Supple, soft, textural — I can't resist. Yes, simply irresistible suede is high maintenance — so it's best to wear it now, before rain drops — but it's worth it. In case of a downpour, make sure to weatherproof your puppies and wear rain boots to and from your destination.

The opening ceremony of the 2008 Olympics took place at the symbolic 8:08:08 local time (early this morning for the US) but it's due to broadcast starting on America's East Coast at 7:30 p.m. (and 7:30 p.m., PDT as well.)
The $100 million extravaganza (more than twice the cost of 2004's show) drew 91,000 spectators watching the 35,000 fireworks and almost 3,000 lights during the four-hour ceremony. The capper of the event is gymnast Li Ning, three-time Chinese Gold medalist being lifted by wires, circling the entire stadium in the air before using the torch to light the massive Olympic cauldron.

The anticipation has been building and finally the opening ceremony of the Olympics is tonight! The program is reported to be three and half hours long and quite lavish. NBC was so impressed with rehearsals that they extended their coverage of the show and the show will air 7:30 ET/PT, instead of 8:00.

Though I appreciate the way poets twist words, I would like to call attention to their trend setting sense of style. It's all about waxing poetry with big, floppy bows. There's something about this casually loose tie that adds a romantic flair to any outfit.

Tie your laces in some oxfords. No longer associated with cheesy salesmen and schoolgirls, flat oxfords have been updated in enough colors and finishes to please every whimsy. Get girlie and wear them with a flirty floral dress or be '80s inspired and pair them with skinny jeans and a loose top a la Selma Blair.

I wonder if Argentinean teenagers are the real trendsetters of the world. What am I mumbling about? I happen to have a pair of sock sandals that I purchased in Buenos Aires two years ago.
