Sir Marc Jacobs

Yes you read it right, designers Marc Jacobs and Nathalie Rykiel were honoured with knighthoods by France's Order of Arts and Letters. Marc is recognized as the artistic director of Louis Vuitton and Natalie as the president and creative director of the label started by her mother, Sonia Rykiel. Culture Minister Frederic Mitterrand presented the two with the honour, praising their contributions to the fashion world.

The Order of Arts and Letters is an Order of France, established in 1957. Its purpose is to recognise the contributions to the arts, literature, or the propagation of the fields.

You may be interested to know that Marc did not wear his typical kilt to the ceremony, but opted for a dark blue business suit.

Directorial Debut

One of the loves of my life, Mr. Tom Ford has made his directorial, writing and producing debut in the new film A Single Man. To which he got Golden Globe nominations in the following categories: Best Performance by an actor in a motion picture, Best performance by an actress in a supporting role in a motion picture, and Best original score. Although the film didn't win any, getting three nods for a debut is not too shabby!!

Closet Raider

I love snooping in other peoples closets!..with their permission of course. I was browsing on the internet and came across some celebrity closets. Wouldn't they be the best? I have 3 closets designated for clothes, but they have 2 or 3 ROOMS. Here are some snaps of a couple celeb clothing gallaries. Rachel Zoe:

Paris Hilton:Eva Longoria:

Christina Aguilera:

Personally, I would either go for Rachel Zoe or Christina's closets if I could choose. Rachel is so fashionable but Christina is very old Hollywood glamour. It would be tough! But, I know I wouldn't choose Paris' closet, too many tight, short and hoochy clothes for me!

Whose closet would you rather raid?
	Rachel Zoe
	Christina Aguilera
	Eva Longoria
	Paris Hilton

Foxy Lady

Beckham is out and the Fox is in! This message hits the news as the new ad campaign for Armani underwear and jeans hits magazines today.

I will say that I am a bit disappointed that my girl Victoria got the boot as the face of Emporio Armani, but after seeing the new campaign I do love the switch from hard and edgy to sultry seduction. I have always thought that Megan Fox was hot. Back when she was on the sitcom Hope and Faith I always wondered, why is this girl on here? When is she going to realize that she is too gorgeous to be on this show? Not long after the show was cancelled she was staring alongside Shia Lebeouf in transformers and was the sexiest woman ever on the red carpet. Because of this I was not surprised when I heard that she was going to be doing an ad campaign for Armani underwear. The debut today of the campaign was no disappointment. The spread is great. Very sexy, very alluring. Megan always has this hardness about her, but she was able to leave that behind in these photos.

Tie Me Up

I was taken cross-country skiing for the first time yesterday! It was actually pretty easy and fun once you get the rhythm of pushing and gliding down. Being a down hill skier myself, I thought cross-country skiing would come naturally to me, but I didn't take to it like a fish in water. At first I didn't like that your heels moved, or that you couldn't use your bindings to steer. It took me 1 hour to go 1.63 km up and down the hills, but by the end I was doing pretty well! I will be back tomorrow for the 3km trail...maybe I should pack a lunch.
Anywho, while not shimmying along the ski trails, I busied myself trying to make a tie-belt. I love tie belts because there are no holes! It doesn't matter how big you are, you can always make them fit. I also love them because they can potentially go with anything from outter-wear to fancy to casual. Here was my end result:

New Year, New Lovers

i popped down to the States yesterday and picked up these lovelies! 4.5 inches of love. I have been looking for some nice studded booties and I thought these were just fun :)

top: Banana Republic; booties: Wild Rose

Happy New Years

I wanted to say, Happy New Year to you all! I hope you had as great a time as I did!

New Christina

It looks like Christina Aguilera is upping her style anti and creating an edgier self! After she chopped off her locks in early November, the last few pictures I have seen of her, she has ditched her 50's glam.

Out today at Cecconi's restaurant in West Hollywood, she was sporting some amazing Christian Louboutin boots and a Union Jack McQueen clutch. I'm not loving the bob on her yet, but I am loving the clothes. What do you think of her new look?

T.Dot

I spent another lovely day in Toronto today. It was freezing cold and snowing all over the place but I still had fun! I think I finally have a good handle on the Toronto bus and subway system...however I have yet to attempt the streetcar adventure. I visited the Bata Shoe Museum, it was interesting but not worth the adult fee (go Thursday after 5 and admission is free). Next I hit the Eatons center, always great fun and then I went to the ROM to see the Vanity Fair exhibit which is worth a look.

This is a little black dress I tried on at H&M. Amazing texture and ruffly straps. for only $39.99!

The Bata shoe exhibit. I was interested in the pedestal showcase.

fun fact: high shoes like this were a legally mandated aspect of dress for prostitutes in many parts of Italy around the 12th century. An order by the Florentine Office of Decency in 1384 stipulated that prostitutes must wear platform footwear.

Fun fact: High heels were popular for both men and women. They were seen as a status symbol, those with high heels vould not do manual labour.
