Finding film locations, as real New Yorkers do

Guest post written by Alexis Straughn

I thought that it would be a really fun anniversary trip for me and my husband if we went on a special weekend trip. One of the things that I thought of immediately was actually going to New York City. That's about the opposite of our normal lives. The point of trips is to experience new things, so that's exactly what we're going to do.

One of the things that we first fell in love over was our mutual love of movies. So that's the perfect place for us to go so we can see all these locations from movies that we love. While I was looking through some of those, I ran across the website HEARINGAIDSREVIEWS.com. After I looked through it a little bit, I decided to schedule an appointment to see about getting hearing aids for next week. I thought that it would be even more fun to go sightseeing with their help!

We're going to find some locations from Sex and the City, Ghostbusters and even You've Got Mail! Seeing those things wil be more exciting for us than things like Times Square.

VIDEO: Behind-the-scenes on Christy Turlington's Louis Vuitton shoot

Christy Turlington stars as the face of Louis Vuitton's glam jewels for the third season in a row, and we've just got our hands on this beautiful behind-the-scenes video.



The short clip sees the supermodel doing precisely what she does best on the set of the Autumn/Winter 2011 campaign, showcasing some seriously covetable statement jewellery.

Photographed by Steven Meisel, Ms Turlington is looking just as impossibly beautiful at the age of 42 as she did 20 years ago.

We suspect it's just down to good genes, but hers are beauty secrets we'd love to discover.

STRANGEBEAUTIFUL'S Questionable Nail Polish Shade: Weird Beauty

Add to Collections

    

STRANGEBEAUTIFUL Library of Color Volume 5. Photo: pulplab.com
RISD grad and genius behind nail brand STRANGEBEAUTIFUL, Jane Schub, has launched her fifth collection of nail polishes.
Inspired by the "spectral banks of the Hudson River estuary," Schub's Volume V Library of Color is an eccentric blend of highly-saturated and haunting shades. The 10-piece nail polish set uses some interesting names like "A Worn Black Bible" and "Gradation of Bruise," but the moniker "Menstral Last Day" had us scratching our heads. It's not exactly the most conventional of phrases, nor does it have us running out to try the rich burgundy hue. But maybe we're just a little uptight?

What about you? Would you dress up your fingertips in this nail color?

Want to know what a Designers obsessions are....?

J’adore: Emma Hill

Mulberry designer Emma Hill's obsessions.

By Karin Nelson

July 2011

Following the release of its new coffee-table book, Mulberry will open a SoHo flagship in September, its third retail outpost in Manhattan. Add to that an anniversary (40 and fabulous!) and through-the-roof sales, and the British luxury accessories brand has much to celebrate. Leading the cheer is creative director Emma Hill, a devout music fan, who recently threw a pool party during the Coachella festival. We asked her about her current obsessions.
HURTS
A friend of mine introduced me to this two-man British band, and they’ve since been on back-to-back replay on my iPod! They sound a little Eighties, but not pop-y. They sort of remind me of my angst-filled youth. And I love their style, with their suits and side-slicked hair.
MISS PIGGY’S GUIDE TO LIFE
A really dear friend gave me this book for my birthday. It’s from the early Eighties and out of print and just so genius. Every section is her guide to something: entertaining, manners, dating. I love the fashion section, which has a photo of Piggy wearing an Yves Saint Laurent cocktail dress and tips on how to mix and match. I live by her advice!
DIPTYQUE Paris FEU DE BOIS CANDLE
It’s such a delicious scent and has been my signature home smell for years. And Diptyque has made it even more brilliant now in a new superjumbo ceramic pot.
MY NEW BLACKBERRY TORCH IN WHITE
I love white, and I’m an Apple girl, so everything I use is white. But at Mulberry, we have to use BlackBerrys, so I was excited when this gorgeously glossy white phone came out. Plus, you can use apps on it, so I finally feel caught up with the rest of the world. I’m obsessed with Shazam, which tells you what song is playing, and that fat app that makes everyone look overweight. The aging one I find not so funny.
LUCAS’S PAPAW OINTMENT
I use it for everything—burns, bites, as lip gloss. It comes in this hippie-dippie packaging, and you can get it only in Australia, which in this day and age is sort of lovely. I was recently there and stocked up.
MINIATURE SCHNAUZERS
I so want a puppy and was into getting a French bulldog for a long time. But last season we sent a schnauzer down the runway, and I just fell in love with it. They seem very English to me.
SOLANGE AZAGURY-PARTRIDGE’S CHINESE ZODIAC RINGS
I’m not a big jewelry kind of person, but I just think Solange is amazing. I even wrote her a note to tell her. Her pieces are gorgeous and high end, but she has a fun and relaxed way of doing it. I already have the Pig, the Rooster, and the Rat. Now I’m working on getting the Dog, which is my son’s sign.

A Fashion Post from FashionAlbedo for Jaeger Fashions....

Tell me the truth: Is it love or is it just business?

After saving it from insolvency eight years ago, Harold Tillman is putting Jaeger London back on the market. Just like that.


It's living by the age-old 'buy old, sell high' principle that has earned Harold Tillman the title of 'rag trade expert'. Having purchased heritage brand Jaeger London from entrepreneur Richard Thompson for a comparatively paltry sum, eight years ago, he's expected to make a killing from its resale. Jaeger London currently operates 46 outlets across the UK with a total annual turnover of £86 million - a far cry from the time of its acquisition, when it registered a loss of £12 million.From a fashion lovers standpoint, it's like watching a poor infant (albeit a 127 year old one) drifting from one foster home to another. But Tillman has put in place measures to ensure the deal gets done right; investment bankers Rothschild will handle Jaeger's strategic options and bids that have been actually made for acquisition of the business over the past month.
But Jaeger is already showing signs of strength without its knighted benefactor. Recently, the company signed a partnership agreement with a Russian luxury brand distributor, Jamil Company, to launch its first outlets in Moscow.
