Joanna Newsom is a harpist, singer-songwriter, land animal, wood nymph, distant cousin of San Francisco mayor Gavin Newsom, and girlfriend of Saturday Night Live’s Andy Samberg. There is an ethereal, child-like quality about her that makes her seem like she is not of this planet. However, how many wood nymphs do you see wearing a pair of Christian Louboutin heels while playing the harp? More »

Remember that Vivienne Tam HP laptop that I was salivating over a month ago? It’s finally here and available for purchase! Here’s the main site where you can order and the facebook event for more information. If you place an order by Dec. 12, you can get one just in time for holiday giving.

This laptop is part of HP’s “The Computer is Personal Again” campaign. Frankly I’m not sure how personal this is really getting if thousands of other people have the exact same machine with the exact same designs, but I definitely see how they’re catering to a much more specific interest group that isn’t usually associated with tech savviness. It’s a big appeal for girls like me who squeal over Google’s high tech phones just as much as Vivienne Tam’s Spring 2009 collection’s peony floral prints. They seem to get that too, saying “this special edition notebook seeks to satisfy the highly mobile, Internet-centric fashionista.”

Features to consider before you buy: 10.2-inch diagonal BrightView display (very small), fashionable wallpaper (super cute), 8-color finish and custom slip cover (practical), priced at $699 (relatively cheap). The small size will probably comprimise the quality of the computer’s speed, functions, and storage space, but that’s why it’s a digital clutch - you’re only supposed to carry the essentials in this discreet, gorgeous looking little bag that will look fabulous even during a night out on the town. Not sure if you want a laptop with you when you go clubbing, but the concept is close ;)

Someone asked if I own the heels pictured in my Heel Compendium post. Unfortunately I don’t (some of those are really hot though so I wish), but I thought I’d showcase a few that I DO own so that I can try to use that guide to break down what’s going on style-wise with these pairs of shoes. It’s like taking off the fashionista training wheels lol.

Anyway so these are my four favorite pairs of heels, each representing a different heel type. I literally picked them out of my closet, stuck them on my window ledge, and took pictures of them in the morning light (hence all the romantic soft blue light). They’re all on the relatively newer/less-used side of my shoe collection. More »
