Be Mine

Part I: 2011 SAG Awards

I've always looked forward to the glamourous hollywood looks during the awards season.  We previously looked at two of my favorite pieces at the 2011 Golden Globes and here are my picks from this year's SAG Awards.

I love Rosario Dawson's youthful look here, in a J. Mendel pale yellow dress.  She not only looked comfortable and confident, her legs looked a mile long.

But my favorite part of her outfit are those true emerald green Susie Fox earrings.  The colors popped and really complimented her look.  I adore the cabochon cut gems and how they look like they're set onto mini crowns.

Miss Jenna Ushkowitz from Glee wore this jaw-dropping Neil Lane golden bib necklace.  I spent hours obsessively looking for more pictures of this regal piece.

Mila Kunas looked like a goddess in this floral Alexander McQueen dress.

And although I don't usually care for hot pink, I loved the way this dress hugs Jennifer Lawrence's figure.  It's such a different look for her and she's really pulling it off.  But this woman seems to be able to do anything - she spent the entire movie wearing dirty plaid shirts and covered in mud, blood, cuts and bruises in Winter's Bone yet still managed to look stunning.  Next up - she's playing Mystique in X-Men: First Class covered in blue paint and scales.  I can't wait.


Part II: Valentine's

We've had an enormous amount of snow here on the east coast just in the past weeks.  Misha found these creative snow by-products on her way home.  

This arm chair and telephone set sits directly across from...

...this lazy boy couch!  Such a cosy looking living room setup.

In my attempt to reintroduce good habits back into my life, I woke up this morning in pitch darkness to go to a morning yoga class.  When we got out it was already sunny out.  Combined with the adrenaline goodness from the exercise, it made a recipe for a great day.  Just a few weeks ago it would've been dark at 7 AM, or even as late as 8 AM!

Since it's almost Valentine's Day, I thought I'd feature a couple of my favorite pieces from the Luë collection - we all want to feel special and appreciated.  And I like pretty, shiny things.

Victorian Style Sterling Silver Ring by Luë Design
This intricately designed cocktail ring follows a delicate floral motif.  I love love love the clusters of freshwater pearls and the deep, rich red of the burmese rubies.  There's a secret to this ring  - it's actually a locket.  It's the perfect hiding spot for a sweet message.

Oval Moonstone Ring by Luë Design
Moonstone's one of my favorite stones.  Like labodrite, it's distinguished by the interplay of colors created by light reflecting off the internal inclusions.  This oval cabochon cut gem is translucent in color, but gives off a faint shade of blue under different light angles.  The marcasite catches light well and adds a subtle glamour to the entire piece.

Chain linked silver ring by Luë Design
I adore the clean lines of this sculptural unisex silver ring.  It's a statement piece by itself.  


Wishing you lots of happiness and love,
Seimi
