How GORGEOUS does Rachel Bilson look here? This was taken at the Giuseppe Zanotti party at Fashion’s Night Out.

I was on my way to collect my fashion week invites from the office,  when I found out Heath Ledger died in the most tragic way ever at 421 Broome st. in New York (pictured above). 

As you all know, this isn’t a typical story I follow. I watch the markets all day, think about going to sample sales or think of ways to make Macy’s a better store. But this evening, I saw the crowds outside of the building where his body was being carried out on a stretcher. I read what other reporters saw outside of his Brooklyn home, I called all of my friends that knew him and listen to their stories. I went down to an old hang out of his (The Spotted Pig) to see what little bit of information I could find out about this man I knew nothing about.

It’s now 2:12 am. I am exhausted. But with every story I asked to report out, I  learned something really important today. As much as we kill ourselves for achievement, recognition or a certain level of success, all of those things don’t really matter in the end. If they stop making us happy, then they just. don’t. matter. My thoughts are sincerely with his friends and family this evening/early morning. For real.

If any of you are in the Albuquerque, NM area tune into KOB-FM to hear me give the fashion rundown on Mary J. Blige from last night’s party! If you miss it, I will post it shortly.

Every night I peruse red carpet photos to check out what everyone is wearing. Tonight, I came across these pics of Hillary Swank at the premiere of “PS I Love You” in Hollywood last week. I am OBSESSED with the platinum, gold and diamond chandelier earrings she had on. They are made by Neil Lane, who designs really gorgeous pieces for totally wealthy people and celebrities (rumor has it, he is designing Nicole Richie’s wedding ring- but again, that’s just a RUMOR).  I spoke to Lane during the Oscars last year, and he told me gold as well as black onyx are going to be something we see a lot of on the red carpet in the form of earrings, necklaces, bracelets and rings. And these babies do not come cheap. The price is available upon request which is code for: if you have to ask you probably can’t afford them in the first place!
