Last night Jonathan Scott and twin brother Drew, aka "<i>The Property Brothers</i>" (HGTV) shared the "green" carpet with 2 other family members... little Gracie and Stewie! They were all attending the <a href="http://www.cwtv.com/world-dog-awards/">World Dog Awards</a> (airing on Thursday January 15th at 8pm/7C on CW). I love these guys!

Well, wearing it with a Porsche as an accessory isn't bad - even if it is just inside the showroom!<br />
<br />
Click <a href="http://bcove.me/1hm2rgkp">here </a> (sorry for the 18 seconds of ad) for suggestions on how to wear Pantone's color of the year... I personally love the first look! The jewel colors and the pattern are elegant and fun.<br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; line-height: 18px;">It is that time of year again when Pantone announces the color of the year. This year, on December 5th, a purple - more precisely - "Radiant Orchid"was selected. It is described by Pantone Executive Director Leatrice Eiseman as "An enchanting harmony of fuchsia, purple and pink undertones, Radiant Orchid inspires confidence and emanates great joy, love and health. It is a captivating purple, one that draws you in with its beguiling charm.”</span></span><br />

I recently came across a great new site and had to share - it's called <a href="http://www.letterheady.com/">Letterheady </a>and has a fabulous collection of images showcasing letterheads of those in the business - look for <a href="http://standardculture.com/posts/6993-Lena-Dunham-s-Chateau-Inspired-Stationary">Lena Dunham</a>/Steven Spielberg/Marilyn Monroe/Rolling Stones/Ghandi - worth the time to peruse and it is so much fun! See if it inspires you and your personal paper style...<br />

I have missed you all! So busy with invitations and life that I took a little break -- but now I am back. And today it is just about love... in fact, I have recently learned that someone who makes a career out of married couples has become a big fan - thanks so much for the attention Ms. N! <br />
<br />
Anyway, so as we come into the last quarter of 2012, we are looking at a lot of couples stationery... don't miss out! Here's one we did for a new cool couple who just tied the knot! The other photo above is just an homage to my guy...<br />

It was a real treat, a retrospective on the American photographer, Berenice Abbott, who spent many years in Paris, in the 1920s, socializing and working with many of the great intellectuals and artists of the time. To quote from the program description:<br />
<br />
<i><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px; text-align: left;">The exhibition also features a substantial selection of images form her </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;">Changing New York</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px; text-align: left;"> project (1935-1939), for which she is best known. This undertaking was Abbott’s own initiative but was financed by the Works Progress Administration, part of Roosevelt’s New Deal efforts to combat the Great Depression. Conceived as both a record of the city and a work of art in its own right, this ambitious government commission focuses on the contrast between the old and the new in the rapidly changing city.</span></i><br />
<i><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px; text-align: left;"><br /></span></i><br />
I love the subject and <a href="http://www.commercegraphics.com/ny.html">her images</a> are an incredible record of the City during the early 1930s.<br />
<br />
And, of course this invitation was eye catching - an 1926 exhibit of her portrait work.<br />

Yesterday I was lucky enough to view Gilbert & George's new series, London Pictures, in NY at the <a href="http://www.sonnabendgallery.com/">Sonnabend Gallery</a>. I say lucky not just because I got to experience the work, but also to meet and chat with the "artist". I refer to the 2 men as one artist as they are a collaborative team and are amongst Britain's most important artists. 292 originals in this series, a "townscape" of London and commentary of our urban society - all taken (literally) from <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/dustbinman/1141643601/">sandwich boards</a>/newspapers headlines displayed on the streets of London over a 6 year period.<br />
<br />
Click on the gallery above for more on this exhibit and the meaning (and better shots). Click<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gilbert_%26_George"> here </a>for more on Gilbert and George. Carol, Phlaxy and Anne, thanks for great company!<br />

I am inspired by the different emotions a certain typeface can evoke. I love the drama, the whimsy, the playfulness of some and the sophistication of others. Steve Jobs was enamored with calligraphy and typeface as well and his study of this art played well into his style and product design at Apple. While I certainly have not yet achieved his type of success, I can relate to his interest in the subject.<br />
In his own words, the quote below is Steve Jobs discussing a calligraphy class he took at Reed College after he dropped out:<br />
<br />
<i>"I learned about serif and sans serif typefaces, about varying the amount of space between different letter combinations, about what makes a great typography great. It was beautiful, historical, artistically subtle in a way that science can't capture, and I found it fascinating."</i><br />
(From Walter Isaacson's <i>Steve Jobs</i> biography, page 41.)<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">I think it is pretty cool to design a new typeface and I admire the talent of graphic artists who can create a brand new view of the alphabet. (For fun and to view some new fonts, click </span><a href="http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2011/08/02/new-high-quality-free-fonts/" style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">here</a><span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">.) </span></div><div><span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">Additionally, I get intrigued by various art forms using letters and fonts. So, when I came across some recent work of </span><a href="http://atelierpariri.blogspot.com/" style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">Jérôme Corgier</a><span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">, a Parisian graphic artist (who recently won the Communication Arts award for his design of the New York Times Style Magazine Cover - see above), I was drawn to the work. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhx9wicxYy6LAKzkz3ALFxwipnsDY5ixUzPwZwNMzIPVGw6SlPQISzhfUh8ATzQFi4Om2Iv2xmwK4ruLe71jYcaFgzS2DnA7J3Cr-K_1a-rHYE1FsO6Co3WeXkyRa8S9iD1HcHTc7ldAbE/s1600/2_MG_3667bisIsItweb.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhx9wicxYy6LAKzkz3ALFxwipnsDY5ixUzPwZwNMzIPVGw6SlPQISzhfUh8ATzQFi4Om2Iv2xmwK4ruLe71jYcaFgzS2DnA7J3Cr-K_1a-rHYE1FsO6Co3WeXkyRa8S9iD1HcHTc7ldAbE/s400/2_MG_3667bisIsItweb.jpeg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;"> <a href="http://atelierpariri.blogspot.com/">Jérôme</a> creates a 3 dimensional type in the form of a paper sculpture. Mixing letters from Latin and Arabic alphabets, making paper cut outs of the same - with color - he blurs the line between art and function. The letters still have meaning but the meaning is different now, the form flows into a type of art. I can't decide if I really like it but I am interested in it. <a href="http://imprint.printmag.com/daily-heller/type-thats-not-type-or-is-it/">Want to see more?</a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

</div>Well, I had my tickets in hand for <a href="http://www.mbfashionweek.com/">NY Fashion Week</a> shows but never made it over due to other more pressing and unexpected matters. So instead, I only watch from afar. I have seen photos of huge hats, romantic and goth makeup, graphic patterns and color combos with fall fashions trending toward a more subtle palette than Spring. What some people wore - <a href="http://www.whowhatwear.com/website/full-article/what-they-wore-new-york-fashion-week/">click here to see</a> - my favs, in beautiful blues, are Zoe Saldana and Hanneli Mustaparta; the rest - not so much.<br />
<br />
Well, that is what is to come.<br />
<br />
What is happening now...with the Pantone color of the year being a feisty tangerine, we can all get in the mood for lots of sunset colors and intense fashions. (Of course you can find desert/dune back drops of color playing nicely off of the hot hues.) The Pantone spring color report on<a href="http://www.pantone.com/pages/fcr.aspx?pg=20910&ca=4"> fashion colors is here</a>. Happy energy with a kick.<br />
<br />
And, today, with the mild winter at hand on the east coast, jacket-less children (they are never cold anyway!) and spring fashions on display, I thought I would share my favorite current spring trends: intense color, color blocking, animal print pants (leopard is and has been my go to print) and ladylike and romantic florals. A sampling...<br />

For the nails, while I always like the fashion forward looks from Butter London (and their good for you ingredients), I am really loving <a href="http://www.realstylenetwork.com/blogs/beauty/2011/10/chanel-nail-polish-spring-2012/"> Chanel</a>'s Spring/Summer colors, aptly named April May and June.<br />

My personal wish list for Spring: A lace hot pink dress, an orange top to go with... anything... and a pair of turquoise animal print jeans to wear with some towering black shoes. Expect to see my nails in Chanel's May or maybe June. I am also thinking of adding a pop of color to my husband's closet.<br />

</div>Well, it keeps getting better and better! Fresh snow and <a href="http://www.deervalley.com/">Deer Valley Resort</a>'s finest efforts meant we could all enjoy skiing during opening weekend - December 3rd. The event accommodations were at the fabulous<a href="http://www.montagedeervalley.com/"> Montage</a> Deer Valley and <a href="http://www.jumatv.com/">JUMA Entertainment</a>* created yet another top notch event (and much sought after invite). The show aired last Sunday on CBS and the event helped to raise funds for Bobby Kennedy Jr.'s charity <a href="http://www.waterkeeper.org/">Waterkeeper Alliance</a>. It was a weekend filled with fun, food, skiing, parties, celebrities and all for a great cause - the environment. And, MARY J. BLIGE and GAVIN DEGRAW performed live in an intimate setting - now that was awesome. Take a look at some highlights and fun. I couldn't mention everyone or put in all the photos or I might lose ya! Don't forget to watch Larry David's piece and also Gavin below.<br />
<br />
And look for the event again next year - first weekend in December!<br />

And I got to watch him - Cakeman, not my husband - decorate it before my eyes; he worked effortlessly and within a few minutes - viola! -beautiful. And it gets better because when it melts in your mouth you cannot believe you waited this long to try the original red velvet cake. My suggestion: go get some - he makes over 5000 cakes a month!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br />
<br />
What does red velvet cake taste like? Some say like chocolate cake - well there is some resemblance but it is not just a red chocolate cake. For me - it is the texture that makes it stand apart.<br />
<br />
<i>"A real "southern treat", described as an aphrodisiac dessert, deep in its bright redness and buttery crumb texture accents the sweet cream cheese frosting, mellowing out the pecan oils from the crusted pecan garnish.</i><br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
<i>After the first bite, you're hooked!"</i><br />

Here are a few shots on location in Brooklyn with JUMA execs and crew - watch for upcoming TV show. I will keep you posted but in the meanwhile, let them eat cake!<br />
