These Are A Few Of…

I’m a sucker for Hitchcock- the style (which may be more Edith Head than Hitchcock), storytelling and images of his pictures are so memorable and nostalgic. This collection is extensive with 15 movies including the biggies- Psycho, Rear Window and The Birds.

Go Macy’s! I love that they commissioned former graffiti artist and current art world darling, KAWS, to design a Companion character balloon for the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. Kind of ballsy Macy’s. Love it.

Kir Royale- the perfect little drink. My sister in law, Lauren, reintroduced to me to love of a good kir royale- my new favorite and seriously divine. But done wrong, they can be absolutely terrible. I like mine light on the creme de cassis and heavy on the champagne. To be exact 1/4 oz. creme de cassis and 2 1/4 oz. sparkling wine.
*For Holiday Feting: add a little red decorating sugar around the rim and drop a couple of cranberries inside the flute. Voila.

Ok, I know it’s been out a while now but I just saw it and loved it. I love the intensity that Daniel Craig and Sam Mendes bring to this Bond. He’s a completely different animal but- dare I say- Daniel Craig rivals Connery in the badass department. Connery- yes, more smooth and debonair, but Craig- a total badass.

Falconwright’s handmade clutches are graphic and spot on. I would love to find this under my tree.

I have one of these Lucky Strike smoking Santa ads framed and proudly displayed on my credenza every Christmas season. It just makes me happy- so wrong yet so right. I figure I have a couple more years before the kids are really aware, then I’ll put it away until they’re old enough to share in my appreciation for this ridiculousness.
