tom ford on OWN

This morning I watched the documentary on Tom Ford that was on the OWN Network a while ago. It was part of her series entitled Visionaries: Inside the Creative Mind. I had recorded it, but yet to watch it. It is centered around Tom's re-entrance into women's ready-to-wear fashion with the debut of his Spring 2011 collection. I found Tom to be quite a down to earth, inspirational person who, without a doubt, is extraordinarily talented.

moncler puffer please

The two chillin' I sometimes babysit for on the weekends both have little Moncler puffer jackets. Um, I wonder if the ten year old little girl will let me borrow hers. Hmmm...

I fell in love with the brand a year ago when I was working at a bakery in Soho and a women had on a gorgeous purple short puffer Moncler jacket. I asked her about it and she said she was actually a model in one of their shows (I mean go figure) and that they let her keep the jacket. Obviously purple isn't usually people's first pick, but I loved it. I'm sure they'll ask me to be in the next runway show any day now...just waiting ;)

The ones I would prefer to model are below.

holiday baking

It's official - the holiday season is here! All I can think is what do I bake? I love cooking for Thanksgiving, and having friends over for dinner parties when it's chilly outside. Bring on the snow and the warm winter treats.
