Mmmmm, beautiful C's.  Whenever I see this logo I get a slight pang in my stomach-knowing that Chanel makes some of the best clothing and purses that would look absolutely fabulous on me but I still have yet to afford them...sigh.  

BUT, some fun news: Karl Lagerfeld has chosen Blake Lively as the official face of the “MADEMOISELLE” handbag line. It was posted on Chanel's site (how many times can I type 'Chanel'?  Let's count)* that "Her spontaneity and fresh, youthful image have convinced Chanel that she is the right person to represent the house and this range of bags".  Hmmm, interesting.  Makes sense though.  She's insanely pretty and totally convincing as Serena Vanderwoodsen in Gossip Girl, even if her role in The Town was not.  But, who cares?!  Chanel is definitely uptown and doesn't usually concern Southies ;)

Hello Kitty is coming to Sephora!  

And from the looks of it there will be lots of pink involved-horrah!

VS.

Ok, so I didn't watch the Golden Globes.  They're not nearly as fun as the Academy Awards and I see enough of movie stars taking credit for entire films more often than I'd like to (must be the film student in me).

BUT, I was in total shock to see this photo of EMMA freaking STONE on the red carpet.  She looks like a young Sharon Stone, don't you think?  (though they both claim there is no relation).  Well played, girl!  You may have a lisp, a small lack of tact (after stating to a reporter at the event “I am super bored.  This is the worst.  Yuck.  I am going home.  No, I am!”), and unable to snag a best actress award-but at least you were nominated!  AND you are looking MARVELOUS in that peachy Calvin Klein dress!

Otto Enoteca Pizzeria, one of Mario Batali's delicious creations in the West Village is everything I hoped it would be.  Months after hearing about the creative pizza's and outstanding wine list, I made the trip myself.   And I have to say, Otto will now be put in my rotation of fun and tasty places to eat (especially when friends come to visit).
