Must See TV.

I'm anxiously awaiting the premiere of "Secrets from a Stylist", on Saturday! I don't know about many of you, but I sort of gave up on design on television a few years ago. Compared to what goes on in the blog world, decorating shows really fall flat. That's why I'm ready to see Emily Henderson (winner of Design Star) at work. Her work is modern, fun, and aesthetically pleasing...woohoo!

 After seeing Emily's portfolio, this design nerd is waiting for more!!

David Bailey

 (Diana Vreeland)

Last night I stayed up entirely too late, watching a biopic about photographer David Bailey on the Sundance Channel. If like me, you are unfamiliar with this name; you may be surprised to know that you are familiar with some of his photographs. Bailey first came to prominence with his work for British Vogue, in the sixties. During the time of a youth revolution in London, Bailey also broke with convention in fashion photography and started a sort of revolution of his own. Magazines could no longer be pretentious images that catered to only the elite. Instead, they had to appeal to a younger generation who used fashion as a means of self-expression.

Bailey photographed so many pop culture icons, its hard to limit how many I post!

I love this cover, the photo and the fashion are so timeless.

If you get a chance, be sure to watch this program. Although, try not to lose as much sleep as I did:)

Miracles Do Still Happen!

What an amazing couple of days! On our t.v. screens we watched 33 men, essentially brought back to life. I imagine that is how these men's families felt. At the same time we witnessed an event no human has seen before. Incredible!

I feel so proud of Chile, even though I'm not from there.
