pijamas for my macbook air

Pijama out of Milan makes cases for ipads, iphones and macbooks. I first spotted them at Madewell, who only carries the ipad and iphone versions. Not only do they come in great fabrics but they are very well padded. And as much as I love the iWooly sold at Canoe, I really needed more padding in the very likely scenario that my bag gets dropped or otherwise jarred.
They ship internationally. Check them out.

Oscars - my best dressed

 Jessica Chastain looked amazing in this Alexander McQueen dress that most likely looked a little scary on the rack. And loved that she wore her hair down. My best dressed.

 My number two of the night was definitely Milla Jovovich in Elie Saab Couture.

 And while I don't think I would ever wear this dress, as an overall look Michelle Williams killed it in Louis Vuitton (although I could've done without the bow detail on the waist).

 My honorable mention went to Rooney Mara in Givenchy couture. I do agree that it could've been tailored better for her, as many have commented. The back of the dress is nonetheless stunning.

As for Gwyneth Paltrow and her Tom Ford cape-dress -- I thought it was kind of adventurous but not really. Of all the dresses in the world...and she wears a cape?

Celine homage

( from garance dore )

It's hard not to lust after Celine right now, especially since it seems like a very short moment in time that Phoebe Philo is having there.  In other words, I would love to snap up one of her timeless designs because there's no telling when she will disappear into the abyss again.

Spring 2012 Runway

Preppy Sunglasses in honey

Classic Medium Flap Bag in forest

Colorblock Clutch/Pouch in hibiscus

Petite Gourmette in suede jade

Gourmette in suede patchwork

all other pictures from Celine. And unfortunately no prices, since Celine does not sell online. Safe to assume that bags are 1500+ euros.

Isabel Marant Jenny boot

Love the new Isabel Marant Jenny boot, part of the SS12 collection. Somehow Isabel Marant has figured out a way to make a manly boot cute and girly.
$580 at Barneys online (only available in Anthracite- dark grey.)
Or La Garconne has the Taupe for pre-order (pictured).

Rooney Mara in Givenchy

Although I'm still not sure how I feel about Rooney Mara as Lisbeth Salander in the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (I loved Noomi Rapace in the Swedish version), I loved the Givenchy white cutout dress she wore to the NYC premiere. Delicate and tough all at the same time! And the detail shots really show what a work of art this dress is. Kudos to Rooney Mara's stylist, well done. Very much looking forward to seeing David Fincher's take on this dark thriller.
