We All Live In a Yellow Submarine


Psychedelic Tuesdays with  THE BEATLES !

Greatest film ever made

Audrey's Soles

Let's take a walk through of the many shoes worn and made popular by the great Audrey Hepburn throughout her film career.


no one could walk like Audrey, and no one ever will.

 In Sabrina and  Funny Face, the iconic Black Ballet Flat was worn and made extravagant.

 No movie is more glamourous than Breakfast at Tiffany's , where high fashion and expensive things were all frosting on the cake for Audrey's character, Holly.  After that film, the "Kitten heel" became noted as by far the classiest heel of them all.
  And in Wait Until Dark, horror is the new black and she fought back in tall Wellington Boots
 Oh, Audrey!

Girl's got "sole!" 


I’m Seeing Red

Red bottoms are no longer seen as a design element they are now a fashion statement. It seems like whenever you turn on the television, or go to the movies Christian Louboutin’s red bottoms are the only soles you see. Every woman in Hollywood owns at least one pair of the trendy heels, weather if it’s a rocker like Gwen Stefani or a classic actress like Meryl Streep, they are a must have.


Louboutin’s are becoming so popular that Jennifer Lopez entitled her song Louboutin.  In 2009 Jennifer Lopez and Brandy both recorded the song talking about “just throwing on their Louboutins” It is not just female artist singing about the beautiful shoes rappers like Jay-Z and Rick Ross also mention the shoes in some of their recorded hits.  If musicians are not singing about the hot shoes they are wearing them in the videos like Fergie in the ‘Imma Be’ video. Stars are so obsessed with that red bottom they just can’t get enough.  

Reality television is not going to go away anytime soon, it is a guilty pleasure we all like to indulge in, but when watching your favorite show have ever noticed a lot of red? One show that seems to be just a sea of red bottoms is Keeping Up With The Kardashians. The only shoes that these women wear are Christian Louboutins; if they are going to a red carpet event or just shopping they have on a pair of the stylish shoes.  Even if you are not interested in the Kardashian drama, you want to watch a talk show like Oprah look down at her feet I’m positive you will see the famous red bottom. Or if you are interesting in a good sitcom the girls from Gossip Girl and the women from Desperate Housewives have been seen in Mr. Louboutin shoes a few times.

Lights, camera, Louboutins. That’s how the movies feel now; Christian Louboutins are becoming the common denominator in films. I have spotted the red soles in several box office hits like Devil Wears Prada, The Back Up Plan, Valentine’s Day and Bad Teacher. That’s only naming a few, the characters in these movies have on thing in common and that is the label on their shoes.

Louboutins are beautiful shoes, and they have a very pricy tag on them but most women see them as a wonderful investment. The only down fall with these stunning shoes is that it seems like everyone who is everyone in Hollywood owns a pair and they could own your pair.  I don’t think that this brand will disappear any time soon and right now I’m really enjoying looking at them, but now there is not sense of surprise you know that when you look at a magazine, turn on the T.V., or go to the movie theater you know what shoe the main character will be wearing.

Creature of the Night

It's that glorious time of year where pumpkins, black cats and good old Macabre comes in full force whenever the sun goes down.






This is Halloween, this is Halloween! 



As the Night of the living dead approaches, it appears that some desginers were inspired by the Dark side

Hardly, Strictly Bluegrass trends and all around good music

This past weekend  Hardly, Strictly Bluegrass music festival once again took over the heart of Golden Gate Park with a jam packed three day line-up consisting of only the best names in the music world, such as Robert Plant, Bright Eyes and Thurston Moore.

The sun was shining and so were the concert goers who roamed from all corners of the city, ready to dance, clap their hands and sing a long to the sounds that filled the grassy fields.

The atmosphere of the festival is reminiscant of modern day Woodstock, in the way people come out and dress so effortlessly in their own personal style.

This year the top trends that stood out in the crowd were: long maxi skirts, floppy felt and panama hats, bell-bottom jeans , high waisted denim shorts, leather and denim cut vests, vintage long cap sleeved dresses, sandals and boots.










Another amazing year of this festival has come and gone, but this year definitely left it's mark on the city, people and even the performers.
Guy Garvey of the band Elbow, who hit the main stage on sunday said, " It's the coolest American festival that I've been to," in Rolling Stone's review of the weekend. And fellow performer, Jason Isbell tweeted, " I do declare, Hardly Strictly is the best festival in America."

So if you missed it, don't worry! Who knows what banjo strumming bands will take their place in next year's line-up and what surprises are in store from it.
