Os editor at large shares what shes loving this month.

since norah Jones released her debut album, Come Away with Meand her voice is just as enchanting as ever. i love the sad, beautiful cut shes 22 from Little Broken Hearts, her new album: Shes 22, and shes lovin you, and youll never know how it makes me blue, does it make you happy?

Its been ten years

yellows my favorite color, orange is my second, and i love a pretty plaid. This Trina Turk beach bag is roomy enough to hold all my books, the weeks worth of newspapers i tend to haul around, and a pair of clogs for when my high heels leave me feeling crippled.

Not now doesnt mean not ever.

When environmentalist Majora Carter lost a local election, her mentor gave her this bit of encouragement, which she shared at a luncheon I attended.

gayle with mom-loving Justin Timberlake.

I once heard

that your personality is formed by the time youre 5 years old. That certainly appears to be the case with bravo executive andy cohen, the man behind Top Chef and the Real Housewives franchise. in his new book, Most Talkative, he writes that he knew three things from an early age: he was gay, he loved television, and he couldnt stop talking. i cracked up reading about the time his aunt Judy dumped a pitcher of iced tea over his head during a road trip to shut him up!

I love a man who loves hIs mama

I salute the gourmet food shop Joans on Third in Los Angeles for their inventive use ofwait for itraisin bread with heavenly melted goat cheese and fig preserves. To steal a line from my friend Tyler Perry, halla-loo-yer!

which is one of the many reasons im crazy about Justin Timberlake. when i recently chatted with the singer and actorhes also the face of givenchys latest fragrance for men, play sportit was so special to hear him adoringly describe his mom, lynn, as a regular southern steel magnolia. he says shes the reason hes attracted to women who are confident and grounded. go, mom!
