Lately I’m really drawn to haphazard, twisted, tangled necklaces that look as though you popped your hand into the jewelry drawer, blindly grabbed a few strands and piled them all on. There is something really charming about the mismatched effect, dressed up and casual at the same time, that makes me think of a carefree girl throwing on a few pretty baubles before running out the door to enjoy the sunshine!

Another lovely shot of Julianne Moore for Talbots Spring 2011. Don’t you wish it was time for days spent in pretty yellow skirts (instead of freezing in a big sweater while today’s rain makes a big slushy mess out of yesterday’s snow)? I know I do, especially if those days involve twirling about in a warm spring garden.

There is still plenty of time to whip up a simple yet glamorous Oscar party! Kevin Sharkey’s house warming party provides the perfect template for a party short on time but big on charming details, with tons of white and silver balloons, an Oreo cookie cake, plenty of chilled Champagne and simple Hors d’Oeuvres like Deviled Eggs. A quick trip to the store, a few movie loving friends, and about 30 minutes of prep time will have you ready to watch the Academy Awards in style. The only question is which cookie would you use to make that fantastic cake? I am thinking three tiers of Thin Mints would be delicious and stylish!

I love this photo of Liv Tyler for Proenza Schouler so much I’d like to frame it! Not only is she beautiful, but looking at it just makes me feel so peaceful and happy, like taking a deep breath of fresh morning air. I wish there was a spot where I could go early in the morning and just close my eyes and breathe for a bit like this, I think that would be such a lovely start to the day.

Click your heels and believe ladies, it worked for Dorothy, it might work for us too, right? Okay, maybe not, but if there was a pair of shoes that could magically transport us to the Oscars this Sunday it would be these Swarovski crystal encrusted Christian Louboutin Sexy Strass Pumps. Amazing, no?
