Anna Hu Haute Joaillerie

While watching the Academy Awards last night, I noticed a breathtakingly beautiful ring and hairpiece on Hilary Swank (whose dress was stunning by the way).  Well, after searching long and hard.. pause... I found out that both amazing pieces of jewelry were creations of the marvelously talented Taiwanese  Anna Hu. 
.

Upon further review of her entire collection, I am undoubtedly head over heels in lust with Ms. Hu.  Anna Hu brings together her knowledge and love for art history and cello artistry to her jewelry designs.  Each piece is classically beautiful and the brightly colored jewels mesh with such rhythm.





Her magnificent jewelry has been featured in numerous magazines and worn by myriad celebrities on nearly every red carpet.  I definitely encourage all to visit Anna Hu's website to marvel in the beauty of each of her pieces.  The necklaces and engagement rings have stolen my heart.  Wishfully thinking, I will marry an insanely rich man who will fund my philanthropy and propose to me with Anna's coeur d'amour ring (which can only be viewed on her website).  Until then, I'll keep dreaming and blogging.

Kicked It with Kendrick












Last weekend, Kendrick Lamar was in Dallas and of course I was in the spot! He had about an hour long set and performed almost all of his newest songs.  This show was eeeasily one of my absolute faves that I've been to since in Texas!! He had such energy and enthusiasm.  Kendrick shared tales from his childhood in Compton and he told stories from the stu to introduce each song.  And, he and his DJ had such a connection; they were totally in sync! At any rate, I loved the show. 



Above is footage from my phone of Kendrick Lamar performing one of my fave songs of his, P&P.  You can buy the entire EP, Overly Dedicated on iTunes now for only $5.99.  To learn more about him, follow him on twitter ( @kendrick_lamar ) or listen to his music on his web page.



So in between artists, it got live in the place! I think some folks had one too many shots, which made for more fun and footage for me.  Here's some of the craziness! 

Ode to Joan

This year, I have seen so much of a beautiful new face.  Joan Smalls is gracing the runways of every big name in fashion! Like she's literally in every Spring and Fall 2011 show.  From Jean Paul Gaultier, to Carolina Herrera, to Christian Doir, to Gucci, to Givenchy.  I mean this. girl. is. EVERYwhere!
Born in Puerto Rico in 1988 (how old is that? hmm old enough *kanye voice*), Joan moved to Queens in 2007 and was signed to Elite Model Management shortly after.  She switched to IMG, with whom she booked the Spring 2010 Givenchy show, and has been unstoppable ever since!





















Honestly, I had such a hard time choosing pics to post because she's just so stunning in every one.  Needless to say, I have a new role model.
