Who wore it better? The Head Scarf


Her?
Or my MOM, circa 1978...

Obviously my mom won.
But, how much do we love the 70s inspired scarf to complete our retro look?

Mommy & Me (2nd installment)


The other day I shared my appreciation for uber-gorgeous Mother/Daughter duo, Peggy Lipton & Rashida Jones. To continue in this manner, today I present beautiful (& hilariously funny) Mother/Daughter duo, Susan Sarandon (62) & Eva Amurri (24). Sarandon won an Academy Award for her role in Dead Man Walking & has appeared with her daughter in The Banger Sisters & Friends. Amurri rocked out in Saved! as Cassandra, the rebel girlfriend to Macaulay Culkin.

"She did get into a fight in kindergarten because someone was calling me a 'movie star' and she said I was an 'actor.' I thought that was a really significant fight that she had to defend me as an actor and not a movie star. "

Sarandon on Amurri
InStyle Magazine

I can only imagine growing up with Susan Sarandon as a mother. Although the "sex talk" must have been slightly less awkward coming from someone who did love scenes with Brad Pitt.

Mommy & Me (1st installment)



With Mother's Day quickly approaching, I have been thinking about dynamic mother-daughter duos. I remembered reading an article about Rashida Jones (33) & her beyond gorgeous ex-model mother, Peggy Lipton (would you believe that she is now 62??), in Allure Magazine last year. Besides the obvious perfect anti-aging gene passed down this line, Lipton gave credit to her strict moisturizing regime for her ageless, flawless skin.



Lipton's advice inspired me to sleep in a moisturizing mask last night grasping onto that shred of hope that I too could perhaps age in this manner! I use LING's Moisturizing Facial Masque & even though they suggest leaving it on 15-30 minutes, I like to leave it on overnight for a true moisturizing "treatment." You can find it here.

At least we know one thing for sure...Rashida has absolutely nothing to worry about as she gets older, especially with her endless funny-girl roles in The Office & I Love You, Man. The rest of us can still dream...
