Captured Memories

Heath Ledger's sudden death shows us how fleeting life can be. The blessing in all the mayhem is knowing his daughter will always have his body of work captured on film for years to come.

The movie premiere of Dark Knight this summer will truly be a record-breaking experience. Although future availability is not guaranteed, you are able to reserve a copy of the DVD with Netflix. In the meantime, you can order his collection of work, stemming all the way back to his 1997 role in Roar, a three-disc series capturing A.D. 400. Definitely an actor who had grown from the role of a Celtic prince to a bonafide star.

TWHS: A Stylish Lounge For All

I am amazed and receptive to all the readers and subscribers who regularly e-mail me. Even more so with the fact that some make reference to their husbands, which being the author of a blog about a single girl's view from her stilettos, is complimentary.

I'm curious to know what category do you fall in: single or married? Please let me know by participating in the poll featured at the top of the sidebar. And don't worry, Kevin, I didn't forget about you; your wife can cast your vote! ~~"

Size Does Matter

Barefoot Tess is a style-filled shoe salon in Baltimore, MD that caters to larger-sized footwear, up to size 13. And lest you think they are all basic, unattractive moccasins, think again; they offer a 3 inch-heeled patent stiletto that will give your Manolos a run for their money.

Early January wind gusts and torrential downpours can't block the vision of what's in store for S/S '08, particularly this glam wedge in vibrant blue patent.

Cashmere Mafia Contest

After watching the highly-anticipated Cashmere Mafia premiere last night, I rate it a 7.5 with potential. Imitation may be the sincerest form of flattery, but the attempt to fill the imprint left by the original Manolos in the Concrete Jungle will never be achieved.

Fashion and stilettos aside, the story line of what-comes-first-the-career-or-the-man is truly relateble to me; not so much for the single girl's ownership of both the S word and the L word (did she actually refer to herself as a spinster?!). I'm sorry, but spinster is to a 21st century single gal what an eight-track tape is to audio entertainment.

So in honor of the replacement team of fashionistas, I say embrace the effort; organize a Cashmere Mafia Party by inviting your gal friends over on Wednesdays to start viewing the show. Starting today through January 18th, the subscriber who sends me the most creative list for a themed Cashmere Mafia get-together (menu, invitations, dress code) will receive a 12 fl. oz bottle of Cake Beauty Limited Edition Mint Cashmere Cream Glistening Body Mousse, an organized concoction of peppermint and creamy chocolate, infused with coconut oil, mango butter and soothing peppermint extract, courtesy of Urban Chic Boutique.

What a Style Maven Has To Resort To

Barefoot is the way to go for the most part, but I guess if I were forced to be deserted on a Bora Bora island, I would want to have these as my one pair of shoes to shine in.

It's My Birthday!!!

Ah, the anticipated birthday of a post-New Year's Baby. The day when everyone is broke from the holidaze and bent from New Year's Eve festivities. I can always count on one thing, though, and that is the bouquet of friends who still find time in the aftermath to honor me with a birthday breakfast ...

Alas, I have blossomed into a woman that knows where she's going, what she will NOT tolerate, and most importantly-

Is not afraid to ask for what she wants.

So what do I want on this birthday, besides a decadent red velvet cake from DEAN & DELUCA - The Icon of the American Epicurean Experience?


Why, a year of continuous subscribers, of course! Do me a favor; indulge in a red velvet cupcake on my behalf today ~~"

Celebrate in '08!

Behind all this, some great happiness is hiding...

I am so grateful for the riches placed in my life, one of which is a loyal subscriber base of readers who have been right by my side during this past year of growth...

May the New Year bring you the breakthrough you are in need of in your life, and abundance in every aspect.

Happy New Year,

Felicia
