Well HELLO LOVER...
*Danika*.
OMELLE
.
(pronounced "ahm' elle")
.
Created by L.A. shoe lovers Cherise Angelle & Nicole LaFave.
the shoes are unique & stylish... with architectural details...
.
F/W 2009 Collection...
.
& the best part, besides getting a fabolous pair of shoes,
instead of wasted tissue paper to keep the shoes safe,
a cute & chic bow bag is included with every shoe purchase!
simple & sweet!
.
.the bow bag itself is cute enough,
but it is the shoes that are the real stars
they are like pieces of art for your feet!
they are pricey, ranging from $500 & upwards ...
but something you can not put a price on is beauty!

famed fashion photographer Steven Meisel shot the images for the ads,
he also shot the Material Girl herself for the past two seasons for her campaigns.
"Because the collection loosely took its cues from the idea of the New Age traveller, we decided to create a green, outdoorsy set that would evoke a spirit of peace and love. To model the clothes, we wanted a modern, iconic, sexy beauty ... it had to be Lara Stone,"
said Marc Jacobs, artistic director of Louis Vuitton
the *Audrey Hepburn* auction ...

The sale even included the infamous ivory satin bridal gown, which was created for Audrey by the Fontana Sisters, for the proposed marriage to James (later Lord) Hanson.

The pieces were sold by Kerry Taylor auctions
Welcome to Vintage Heaven...
A vast collection of couture
and iconic pieces
from Audrey Hepburn were sold yesterday.
The collection included a little bit of everything from
haute-couture evening dresses, divine little cocktail ensembles, sensible tweed coats,
chic & glamorous dressing gowns, accompanied by wonderful accessories
-dating from 1953 to the late 60's.
Many of the 36 pieces in yesterday's auction were in Audrey's signature colors.
She preferred to wear pastel colors,
black, and ivory with the occasional hot-pink statement.
The collection also included a bundle of letters from Audrey,
where she wrote about everything from
an early film break, her proposed wedding to James Hanson,
& her time she spent filming 'Roman Holiday'.
Amongst the rare & unique pieces up for bids
were a number of chic little black dresses by Valentino,
haute-couture evening dresses by Elizabeth Arden
& of course couture pieces by her all-time favorite designer: Hubert de Givenchy.
The sale even included the infamous ivory satin bridal gown, which was created for Audrey by the Fontana Sisters, for the proposed marriage to James (later Lord) Hanson.
When she called the engagement off some weeks later,
Audrey asked the designers to "find a poor, beautiful girl" to give the wedding dress to.
Audrey was known for her rather tiny size, so
only the slimmest bidders will actually be able to squeeze themselves
into these iconic pieces of couture!
The Breakfast at Tiffany's star was 5ft. & 7 in's tall,
bust 32in, waist 22 in, & hips 34 in
rumored bidder Victoria Beckham would have no trouble at all squeezing into those!
The pieces were sold by Kerry Taylor auctions
at La Galleria, Royal Opera Arcade in Pall Mall, central London.
And half of all the money raised went to the
Audrey Hepburn Children's Fund & Unicef
for their joint venture
'All Children in School'
-which aims to provide teaching for 115 million children worldwide.

don't forget to stop and smell the roses...
.
Simply because, that's life!
We all seem to be living life on fast-foward these days...
running from one thing to another
&
trying to do about 5 tasks at once
driving to an appointment while on the phone arranging our next
Why do we do this?
Simply because, that's life!
But we should take the time
(find the time)
to stop and smell the roses ...
"life moves pretty fast, if we don't stop and look around once in awhile we could miss it"

*Shoes-day Tuesday*
I HATE tennis shoes...
(maybe because of the main reason they are used for)
BUT
these changed my mind...
& this pair would definitely motivate me to go to the GYM!
which isn't a bad thing,
after all the holiday food and reheating of leftovers I've had in the past 5 days!
