My dog Ruby has the biggest feet you have ever seen on a dachshund. Sometimes I think she is part elephant. If feet weren't so dirty, I would chew on them because they are just so darn cute!!!

R.I.P. Mike Edwards of ELO.......
One of my favorite movies of all time when I was a kid was Xanadu. Nothing compared to the completely insane, magical, mystical world where people jumped out of murals, came to life and started roller skating to an entire amazing ELO soundtrack. Olivia Newton John was definately by far my childhood idol, with her beautiful flowy dresses accented with leg warmers, to her fantastic voice, that made me want to sing into my hairbrush for hours on end. Mike Edwards who founded ELO... thank you for your collaboration on Xanadu, without the incredibly perfect soundtrack to this movie, it never would have been as good as it was and I never would have roller skated my little heart out fantasizing about being Keira while singing all the songs at the top of my lungs in the carport of our apartment complex.....R.I.P.

Lindsey Wixson Fashions New "IT GIRL"!!!!
She is only 15, but already running the gamut of runway shows, and she has an amazing look everyone is talking about!!! Very Reminiscent of Brigette Bardot, don't ya think!!
Last September, amid the swirling chaos that is New York Fashion Week, one girl stood out like a beacon for photographer Gabrielle Revere. "She was just so stunning, and different than all the other girls," Revere recalls of the backstage moment she first met "shy but confident" model Lindsey Wixson, a 5-foot-10 beauty from the decidedly unglam town of Wichita, Kansas. In the few months it took for Fashion Week to roll around again, Wixson's career has skyrocketed: She is now the face of Miu Miu, a gig that's previously gone to Hollywood types like Katie Holmes, Maggie Gyllenhaal, and Kirsten Dunst. Beyond the obvious -- those bee-stung lips, that distinctive gap, the tumbling blond tresses -- how best to describe the 15-year-old's appeal? "She's got something, she's got that thing that defines people," says Revere, struggling to put Wixson's magic into words. In this LIFE.com gallery, Revere follows Wixson through the just-wrapped Fall/Winter 2010 shows, watching as the young model navigates her way through a sea of designers, stylists, makeup artists, paparazzi, and more.

Ann Ellis Jewelry Simply Beautiful Pieces of Garbage.....
Made from things she finds in garbage cans, Ann Ellis has a very creative eye. She creates these pieces of art with plastic bottles aluminum cans and whatever else she can get her hands on to make one of a kind pieces.
Innovative. Unique. Delightful. Green. Meaningful. Bespoke. Plastic bags have never been so glam. My message is simple: don't discard it, be creative. My jewellery, bags, hats and wall art use materials that are due to be discarded, or that have once been something else: plastic bags, drinks cans, rags, salvaged metals and oddments, including vintage beads and small items or textiles of sentimental value. Such things have a history; a starting point from which the new piece evolves. There is also an element of rescue; it seems a shame to discard something that was useful once, if it can be recycled. Thirdly, there is the idea of transformation - something old becoming something new again. So each piece is individual with a unique past, present and future story of its own. Just one more thing: you'll sometimes find me referring to a material as 'Carrierine'. That's a tongue in cheek term I invented for guess what? Check out more of her stuff and how to but it at Ann Ellis.
Jean Paul Gaultier For Roche Bobois...
While he might be best known for his outlandish fashion designs—Madonna’s early 90’s cone-bra being the prime example...
Jean Paul Gaultier has a different sort of fall collection this year, a beautiful new furniture line for his fellow Frenchmen at Roche Bobois.
Jean Paul Gaultier has a different sort of fall collection this year, a beautiful new furniture line for his fellow Frenchmen at Roche Bobois.
The furniture outfit enlisted the infamous fashion designer to create the new pieces, called Jean Paul Gaultier Pour Roche Bobois Paris, to commemorate its golden 50th anniversary. The haute couturian did not disappoint either, creating a progressive collection of furniture that would make the Material Girl proud.

Retro Bikes.....
Ever since one of our friends gave me an extra beach cruiser they had in their garage, I have wondered what in the heck I have been doing all of this time without my own bike! After having the luxury of riding a beach cruiser, you see life from a whole different point of view. You can cruise along, but ride for long periods of time because they are so comfortable, your back doesn't hurt, the breeze blows in your hair, and life is just great! I finally decided to get my self my own bike after falling madly in love with cruisers. Instead of the racing bikes ( I think the costumes for these are a bit much, and a little too Lance Armstrongey for me), or mountain style bikes with gears, I find a ride with minimal hills to be great exercise, along with a nice picnic at the end with friends or family. And I really do like the fashionable retro style of these ones, which are ridiculously affordable between $99 and $119, also go to the website and you can locate a dealer. I am getting mine today at Walmart ,YAY!!
