The Curious Case of Brad Peet and Key Blanchett

One of the many reasons I love WordPress.com for hosting my blog is the “dashboard,” where you can review all the key stats like traffic, comments, and the often entertaining search terms people have used to find the site. (A lot of you are into Don Johnson, and who can blame you? More on his fashion contributions coming soon…) My all-time favorite search string is from Thursday, when someone searched for key words “Brad Peet Key Blanchett.” For the past 48 hours I’ve been mulling over where that person must live. Antwerp? Haiti? Québec? Please help me crack this curious case.

On another note, do you remember how incredible Cate’s metallic Ralph Lauren dress was that she wore to the Babel premiere back in ’06? It was the inspiration for having my bridesmaids wear palest gold the following June.

Chocolate Eggs

This year I did not get my act together in time to order chocolate eggs or bunnies from Woodhouse Chocolates in St. Helena, so I walked over to Larchmont yesterday and got my husband an Easter “basket” filled with Belgian chocolate eggs from Leonidas. The eggs are wrapped in brightly colored foil, each connoting a different flavor. My favorite is the dark chocolate ganache (wrapped in orange), but the dark chocolate with hazelnut (blue), white chocolate with pistachio (green) and solid milk chocolate (brown) are also sinfully delicious. For an extra $5, you can choose from several adorable little felt bags to hold your chocolate eggs like this one:
