Love It or Hate It? Chartreuse Tufted Headboard
Chartreuse is one of those colors that people have a hard time feeling neutral about. This Chartreuse Tufted Headboard ($1,709) is built on a maple frame that's been covered in tufted, chartreuse suede. Part of me loves it, but I doubt that I could handle the color — or decorating around the color — for very long.
Happy Hour: The Last Word
On Monday night I headed over to my favorite bar, 15 Romolo, to be a guest judge for a Gong-Show Karaoke competition. The event was sponsored by Chartreuse, an aromatic French liquor with a vibrant green color. It just so happens that my current favorite cocktail — The Last Word — uses Chartreuse.
Fab Finger Discount: Leyedecker Tate Blouse
Remember a while back I told you to highlight your khakis? This Leyendecker Tate Blouse ($65, originally $216) does the work for you. Alone, the chartreuse overlay would have been plain, and the same goes with the bottom layer.
Inspired: Kate Hudson at Beverly Hills Burberry Opening
On Monday, Kate Hudson arrived at the grand re-opening of the Burberry Beverly Hills store looking as gorgeous as ever. But we all know Kate looks fab even when she's not all dolled up for an A-List event. What struck me about this photo wasn't Hudson's attire — the boxy Burberry dress isn't the most flattering — but the palette is awe-inspiring.
Four Spirits Worth Seeking Out
At the Food Network's NYC Wine and Food Festival, besides the delicious food, there was a plethora of interesting spirits. I waded through the depths of the rums, tequilas, and everything in between, and have picked my top four pours to share with you. If you're into trying out the newest, latest liquors, I highly recommend you seek out these bottles.

Definition: Chartreuse
Chartreuse
A half green, half yellow color; it is precisely halfway between green and yellow, so it is 50% green and 50% yellow. It was named because of its resemblance to the green color of one of the French liqueurs called green chartreuse.
DKNY's Fall 2007 collection had an eye-catching satin chartreuse dress (left), which is fun for the holidays.

All day I dream of Preen — you know what I mean? But today, after leaving the Preen Spring show, I couldn't shake the fabric anemones the designers used. Overly used.
Teen Choice Awards: Amanda Bynes
Amanda decided to show off her curves — and perfect tan — in a body-con chartreuse and pink sliced dress by Herve Leger. Very girlie, very glamorous. For footwear, the actress chose black satin peep-toes and adorned herself with a simple silver necklace, matching rings, and a reptilian gold clutch.
