*as promised... some visual caffeine*

1.) I am so inspired by these giant lanterns I've seen lately! The 1st ones I saw were on the bonus disc to The September Issue that was all about putting together the Met Ball. They were done by the infamous Jean Hughes de Chatillon and were stunning!

& then these were spotted on The Constant Gatherer's blog and were done for the SCADStyle Party by artists Karen McVay Butch and Martha Enzmann.

2.) Don't hate me for this, but I'm a little in *love* with Tommy Hilfiger's Fall collection (& the men's tailored) and am super excited to see that he's returned to his preppy roots. As a ridiculously preppy girl in middle school (I know. What happened, right?), I thought I was the hottest thing ever when I got a bottle of Tommy Girl!

3.) This video is pretty gorgeous! Not only do I totally *heart* Audrey Tautou, but I would like to have my own personal band... just sayin ;)

4.) These are quite adorable and much needed...

5.) This weekend we watched some pretty *hilarious* and totally weird movies! I found this one to be awesome...
