George Hamilton and His Havaianas

I love George Hamilton! He doesn't take himself too seriously and I get a feeling that he would be such fun to hang out with! Check out his Havaianas!

Do you think George Hamilton's Havaianas are part of the 2010 collection? I've never seen those before.

The super entertaining article by Rita Wilson ( yes, the actress and Tom Hanks' wife) that accompanies this picture in Harper's Bazaar about Trophy Wives got me thinking.....

Me: Honey?

J: Uh-huh? ( doesn't even poke his head from behind the book he is reading)

Me: Can I be a trophy wife?

J: ( this is uncharted territory. He slowly puts down the wrist-bending science fiction tome. He is confused but proceeds cautiously)
... Errr... You.... ARE.... a trophy wife..

Me: I. AM. SO. NOT. A. TROPHY. WIFE!!! A trophy wife spends her days getting collagen, botox, waxed, implants, fillers, laser, blowouts...

J: Huh? I don't even know what those are!!!

Me: Oh God! ( I sniff derisively), basically , as a trophy wife, I would spend my days at the doctors' getting all sorts of injections to stay young and at the beauty salon to look beautiful and also I get to shop..... like.... A LOT......

J: stunned silence....

Me: Hey, since you are 6 years older than me, I think you might even qualify as a sugar daddy...woohooo!

J: ( sitting up, giving me his full attention now..) So, Let me get this straight..... You want to become a person who is of absolute no use to her fellow men and who would rather waste an education and hard-earned money on ... er... what did you say?.... collox and.... waxogens and.... laser blowouts ???

Me: Hmmm........That's another way of thinking of it.....

J: Sounds painful.... and very boring to me.

Me: You are a very wise old man, Mr. J

J: You know what a trophy wife SHOULD be, though?

Me: What?

J: A wife that keeps you young because she makes you laugh with her silly ideas ......


Now if only Mr.J took the garbage out when he is supposed to... and never got grumpy, he'd be almost perfect!

Rapunzel.....

I was gonna chop off my hair tomorrow, but after seeing this picture, I think I'll just grow it out! I love it! It's a little bit Yoko Ono back in the day!

Hope you are enjoying your Sunday!

Something to make you smile.... or cry a little....

I've only just discovered this video of sheer puppetry genius and I wanted to share it with you.....

It's like a storybook come alive!

I think the song is about a young boy's heartbreak and maybe he's just resigned himself to forget a love that can never be... and it just slays me!

Do you remember the first heart that you broke? Do you remember your first heartbreak?

Mine was in First Grade, his name was Don, my seatmate. He didn't say much and had a beautiful bouffant hairstyle. He was tiny Adam and I was tiny Eve in the school play. I thought all was going well and then, he moved...... I was crushed, bewildered, confused and hid my face in my arms on my desk as Don packed up his metal lunchbox and moved to a desk in the other side of the room , which may as well have been Siberia... when I lifted my slumped head 5 minutes later.... Hello! there sat Clive, with the smiling eyes... who offered me gifts of candy and scented erasers all year long.... and whose heart I broke!

Aaahh! Young love!

Trade in your Shoes!!!!

Twice this month, I made the mistake of wearing regular shoes ( my navy french sole ballerinas and my chloe platforms) and TWICE I got ouchy blisters that had me cussing like a sailor up and down Orchard Street!

The only reason why I wore shoes was because I thought it would go with my outfit!
And so this made me wonder......Can I give up wearing leather shoes altogether and just wear Havaianas?



I could wear Havaianas Slim Lucky owl with this outfit. BTW,this is Alessandra Colombo ( my new girl-crush)



This outfit goes with all my Havaianas...



OMG! I love the detail in the pants. Black Havaianas Brazils for you sir!



Anything that goes well with espadrilles goes with Havs!

My Brilliant Idea of the week:
Havaianas Rescue Outposts (like Lifeguard Towers) all around Orchard Road. So blistery fashion victims like me or tired shopping feet can get a break!

XOXO,

Brazilian Decor: Neza Cesar

I love Brazilian decor!
To me , the Brazilian touch- from the furniture in the 60's to the colorful favelas (shanty houses) to brazilian interior decor to brazilian bikinis to bossanova and samba to Havaianas designs are always unapologetically JOYFUL, unequivocally STYLISH and unafraid to be unique!








Neza Cesar's work proves that you don't need a million bazillion bucks to have stylish home.

Ingredients to a stylish home on a shoestring budget:

Your favorite paint colors, fabrics you love, some flea market finds, your mom's old sofa and BAM! you 've got a happy place!

XOXO,

Which Havaianas would Vampires wear?

Transcript of INTERVIEW with a VAMPIRE:
me: Hi Edward!Hi Bella! I'd like to ask you the question that is burning in everybody's minds? Do vampires wear flipflops and if so, what kind do you wear?




Edward: (all serious-like)Well, Sassy- contrary to some myths that vampires have cloven hoofs, we Cullen vampires have regular toes just like everybody else.
Bella; Oh Edward, you are so funny! Look at me... I'm laughing.... on the inside...




Edward: I've been vacationing in Isla Esme, off the coast of Brazil, for almost a century now and I discovered Havaianas in the early 1900's... wait... let me think.... oh yes! I think it was around 1930. I like to wear black...so my favorite are the black Havaianas Brazil.....




Bella: Oh Edward.... Take me to Isla Esme.... stare into my eyes and tell me you'll take me......



Edward: Hop on my motorcycle and I'll take you there. Let's stop by Sao Paulo so I can get you a Slim Havaianas Swarovski.....

Bella: Oh Edward! I am so excited! I want to jump for joy and dance the polka!



There you have it folks.... Vampires Wear Havaianas!

What about Werewolves?
