Natalie Portman wore this beautiful red dress by Rodarte in Venice last night for the world premiere of Black Swan. I am hoping to find a red dress this fall.

This is such a beautiful story by Maya Villinger.

I remember so clearly the day i first laid eyes on the Sofia for Vuitton bag collection. I was living in LA and i made a special trip in my station wagon to the store in Beverly Hills. I saw this suede beauty and my mind was made up - it was my PERFECT bag, the shape, the size, the way you could carry it neatly with two handles or totally carefree slung over one shoulder. I held it for a long time that day - i made the mistake of asking the price - i knew it was a pipe dream but hearing those numbers confirmed it. I put it firmly back on the counter. I’d like to say that was it, that i forgot all about it - but no. I visited it and visited it again - just to make sure there was still one available, just to keep my dream alive. I i talked about it and talked about it some more, i had a picture pinned to my wall, i said things like ‘if i had that bag i’d never need another’ - and, well, my husband, i guess he listened. Cos i came home two Fridays ago and there, nearly as big as my living room, was a LV shopping bag sitting on our chair - um, aaaaaaamazing. So here it is, my new bag at the beach, it’s already been to NZ and back - i LOVE it and man, Derek, i LOVE you.
