So, this time, in my quest for Leonardo DiCaprio's love, something amazing happened - in Venice today, he learned about Fashionable Earth, took one of our business cards, and promised Neda and Tammy to check out our website and contact us.

I. LOVE. YOU. LEO. FOREVER.

GO. GREEN.

Spotted - BFF Leonardo DiCaprio and Lukas Haas at the Century City Mall. After spotting Lukas back in November, and running after Leonardo and his girlfriend Bar Rafaeli in February, I finally mustered up the courage to speak to them, and by them, I only really mean Leonardo. He looked nervous as I told him about my previous stalking endeavors, but was very nice and charming, and we all took blackberry photos together. My next effort will be getting his digits :)


you know you love me, t.

Life is so busy - I will not be updating for a while - stay tuned !! xo

Spotted – J. Wahl smoking a cigarette and drinking a Diet Coke outside an office building on the corner of Century Park East and Santa Monica Blvd. After asking him if he had change for a $20 bill, he informed me that he only carries around credit cards.

In other people’s “celebrity” sighting news, spotted – Adrian Grenier eating at Le Petit Four with an unidentified friend. Yalda and her mom took pictures of him yesterday :)

Right after I come back from India, I find my new issue of Vogue May 2009 with Indian supermodel Lakshmi Menon gracing the cover. The spread inside is devoted to her hometown of Goa, where we spent 4 days. The photos really capture India’s beautiful culture, and I am so delighted to to have experienced Goa and Delhi. Namaste!

Just came back from India, am still on sensory overload and dreaming of the bold and bright colors, the refreshing temples, and the benevolence of the people. Thank you to Sid and Mona for a brilliant time and a beautiful wedding!

But before I recoup, a public service message -- Listen up LA! Get outside, HEAT WAVE 09 is happening. Bust out your Seals & Crofts and free Ben & Jerry’s and do it. Let’s party like its 1863 - Happy Ridván! See you in the sunshine.

As a former library page in the children’s section of the Los Angeles County Public Library I am beyond excited!!

Everything a girl could want - put together nicely thanks to Karl for the Fall 2009 Ready to Wear Chanel show in Paris.

Can I just say that I want to change my job to some sort of purveyor of cool that approaches high school students and asks them where they got their amazingly awesome clothes?? I did that today at the Century City Mall (as I do EVERYDAY) and I loved it. And then one of the girls asked me if I went to Beverly High- best conversation EVER!

I don’t care if she looks like the main character in “Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?” - Mischa looks fab here. I want to be able to rock those rings and that hat! I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, there is no way homegirl wears Keds apart from the ad campaign.

Iran Accuses 7 Jailed Leaders of Bahai Faith of Espionage.
These types of charges are so archaic and sinister that it should sadden anyone who believes in love, peace, and unity. There are seven Bahá’ís being held in jail solely because of their Faith. Thank you to Rainn Wilson for writing about it and for everyone around the world who has been praying fervently for justice to prevail. Contact your Congressional representative to support House Resolution 175 about the situation of the Bahá’ís in Iran http://iran.bahai.us/.

I’m flying out to NYC in just a few hours, where everyone has Gossip Girl’s number.

Nobody has mine.

But if you need to get in touch with me, I promise I’ll hit you back: talalalalalalalalala@gmail.com.

Lonely Boy sightings encouraged.

Spotted – Leonardo DiCaprio and Bar Rafaeli walking together at the Century City Mall. After walking past them [and regaining my composure] I turned around and waited about three feet away for Leo to finish signing autographs for a few ten year-old girls. He glanced up, saw me coming after him, and he and his supermodel girlfriend turned around and started to run away from me... I can seriously die happy now. Leo and I made eye contact. Even though there was a bit of fear in his eyes.

Because today is my half birthday ...

Whoever is buying, start saving - I need these Balenciaga Hoofs.

Wonderful – the Chanel Spring 2009 Haute Couture Collection – everything in the collection is white, or black and white. Most impressive? All the flowers, headpieces and little caps were created from paper! Oh, Karl, you are so creative in this time of economic downsizing. Get your scissors and construction paper out, kids. We are going to make this happen!

Dear Rest of the World:

Probably you have already heard it from your other friends in Los Angeles, but I wanted to make sure that I drove the point home. It has been over 80 degrees lately here. New York, Paris, Toronto, Munich, and Moscow, enjoy your highs of 20. Chicago and Montreal, good luck out there with -5 today. I hesitate to mention that I am headed to a patio at this time to barbecue. Outside, of course. Now carry on with whatever it is you do out there in the cold.

keep warm,
Tala

PS. Although having fun in the sun, we did lose a dear friend to Los Angeles today. R.I.P. Indie 103.1 – I was pretty bummed to hear the news. Joe Escalante, Jonesey, and the rest of the Indie 103.1 team, thank you for years of awesome music.
PPS. This news does not deter me from putting my Ipod on full blast and lounging out by my pool in the middle of winter. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

My blackberry photos from San Francisco this past weekend. A prize goes to the person who can correctly name which television show the last photo was featured in.

New Year’s Resolution:
