On the road, in bed, in the shower—inspiration is often found in unexpected places. If you're artist-director-rapscallion Julian Schnabel, that place is a random house on the Normandy coast—where he made a discovery that led to Christ's Last Day, a new exhibit debuting tomorrow in Beverly Hills. The story goes that Schnabel had just wrapped filming on The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, for which he might have a Best Director statue waiting at the Kodak Theatre come Sunday. With his head already filled with thoughts of biology and frailty—the film relays the true story of a paralyzed French writer who dictates his entire memoir by blinking one eye, his only functional body part—he stumbled across an uninhabited Berck-sur-Mer residence that happened to be filled with mysterious X-rays from the early 20th century. You'll find Schnabel shows uncharacteristic restraint in his refusal to add much to the stark paintings he derived from those images...though he did blow the skeletons up to gigantic proportions. (The pictured piece is actually almost 14 feet tall.) You might think the show represents a profound method of examining the inner workings of humankind, or you might think it's utter nonsense. Either way, Schnabel will be at the opening reception to hear your pontifications. Just in case you find yourself inspired. Julian Schnabel at Gagosian Gallery, opening reception Feb 21, 6-8pm, exhibit shown through March 22, 456 N. Camden Dr (S. of Santa Monica), Beverly Hills, 310-271-9400

Karen Walker is a New Zealand born fashion designer with a reputation for her original, effortless and unpretentious style. The Karen Walker clothing labels are stocked in over 140 stores throughout the world in cities including New York, London, Hong Kong, Los Angeles and Sydney and in over 20 cities throughout Japan. She receives fantastic editorial coverage including regular pages in American and English magazines such as i-D, Dazed and Confused, Elle, Black Book, Vogue, W and Nylon. Karen’s collections are high casual with one foot in tailoring and the other in street wear. The reoccurring theme is taking extremes and pushing them together - masculine and feminine, tailored and street, luxury and non luxury, dark and super-cute. Overall the label has a feeling of effortlessness and has been described by the U.K.’s Independent newspaper as being ‘The kind of look that provides a means of appearing cool but not trying-too-hard, cute but not saccharine, alternative but not self consciously so. The fact that these clothes appear to be so totally not ‘fashion’ is what makes them so now”. Check out more here!!!!

Okay everyone that knows me pretty much knows that I'm a shoe junkie.... I WANT THESE!!!!! (and will do anything for a fix). So I have decided to dedicate Tuesday's to my shoe pick of the week.

Nordstrom provides a lustful Rx for this chunky knot peep toed shoe. Nautically inspired the sandal is supported by a fabric-wrapped heel and a two-tone platform. The shoe has an adjustable knot at the ankle with an approx. heel height of 5" with a 1" platform. The upper is fabric with a leather lining and sole.

"Dominic" can satisfy your fix for $320.00

A current feature of Lux Couture are the Bird Handbags, a line that offers chic and easily wearable ostrich, snake skin and lamb leather bags.

Liz Carey, the designer for Bird, has a modern and luxurious spin on skin, but with a bohemian sensibility. A former model who spent many years living the rock n’ roll life in London while married to a member of the band Oasis, Carey’s designs reflect her glamorous life experiences. She is now based in Malibu and her bags have already made a big splash in the L.A. fashion scene.

You too can own this exotic bag dubbed the"one night stand" made of Lambs Leather, with an ostrich handle and suede interior for a mere $1,150.

If a "one night stand" is not your forte, a generic prescription is being carried at your local Nordstrom.
