Waiting for the iPhone

I don't know what's wrong with me but I've been literally day-dreaming the whole week about the iPhone. There's no way I'll wait in line before Friday but there's a good chance this weekend if it's easy enough, I'll buy one of these babies. And I can't do it online. I need to buy it and get it in my little hands right away. For now, I'm learning all I can about the phone with the cool videos and demos they have on apple.com.

Oh and don't miss this fabulous iPhone ad that isn't airing on TV but looks really cool. Who knows whether or not will be approved to air, but this is definitely my favorite. Plus, I can't stop singing/whistling this song and whenever it comes on the radio I think of the iPhone. I'm so screwed!

Nicole Kidman in Nintendo DS Brain Age Ads in Europe

Who knew Chanel would meet Nintendo with these new Brain Age game ads for Nintendo DS's with Nicole Kidman. Yay Nicole is *just* like me! She's looking gorgeous in all white. I very much recommend this game too. There's Sudoku which is perfect for the airplane.

Jovovich-Hawk Fall Collection 2007

I am loving the Fall preview of Jovovich-Hawk that's up on their web site. With vintage glamour infused with modern cuts and styling, this is definitely a collection to covet. Pictured above is "nuit", a perfect 20's style dress with detailed beading.

Here's more of my favorites:

epiphany

odette dress & grandmother spider cape

viola

vivian

galina vest, cool lots & nancy blouse

The current collection of Jovovich-Hawk is now on sale at Net A Porter!

Summer Cooking in Paris

One of my friends Amy of the fabulous blog Ms. Glaze's Pommes d'Amour is a chef living and working in Paris. This summer I told myself I'd really learn how to cook, especially French cuisine and there's no better way to learn than with her fun series of cooking videos and recipies she's gathered on her blog. I loooove desserts - ooh la la! Her recent video shows us how to make puff pastry: feuilletage with Tse of Chez Tse, one of her fellow blogger chefs. Bon Appetit!

Get Jessica Alba's Summer Scarf Look

Even with summer's rising temperatures, Jessica Alba is singlehandedly bring lightweight scarves back into fashion. But unlike other celebs (ahem, yes Kristin Dunst is trying to get in on the action but looks like a mess) who are also sporting scarves, Jessica's been wearing them tied up in so many creative and stylish ways. From wearing a scarf as a tie, to tying it close and gathered around the neck, Jessica brings scarves back with a casual elegance pairing them with mostly t-shirts and jeans to complete her downtown look. LA's hot boutique, Kitson's also in on the action selling one of her most popular looks with her tied Tolani scarf ($65).
