Thom Filicia dispels myth no. 6
I know we started with no. 2, then no. 12, and we are now on no. 6 on Thom Filicia’s Dress My Nest tips—but that’s the order we’ve been given permission to post them in. As of last night, Thom has been dispelling another interior-decorating myth on our home page: that furniture has to be […]
The Sarkozy–Bruni romance is in the Zeitgeist
Nicolas Sarkozy, the President of France, is enjoying a heck of a publicity honeymoon. First, he won the election. Then, he went to the US and gave a speech to the Joint Houses that had everyone from Dubya to Hillary applauding. His speech citing Israeli–Palestinian peace a few days ago was largely well received. And now, […]
Thom Filicia dispels myth no. 12
Thom Filicia uses a good fashion analogy here in his latest design tip on our home page today. Myth no. 12: there’s no need for there to be a single pattern in a room. This one should make immediate sense to anyone browsing this site. […]
[Cross-posted] Cadillac will head Down Under, according to General Motors–Holden’s boss Chris Gubbey. It makes sense: the brand is well known despite not having retailed here postwar, thanks to American media, President Bush and The Matrix Reloaded. GM has been making right-hand-drive Caddys for some time for the Japanese and the British. And with […]
Thom Filicia dispels myth no. 2: that all furniture must match
Here’s today’s MyStyle.com clip. I love how Thom Filicia from Dress My Nest dispels another myth about interior design. This episode’s myth: all furniture should match. Thom says, ‘Cobblers!’ (Not that exact word: his statements are far better, as you’ll see below.) […]
Summer Rayne Oakes one of Amica’s top 20 trend-setters
I think it’s way cool when another magazine calls one of your own one of its 20 most in?uential trend-setters under 40. And this is out of a global sample of people. Congratulations, Summer Rayne, for making it into Amica’s list! It’s much deserved—and yet another example of how we’ve been ahead of the curve. […]
Hayden Panettiere speaks on environmental literacy
This is a clip with Hayden Panettiere from Heroes, where she speaks very briefly about the environment. I’m not entirely sure of the context—sometimes we just get links to these things—but I assume it’s the end of a speech. I do know this is part of the Forecast Earth Summit which the Weather Channel hosted. […]
Maybelline appoints Jessica White as new spokesmodel
Model Jessica White, a Brooklyn, NY native best known for her appearances in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue and, from 2006, on the Victoria’s Secret catwalk, has been appointed the new face of Maybelline. White said in a release today that she was delighted to represent African–American women and the Maybelline brand, alongside her idol Christy […]
Lucire editor-at-large Summer Rayne Oakes discusses eco-fashion and responsibly produced beauty products at Live Earth, in this video posted to YouTube over the weekend. […]
In Lucire issue 24, one of my criticisms about the Quadrant Hotel in Auckland was directed at the table. This table is full of holes as an arty feature. Not a good idea: keys, cards and Strepsils kept falling through the holes. Quadrant sales and marketing director Penny Evans wrote me today to note that […]
