Lust Item of the Week: Poivre Samarcande

Burning pepper rounded with mellow wood. Vibrant, caressing, intriguing.
"A massive, beautiful oak tree once grew in front of my house, blocking our view of the Mediterranean. Eventually, it grew ill and was felled. The peppery, musky, slightly smoky scent of the cut wood etched itself in my memory. The soul of the old oak, mixed with pepper, lives on in this fragrance. The name Samarcande is an homage to the city through which spice caravans once passed on their way from East to West."
Jean-Claude Ellena
Here's a tip: Never spray something this good, this rich, this intense, this divine in your hand bag! I was at the cash register when I picked up the tester and nonchalantly sprayed two spritzes into my handbag. Result: I still smell this and WANT IT!! The dry down is so heavenly!! I wanna smell this good for fall. Won't accept anything else.
Eid Mubarak to the Muslim World.
My little treat is a bottle of this sweet stuff!

Lust Item of the Week: YSL Muse
YVES SAINT LAURENT
Muse oversized leather tote




I've been longing for something SO chic on its own, that it will catapult any so-so outfit of mine into a wow-factor! I think this is my jackpot! Not only is it so delicious but it just screams, "Take me home now!" I wanna carry this baby everywhere. I really didn't need net-a-porter.com telling me that, "[This] ultra covetable classic is the definitive investment piece that's guaranteed to upgrade every look." The sting-ray leather effect had me at bon-jour!

Peut-on rendre compte de l'histoire? or Rant #2
*Me in an exam room at 9am this morning, sleepless, and no food*
These are my ramblings on the rough draft papers:
I'm so screwed. I'm so fuckin' screwed! Why did I take such a lame ass subject! WTF! I think I deserve this for being such a jerk! Lalalalalaaaaa. Interesting question that I do not understand but I do have a kick-ass pen so that must count for something.
I would ask them to clarify the question but I feel intimidated. I probably should have but time ran out. Great Hessa! Fucking great. Now the pressing question is; are you or aren't you gonna write something. And I mean something significant or are you just gonna scribble two words and leave? It's up to you, you dumb fuck! You knew he throws curve ball questions like this and yet you did nothing.
You don't have to come and confess, we're looking for you, we goin' find you, we goin' find you. So you can run and tell that, run and tell that, run and tell that, homeboy, home, home, homeboy.
God I'm really really hungry! My stomach is screaming! And I so did not get enough sleep! Ugh this is horrible.
I wanna shrivel up and die! Can't think anymore! System malfunction! Why didn't I memorize some Hegel or Kant quotes just to pull my paper up a notch? Crap. I hope they don't use this as an anonymous paper for the French students next year to correct my grammar! This is such an EPIC fail if I ever saw one!
On the bright side, the campus looks amazing!!!

Advice I want to remember or Rant #1
Why is it that, when some one says, “What do you want from me?!” in the middle of an argument, the other person just storms off? or gives you more flak for it? or just says, “Nothing.”
Obviously you want something because you are making me feel bad about not satisfying you. Even if the matter is entirely mine, you somehow want to talk to me about it and make me think twice about what I’m doing. When I am doing it for me, and me alone. Then yeah ok, you don’t want anything because hey, there is nothing in it FOR YOU. It’s mine! and i was HAPPY doing it before you came and NAGGED. and nagged and nagged. “What are you gonna do with your life?” I AM ALREADY DOING IT!!! Just let me be!
I certainly don’t think I’m doing anything wrong. Or anything not...worthwhile. If i was, then I would know. This is where I wanna be right now. And I honestly don’t care what others think. That’s primeval. And demoralizing to say the least. There are people out there who will put you down. If you listen to them. They’re always out there. Just waiting for you to fail. Doubt or second guess yourself. and that’s when they getcha! They pull you down with them, in the sorry abyss that they themselves are in. They are like sirens, only worse, they don’t sing. They complain. And they’ll take you down with them. Just don’t listen. Keep your head above water before you drown with them in their sorry miserable state.
God help us all.

MAXXI - Spazio





MAXXI
National Museum of XXI century Arts
Space
From the museum's collections of art and architecture
30 may 2010 - 23 january 2011
curated by Pippo Ciorra, Alessandro D'Onofrio, Bartolomeo Pietromarchi, Gabi Scardi
The common premise of the two souls of the MAXXI, and the building that contains them, space is the underlying theme of the inaugural exhibition of the permanent collection of the two museums of art and architecture. Artists have always considered space as one of the essential elements of their research and their creative practices. There are those who work physically in space and with space in order to understand and represent the reality that surrounds them. Others, instead, seek a possible truth in spaces of the mind and in individual or collective memory. Finally, the architect sculpts space as if it was pure matter, or patiently investigates the mutation and evolution of its predicates: residential, or urban, individual or metropolitan, rational or post-Cartesian. Space is that of the museum, understood as both a physical and instituional presence. In more general terms, space is the context in which we live. Space is all that is defined by the indivdual and by society, by geographic, historical and cultural contexts. Space is also that which is extremely close by, it is the intimate and the everyday, it is a house to be inhabited, that welcomes personal necessities and desires, as well as our closest relations. Space is shared; it is where we confront diverse subjects and identities, made from a web of relations and social conventions. Space, finally, is that of architecture and urbanism, that of the designed city. It is the incommensurable space of the immagination, the transcendental to which it aspires, that of the interior universe. It is the other space of the theatre, of literature, of the virtual. It is the space of art, that wishes to inherently capture all of the above. None of these meanings can leave aside the others. There is no interruption between interior and exterior maps. The existing and the imaginable, for the artist everything becomes the field of critical voyage and of possibility. Everything is fused in the complex dynamics that transform the world which we live. The architects invited to create site specific interventions for the MAXXI have produced a comparison between their own work and the diverse conceptions of space present in the pieces of the MAXXI Arte collections. Through assonace of meaning or formal association, the works displayed have been subdivided into four thematic areas: Natural Artificial/ from the Body to the City/ Maps of Reality/ the Stage and the Imagination.

Hotspot: Maison Moschino Milan



Envy has struck me like an ugly shock-wave. How could I have missed this?? Its fab, gorge, divine. All the "chic" adjectives I can think of can't describe the ______ je ne sais quoi of this place! I foresee, in my not too distant future, a trip to fashionable Milano, where I will indulge my tush in this lap of luxury! I'm talking a week long stay at this fancy shindig! Giant red velvet ball gown beds? Yes please! Light and airy white paper box room? Why not! Strawberry and Pear tart pillows? Whimsical genius! Just check it out for yourself. I'm sure you'll agree with me!
Not to mention what chef Moreno Cedroni has in store at the daringly surreal Clandestino restaurant. This is one dream trip I'd like to see come to fruition. Any volunteers?

Madam Leota

Quotes from Madam Leota
Serpents and spiders, tail of a rat
call in the spirits wherever they're at.
Rap on a table, it's time to respond,
send us a message from somewhere beyond.
Goblins and ghoulies from last Halloween
awaken the spirits with your tambourine.
Creepies and crawlies, toads in a pond
let there be music from regions beyond.
Wizards and witches wherever you dwell
give us a hint by ringing a bell.
Little Leota by the exit:
Hurry back, hurry back. Be sure to bring your death certificate if
you decide to join us. Make final arrangements now. We've been
dying to have you.

Eat Pray Love

Elizabeth Gilbert's memoir Eat, Pray, Love may be about how she found herself when she pared down to life's basics, but that hasn't prevented the film version starring Julia Roberts from spurring a merchfest. Jewelry line Dogeared is selling necklaces inspired by the book, and ME + RO made necklaces, bracelets and rings embossed with the title. Meanwhile, SONY tapped Fresh to create a trio of eponymous eaux de parfum, Como Hotels and Resorts is doing themed itineraries ("Eat" in Thailand, "Pray" in Bhutan and "Love" in Bali), and a slew of other synergistic products are reportedly in the works.
I'm more interested in the perfumes, naturally.

Eat is a "sweet, effervescent" scent inspired by Gilbert's travels through Italy. Notes include Italian lemon, basil, bergamot, plum, red currant, rose, caramel, meringue, and vanilla. Seems to be to have been inspired by ices, gelato and tiramisu!

Pray is a woodsy scent, inspired by the India section of the book & film. Notes are elemi, pink pepper, juniper berry, incense, peony, rose, patchouli, amber, and musk.

Love is inspired by our heroine's travels in Indonesia, with notes of bergamot, red currant, mango blossom, lisylang, Tiare, dewy jasmine, sandalwood, vetyver, and velvet amber.
These scents also come in a trio of candles. Excellent marketing strategy Fresh...

Lip Balm Crush
Yes, I'm that girl. The girl who reapplies lip balm a lot. I can't help it. I've succumbed to the drug. Hey, it promises soft, luscious lips! Now who wouldn't want that? Strings attached? Maybe. A little. Ok ok, so if I don't reapply, my lips get parched. Thats the hype I bought into, and thats the price I have to pay. So I'm constantly on the look out for new, uber-cool lip goodies I can buy from the industry that manipulated me to purchase them from.
Lo and behold, The Vitamin Water Balms!!! I literally rush to a fridge full of yummy vitamin waters, so naturally I went bonkers when I saw these! They are just. So. COOL. Plus, they're SPF 20!! If I were 13 years old right now I'd...well who am I kidding, I'm behaving exactly like my 13 year old self. Some things never change. I want these I want these, I WANT! You hear that universe? Bring the yummy-ness to my door step.
Oh and uh Lip Smackers...Whatever you thought we had, yeah, its over. kthnxbye!

We Are Handsome
Ok, I'm officially obsessing over these swim suits!!!!
I want the Lion one. I want it BAD!
I'll find a way to fit into it. It'll take months but I just want it in my drawer. Waiting for me to catch up to its chicness for summer 2011!!
*sigh*
I also particularly adore the LA night suit. And the one with the horse is just a breath of fresh air!
Gotta love the Aussies. They know how to blend kitsch and chic.
