the it lists – fashion & trend blog

You know when you get something new and you become hyper-aware and start to see it everything. Suddenly everyone’s driving an Audi, or carrying a Juicy Couture Bag.

That’s me with cashmere lately. Yesterday I shared the innovative styles of Eric Bompard, and now I’ll add TDM Design’s YumYum.  And to beat the scoop, they’ll be featured in February’s Harpers Bazaar.

Skinny scarves are on the out, but I still miss having something around my neck inside the office. Answer: the new trend in scarves are cashmere YumYum neck warmers. Insanely soft and worn as an accessory to your sweater or outerwear. My favorite is the weave that almost looks basket woven, and the textured fringe.

And to fulfill your new years resolution to do something good for the world – each purchase gives back to the Nepal community where it’s made. Both by donating to and employing women in Nepal.

February’s "it" girl was an easy pick. Drew Barrymore has rebounded off her breakup from ex-fiance, Strokes drummer Fabrizio Moretti and is rekindling her romance with all of us fans. I think I’ve caught her on every talk show as she pumps the accolades of her new movie Music & Lyrics – in which she’s starring with Hugh Grant.

Being single becomes her because it seems like she’s finally found her fashion style.
First her chic updo at the Calvin Klein after-party during Fashion Week; Au natural beauty at the Golden Globes; and then that amazing black and gold gown at the premier of Music & Lyrics.

And let’s not forget her recent cover and shoot for Harper’s Bazaar.  In it she dishes about her upcoming movie, Music and Lyrics, co-star Hugh Grant, love, and advises her pal, Lindsay Lohan. Sneak peak of the article here.

It’s been fun to grow up with Drew, and great to now take a few life and fashion cues from her too.

P.S. Recent rumor has her linked with director Spike Jonze this past Valentine’s Day.
