Balenciaga Bag Haul

I scored an authentic Balenciaga bag from a thrift store in New York City last week and I thought this is another example of life's beauty. This bag was very popular a few years ago and even though it is no longer the latest trend, I still think it's fashionable. An added bonus was that it was about $10! ( Excuse the camera quality, my digital camera is out of batteries so this is from my webcam.) I checked the authenticity by looking at the mirrored label in the inside with the serial number on the front and back of the label. It may be a little old but this is a bargain and I love it! Happy shopping!

Great-Granny Gets Tattoo at 101 years old!

Wow! Cute babies, animals and old people never seem to disappoint. This lady, Mimi Rosenthal, is 101 years old and still has more guts than me to get a tattoo. She already had two (she got the first at 99) and she just recently added a sunflower on her arm. This is too cute :)

Freida Pinto and the New York Times T Magazine

I saw Slumdog Millionaire and cried like a baby about the injustices that impoverished children face in India's slums. Still, I was even more moved by characters Jamal and Latika's love story. If you haven't seen the movie, you should definitely watch it on a Sunday when you're free. The film also put the actress Freida Pinto (Latika) on the map and since the movie's release in 2008, she has been a model for different cosmetic companies like L'Oreal and Estee Lauder. Here she is on The New York Time's T-Magazine and the link gives you the print magazine in digital form. It's great how far technology has come and shows the future of digital magazines. Enjoy:
