Up until two weekends ago, I had no clue Glass Candy existed as a band, and not just as some cutesy decorative piece for say, a coffee table.
After hearing them perform live at an opening party in Las Vegas for MAGIC - they were so so so good – I couldn’t help but purchase their entire album on iTunes.
Hailing from Portland, Glass Candy’s sound is a blend of electro-pop with disco and rock. Lead singer Ida No {who is as cute as a button} and guitarist/ synthesist Johnny Jewel compose the eccentric group. Listen to one of their songs here.
Have you heard about Tom Ford’s directorial debut? It’s called A Single Man starring Colin Firth, Julianne Moore, and Ginnifer Goodwin and it just debuted at the Venice Film Festival. See the gorgeous trailer here…
The Spring 2010 shows have only just begun, but early trends {that I’m loving} include structure, shorts, color, transparency, and chic one-piece swimwear with a retro nod, as illustrated below…

It seems that society just can’t get enough fashion these days…and being that it’s New York Fashion Week, the Sundance Channel has kicked off it’s four-part fashion documentary series The Day Before , which chronicles four designers and the last 36 hours before their runway shows. Sam and I just caught tonight’s episode focusing on the charming Jean Paul Gaultier and it was indeed a stylish nail-bitter. Brought to us by documentarian Loic Prigent {who is the man behind 2007’s Marc Jacobs & Louis Vuitton}, it’s a don’t-miss.
Yesterday was the last day for our fabulous intern Minh-Khue! We celebrated with a champagne and Cupkates cupcakes party, and an office field trip to see The September Issue. What a perfect way to end the week and celebrate a wonderful intern’s time with us. Thanks for everything MK! We’ll miss you! xx

Ahhh…a cupcake truck that spreads it’s sweet love throughout the East Bay! Cupkates was started by Kate, a former Dwell editor and {as she claims} Chez Panisse’s worst intern ever. All of us at Ruby Press are thrilled she moved on to cupcakes because her’s are incredibly moist and flavorful. Anyone who knows me knows I am a sweets connoisseur…and these are the best I’ve had in years. {My favorite is s’mores!} Follow Cupkates’ Twitter feed to know where the truck will pop up next.
Ruby Press is a boutique PR agency based in Berkeley, California. We've created this blog so that we can share what we're currently obsessing over... When we find something we love, we want to tell everyone!
