Fantastic coats and dresses, very sculptural shapes and some really great colors show up at Oscar de la Renta’s Fall 2006 collection. Sleek, elegant and ladylike.

As every Fashion Week, I eagerly anticipate Carolina Herrera’s collection and true to form she never disappoints. This year she gives us style with a 1950s edge: beautiful cocktail dresses, long fur coats and chiffon dresses. Beautiful.

Idlewild takes place at a speakeasy in the South in the thirties and stars the men of Outkast: André Benjamin and Big Boi (aka Antwan A. Patton). The story is of the relationship between a piano player (Benjamin) and the club’s showy manager, played by Patton. The movie also stars Ving Rhames, Terrence Howard, Paula Patton, Patti LaBelle, Cicely Tyson and Macy Gray among others. Outkast also did the music for the movie which, judging by the trailer, sounds amazing. Can’t wait.

Sebastian is an incredibly talented designer. Love the Tea For Two.

Photos lying around in boxes? Send them to TogetherBook and they’ll bind them in a linen covered book. They’ll deboss and stamp the cover too! And make custom linen covered sleeves for a set of books. Great gifts for new parents.

Nani Marquina‘s rugs are to die for. To die for. Gorgeous textures and super bright colors. Perfect for spare, all-white apartments in need of a jolt of color and texture. My favorite is the Roses Rug (above) which is made of wool felt.
