I’ve had these pics for a little over a week, but I just was so busy! I am sharing them now!
Look @ little Dakota Fanning! I can’t believe she is so old now! I was shocked when I saw her in the New Moon (Twilight Trilogy) movie! And even in Secret Life of Bee’s I couldn’t believe how tall and dangly she’d gotten. But these pics, for Italian Vogue, she is so big! Big as in grown up. I feel so old when I watch people grow up. I’m sure people feel the same way when they see me. You hear it all the time “Yeah, I remember when you were yay high” LOL?
Idk what is up with these Lourdes eyebrows, but I guess that’s Italian fashion.. She doesn’t even look like the cute little girl from Man on Fire in some of these pics.. but that is hollywood life for you!!
Very Penny Lane
And these shoes: HOT HOT HOT!!!!
Who can read Italian to say what brand those are? They are bomb.com and then some! Need more info!

I just learned something new today::
BCBG Max Azria is named for the French phrase “bon chic, bon genre”—which means “good style, good attitude”—and is the lower-priced fashion arm of the company that includes Max Azria and Hervé Léger by Max Azria.
Because I enjoy little pieces of random trivia I found this extremely interesting. I can now file it away to my room of useless facts.
And here is something from the new BCBG Max Azria line: I love the color!

SO, apparently a girl really can have her glass slipper. It’s just going to cost her 7,500 dollars!!!!!!!
Pasquale Fabrizio, who is this UBER talented “shoe cobbler to the stars” has designed these glass slippers. I have never heard of Pasquale, probably since I’m not a star, but according to laweekly.com
He once built a three-legged monster costume for two 300-pound wrestlers. He fashioned a steel brace for the shared third leg, so that one wrestler standing inside the suit wouldn’t crush the other’s foot. He built up the calves of Angelina Jolie’s Jimmy Choo boots in Mr. & Mrs. Smith to make them thigh-high, and he swapped out the heels — 80 pairs at a time — so she could run around comfortably during stunts. He duplicated Muhammad Ali’s Everlasts — down to the tassels — for Will Smith, then, as Smith wore out their rubber soles from hours of practice in the ring, he resoled them. When Frank Darabont, the director of The Green Mile, needed the squeak removed from a pair of boots, Fabrizio came through … and did so again when Darabont changed his mind and wanted the squeak returned. One regular customer even implored Fabrizio to fix a Jacuzzi cover. The dog had chewed it.
WTH is Murano glass you ask (because I did) its some super secret Italian way of making glass!! According to wiki, most Murano glass art is made using the lampworking technique. The glass is made from silica which becomes liquid at high temperatures. As the glass passes from a liquid to a solid state, there is an interval when the glass is soft before it hardens completely. This is when the glass-master can shape the material.
I’m not a 100% fan of the shoe, because I don’t like the thin strap across the front, but that heel design is TTIIGGGHTTT and I love the gold beads and ankle strap. BOMB!! Not that I have 7,500 to be spending on them anyway!

Maybe the name Patricia Field isn’t a household name for you ( it definitely isn’t for me!) but you may have seen her purse in some released photos from the upcoming Sex and the City 2 move? maybe?
Well, Patricia Field for Keith Haring (*insert confused face*) has a line of limited edition plastic magazine clutches. I love them! I think they are soooo cute and fun and bright. What better way to dress up a dull work wardrobe!
Cost: 80 bucks
Hotness: 4 outta 5 stars
***Update***
I had no idea who Keith Haring was (hence the inserted confused face), but my homegirl Tamiah hit me and let me know Keith Haring was an artist from the 80’s who created that look. He died in the 1990. The crawling baby was his signature. See, we learn something new all the time! And I guess I could have Wikipedia’d him before posting, but learning this way was much more effective!

In the back of my closet there is (and don’t judge me) a pair of Lucite heels .. they didn’t cost nearly as much as this Fendi pair of heels, so imagine my shock when I saw stripper shoes could be so damn expensive.
These Fendi Khaki colored wrap / platform sandals are making my heart melt. that 2 inch platform takes some practice to walk on, its not for the weak. Trust me! And the heel, is listed at six inches. UM.. WHAT?? Nina Garcia says you shouldn’t go over 4. I break that rule often, but SIX?? I’ll eye from afar.
The FF logo is on the lucite platorm, and they will cost you $1553. Wow.

I am still on the fence about these Caged Boots I’ve been seeing all around. Something is just off about them, I guess its the whole . . . shell thing?? But the shape and height of these boots is making me drool. I think I kinda love them! You know I’m a SUCKER for the platform.
Christian Louboutin Coussin. Retail : out of my price range. HOT NESS: 4 Stars Height: 14 cm (i don’t convert, sorry!).

I have been a member of Facebook since it was www.thefacebook.com and when you had to be a student at an approved college. It was exciting to check the list they had to see if some of your friends colleges had been added. Then eventually they went and opened to the general public to compete with the now defunct (at least to me) MySpace. Now, its just “Facebook” and its where you go to play MobWars, SororityLife and Sim Social and maybe reconnect with family members you haven’t heard from since 1992. So, let’s see what Time has as the Top 10 Facebook stories of 2009!
1. Facebook, started by a 25 yr old Harvard Dropout surpased 300 million users in Septemeber, starting 2009 with 150million, that equates to 550,000 new members a DAY! A DAY!!!
2. Farmville – I refuse to play this game!! I’m tired of it clogging up my “news feed’
5. Re-Writing your rights: Remember when you found Facebook was able to use your photos? OH, you didn’t know?? oopps!
9. ‘Unfriend‘ made it into the Oxford American Dictionary .. but not even that, it was the WORD OF THE YEAR!! I always thought it was de-friend.. oh well ..
By now, you kn ow the routine, check TIME for the rest of the list.. This also goes with a story I was going to post yesterday with Spreading Sunshine (that I didn’t get to 
) from my boy @HailMaryJane: Five reasons parents don’t belong on Facebook! I guess it was kismet that I didn’t! Half of the things I’ve read before, but they never get old. You never want your dirty laundry aired on Facebook. the funniest: finding out your parents got divorced! that’s just rude! Check the rest of his list over there

Never have I been an Ed Hardy fan. I mean, who was this brand I had never heard of, and why are people so gaga over it suddenly? And why the hell are there skulls on damn near everything? But yet they were so popular it’s a wine now?
And then I’m on Zappos browsing for some scarves and Ed Hardy has some pretty dope ones. Absoutely FAB scarves. Also Absolutely OVERpriced too! And that’s why I freaking LOVE Zappos! I mean, their customer service is the bomb! They are great. They always respond to @ replies on twitter. Even before twitter, when I had to call them, they were helpful. Absolutely adore Zappos and their low costs. And I am loving these scarves I found by Ed Hardy (for a significantly lower price!!)
check them:
Wild Ride Fringe scarf CUTE!!
Silk C'mse - you can't even tell those are skulls!
And this one- my FAV!
They have soo many cute scarves and other accessories you must check them out. Not that I’m going to turn around and become an Ed Hardy fan, but he does have a lot of stuff I wasn’t familiar with. Those skulls just don’t do it for me though. And I’m just not sold on Ed Hardy shoes. The sneakers were cute for kids, but the heels? For women, no bueno!!

Who is Orla Kiely and why do I want her ‘Color Forest’ Printed Shoulder Bag? I LOVE the leather flap-tab closure. Well, I love it when all my crap isn’t falling out the purse.
But this is adorable! I absolutely Love the patter, both inside and out!
I don’t love the $368 price tag Nordstrom’s is tagging this bag for however.
*adds this to Xmas wish list*

*sigh* I want a new leather bag like nobodies business. this Tory Burch ‘Nico’ Genuine Shearling Hobo would SO fulfill that need. Check out the details:
* Magnetic snap closure.
* Genuine shearling.
* Imported.
I’d never been onto Tony birch before I saw this on Nordstrom’s online, but now I have my eye on him!

The other week I was browsing through Macy’s and saw these Guess Boot, Elize style. I thought they were so adorable! I liked the combination of leather and nylon. And the rubber platform. Then it hit me why I thought they were so cute (besides the 4inch wedge heel). The only thing doesn’t sell me is the logo on the side. I’m so not into being branded.
I have a pair of boots just like them! well, not exactly but pretty damn similar from last winter. And they are definitely my FAVORITE winter boots. Comfy & stylish. The JO boot by BCBGirls.
I got this boot last year during Black Friday weekend, and was in love! It wasn’t love at first sight though, more of the love you have to grow into because I wan’t sold on the mixed fabrics. They sold me because they were uber comfortable, definitely didn’t feel like 4 inches. AND they were warm inside & my calves fit comfortably inside. Love.
Now I’m torn, do I really NEED the Guess boots? HHMMM???

Dec 1 2009. Wow, this year flew! The worst thing about this year is now all the countdown shows and Best Of shows that will be making their rounds.AND all the good TV shows go on hiatus! This is why I have a stash in the DVR for times like this.
Well, I have my own personal countdown. I want to do a few things before 2010, or in early 2010. I thought living closer to NYC in 2009 would make me do more things there, but then I was strapped for $$. But I do want to check out a few plays. So, I checked out acheapseat.com to see if their prices were good.Why did I choose acheapseat? If I am going to go to a show or concert, or anything I want really good seats. No nosebleeds for Cleo.I want the best seats in the house, and sometimes other sites don’t always have them (probably because sites like theirs buys them up to resell them).
Well, I don’t know what you consider good, but I just can’t see myself spending over $200 bucks for Jersey Boys Tickets (don’t ask, but I’m a geek that way!) I’m a cheap skate. I k now, that doesn’t really match (best seats + cheap) but this is why I frequent sites like these. I’m always trying to score a deal.
So, I moved on to my next thing, which I knew would be expensive, Addam’s Family Tickets. I mean, who can resist seeing Wednesday in all her gothy glory?*sigh* That isn’t even showing until March, and the tickets for that were from between $160-245. Maybe someone will love me enough to snag me some tickets for my birthday *ahem May 21 ahem*
But even so, the creme de la creme of alllllll the show I want to see is Cirque du Soleil. And I know those tickets are crazy expensive, and the fact that its not really in my target area. I still want to see it though! How can I justify buying Cirque de Soleil tickets in VEGAS? Please, tell me how? I need to see them before I grow old!
Anything you guys want to do before we enter 2010?? I mean, there ar ea few things I want to, like get a new tattoo! I did accomplish living on my own, no roomate. I also paid off my credit cards (again), and of course starting this site and getting the layout out.
But this year was not without trouble too, but we’ll address that later!

1. Models + High End Fashion Brands? <<— UM!! What?? talk about branding! I felt like I was going to get in trouble for seeing these NUDE models! But this is nudity without raunchy. Oh, and if that is the site owner in the header graphic .. I need more of that in my life.
2.Running for a cause or just running to run? Either way, I want to run a 5k SOON! <—I used to practice running doing the mentioned formula. It really does help. I did it not because I was lazy, but because I get THE worst shin splints. Don’t know what a shin split is? See HERE
3. Resume Writing Tips from a cool chick persepctive. <<—- OH, and she used to work in HR so I kinda want to listen to what she’s saying. You should too!
