~App to Try

~Pose – Lovers of Pinterest and street style fashion, I have found the app for you. A free download on your iPhone, Android and iPad, Pose, which just gained Rachel Zoe and her husband Rodger as part shareholders, is a social site to follow a long list of fashionistas who constantly are snapping photos of their latest outfit. However, you don’t need the app to enjoy. Simply go to their home page, create a username and begin following your favorite styled stars, bloggers and more.

~Ellen DeGeneres's home featured in Architectural Digest – located in Beverly Hills, Ellen’s home shared with her wife Portia de Rossi is full of light, personality and warmth. While reportedly, they have put it on the market for $49 million (purchased for $39 million), I look forward to the next home they will refurbish if it is anything like this interior creation.
