She said it best. I love how Rachel Zoe is all about accessories. She calls it excessories!

Anouk Amiee is the epitome of gracious style. She has captured the meaning of “statement pieces” in this photo. One trend that is happening right now is to dress around your accessories. Find jewelry that you adore, vintage or new and go over the top. It is time to shine and sparkle up the surroundings.

Jan Fabre art

Monday, May 18th, 2009

This last weekend I saw a contemporary art performance produced by Belgium director Jan Fabre. It was by far the most disturbing performance I have ever experienced, but at the same time, those shows we see that make such an impact are sometimes some of the most profound art. Here are the words from the artist

Orgy of Tolerance will be a sketch in many layers about our levelled society. An absurd reference to the world of excess. A pinprick in the overpowering balloon of normality. A surrealist plot against a shameless world. It will be an orgy affordable to everyone.
