"Just returned from my second African adventure, and nothing on the planet comes close. [My partner] Lance and I met up
with a group of friends in Cape Town for the night at the new one & only hotel. Superglam and great service. We had dinner at a wonderful seafood restaurant called Salt with amazing views of the ocean crashing on the rocks. Even with just one day in Cape Town, I managed a bit of shopping time and found great black matte crocodile boxes to store things in (I love the idea of a superluxe Container Store).

Blogette. Balenciaga-inspired well done.

What she's wearing: Vintage silk dress, boots, handmade belt, Margiela MM6 silk jacket, and target tights.
Gus Van Sant For Opening Ceremony.
via Dazed - The unlikely pairing of elfin actress Jena Malone and directorial auteur, Gus Van Sant take centre stage in the final film from Opening Ceremony, this time in a trippy, twinkling short from director/artist M. Blash, set in the outdoors of Portland, Oregon. According to Blash, the project came together quite quickly. “I live in Portland and it’s a pretty small film community here. I know Gus, he’s my neighbour and I’ve worked with him on Paranoid Park. I like to shoot around Portland, there’s lots of locations and scenery that people don’t know about. Jena was up in Vancouver, making a film up there and so she came down for the weekend.”
Though born in California and having lived in New York, Blash is happy to call Portland home. “Portland gives you the space and quality of living, the energy to make a lot of work. NY is so bogged down by social expectations and events, you get tired living out there. Creative people here lack the ambition they have in New York or London, and that’s inspiring to me, just to see people who are experimenting without having high expectations of it. It really informs the work I try to do in that I try not to over think things and do things spontaneously.”
This would apply to his directorial debut, the intriguingly spare Lying (which starred Malone and Chloë Sevigny) which was written in 2 days and filmed in 2 weeks on a skeleton budget. It premiered at Cannes to acclaim and Blash is already working on the follow up – “It’s been shot in central Oregon in the high desert where the desert and pine forest collide. It’s set in a hermetic vacationing community called Black Beat Ranch. It looks like a Russian sci fi movie like Tarkovsky. I like to put people in heightened, really controlled places, and then have things happen to them that are out of their control.”

Fashion Targets Breast Cancer Brings on the Charm.
via WWD - Fashion Targets Breast Cancer is celebrating its 15th anniversary this year, and to mark the occasion, the charitable program of the Council of Fashion Designers of America is teaming up with QVC and launching QVC Designer Charms for Charity.
The monthlong initiative on the TV shopping network will offer specially designed charms by CFDA members who are already part of QVC’s regular roster, including Stan Herman, Marc Bouwer, Anthony Nak, Bradley Bayou, Dean Harris and Victor Costa, to benefit FTBC.
“QVC is a great partner because of the reach it has and a customer base that is really loyal to the designers that sell on QVC,” said Steven Kolb, executive director of the CFDA. “Each [designer] did a charm that was inspired by something in their life and is very personal to the designers.”
Claire Watts, president of U.S. commerce for QVC, said, “Not only is it a great way for our shopper to purchase one of these exclusive charms, but it also allows them to give back to a great organization.”
The charms will be priced from about $20 to $100 and 100 percent of net proceeds will go to FTBC. The program will launch at QVC.com on Sept. 1 and the pieces will be promoted during QVC’s New York Fashion Week broadcasts, scheduled from Sept. 10 to 16. Depending on the supply, the charms will be available at the QVC site until the end of September.
FTBC was founded by Ralph Lauren after he met the late fashion critic Nina Hyde and promised her to rally the fashion industry to fight cancer. Since its launch, the program has extended to 11 international partners and given almost $50 million to breast cancer charities worldwide.
Designers Management Agency helped put together the deal between QVC and the CFDA.
Nigel Barker — best known as the photographer judge on “America’s Next Top Model” — shot the campaign to mark the anniversary. Veronica Webb is featured in the black-and-white images, which were styled by Leslie Fremar and show the model wearing a charm of the original FTBC logo created by Lauren.
“The idea was to create a campaign in the tradition of past campaigns,” Kolb said.
Fremar, who also styles Julianne Moore, tapped the actress to design a special charm with Robert Lee Morris, who also created a charm of his own.
“The concept is that you get the FTBC charm that you buy with the necklace or bracelet, and hopefully, as the program gets introduced over the course of a few weeks, you will buy additional charms and eventually have a collection of them,” Kolb said.
