This Humble Abode

It was nearly impossible to breeze through this month's Adore Home without noticing Claudia Stephenson's home. The entire issue is filled with glamourous color schemes, chic home accessories, and the best of the best furniture. Peruse the magazine yourself for the full experience, but I know you'll be pleased with this overview from Claudia's magnificently styled abode.
Are there any other Gossip Girl fans in the crowd? As a die hard, there's no way I can resist this arrangement. The Prada Marfa artwork is very Upper East Side, and is actually featured on the hit CW show. Beside the fabulous GG memorabilia, behold the mix of color. Claudia certainly didn't shy away from color schemes and pattern play while designing her home, because this snapshot is loaded with a mix of styles. The basic couch is very average, it could be put in any living room. But the plastic tablewith the books and flower pot add a modern touch and a hint of glamour. The pillows are where it gets interesting. The pattern is basic, but very exquisite in bright pink. Also in black, this adds a classic feeling to the couch. Paired with other neutral colored pillows, there's a healthy balance in themes.
 I have an obsession with reusing old fashion magazines as decor. The color in this shot is a very tasteful mix. Brights and neutrals steal the show with a subtle black and white magazine cover to set balance, much like the arrangement of the couch pictured above.
This home is very comfortable and extremely chic. It's something that I, and many other style lovers, could see myself living in. The colors, the warm and welcoming bedroom, and the small accessories shape the house. Each additive to the space serves an important role in making the house unique. Claudia Stephenson's eye for style is what sets her apart from many other women with furnished homes. Ah, wouldn't you love to live here? So would I.

Tia Mowry’s BOLD New Cover on VIBE VIXEN’s June/July Issue

Tia Mowry is no longer the cutesy girl next door!! She is full grown and MEOW sexy!! / The 33-year-old actress, wife & new mom has been upping her hot factor on BET’s “The Game” for the last few years. And now that she’s parting ways with the show, it’s clear she has come into her own. Tia Mowry–rocking an insane gold necklace, an electric blue skirt and stark white blazer with colorful accessories–dished to VIBE VIXEN magazine what she thinks about critics of the new seasons of “The Game”…and she actually agrees! Kinda. The now former star says the show has changed–but the new feeling of a “mini movie” could be a good one.

Which Was Your Favourite Scarlett Johansson ‘The Avengers’ Promotional Tour Look?

The promo tour for ‘The Avengers’ started for Scarlett Johansson back in April with the LA premiere when she wore a slick Versace strapless dress. Things started to go a bit pear-shaped soon after with a none-too-flattering Nina Ricci dress in Moscow. In London ScarJo brightened things up somewhat wearing Prada with a hot-red lip colour before ending her run in Rome wearing a beautiful Mary Katrantzou digital floral frock. Versace was my favourite. The whole look was slick and I’m still in lust with the Zanottis.

Jessica Simpson’s Precious Lil Maxwell Drew Makes It Rain On The Cover Of People Magazine


Jessica Simpson’s precious lil bundle of joy is ready for her closeup. And her $800 K check.


Since Jessica Simpson and her fiancĂ© Eric Johnson welcomed their daughter Maxwell Drew on May 1, “life has completely changed,” Simpson, 31, tells PEOPLE exclusively. “From how I sleep to what I think about, Maxwell has definitely taken over everything!”

In this week’s issue, Simpson and Johnson give an exclusive interview, plus share the first photos of their little one, who’s inherited her mom’s eyes and her dad’s calm demeanor.

“We stare at her all the time,” says Simpson. “We can’t get enough!”

But becoming new parents hasn’t been without its hardships. Recovering from surgery – Simpson delivered via C-section – isn’t easy, she says, and nursing, which she does throughout the day, has become “a full-on job.”

Still, “It’s the worst if I have to pump and give Eric a bottle to give her,” says Simpson. “I miss holding her and having that closeness.”

Aw how sweet. Congrats to Jessica and her family on the arrival of lil Maxwell Drew. Do you think PEOPLE paid too much or got a great bargain for their snaps?
