Coolest Wallpaper Ever!

Friday, May 29th, 2009

Light bulbs are so 2008, Jonas Samson has created something so stylish and cool I might never buy a lamp again. 

With Jonas Samson’s high-tech light-emitting wallpaper it’s possible to use a two-dimentional flat surface as light source instead of a 3D object.

As long as the wallpaper is turned ‘off’, it is indistinguishable as a source of light. Instead, it is just what it appears to be: wallpaper.

You might now want to throw this pillow around, since it retails for $250, but it would be the prettiest pillow fight ever fought. Each of these velvet and silk pillows is hand sewn, dyed and painted. So no two will be alike. Pick up your “Baby’s Breath on Twilight” by Aviva Stanoff at artfulhome.com.

Mandy Moore is Amanda Leigh

Buy Mandy Moore’s latest album here.¬†Amanda Leigh continues Moore’s evolution as an artist. You can still hear the sugary poppiness we have become use to, but this album also has a wiser undertow. The first single I Could Break Your Heart Every Day of the Week video features¬†Chuck Liddell, a former American mixed martial artist. But my personal favorites include the slower, breathier Everblue and Love to Love Me Back. Is it just me or does this record have a little country twang?

Lost any makeup recently?

Last week I was super busy. ¬†I had 4 days of photoshoots. ¬†On the fourth day I show up and realize that I had lost the eyeliner pencil I can’t live without. Ugh. ¬†Not only was it the third time I had lost the pencil, but it was also something that I always rely on when I’m on a shoot. ¬†It was a crazy day so I¬†improvised. ¬†However, I came very close to walking across the street to the Sephora and buying it AGAIN! ¬†What was it? ¬†Stila’s kajal liner in Onyx. ¬† ¬†I’m not the only one who relies on it. ¬†Lots of celebs are fans including Kim Kardashian and Courtney Cox. ¬†It glides on effortlessly and is extremely black! ¬†Try it today!

Rosetta Tee

Tuesday, May 26th, 2009

Rosetta Tee from JCrew.com has incredible detail, but the superfine-tissue voile keeps that airy feel that is necessary for a summer shirt. How does J. Crew create such a detail? “It’s achieved by meticulously coiling a bias-cut, raw-edge piece of fabric.” Try to make your own or buy it for $195.

Congrats to Kris Allen

Thursday, May 21st, 2009

picture-11Kris Allen won American Idol last night. He was one of our favorites from the start, so we are glad to see the rest of America agrees with us. If we get one or two good artists (even if it isn’t the winner) per season it seems like it is worth it.

 

Are you glad Kris won? Was Adam your favorite? Who is your all-time favorite American Idol?
