Rumor Patrol - Vera Wang to Join 'Dancing with the Stars' Cast?

Women everywhere dream of their big day: the tiered cake, the floral arrangements, the first dance, and, of course, the Vera Wang dress. I know, I wore one and had a fairy-tale wedding.

Her gowns and ready-to-wear are the epitome of elegance. As well they should be (and I don't mean because of the prices): Wang cut her couture teeth under the icy glare of Anna Wintour as a Senior Fashion Editor at Vogue -- there was (size) zero room for error.

After departing the fashion bible -- rumor has it she was passed over for the editor-in-chief job in favor of Wintour -- Wang spent two years working for Ralph Lauren, then set out on her own.

Sherwin Williams Color of Inspiration site makes you a paint palette genius

Posted Oct 2nd 2008 at 8:41AM by Cat Lincoln

Filed under: Haute Home



There is something about painting a room that brings out the inner artistic genius in all of us. Suddenly it is of vital importance that we find just the right shade of velvety chocolate, and that it be paired only with the perfect teal.

Sure, you can bring swatches to Home Depot, but we like to do some prep before we make the apron'ed folk run in circles for us. That's why the new Sherwin Wililams Color of Inspiration site is the perfect way for us to spend a few blissful hours trying out color combinations and trying to remember what we learned in color theory class all those years ago.

There are a couple of ways to use the SW Inspiration tool. You can upload a photo and the site automatically generates a palette inspired by your picture of the best green motorcycle ever, or the amazing yellow and red tulips from your garden.

Just as satisfying for us, you can also check out other people's photos and palettes. It's like spying! Plus, why go to all the trouble of finding a perfect picture, or you know, taking one, if the work is already done for us?

Warning: this site will eat your day, and it's twice as dangerous if you're a bride, or involved in any kind planning for a large event. Block out your calendar before you click thru!

June is almost here, and that means weddings! Brides, grooms, their assistants and guests can all use some fresh ideas and recommendations. We're here to help.
