Beautiful.

Big thanks to Coco+Kelley for pointing out the new Marie Claire cover (Jan. '10) with Natalie Portman! This photo is the perfect reminder of why I love fashion (and Natalie). The dress is from the Lanvin Spring '10 collection and I'm in love with it. The matte navy w/the perfect red punch of the flower is simple but makes just the right statement. And then you put someone like Natalie Portman in it and it's perfection. Her hair color too just ties in the gray background to it all, don't you think?

Did I mention I want this dress? I might actually need it :)

P.S. Sorry no post yesterday. Was feeling under the weather but am golden today :)

Funny Lady ...

I know I should’ve posted this earlier but I just remembered it’s Thursday (it happens) which means my fave show “30 Rock” is on tonight:)

Here’s a little homage to the hilarious, mom, wife, boss, actress, all around woman that is Tina Fey. This is a great article from her Vanity Fair issue earlier this year. And another from her more recent Harper’s Bazaar issue. Girl is still getting covers even 10 months after Vanity Fair … go Liz Lemon!

BTW … Tina is definitely one of my "If you could have lunch with a famous person who would it be?" choices.

Gift Suggestion No. 2 ... Persol

Steve McQueen. Daniel Craig. Pierce Brosnan. Need I say more? Persol's are a great gift option for the man in your life. Hey, if there's no "man" these are still great for good ol' dad :)

Plus, the guys will love that the distinguishable arrow symbol on the arms were inspired by the swords of ancient warriors. Tough, sun blockers ... perfect.
