did you hear the good news?!



Women’s Wear Daily reports that Deborah Needleman, the former Domino Editor-In-Chief and newly appointed editor of WSJ’s Saturday lifestyle section, has brought even more women from Domino to work with her in this new endeavor. This includes Ruth Altchek, Domino’s former editorial projects director and features editor, Sarah Ruffin Costello, the magazine’s former creative director, and Rita Konig! Deborah brought Lauren Goodman, Domino’s former fashion director, on board about a month ago. Is this not the most exciting news you’ve heard in years?! Even though it won’t be quite the same, I can’t wait to have my Domino team working together again. This collaboration is going to yield great things… I just know it! :)

want of the day



I’m crazy for these black suede Jeffrey Campbell flats! Isn’t that fur pom-pom darling? I was thinking about buying them, but I decided that I would first try my luck at hot glue-gunning a pom-pom to a pair of black cheapie flats. They’re only $112 dollars, but if I could make them for $30… why wouldn’t I?! We’ll see how this turns out. If only I were as crafty as Erika of P.S. I Made This! Let's just say that some of my past D.I.Y. projects were less than stellar :)

sofia + "somewhere"



Silly me. That picture I posted of Sofia Coppola a few days ago? It was not taken at the premiere of “Somewhere” like I originally noted, but rather at a scheduled photo op (I thought she was dressed a little casual for a movie premiere…). The images above were taken at the actual event. I loved her custom Louis Vuitton dress, but I am even more captivated by the composition of these photographs (particularly the first one). While it certainly looks glamourous, can you imagine what it would be like to have so many people taking your picture at once?!
