Lizie's Dream House

Heaven in Rosedale.

 She's a beautiful Georgian with great provenance, having only been owned by three families since it was built in the 1930's. 

The grand enterance

 Love the colour of this formal dinning room

Cozy, library/office.

The kitchen is a little meh! But I can probably live with it.

This is the Blue Room.  It's devine

 The current owner said you can see owls from this solarium.  Um sold!

You can't see the pool, but it is just there to the right in this shot.

 Oh yea did I mention it backs onto a ravine trail.  Here is the view from Milkman's Lane.

I mean, is that unreal or what. It's only eight million. No biggie.

High By the Beach

Beach anyone? 

Dayum...

Khloe is givin' me real 12th grade FYAH!  I have been feelin' Khloe a lot recently;  she's definitely thinspiration. And good on her for staying "mostly" classy during a tough time for her.  But this look is going far...

Another great ad from a non-profit

Pretty powerful stuff.

Tears.

The blonde is asks him if he has a coat.  He says, "it was stolen." 

 Later she asks him what school he goes to and who is meeting him as she offers him her sweater.  

Ski Ballet

Just wow!

Walker Evans is on my mind

WERK

Haunted is my current favourite song from the new Visual Album by Beyoncé.  Here is a video created by Beyoncé's choreographer Dana Fogila.  It's pretty rad.

Fall Feelings

Ungaro

Lanvin

Love the fall "suit" that can be worn with fur.

 Here are several examples of my absolute favourite looks this fall, the slouchy men's coat and the soft pale pinks and the muted greys.

Chloe

 Of course nobody does "New Look" as well as ...

Kardashians with Take-out Salad

Khloe, in headress eats takeout salad with Kourtney.

Khloe's klose-up.

Kourtney takes a bite from her take-out.

A rare sighting.  Older K's teaching younger K's the value of salad especially if it's take-out.

"Yes, it's Romaine, so what?"

Fallspirations

 This fall I'm seeing a lot of material mixes.  I love the juxtaposition of fur (faux or otherwise) and the army jacket.  Plus rocking boot and a demure handbag, make this outfit not only fun to look at but fun to wear too.

 While this look might at first glance seem a little bland the beauty is in the details and the understated elegance.  Love the ballet pink pumps and the cobalt blue purse.  They give this otherwise simple business casual look a bit of flare.  (That pink is going to be everywhere)

The shapes created here are really doing it for me. That long coat is to die for.  And the looser cut is very reminiscent of the 40's. Love the nod to men's wear happening in the soft and feminine palette.  

 Crop tops are everywhere right now.  And I like the playfulness of this sweater version.  Tartan pants and chunky shoes give this an updated 90's vibe.  Perfect, for before the weather turns.  And that sweater will transition to winter if worn over a fitted dress or a long sheath.

Here's another casually chic look this season, featuring the same silhouette of relaxed, but form fitted elegance.  The slouchy sweater jacket paired with the fitted jeans and narrow boots takes this look above and beyond.  And so comfy too! Plus love the hair.  

 I'm very into the Kardashians these days! Look out for a new art series coming to the blog this fall called Kardashians with takeout salads.  But I digress, here's Kim and Khloe rocking the seasons most beautiful neutral - PINK!  Khloe's hair is perfection, while Kim's is taking me a while to get used to.  But that skirt and the coat and dress below are Gorg!

Obsessed: Benefit Cosmetics

When I stopped working in an office environment a few years ag, my makeup  use significantly declined.  However, a bike accident this summer, which resulted in a small scar above my right eye,  and a new school year made me take stock of my collection and realize that I needed a few new products.  I've been a MAC devotee for years but while travelling I was reintroduced to Benefit Cosmetics.  I have been super happy with everything I got so I thought I would share it with y'all.

Primer has become a fad of late in the makeup world, but I have to say it makes a huge difference in the skin's quality and makeup's longevity.  I've been using the Benefit primer "that girl"  which creates an even and brighter looking complexion. I've also been using the eye primer "Stay, Don't Stray." Because of the scar on my eye having a primer that keeps my concealer working all day is a must.  Plus both of these products are light and airy and make my skin soft and supple.

The "Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow!" Foundations are a step up from tinted moisturizer but are still lighter than traditional foundations.  The liquid creates a smooth and light finish that doesn't look greasy and blends well.  Plus they all come with SPF 30, which should be required for foundations these days.  

For my fair complexion the "Dandelion" blush is perfection.  

I also bought "Hoola" to use as all over blush.  It's a little dark, and I am not sure if it really stacks up against Mac's Golden Bronzer, but it is pretty great, and smells divine!

Perhaps the best product at Benefit is the "they're Real." mascara.  You'll need a good eye makeup remover to take it off, but it is amazing, and makes your eyelashes look crazy long and full.

And of course...

Property Porn

SJP and Matthew Broderick bought this Greenwich Village townhouse last year as a flip project.  They paid $18.9 for it and it is now listed, after extensive renovations, for $25 million.  If they get it they will net a cool 6 mil. profit.  Check it out.  

The couple never moved into the house, according to the Daily Mail report.  

 Indicating they always saw the property as a flipper.

 Wouldn't you love to not cook in this beautiful kitchen.

Stunning.

Rare Manhattan outdoor space.

If I could I so would.  Anyone want to lend me a a few million dollars?

Flight of the Concords is.... PRESENT

YES.  I have missed these two - well three actually cause Murray is awesome.

My new favourite song - still spelling Canadian
