Hermès has jumped on the DIY wagon with it's free downloadable paper Hermès Kelly bag that you can decorate yourself or choose from a variety of designed prints. (To get there, go to the Hermès homepage and click on the thumbnail in the middle that says "i want it, i'll have it!" along with the image of a blank white bag.)

Felicia Sullivan and The Sky Isn't Visible From Here

Yesterday evening, I had the pleasure of hanging out with my friend Felicia Sullivan as she's traveling the west coast on a book tour for her memoir, The Sky Isn't Visible from Here. The book is a poignant tale of Felicia as she grew up with a unstable, drug-addict mother. We had a great dinner where we spent most of the conversation freaked out over the plot line of Gossip Girl. Then headed over to The Booksmith for her talk. She's an amazing speaker and I was blown away and moved by her reading. Plus she's had baked goods at her book talk! You can't go wrong with cookies people!

If you are in the LA area, take a visit to her next 2 book events here:

Friday, May 9: LOS ANGELES, CA
Book Soup, 8818 W Sunset Blvd., 7:00 pm

Saturday, May 10: PASADENA, CA
Vroman’s Bookstore, 695 E. Colorado Blvd., 4:00 pm

I of course snagged an autographed copy of the book and I'm excited to start reading it!

Go Green

I've been noticing around the streets of San Francisco a fresh green color as a bright alternative to the yellow that has been staying strong the last couple of seasons. I love the summery look of the Gap's green tropical linen shift dress ($59.50).

Lisa Dress in Kelly Green ($88 at JCrew)

Embroidered Babydoll Dress ($29.80 at Forever 21)


Ruffle Skirt ($39.50 at the Gap)

Marc by Marc Jacobs Super Fine Pique Top ($168 at Shopbop)

Grey Handbags for Summer

I know white may be the bag to have this Summer but I have a feeling grey may be giving white and silver metallics a run for its money. Light grey is the shade of choice and I love this Kenneth Cole Soft Touch Large Hobo ($358) for it's perfect shade and bohemian hobo shape. The bag also comes in a smaller hobo size for $198.

Coco Chanel Movie Starring Audrey Tautou

Production has started on the new French movie on the life of Coco Chanel starting Audrey Tautou of Amelie fame. Coco avant Chanel directed by Anne Fontaine will cover Coco's life before she was famous from learning how to sew in an orphanage as a child to making costumes for herself as a cabaret singer and for other singers when she was a young woman.

Remember when it was rumored Demi Moore was going to play her in a movie? I'm so glad that this is a French movie with a French actress to tell the real story. I'm so looking forward to it's release -- hopefully it won't take long to come to the U.S. Find out more in the Variety article (via Buzz Sugar).

Update 5/15: Here's the movie poster!
