“Supermodels of the ’70s and ’80s” is the title of the new exhibition from photographer Timothy Greenfield-Sander’s showing at the Steven Kasher Gallery in Chelsea, New York.

The body of work includes well known supermodels from the era such as Beverly Johnson, Kim Alexis, Cheryl Tiegs, and Christie Brinkley.

Timothy writes: “I have always been interested in how we deal with aging in our hopelessly ‘youth oriented’ society. These women, now in their fifties, were once the reigning queens of American beauty. As ultimate icons of world-wide marketing, I knew their stories would be extraordinary and I wanted to hear what they had to say. For the portraits, I used my 8×10 Deardorff and also filmed a documentary of interviews and mise-en-scene.”

Last night we all witnessed the best in the music industry on the biggest red carpet music event even of the year – and sure many people are still talking about the wins and upsets, but we’re talking about the frocks, locks and makeup.

And of course kudos to Lady Gaga for keeping up with the Adams family as usual.
The lady is sharp- no really, she could cut somebody.

Beige and nudes were a prominent color of the night.

Looks like the Good Girl Gone Bad , went back to good for one night in this beautiful all white dress by Elie Saab.

In other news Britney looked like a hot tranny-mess in a black see though dress.really not worth posting a photo here.

And oh – the boys were looking really good!

And the peas where in the house…

It’s the return of old school elegance. Yes, modern cordless phones fulfill our needs for mobility and multitasking – but we’re going back to a time when things were less high paced – where you actually sat beside the telephone and enjoyed the conversation in your favorite chair.

And to do just that here are some cool retro phones that are sure to bring back memories or make you want to kick your foot up and make that long overdue call.

I was shopping in the Marais this Saturday at random Japanese inspired store and saw the cutest vintage phone, immediately set me on a search for old school phones, like the hamburger one used in JUNO.

Located in the heart of Paris beside L’Eglise St.Eustache, at the intersection of Rue Montmartre and Rue Montorgueil you’ll find this non-intrusive restaurant that cooks up American and French classics alike.

I stopped by for lunch and had their Lunch Special for 12Euros – includes starter(or desert), main course and drink.

I wasn’t feeling very experimental so I went for the Poluet Roti avec Frites ( Roasted Chicken with Fries) and was pleasantly surprised to find that its not like any normal tasting “French style” rotisserie chicken…it tasted more like American BBQ chicken and as for the sauce that went with it – I wanted to buy a bottle.

The ambiance is mixed – tourists, business people and families – and they do have a kids menu.

They also have a long bar, if you’re more interested in just having drinks and a terrace if you prefer eating outside.

Jet-Lag Paris is a cozy restaurant located in the Les Halles area that has good tasting food at a reasonable price. At nights the atmosphere gets more lively with music.

Yummy

Great to see a styling with basic jeans. Looks like we’ll still be wearing our boyfriend jeans way into the summer! Other trends include the Feminine theme, blues, pastels, cream and lace.

Wish I had a detail shot of those heels – they are lace covered and oh so lovely. A day ago I saw that they put the open toed flat versions out too.

will do a Lookbook Love post later. till then check out the new collection here.
