Book Club Monday

posted on : January 9, 2017 posted by : nicolesteinthal 0 Comment

Yesterday marked the beginning of the Awards Season in Hollywood, with the Golden Globes. All eyes and televisions worldwide will be fixed on all the awards shows, throughout the next few months, ending with the Creme De La Creme..the Academy Awards. Who can resist the glamour and excitement of the red carpet. I always wanted to attend or at least be a fly on the wall!! Now you can…I found this incredible book, The Big Show: High Time and Dirty Dealings, Backstage at the Academy Awards!!! Wow!!!!! I cannot wait for all the juicy secrets. Can YOU? To purchase this book, Click HERE.

An unprecedented look at the machinations behind everyone’s favorite Hollywood circus and what it reveals about the business of moviemaking.

Oscar parties. Oscar pools. Oscar style. Oscar predictions. The Oscars breed their own peculiar mania and a billion people worldwide are alleged to watch the broadcast every year. While that figure may be the Academy’s big white lie, the Oscars draw a viewership well into the hundreds of millions–a tremendous audience for what is essentially a television program. But this is no ordinary show. Love it or loathe it, the Oscars are an irresistible spectacle: a gloriously gaudy, glitzy, momentous, and foolish window into the unholy alliance of art and commerce that is the film industry. The Oscar statuette is a totem of such potency that millions are spent and careers laid on the line in the reckless pursuit of an eight-pound chunk of gold-plated britannium.

The Big Show is a chronicle of the past fifteen years of the Academy Awards, the most tumultuous decade in Oscar’s seventy-six year history. Written by the only journalist ever given carte blanche access to the planning, production, and backstage intrigue of the Oscars, it offers an unguarded, behind-the-scenes glimpse of this singular event, along with remarkable insight into how the Oscars reflect the high-stakes politics of Hollywood, our obsession with celebrities (not to mention celebrities’ obsession with themselves), and the cinematic state of the union.

And here are my picks for the best dressed at the Golden Globes last night:

Viola Davis was perfection!!! I met her at the Red Rooster Harlem one night a few years ago and she was just as incredible in person as the characters she plays on the big screen.

I just adore Emma Stone. I am so glad that she hit it out of the park with this incredible look. I am hoping all good things for her this year, especially a nomination for Best Actress for La La Land. My fingers and toes are crossed Emma!!!

My first Blog Sale was such a success. I thought I would help my sponsor sell a few fur wraps but within 2 months more than 50 pieces sold. Due to popular demand, the sale will continue so no one misses out. These are simply gorgeous. The exact same wrap is available at Saks online for over $800. The special wholesale price for my readers is $250. They are incredible. The available colors are featured below. Also please contact me with any questions or to order Nicolesteinthal@me.com.

Weekend Real Estate Stalking

This house keeps popping up in my news feed. It is the house that Ivanka and Jared Kushner are moving into in Washington DC. Please put all political feelings aside and take in this beauty. I love this house. It’s so elegant and there are so many gorgeous design details. I’m dying over the tall planters scattered throughout the rooms. It has inspired me to add some to my own decor.

Fashionable Friend Friday

posted on : January 6, 2017 posted by : nicolesteinthal 0 Comment

The first Fashionable Friend Friday of the New Year is Gucci’s Designer Allesandro Michele. He is the creative force behind all of the incredible designs we have been seeing from the house of Gucci. I while ago, when I interviewed Patrica Gucci, she was excited to see what Allesandro was going to do with the brand. And, from the popularity of all the items, I have to say it has been a home run. Gucci has been the number one featured brand for 2016 on Instagram, with posts from fans, highlighting all of their amazing products. The shoes and bags are coveted by fashionistas world wide. His kangaroo fur mule has become a sensation. Keep up the good work Allesandro. I am spending my last few days in South Florida. Back to the NY freeze next week. In the meanwhile, Bon Weekend!!!!

The Pantone color of the year for 2017 is “Greenery”. We are going to be seeing a lot of green on the horizon this year. I do love a touch of green. Eucalyptus in a vase is especially refreshing this time of year and a perfect way to baby step into bringing some Greenery in your life. When you are ready to dive in, here are some great examples of how to incorporate this beautiful color into your decor.
