Almost Christmas Crush....


The holidays are among us & I'm full of Almost Christmas Crushes!! And you? What's your Santa List composed of? Amongst all of the following fabu items which I've listed today, I must tell you that the greatest of these are moments which cannot be written. Moments whose depth & beauty cannot be confined within mere typed black & white letters. These moments I shall keep to myself & share with you someday when we meet over cups of EarlGray
(where we can discuss our crushathons in 3D format)

oooooooo and
P.S.
Dear Santa, I am dreaming of a certain Darling, vintage black bicycle & a snappy red jumpsuit (or something gloriously Sophia Loren-ish for milling around in Rome )

Completely addicted to the produce section. Isn't it magical? Always best before 9am .
Often on a free day I will walk to the nearest market & saunter through the produce section (before it's been picked, mismatched & disarrayed by shopping hands)
The colors, the smell!! So divine.

DECADES Haute Couture Vintage Resale Melrose Ave Los Angeles, CA
Visit now! A museum in which to shop for classics of days gone by.
I would live here (if only long enough to actually Try ON everything inside)
Where else can you find almost affordable vintage Halston circa '75 ?? ;)


GUYS & DOLLS because yes, Musicals are my anecdote to Reality.
Not a huge fan of all things realistic...Ooh maybe I've mentioned this before?? ;)

SNL hottie alert Will Forte. Gorgeous AND Funny?? win win.



Photography to SWOON over. The amazing Michal Stachowski is brilliance indeed.



So many lovely things made of velvet in this world, but the greatest of these is surely the VOICE of John Legend. More More More please... Simply loving his albums more everyday.



The Mumbai you should see.

What's not to love about a gorgeous Neurosurgeon who just happens to be a leading CNN television personality with panache? Yes I love Dr. San jay Gupta. I'll admit it.
And yes, I'm a wee bit addicted to CNN. Seems I'm not alone, as there is a complete website dedicated to Gupta ran by "The Gupta Girls".
yes, Yes there it.


Sound Crush. Needle static. The sound a record player makes when the record is through. It ranks up there with my favorite "awe" time sounds.


Chic times of Yesteryear TODAY.
The Hotel Boulderado. Concierge with class.

& dinner served here is equal to Titanic style Glamour
(minus the catastrophic ending)


the LOVE Teapot by Mariage Freres Paris.... CRUSH it.



Billie Holiday Remixes. It's Classic Billie only current fresh style.
I hope she would approve. I CANNOT get enough of Billie Remix.



Ridiculously overdone Glass Sculptures & Mimosas (Please do NOT forget the mimosas)


My Rockefeller Center
(yes..it's true, I OWN New York)


Fabulously handpainted Mannequins from nostalgiccorner.com




Because Annie has the E Y E











Leslie Caron . ESPECIALLY in GiGi.
GiGi Midnight Movie Marathon Madness

Shu Uemura Holiday Sets are Dreamy



All things Miss CoCo.


And The Minetta Tavern Restaurant. Greenwich West Village NYC.
Good Enough for Ernest Hemingway roughdrafts &
Still Around for a Birdee or 2 like me for a tiny bit of
lyric scribble scribble ;)

And the Crush Goes On...
