Looking ahead to 2012 the Panotone people say are mad about tangerine this year. As a fan of the color orange I’m happy to get behind this trend.

So what to you think. Will you be doing the tangerine tango come 2012?

It’s a new day and I’m putting my best foot forward to get into the swing of things on this hump day.

How are you swinging today?

I can’t wait to see this documentary on New York Times Photographer Bill Cunningham. His On The Street scenes are works of art.

Happy Friday!

I love this fun video of Vogue’s Hamish Bowles and New York Knick Amar’e Stoudemire in a game of hoops (well sort of hoops).

Enjoy.

Just putting this out there

Again.

So did you watch last night? No matter it was dullsville in quite a few parts. Honestly, to me the Red Carpet was more lively than the actual show. Here are my favorite Red Carpet looks:

Loving Natalie looking pregnant and beautiful, Mila gorge, Hailee so sweet and Anne loving the red.

Halle, Kate, Celine and Camila (girlfriend of Matthew McConaughey) hit it out of the park with their looks. I so want that black gown. And I’m giving a special nod to Kate for making me look twice before I decided her dress was really a work of art. Thanks Kate for not playing it safe.

Down here Jennifer, Gwyn, Amy and Nicole sadly don’t make the best list. They do get E’s for effort but there is something a little off with each look that keeps them for hitting their marks.

So all of NY was a twitter last night over the premier at Madison Square Garden of the newest Knick Carmelo Anthony but it seems Carmelo was upstaged and Twitter was a twitter by veteran Knick and announcer Walt “Clyde” Frazier and his stunning tiger print jacket. Did you know that GQ has called Walt a style icon? Oh yes they did.

 He’s got the flash and the dash!

But here…All I can say is Hold That Tiger.

On the other hand, Walt has me thinking these shoes are kinda hot. Darn I’m torn now.

This is a complaint note I felt I had to write this morning, or not move on:

Dear Pretty Of The Moment Online Fashion House:

An avid blog reader and blogger myself, I found your site through a blog recommendation and was very excited to give it a look. Being a big fan of classic styles and the striped boatneck in particular, I wanted to order yours. Sadly, I was extremely upset to see that your size large is a size 8. I really don’t understand that size structure. Coming from a fashion background my feeling is size M should be 8-10 and L 12-14. I think your size Large being a size -8 and having it be your final size is very limited sizing and excludes a lot of women. This makes me wonder if that is your point intentional or not. It saddens me as a woman and as a mother of a teen girl in this day and age when girls are dealing so much and having to overcome assaults on their body images in the media every day. I think you have a beautiful site, full of great product and wonderful design but I would encourage you to rethink your sizing structure to be more inclusive.  And to get a new customer.  Thank you.

Kwana Jackson

P.S. I won’t say the name of house here but I did send them the note. I encourage you to do the same with other places if you encounter this problem. Why go through life feeling that you are the problem? It’s NOT you. It’s THEM!!!!

I’m loving the Book clutch by Olympia Le-Tan that Natalie Portman is holding here at her New York Black Swan premier.

Here are a few more from a slide show from The Telegraph with more of Olympia’s cool clutches. Makes it so hard to choose which one I like the best to add to my wish list for Santa Baby. Which would you choose?

As if I really need a reason…

Well I don’t know if I’ll get to the city tonight but I have requested that my DH pick me up a tee shirt during his lunch break today. I hope he remembers.
