Drew Barrymore in Cobweb McQueen: Love It or Hate It?

Drew Barrymore is no stranger to extreme, psychedelic fashion.

Drew Barrymore is no stranger to extreme, psychedelic fashion. For the Whip It premiere at the Toronto Film Festival, the quirky actress donned a black and yellow webbed creation from Alexander McQueen and peep-toe heels from Casadei — notice how they complement her new black tips! The color is cheerful, like Drew, and the webbing detail is totally unique. It takes a certain personality to pull off McQueen's eccentric creations, do you think she succeeded?

Nice and New: Ikea's 2009 Catalog Is Online

It's about that time again.

It's about that time again. Ikea's new 2009 catalog arrived in my mailbox last week and I spent a good 40 minutes gawking at all of the beautifully styled and photographed rooms, and now it's available for you to flip through online.
The big-box retailer may sell mostly flat-pack, assembly-required MDF furniture that's not the sturdiest I've ever owned, and they may charge an arm and a leg for shipping, but I will give it to Ikea for consistently emerging with eye-catching designs and photography styled to the nines. I'm at a point where I'm honestly trying only to bring home timeless, durable furniture that I can pass on to my kids one day, but when it comes to some accents, and textiles especially, Ikea never fails to win me over —
without breaking the bank. If I'd never seen their products in person, they could have fooled me: their new inventory is quite photogenic, appearing luxe, vivid, and perhaps most importantly, inspiring, on all 300-some pages.
