{holidays} Bumble

I don't usually share videos on here, but this one pulls at my heart strings.  My FAVORITE Christmas time movie is Rudolph, but most importantly, my favorite character is Bumble.  There's something about that big ole' guy that just makes me giddy.  So when I saw this Microsoft Phone commercial [which I have now watched like 20 times in 15 minutes], I nearly passed out with glee.  Not only is Bumble speed dating, but they brought back some of the standout toys from Misfit Land.

Ok, enough talking, just watch!

{how to be alone}

This is a truly beautiful video that I had to share.  Sometimes it's hard, sometimes it's easy.  Sometimes we look to be alone, sometimes it comes upon us unexpectedly and sometimes, it's just a nice surprise.

{Penelope and Coco} The Collectibles

I have to say, the Penelope and Coco's oxford collection is more my own personal style, but their F/W 2011 The Collectibles does have a great styling edge to these looks.  The loafers would be the perfect accent to some classic J.Crew silhouettes. 

{Gnarly Bay}

This is a new demo reel of some pretty amazingly talented guys from Gnarly Bay Productions.  This tour-de-force are not only geniuses behind the lens, but they may just be the nicest people on the planet.  I really wish my clients needed videos so I can work with them all the time.  Ok, enough talking...enjoy!

Travel Bug

Albin Holqvist from Barcelona created these videos for EF Language Schools with great footage, type and style- now I am completely hooked on planning my next vacation.  Last year this time, I was planning my trip to London & Paris and am overdue for my next adventure to Barcelona.

Just in case you haven't seen it yet, the man behind the camera of The Sartorialist.

Water for Elephants

I came across this book while house-sitting for my good friend in November & am so excited to see that the movie is coming out next year, I had no idea it was being made!  It was a truly touching book & the trailer looks incredibly artistic. 

Bluefly Closet Confessions-Joan & Melissa Rivers

First Bethenny, and now Joan! There are few things I love more than these two women.  They say what's on their mind (usually what everyone else is thinking, but won't say) and somehow, Joan hasn't aged at all.

Today, Bluefly launched their new Closet Confessions with Joan & her daughter Melissa, whom is housing her mother in her supply closet while she looks for a place in the city.  To quote the famous mother, "Fashion should always be fun".  Well said.

Girl Crush

Ever since I first clicked my way onto Late Afternoon, I grew a bit of a "girl crush" on it's impeccably styled creator, Liz Cherkasova.  I just fell head over heels in blog love with her San Francisco style and the personality that beams through her eyes in each photograph.
