Oscar de la Renta

---

Saddened to learn of designer Oscar de la Renta's passing this morning. He truly was one of the greats. No big red carpet event goes by without at least one person wearing an Oscar de la Renta creation and it's because of this, especially, that I will forever remember him and his work. Because his red carpet gowns were always elegant and pretty. You could count on it. "I'm not interested in shock tactics. I just want to make beautiful clothes" is what he once said - and I thank you for it, mr. de la Renta! ♥

This is the face of comedy

I don't mind at all admitting that E! Fashion Police was one of those sure-fire moments in my week when I would really laugh out loud. I realise Joan Rivers was not everyone's cup of tea but I personally loved her energy and unapologetic humour. I saved a ton of funny videos of her on my youtube account over the years and yet I could not choose which one to share as a tribute today. So, here's a nice little '50 years of funny' compilation that The New York Times has come up with - thanks for that, guys. She will be missed.
