cottage living kitchen makeover

S.HOPtalk posted an incredible kitchen makeover she found on Cottage Living‘s site, and I am smitten with the results.

Would you believe that the cabinets in the “after” photo are the same from the “before” photo? I love that the owners painted them white, added crown molding above them and hung a shelf beneath them.  I also adore those white subway tiles. Le sigh.

This kitchen makeover is almost as good as my friend Jamie’s… Talk about a transformation! Wow!

body+soul

I recently canceled my subscription to Allure magazine (too much fluff, not enough substance) and am now considering subscribing to Martha Stewart’s body+soul instead. Right now you can get 10 issues for $10 at Whole Living.

Does anybody subscribe to body+soul? Is it worth reading month to month?

ten to sixty

Remember how I used makeup to make myself look like a grandmother for Halloween? Pure amateur. Check out these photos from a magazine–the model was transformed from a ten-year-old to a sixty-year-old in six pages.

I just love this image. The muted colors. The beautiful girl and those legs. The scenery below. Those legs!

According to i heart you, the image is from a Sophia Coppola-directed commercial for Miss Dior Cherie perfume. The commercial, Ms. Coppola’s first, will debut tonight during Gossip Girl (which I don’t watch–do you?).

I wonder if the perfume smells as good as it looks…

allure magazine october 2008

When I received the October issue of Allure magazine on Saturday, I was surprised to see Lindsay Lohan on the cover… until I realized it was Ellen Pompeo, as a blonde. I think that color really works for her. Do you?
