Tragic


May his soul rest peacefully. And I hope the animal or animals that did this to Julian, his uncle, and grandmother get everything that they deserve. I do not believe in the death penalty, but this person(s) should spend the rest of their natural born lives in prison, on regulations, never to see the light of day again. I mean how can one do this to a family. To a little innocent boy, he was only seven, seven years old. How can a seven year old child harm someone that you have to take their life. No one should ever feel it is their duty, or that they have the right to take anothers life away. I honestly do feel for the Hudson family, I am tearing up writing this. It is just sad. Honestly to shoot a child, multiple times is just evil, cruel, and is just animalistic.

Lauren Hutton New Face...


According to Vogue.com, Mary-Kate and Ashley has decided to make 64 year old model/actress Lauren Hutton the face of their clothing line. Here is what Mary-Kate had to say: "She's just a wise woman and she's a traveller and she's obviously a style icon," Ashley also added "She's older and she's beautiful, and that is sexy to us." Not sure which line she will be the face for, but I think it just might be Elizabeth and James. Anyway this is an interesting collaboration, but I do see where their head is with it, and I think it will turn out great.

Stripe Me


I love love love this striped wrap that Taylor is wearing on the set of Gossip Girl. When I seen it a couple of days ago it was love (I know I use the word loosely when it comes to clothes), but anyway I went on a hunt. And here are the results for some of you all who has been eyeing this lovely piece also. Ok, this sweater is designed by Jamison Rollin and it is rightfully called the Jamison Rollins stripe wrap hooded sweater, and the color is pepper. I dont know what it is about this piece that demands all of my attention, maybe its the hood (which I love), or maybe its the fact that its long, and look extra comfy yet soo stylish. No matter what it is this is a perfect piece to own. The stats: its a 100% cashmere and can be yours for...398.00. Also dont you just love the color, Pepper.
