Supposedly after watching The September Issue, Alex Katz wanted to paint Anna Wintour without her signature sunglasses. This is the result!
Yay or nay?

Tuesday Tunes
Well, again Tuesday is upon us so all you delightful folks will be wanting some musical goodness. And you're in LUCK. Today happens to be the second installment of Southern Comfort, the most foolish, boisterous and generally entertaining radio show of our time. We'll be broadcasting TODAY, Tuesday September 28th, from 7-8pm (EST) on WZLY 91.5FM, so please turn your dials to our wavelength if you happen to be in the area. Otherwise, click this link and open up the stream in your iTunes for some good, old fashioned family fun. We'll be playing some new Sufjan Stevens and Deerhunter as well as some other great choons, so be sure to be there... cuz you don't want to be a square.
Ps - Check out this great little heart-shaped strawberry I saw. & look forward to another fashion week post for me in the near near future.

Amanda's highlights for Spring RTW 2011- Part II
Finally! This is the second part of my pick list for Spring RTW 2011.
1. Moschino Cheap and Chic
I love how Moschino totally embraces color and pattern. Every look is so whimsical and fun while still being wearable. There were really cool accessories in this show for example the belt shown below with the huge piece of coral. I didn't include any pics of the huge coral necklaces that also made an appearance but if you have time they are definitely worth checking out.
2. 3.1 Phillip Lim
Lim's palette was filled with gray, blue, and black so it was quite somber for spring but one of my favorite pieces of the whole season so far is the sheer trench coat below that has black piping. I'm not sure if it's a dress or a coat but either way I love it. His pieces look very simple yet comfortable, perfect for this fall even.
3. Diane Von Furstenburg
I wasn't a huge fan of the rest of her collection but I was drawn to this look for some reason. It's very eyecatching and although it has a lot going on,somehow it works for me. And if you're not so into the whole outfit I could see splitting up the skirt and shirt to par them down. What do you think?

Architecture-Inspired Rings
Philippe Tournaire is a Paris-based designer of some of my favourite things... jewels. He currently has a collection of rings based on architecture in lots of different cities and countries including Moscow, Paris, New York, and China.
Here are some of my favourites:
Moscow
Paris
Venice
China
Courchevel, French Alps
Aaaand, the London version is coming soon. If you've got 2000 to 5000 € to spare, go and scoop up one of these lovely rings (and feel free to lend it to me all the time).

Mini Stop-Motion Film!
The animation studio behind Wallace and Gromit are at it again. They've created the world's smallest stop-motion film using a Nokia smartphone and this crazy invention called a CellScope (which is basically a microscope that fits onto a cameraphone). It sounds like a long process, as each image of the little girl Dot had to be printed on a 3D printer and manipulated to fit into the background. But it was all worth it, because it's a great lil film. Check it out below. The music is nice too.
