Just like Tim Gunn: The films that have shaped my life

Singin’ in the Rain.

This month, Tim Gunn talked to New York magazine about the 17 films that have shaped his life. Narrowing it down to 17? That’s no easy task. I’m choosing a smaller number, but the impact of each is great. What about you? What movies inspire you?

The Sound of Music.
Dick Tracy.
Annie Hall.
Father of the Bride.
Reality Bites.
As Good As It Gets.
The Devil Wears Prada.
My Best Friend’s Wedding.
Good Will Hunting.
Anchorman.

The Gatsby Collection from Madewell

I can’t help it. I’m a sucker for all things Madewell. Enter their new Gatsby Collection ā€” case in point. Inspired by the roaring 20s, the mesh bow-tie jewelry designs come in both silver and gold. Pair the necklace with a floaty dress, the bracelet with a sweater and jeans, and maybe, if you’re lucky, you’ll attend a Gatsby-esque party and have the perfect thing to wear.

The weekend is here!

Happy weekend, my dear readers! Do you find the bowl of heirloom tomatoes above as irresistible as I do? It reminds me of the tomato tasting I did a couple months back ā€” oh, how I miss those summer days! 

What are you up to this weekend? Anything fun planned? I’m watching Game 1 of the NLCS between the SF Giants and the Phillies. As you know, I’m a Red Sox fan, but Matt’s home team is the Giants so I have to represent! Here, to get your weekend started right, a few happy posts from around the web:

Vintage ladies and robots.

If a tree falls in a forest, does it make a sound?  

Lions and tigers (no bears). Oh my!

An under layer collection I love.

DIY crepe paper lanterns.

The perfect compact.

My favorite purchase so far this fall (and a similar look from Forever 21).

A barn wedding with the most enticing candy bar I’ve ever seen!  

Lip Stick from TopShop (literally).  

Dashing off!
