TV personality, author, and food connoisseur, Padma Lakshmi (from Top Chef) has launched a new jewelry collection. The fine jewelry collection entitled, PADMA, which features 14K gold and precious as well as semi-precious stones, ranges in price from $300-$6000 and will debut at Bergdorf Goodman this week.
I’m feeling a bit lazy and uninspired after coming back from work so this post is just a quickie. My boyfriend sent over some pictures that he has taken of me recently with his film cameras, and so I decided to show you one of them today. I think this one is more recent, taken just a couple of weeks ago after my finance final. Isn’t it so much more interesting than my recent blank wall backdrops? I’d love to post his photos all the time but they either take a while to process or I’m making awkward faces. There is no second chance with film, I’m afraid.
Kevin has recently sparked the interest of a local gallery owner and might get to display a couple of his photographs. He has also entered a photography contest for a $10,000 grant from Magnum and the semi-finalists will be announced sometime within the next week. Good luck Kevin love!

After finding that Tsumori Chisato top at Value Village last week, I went on a search to find it’s possible runway origins. Unfortunately, I still haven’t found anything, so I’m assuming that it was just a retail piece. Fortunately, I had the opportunity to discover a brand that I had not paid close attention to in the past. Tsumori Chisato is a bit like Marni’s younger, even quirkier sister. I’m noticing similar motifs like that died check/plaid pattern and the loose round silhouette. I am loving the extremely colorful spring/summer 2009 collection. It is styling like this that makes me want to throw on every piece in my closet at once just to see what crazy new combinations could work out.
