David Stark’s New Pop Up Shop

If you thought pop up shops were only for the holidays, think again. Uber creative event designer David Stark has ambushed a tiny little shop in downtown Manhattan. And today is opening day! Wood Shop is open for business inside chic interior design and décor shop, Haus Interior, but it’s happening in the virtual world too -- yup, that means you can get everything online, too.

David Stark has filled the store with his quirky designs and cool aesthetic – all made of or inspired by wood -- which you can purchase for one month only. It’s a limited edition collection. We got to preview the store below – and meet Nina and David in person! So, if you’re can’t stop by, shop online until Feb. 27th.

Get the Look: Sunny Living Room

According to feng shui expert, Jayme Barrett, in order to create an inviting living room you must position the furniture correctly. Your sofa should back up against a wall and face the main entry of the room to create security. If your sofa must face away from the door, then hang a mirror across from it so you can see the door in the mirror.

Here’s how to get the look of this feng shui living room:

Willow Sofa, $1,800, CrateandBarrel.com

SAG Awards 2012: My Red Carpet Rundown

Trend of the night: Lace. I do love me some lace but wasn’t really thrilled with any of these looks on Michelle Williams, Emma Stone and Stacy Keibler. PS: Stacy, we get it -- you're dating Clooney. You can go home now.

I love love love this on Rose Byrne. Just enough of risk to look fashion forward without looking like a complete disaster. I could have done without the Cleopatra meets Anna Wintour hair, but the jumpsuit makes up for it.

When bad stylists happen to good people. I happen to think Dianna Agron has the potential to really hold her own in Hollywood, but if she wears one more prom dress, I’m gonna have to make some calls.

Lea Michele's look is a little too 'Jessica Rabbit' for me, but this is what I’m talking about, Dianna Agron. It’s called Star Quality.

Dear Kristen Wiig, you're one of the few females these days to make a serious impact on not only comedy, but also movies. You're Oscar-nominated; start dressing like it.
