I am absolutely over the moon about Finnish native Johanna Uurasjarvi clothes. She's all about Scandinavian fashion with Parisian flair. Each shot is styled beautifully and I am left wanting to know more about the women wearing the clothes.

Nude Shoes
Some say beige is boring, but in a pump it can be beyond sexy. It can add length to your legs and sophistication to your look.

All that Glitters is Gold: Alexis Bittar
I am drawn to shiny objects, destined to surround and wrap myself in them, so it is no surprise that I love Alexis Bittar's designs. He's a recipient of the 2010 CFDA (Council of Fashion Designers of America) Accessory Designer of the Year award for successfully mixing high-art craftsmanship and street style. Here are some new and old pieces to drool over, lucky you if you own one of Bittar's pieces.

Pendant Envy
I have a stylish coworker who wears the most amazing rhinestone encrusted claw pendant. It doesn't matter what she pairs it with, a floaty blouse, a striped tee or a cashmere sweater, it always seems to complete her outfit and take it to a new level. Here are four showstoppers that will help you achieve an equally hip look.

Illuminate My Space
Without a doubt these vintage brass light fixtures would make a room. All the lights are from the extensive collection at 1stdibs.com.

Crime of Passion
Yesterday, my 6-year-old son committed a major infraction at school. His crime: stealing a kiss from a fellow first grader.
His teacher told me with complete seriousness that he had violated a young ladies personal space, planted one on her cheek and fled the scene. He was sentenced to write a formal apology. Hmmm, I would have loved to see that note, “the fat cat likes rats", since he can’t spell “sorry” or “personal space”.
It goes without saying that I will be spending the weekend rehabilitating my little delinquent. Happy Friday!
Better With Each Year
My adoration of Linda Evangelista goes back to 1990 when she uttered those notorious words, "We don't wake up for less than $10,000 a day"... and just look at her she gets better with each year. Here she is at the AmFar Milano fashion week event. Breathtaking.
Her latest campaign for Talbots Fall collection clearly demonstrates why she is still in the business after all these years.
Beauty Break: Long Lasting Gloss
I feel compelled to sing the praises of Lancôme's 'La Laque Fever' Lip Shine. It has pigment and stays put. Like no gloss I have ever tried. I love it.
