While sister Nicky opted to wear a fun Tibi dress to the The Good Life photograph event, Paris Hilton chose to show up in head-to-toe white. In fact, she wore the same origami-detailed Yoana Baraschi dress that Halle Berry wore last week while running errands in LA. Halle went the more casual route and chose to mix it up by wearing red flip-flops and an ivory Versace bag.

One of my favorite things about Real Simple magazine is their beautifully bland photos. They're so stark and serene, I absolutely love them. However what I love more are those amazing paper contructions.

How cool is this: a greeting card that not only does the normal job of carrying a message, but also pops up and doubles as an origami ornament! The Winter Card, $9.90, was inspired by the Chinese "Magic Flower" paper toy, and comes in lots of different bright colors and patterns. It's perfect for a unique way to tell your best friend happy birthday, your mom thank you, or just to write a quick note to a coworker!
