The Best and Worst Dressed of the SAG Awards

Did you tune in to watch the Screen Actors' Guild Awards last night? We missed the show, but caught the red carpet (the most important part, after all!) Our pick for best dressed goes to January Jones who shows that switching up your look can pay off when it's done the right way. Her covered, yet body-con dress is elegant and sexy at the same time. See more SAG Awards Best and Worst Looks on DailyMakeover.com.

Beach Week Day 1: St. Barth

We're in the middle of the snowiest winter in our lifetime (on the east coast, at least) so there's no better time to start our annual beach week. First up is the Hotel Saint-Barth Isle de France.

This boutique hotel is one of the chicest options on what is arguably the chicest island in all of the Caribbean. Room options include a simple garden or beach rooms, suites and the new 3-bedroom Flamands villas.
There's an on-site restaurant and a Molton Brown spa.



Save a beach chair for us!

A Rue Party!



I'm feeling a bit uninspired and lazy today, so I thought I would just throw up this video from the latest Rue Magazine.  It's a two minute clip of their holiday party.  It made me laugh and smile.  The Rue team seems like they know how to have a good time. Oh, and some can bust a move too! Cheers everyone, and Happy Friday!

On Our Radar: Coachella

Armani Exchange Coachella

It may be 77 days away, but the new A|X Armani Exchange ads put Coachella on our minds. The legendary music festival that takes place near Palm Springs, California was the inspiration for the spring ad campaign. “The aesthetic of the A|X Spring 2011 Collection was conceived around casual but sophisticated style and the modern influence of season-less, festival-chic dressing. The emphasis was not on major seasonal shifts but instead on creating looks that possess an overall truthfulness,” said Kate Lanphear, Elle's style director who styled the ads. The photos were shot at the Empire Polo Fields, where the festival takes place.

This year's Coachella festival kicks off on April 15 with Kings of Leon, the Black Keys and ends on April 17 with headliners Duran Duran and Kayne West. Check out Coachella.com for more details.

Jetsetter's Super Bowl Package


Congrats to the Green Bay Packers and Pittsburgh Steelers for making it to the Super Bowl! If you're a die hard fan and want to go to the game, there's still time to buy one of Jetsetter's Super Bowl package.

Included are tickets for two to the big game, 3-nights at the InterContinental Dallas, various parties and transportation to Cowboy's Stadium. Prices start at $7,900 for two. Better hurry--the sale closes Friday night. Available on Jetsetter.

A Showroom Home


A rotating collection of mid century furniture and art work in this Upper West Side Apartment is switched out every three months.  Once the decorator duo sells a piece they bring in new ones.  It kinda sounds like what I do with accessories.  Gustavo and Mark travel the Globe to seek out playful wares and chic furniture to maintain a fresh Pied-a-Terre and gallery space for GM Decor  

Special Rates for the Palazzo and Venetian

Palazzo Suite

We had such a great time at the Palazzo for Anne's bachelorette that we're tempted to go back by the special Internet rates starting at only $129/night. Sure there are plenty of new places opening all the time in Vegas; but what we love most about the Palazzo and the Venetian is their location right in the middle of everything on the strip, the Canyon Ranch Spa, the over sized rooms and the great restaurants and clubs like Tao and Lavo on site. Book your room by January 31st and use the code EPOXJAN.

Stephen Sills and Apthorp


Some say the Apthorp building, designed by Clinton & Russell between 1906 and 1908 is the most beautiful residential building in NYC.  Just recently, the designer known for classic interiors, Stephen Sills was selected as the creative director for this NYC landmark.  I have no doubt that this Upper West Side gem will in fact be the most beautiful complex in the city after Sills waves his magic wand over it!  Stephen's work below is testament to this. 

Jennifer Aniston's Favorite Vacation Spot

Jennifer Aniston in Allure
While the rest of the world was focusing on Jennifer Aniston dissing "The Rachel" haircut and her clip in bangs from the Allure shoot and accompanying article, we were most interested in hearing about her favorite vacation spot:
"It's Anguilla in the Caribbean. It's just very far, not that easy to hop on a plane and go. I love the ability to really relax. Even if I'm just sitting in my house, I still have work, whether it's dealing with a production company or future project. What I love is the ocean. I hear it and go calm. It allows you to truly refuel."
We're betting Aniston rents a private villa when she goes, though the Viceory Anguilla is pretty spectacular.

Enter to Win a Trip to the Birthplace of Kahlua in Mexico

veracruz, Mexico

When it comes time to reconnecting with friends and loved ones, more Americans prefer a night in, according to a recent survey sponsored by Kahlua. But if you're going to stay in, you have to have something good to talk about, along with good food and drinks. To help with the first part, Kahlua is sponsoring a Delicioso Night In sweepstakes where those who commit to staying in with friends one night a month are entered to win a one night trip to New York City prepared by chef Aaron Sanchez, immediately followed by a four day trip to Veracruz, Mexico, the birthplace of Kahlua.

When it comes to the menu for your night in, Sanchez suggests keeping it casual. He recommends inviting guests into the kitchen to help cook, serving a speciality cocktail with each course that features a liquor (that's a Kahlua espresso martini, above) and serving small bites of food that can be eaten with your fingers for a more playful meal.

Snuggie Loving at San Francisco Hotels

• Late check out (for more monkeying around)

Rates start at $159 a night.
