Gift Guide: The Arrested Adolescent
If you have some friends who can't get enough of Hello Kitty lamps or tongue-in-cheek embroidered throw pillows when it comes to decorating their homes, don't despair, embrace it! Some of my favorite friends' abodes are peppered with fun accessories from Kid Robot, Upper Playground, Sanrio, and other hip and youthful stores. Maybe you don't want your pals to take the theme as far as they did at the Hello Kitty gate lounge in Terminal 2 of the Taipei International Airport, but I think some fun, arrested adolescent accents in a home can provide a lovely youthful spirit.

2010 Critics' Choice Awards: Saoirse Ronan
The Lovely Bones star Saoirse Ronan arrived at the festivities in a multicolored print dress. Her metallic accents — via silver specks on her frock and gold booties — are appropriate for such a youthful spirit. Are you feeling it?
Vivienne Tam Launches Upholstery Furniture Collection
Fashion force Vivienne Tam is taking her modern Chinoiserie home — to your home. She's partnered with Rowe Furniture to create a new collection of custom upholstery furniture, including multiple sofa groupings and accent pieces. While designing furniture is a natural extension for many fashion designers, I think Tam's strength lies in textiles, so I'm excited to see a range of exclusive fabric designs used in the collection.
Cleese Calls Palin a "Parrot" & Gossip Girl Stumps for Obama
Perhaps it's because dear old dad hails from the land of Cleese, or because that accent can make anything sound measured and thought out, this video of John Cleese on Sarah Palin caught my attention this morning. His pointed commentary on Palin comes as the Troopergate probe expands and at one of her becoming-signature enthusiastic rallies yesterday, Palin mistook a group of supporters for protesters. The crux of Cleese's argument is that if one were to take the whole of Europe, regardless of political persuasion, one wouldn't find "5 percent" who think she's good enough to run the US.Beauty Byte: Marc Jacobs Launching Daisy Fragrance
It's no secret that FabSugar loves Marc Jacobs, as do millions of other young fashionistas. I'm also a fan, particularly of Jacobs' Splash fragrance line. Now, Women's Wear Daily tells us that Jacobs' next scent, called Daisy, will be released in August.
Trend Alert: Chalkboards
It's back-to-school season, and even if you haven't been a student in ages, now is the ideal time to get out the chalk. From chalkboard paint to write-on vases, chalk-worthy surfaces are showing up on all sorts of home accents for both kids' rooms and adult decor.
Not only do I love the retro schoolhouse vibe of these products, but they are also a practical way to write yourself reminders, label (and re-label) boxes, or just keep the kids occupied.
Paris Fashion Week, Fall 2007: Chanel
Here is Karl Lagerfeld's winter wonderland. And what a joy it is! The Chanel Fall 2007 collection was not as jaw dropping as the sharp, masterfully black and white Spring collection but it was yummy nonetheless.
