its on at corton

if you have any taste in your soul, you must go to corton.  like a child, i tippy toed to see through the glass kitchen window, star strucked by paul liebrandt’s gorgeous hair as he carefully swept back his stress.  the two men next to me asked me who the chef was.  “who do you think?”  it was obvious, but of course i knew who the chef was,  i had watched his hbo documentary ‘matter of taste’ 3 times, and i am not a person who likes to waste time.  the men stared hard in paul’s direction, and i said, “yes, it’s him, the only person without a chef’s hat.  look at his passionate face- he is serious about food”.  if i had to use one word to describe corton it is “now”.  the decor, tasting menu, cocktails, paul’s youth and humilty is what the world needs now.  every dish was a version of perfection, and i left dinner so delighted that i have already booked two more reservations this month.  i could go on an on, but i highly suggest you do your self a favor and truly learn what flavor is through the artful mastery at corton.  xo lili love crushin on corton and chef liebrandt

Roberto Cavalli Spring 2011 Campaign

Loving the bright backdrop they used to highlight the leather, beading and fringe. Seems there was lots of fan at this shoot and we all know that more fan is never a bad thing.

you need a yui head massage

my cousin jasmine gave me a gift certificate to yui salon in west village for a shiatsu head massage.  i was very excited bc i love head massages!!  unfortunately i am used to korean mama-sans giving it to me (they usually strattle your back naked and pummel their elbow, knee in your back) so when i got the yui gentle japanese “shiatsu” massage, i was wondering when is she gonna give it to me?  well i sure got it when she dried my hair, it looked amazing!!  i got the clay massage and it cleaned out my scalp pores so well, that my hair shines non-stop now and has a fresh clean bounce on top.  no more flat top, you know what i’m talking about.  it is the perfect remedy for the winter hat hair.  and if you are a nutso like me, you can see your scalp under a microscope before and after, the results will keep you yuing for more.
