T. Swift + Civil Wars + Peeta

I love it when three of my favorite things are all in one place. 

Oscars 2011.

"You're considered frivolous and silly if you are interested in fashion, but I think you can be substantial and still be interested in frivolity." -Sophia Coppola

There were perfect purples...

and a magnificent metallic (which kind of resembled Oscar standing behind her)...

and beautiful blacks (with a cute, but overtanned boy)...

and the reds were ravishing...

and The King's Speech boys were darling and dapper...

and the neutrals were very nice...

and Justin surely was justified (and hot).

And, did you see this? Hilarious!!!

Glee > Super Bowl.

I must admit, I am more excited about the new episode of Glee than the Super Bowl. Thriller, yes please! 

Especially after seeing this guy (and his mohawk) in person Friday night...

(Neither of these pictures are zoomed, I was that close to the one and only Puck.)

Movies Stars Plus Their Bicycles.

Rides A Bike, the blog of movie stars with their bicycles, has been circulating the blogsphere lately, but it is just too wonderful not to post here too. 

Happy Monday!

Betty Draper or Erin McCabe?

I have been watching Mad Men Seasons 2-4 (for the first time!) this week and have realized that my wardrobe might be a little too similar to Betty Draper's.
Exhibit A-F:

And then these are all items in my wardrobe:

I should probably work in the Art Department of Mad Men due to my fashion style, don't ya think?

Twilight Plus Kate Spade Equals B.D.H.

You may know her as this:

And now you will know her as this:

A girl can only dream of starring in a movie with Robert Pattinson and being the first celebrity face of Kate Spade. 

The Royal Tenenbaums.

I love all things that combine interior design/houses and movies/television. Therefore, naturally, I would love these illustrations by Maxim Dalton.

Don't you just want to spend the day on the couch with the Christmas tree lights on and have a Wes Anderson marathon after seeing these? Except, I would not recommend seeing Life Aquatic. It wasn't the best (and I went on kind of an awkward date to see that movie, so I might be a little biased). 

Kristen Plus Dax Equals Love.

My new favorite celebrity couple is none other than Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard. Kristen was Veronica Mars (the coolest, smartest, and bravest teenage detective ever) and Dax is the fabulous Crosby Braverman (playing the stepping it up, wonderful father to Jabar on Parenthood. Oh, and it is definitely on my list of Top 3 shows I would want to set decorate on, second only to How I Met Your Mother). Honestly, I don't really know what KBell and Dax are like in real life, but I do love their television characters, they look to laugh a lot, and are just so darn cute together.

If you have not checked out their shows, I would highly recommend renting the VM dvds, and TiVoing Parenthood, Tuesdays 10/9 Central on NBC.

Welcome to Hollywood, what's your dream?

This past weekend I went to Los Angeles for the Set Decorator Society of America's Day With A Set Decorator. You may remember me blogging about it here. It was pretty fabulous, so...
Here is my Top 10 list from my 5 days in L.A.:
10. Flying on a free buddy pass on Southwest thanks to my sweet friend Jenna. Thank you, again, Jenna!
9. Knowing how to get to Target in West Hollywood without using my GPS.
8. Seeing the hills and ocean, plus having a city bus drive by me, all in one day.
7. Hearing about why the Bible is still relevant today at church.
6. Hanging out all morning at The Getty. The weather was gorgeous, the antique furniture was amazing, the architectural tour was wonderful, the fall leaves were enormous and orange yellow, the views were to die for, and the succulents were the most beautiful I have ever seen.

5. Seeing my friends Gretchen and Jennie. They were so warm and welcoming to me while in town and fun to hang with!
4. Celeb sightings at Warner Brothers...Conan and Zachary Levi. (Z.L. might be my newest crush.)
3. Touring the set of Glee! Yes, I got to see everything from Will's house to Emma and Sue's offices, to the choir room, auditorium, cafeteria, and Rachel's room. I also got to see what I think is their bikes. And, I think my bike would fit in just perfectly.

2. Hanging out with my cousin, Ellen, who is the closest thing I have ever had to a sister. We got to see each other twice and I was so encouraged by her creativity and fresh outlook on life.
1. Meeting so many professional Set Decorators who have worked on beautiful movies and television shows including The Holiday, ER, Little Fockers, True Blood, Four Christmases, Anchorman, Almost Famous, Parenthood (the t.v. show), Will and Grace, and more. They were so nice and encouraging, saying that if you are passionate and work hard you can make it in the set decorating business. And, the top highlight was going on an in-depth tour of the Warner Brother's prop house and eating lunch with the set decorator from CBS's  $#*! My Dad Says and being offered an opportunity to intern with her. Amazing dream come true huh? What a reminder that sometimes God's plans are better than my own.

Redesigned.

Moxy Creative House redesigned 10 classic (to some people) movie posters. I heart them. 

If I could vote for more posters for them to redesign I would choose Good Will Hunting, You've Got Mail, and Clueless. All of those movies have their own fabulous unique styling. What would you choose?
