 Free People Recycled Leather Satchel

 The Sophisticated Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Moon

Unfortunately, a 37mm looks kind of silly on my 7.5″ wrist. Otherwise, a Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Moon like Rob’s ( friend of the show since 2004) would be a perfect timepiece for formal occasions. Although Jaeger-LeCoultre seems to have entered a different route to approach its clients since a while, with big bulky watches or with high-tech materials, this Master Moon with a diameter of 37mm and a height of just 10mm is a true classic that at least will look good on you in a few decades from now.

 See Beyonce, Black Eyed Peas, Lady GaGa & More Red Carpet Royalty At The Grammys!

No disrespect to the boys, but the 2010 Grammy Awards really could’ve been renamed “Ladies’ Night” given the majority of the event’s biggest nominees, winners, and knock-your-socks-off performances. Taylor Swift took home the night’s most coveted honor (surprise, surprise), but fellow musical leading ladies Beyonce , Carrie Underwood , and Fergie (along with the rest of BEP, of course) held their own onstage and on the red carpet ! Lady GaGa defied gravity in a sparkly orbit dress complete with bedazzled Nina Ricci platforms, and Beyonce (now the most Grammy-decorated female ever !), seems to have taken over JLo’s daring fashion role with her down-to-there necklines.

 Movie Monday:The International

Murder, conspiracy, rogue agents; this flick had all the makings of a good, edge-of-your-seat watch. What’ll you’ll really get wrapped up in though–well, if you’re a knitter, anyway–is the comfy cardigan the ADA Whitman dons during the drama!Naomi Watts as “Eleanor Whitman”, wearing a

 Boston’s Logan Airport Ditches Glue Traps

Whenever people ask where my parents got my name, I never miss a beat before saying “The X-Men.” Am I really named after Wolverine? Maybe, maybe not, but as a lifetime comic book fan I think it’s a better story than “My great-great uncle three times removed was a Civil War hero …” and, well, you get the point. After today, though, I just might start mixing my story up a little, considering that I now share my name with another hero for animals: Boston’s Logan Airport has agreed to stop using glue traps and is the latest recipient of PETA’s Compassionate Action Award
