Love "Living In"

I LOVE Design Sponge's "Living In..." series. They are so good at capturing the tone and feeling of a film, and doesn't everyone want to feel like they live in movies they love?

The Godfather, of course, is a favorite.

Portia De Rossi

She is lovely and smart and beautiful, married to a lovely and smart and beautiful woman, and her appearance on the View was....pretty badass. Watch Here.

Michelle Obama is Ridiculously Beautiful

Look at our First Lady! She was divine at the State Dinner. No wonder the President always looks so smitten by her. For more photos, visit Mrs. O.

Gordon Willis

I had the unbelievable opportunity to attend a Q&A with legendary cinematographer Gordon Willis. This is a man who completely revolutionized how we look at movies and he was one of the most humble, clever, and fascinating people I have ever seen talk about their work. He's almost 80 years old and doesn't look a second over 60, and is so unpretentious you can really tell how much he really just loves movies. What an incredible experience.

PS: I sat about three feet in front of him :D

The Weekend

This weekend was one of those weekends that makes you feel like anything is possible and like you never want to be anywhere else but right where you are. 

Discovering new things in your new city, Day-long walks, Seeing and listening to one of your heroes and living geniuses speak three feet in front of you, Sunday morning runs to Whole Foods for eggs and bread, Running into friends while picking up eggs and bread at Whole Foods, Feeling the fall in the air, Collective cooking with perfect boyfriend, Laughing, Laughing, Laughing, Watching good movies...

...these are the things I loved about this weekend and it makes me excited for the many more good weekends to come.

Most Beautiful Book

This is one of the greatest, most beautiful books I have ever read. It is hopeful, inspiring, achingly elegant and a delight to read. Don't just take my word for it- Oprah loves it too, as does Diane Rehm, AND it just won the National Book Award. I think it makes for a lovely gift, too!

Congratulations Mr. McCann, for a beautiful book and for the much-deserved recognition.

PS: Listen to the Diane Rehm interview- it is thought-provoking, wise, and uplifting.

My idol.

She defines lovely, don't you agree?
