Literally the cutest thing on the earth…Miss Suri Cruise.

LL and Dina and SamRon and her mom had dinner at one of our favorite restaurants in NYC, Bar Pitti.  Bar Pitti is casual trattoria in the West Village that serves fabulous Italian food – pasta that melts in your mouth.  It’s where celebs go to be seen without being scene.  Slight reputation for difficult service, and you’ll definitely have to wait to sit outside, so maybe try it on a weeknight.  And did we mention it’s not too pricey?  Meals about $10.

Everyone knows we love the Pacey who was hopping ledges at the Ice Box and doing Scottish interpretations at the Miss Windjammer pageant.  But who is this whole new Pacey?!?  He’s all grown up and looking dapper in his long trench.  Pacey credits gf Diane Kruger for his man-chic style, and we say hats off to the young Clive Owen look-a-like (even if his pants are a little short).  Pacey, we knew you were a catch when you stuck it out with Andie through her brunette dye job mishap, but we never knew you were such a good dresser!  Who knew we could love you even more?

We love the trouser from Banana Republic.  It’s no secret we love our skinny jeans (and thanks for all the confirmation that skinny jeans aren’t going anywhere), but here is a fun alternative from BR for $98.  To see more of their fall denim trends, click here.

We like bags more than shoes, but every now and then we find a pair of kicks that make “Stop and Staaaaaaare,” and here they are!  We used to hate animal print, but light animal prints, especially tan and white and tan and cream are uber-tasteful and hip.  These Sergio Rossi Giraff print heels are gorg, and a great look for 2008.  For more fall shoe trends, click here.
