J.
Crew's Jenna Lyons and her girlfriend, jewelry executive Courtney
Crangi, posed for a photo together in V. Although Crangi and Lyons have
been going to more events together recently — including the Vanity Fair
Oscar party — this is their first portrait for a magazine. V writes that
they behaved on set like "two teenagers in love." Lyons, whose marriage
to artist Vincent Mazeau ended in divorce last year, says of Crangi,
"For me the best thing is knowing that someone really has your back.
Like no matter what happens she has my best interests at heart. I think
there are a few moments in life where that actually happens, and that
feels, like, completely true and real."
Apparently,
Anne Hathaway changed her dress at the last minute before the Oscars
because she learned that Amanda Seyfried was going to wear an Alexander
McQueen dress that was similar-looking to Hathaway's chosen Valentino.
According to a "source," Hathaway "freaked out" when she saw Seyfried's
dress and had stylist Rachel Zoe call in "a bunch of different dresses
hours before the show." The Valentino dress that Anne Hathaway did not
wear, if you care, might have been a version of one from the brand's
spring, 2012, couture collection, which indeed is made from a fabric
that resembles Seyfried's.
Alexa
Chung says that when she posed for the Little Black Jacket Chanel photo
book, Karl Lagerfeld and Carine Roitfeld tried to give her a beard.
"Karl came up with the idea," Chung explains. "I thought 'ok', and I sat
down and [makeup artist] Peter [Philips] said, 'So. We're going to make
the brow stronger, and we were thinking stubble for the face.' And I
was like: 'Can we all STOP thinking stubble for the face?' But they
decided to give it a go. I looked like Oliver Twist...They thought I'd
be down for it, they thought I'd think it was funny, but I was like 'not
if Dakota Fanning is being Marilyn Monroe.'"

These days, leather jackets for women to suit all budgets can be found in almost every high street fashion or department store and with such a huge variety of styles to choose from, you can bet that it won't be too long before you find just what you're looking for.

Biker Jacket - This style of jacket is available either as a genuine motorcycle version, which features strategically placed padding to help protect the body from impact and to keep it warm, or purely as a "fashion" item. It's worth noting that the latter, although styled around a biker jacket, won't be as robust as the genuine article and as such, shouldn't be considered as adequate motorbike safety wear.

It may feature zipped or laced vents which can be tightened or loosened accordingly and studs or other such decorative appliques. A good tip to remember if you're buying a jacket for someone who wants it to wear on a bike is to get them to try it on whilst they're actually sitting on a bike to make sure that it feels comfortable and doesn't ride up.

Rash of Robberies Suggests Burlington Isn't as Safe as We Thought
Burlington
consistently makes the list of “safest cities in America” for its relatively low
crime rate. But a sudden and dramatic increase in robberies this year is
unnerving neighbors and putting the police department on high alert.
For the last several years, the Queen City has averaged about a dozen reports of robbery, a violent crime that differs from burglary and theft because the victim is physically assaulted by the criminal, who is often armed. In 2010,Shop Popular Canada Goose Kensington Parka Parka jackets at Canada Goose Outlet Store. there were 11 robberies; last year, that number inched up to 13.Women's Canada Goose Victoria Parka Graphite ,The design of Canada Goose Parka is the good combination of style and function.
But so far this year, Burlington police have responded to 28 robberies — a more than twofold increase over 2011. Between August 14 and Halloween, there were 17 robberies,Now buy Canada Goose Yukon Bomber will get 50% discount,free shipping and fast delivery. the worst of which was a brazen mugging and shooting in the Old North End on October 12 that left a 25-year-old librarian with a bullet in his back.
“This is a very serious crime,” a stone-faced Police Chief Michael Schirling said during an interview at police headquarters last week. “It is, for us, at the level of murder, attempted murder, serious aggravated assault, sexual assault. They're all at that top tier.”
There were three robberies over a 72-hour period in late September, including a man robbed at knifepoint at 11 p.m. at the intersection of Main and South Union streets downtown. The robberies aren't confined to one city neighborhood — they've occurred in every neighborhood from the South to New North ends — and the perps don't fit a single description.A new Canada Goose Womens Tremblant creates a clean read by getting a discreetly cinched stomach or thinner furrows solely.
The person who robbed Northern Lights on Main Street last April was a lone white male wearing a ski mask and a black T-shirt emblazoned with “Got Ammo!” The victim of an October 21 robbery at North Street and Elmwood Avenue described his attackers as two black males. And the suspects in the September 4 robbery of a Rotary Mart on Shelburne Road were two women who held up the convenience store with a fake gun.
From the 17 robberies since August 14, police have made seven arrests. “That's not bad,” Schirling commented, then added, “We'd like to have 17 arrests and stop this from occurring.”
To that end, Burlington police are turning to federal law enforcement for assistance. Schirling would not discuss details of the collaboration for fear of tipping off the “bad guys,” but he said the BPD has renewed its partnerships with the U.S. Attorney's Office, the federal Drug Enforcement Agency, and the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms to help combat violent street crime.
Nationwide, robberies fell by 4 percent between 2010 and 2011, according to FBI crime figures. In Vermont, robberies were up last year in some communities, such as Barre and Colchester, and substantially down in others such as Brattleboro, where robberies dropped from 16 in 2010 to nine last year.
Chittenden County State's Attorney T.J. Donovan said his office actually prosecuted fewer robberies between May and November than during that same period last year — even as the number reported to police in places like Burlington increased. In other words, more robberies are being reported but fewer cases are getting solved.
Donovan attributed that to a criminal justice system that is “overwhelmed” and also “under pressure” from Montpelier to reduce the number of pre-trial detainees. Donovan suggested it makes no sense to arbitrarily cap the number of detainees prisons can hold, as the state has done. The result can be criminals being released who should be held for trial.
“You have pressures from Montpelier because of budget concerns, rightfully so, that trickle down to the courtroom, that trickle down to the street,” Donovan said.
The causes for the robberies, too, are all over the map. Unlike the rash of break-ins plaguing Burlington this year — largely attributed to drug-addicted criminals — there's no single demographic that describes the robbery suspects, Schirling said.
One thing that's not a factor, according to police, is the bad economy.
“Typically you see the same people involved in crime,” Schirling said. “You tend to see recidivism run across generational lines.The Canada Goose Constable Parka has long been known as the industrial parka of the north.”
Sitting across a wooden conference table in Schirling's office, Deputy Chief Andi Higbee chimed in, “And it's not to put food on the table for their families. That's not what's going on.”
“Some may be related to the drug trade, but it would be a vast overstatement to say that's what's driving all these,” the chief said.
In one case, a 24-year-old Somali immigrant was robbed and stabbed by his alleged accomplices over their share of the loot from a series of thefts. On August 19, Ahmed Hirmoge stumbled into the Champlain Farms at South Winooski Avenue and Main Street at 4:20 a.m., bloodied from stab wounds. He told the clerk someone had “jumped” him behind the convenience store and took his cellphone, bicycle, leather jacket and $130 in cash.
According to police, Hirmoge said he knew the guys who robbed him: They were all breaking into cars the weekend before and scattered when a Burlington police cruiser rolled by. Hirmoge told police he went to the gas station to “get a drink” and ran into his cohorts there, who collected their share of the “proceeds” by force.
Within hours, police had arrested two teenagers for assault and robbery: Connor Fitzgerald, a 17-year-old high school senior from South Burlington with a tattoo on his neck that reads “wild boy”; and Tam Mai, a 16-year-old with a criminal record that began when he was just 10.

Brown, Warren temper rhetoric, stress differences
Fifteen months ago, exploring a run
for the Senate, Elizabeth Warren told 60 activists at a Dorchester house party
that if she had not succeeded in creating a consumer protection agency, there
would have been “blood and teeth on the floor.”
The activists loved it. Here was Warren in full pugilistic mode, the full-throated voice of liberals who had watched dispiritedly as Republicans rose to power on the energy of the Tea Party. At last, they had their counterweight.Canada Goose offers the Canada Goose Manitoba Jacket in women's styles.
Now, as Warren steams into the last two days of her closely fought race with Senator Scott Brown, there is a lot less blood and teeth on the floor and a lot more hugs and hearts on the sleeve. She has softened her image and rhetoric over the campaign, becoming a more polished and, some say, more conventional Democratic candidate.
Brown, a veteran politician who has long branded himself a bipartisan bridge-builder, has undergone his own shifts. He has risked his likability by going on the attack and has pushed his pitch to the left with ads that feature President Obama and tout his support for abortion rights and equal pay for women.
Brown's moves, designed to tarnish his opponent's character and align himself with some Democratic ideals, may reflect the political calculation of a Republican trying to win in a heavily Democratic state in a presidential year.
On Saturday, speaking before several hundred supporters at a rally at Plimoth Plantation, Brown made a direct appeal to voters sick of partisan gridlock. He said Warren would march “in lockstep” with her party while he would be “an independent voter, somebody down there working together with both sides.”
“We are Americans first, and we're in trouble,” Brown said. “We need to find solutions together, because, if we don't find solutions together, we're going to have a very difficult time getting out of this fiscal and financial mess we're in.”
“Thank you for telling us the truth!” a woman yelled.
“Well, amen to that,” Brown responded.
Warren's evolution, from unsparing warrior to more tactical and tempered candidate, may reflect her need to disarm Republicans who attacked her for her aggressive rhetoric and her need to woo voters outside her activist base.
On Saturday, Warren — joined by Governor Deval Patrick and US Representative John Lewis, Democrat of Georgia — addressed about 1,000 supporters at the Reggie Lewis Center in Roxbury, the site of her first major Boston rally one year ago. She mixed her characteristic call to arms against Republicans with an appeal to the American spirit of generosity.
“It's become pretty clear over the last year that this race is about whose side you're on,” Warren said. “The Republicans have made pretty clear how they see that. They say cut taxes for those at the top, and let everybody else pick up the pieces. They are on the side of billionaires, millionaires, and big oil companies. They are saying, in effect, ‘I got mine; the rest of you are on your own.' We are a better people than that.”
Some see Warren's changes over the year as the growth of a candidate who began the race as a political neophyte and learned how to campaign effectively. Others argue that Warren's candidacy was simply retooled by savvy strategists.
Last summer, for example, Warren stumbled in responding to questions about her claims to Native American heritage, citing as evidence a relative who had “high cheekbones like all of the Indians do.” The controversy dogged her for months.Hi guys, I just had a few questions about the Men's Tremblant Jacket. But by the time the issue surfaced in the first debate in September, she had a rehearsed answer ready to go. “This is my family, this is who I am, and it's not going to change,” she said.
“She has learned that there's a very careful balance between choosing your words and also being spontaneous, and that's the art of campaigning,” said Bob Massie, a Democratic activist who ran against Warren in the primary and now supports her.
Todd Domke, a Republican strategist, said that such polishing has turned Warren from a candidate of big ideas into a standard-issue Democrat. For example, Warren's accusation that Brown protects billionaires and Big Oil echoes a line used by other Democratic candidates around the country.
“To me,” Domke said, “it's ironic that the consumer activist who fought for truth in advertising became such a packaged candidate.”
Warren's closing message echoes the original promise she made at that Dorchester house party, to be a fighter. Underscoring the point, she held a rally at a Lowell boxing gym on Friday.
But the two-fisted tone that marked her entrance into the race has been tempered. She still talks about the role of government in laying the foundation for economic growth. Yet she has abandoned the sharp language that set her apart from many other candidates, no longer using lines like, “There is nobody in this country who got rich on his own, nobody.” That was part of the speech she gave last August, which went viral on YouTube.
Warren's final ad takes a less confrontational approach and shows her warmly greeting voters young and old. “Know this: My fight is for you,” she says. “Always has been.Wrap in New Canada Goose Montebelloa in freezing winter season will perfectly keep you extremely warm and meanwhile stylish .

In the months before that rousing ad, however, Brown launched pointed attacks on Warren's claims to Indian ancestry and her legal work on behalf of corporations. His argument that Warren is “not who she says she is” was an attempt to discredit her as a viable opponent, Domke said.
But the slashing style ran against Brown's promise to rise above politics as usual, Domke said. In the first debate of the race, for example, Brown referred to Warren's appearance in an attempt to demonstrate that she is not Native American.
“Professor Warren claimed that she was a Native American, a person of color,” Brown said, gesturing toward Warren. “And, as you can see, she's not.”
Domke was critical of his fellow Republican for resorting to negative tactics.
“He became more political in attacking,” Domke said. “He became more of a typical politician.”
The activists loved it. Here was Warren in full pugilistic mode, the full-throated voice of liberals who had watched dispiritedly as Republicans rose to power on the energy of the Tea Party. At last, they had their counterweight.Canada Goose offers the Canada Goose Manitoba Jacket in women's styles.
Now, as Warren steams into the last two days of her closely fought race with Senator Scott Brown, there is a lot less blood and teeth on the floor and a lot more hugs and hearts on the sleeve. She has softened her image and rhetoric over the campaign, becoming a more polished and, some say, more conventional Democratic candidate.
Brown, a veteran politician who has long branded himself a bipartisan bridge-builder, has undergone his own shifts. He has risked his likability by going on the attack and has pushed his pitch to the left with ads that feature President Obama and tout his support for abortion rights and equal pay for women.
Brown's moves, designed to tarnish his opponent's character and align himself with some Democratic ideals, may reflect the political calculation of a Republican trying to win in a heavily Democratic state in a presidential year.
On Saturday, speaking before several hundred supporters at a rally at Plimoth Plantation, Brown made a direct appeal to voters sick of partisan gridlock. He said Warren would march “in lockstep” with her party while he would be “an independent voter, somebody down there working together with both sides.”
“We are Americans first, and we're in trouble,” Brown said. “We need to find solutions together, because, if we don't find solutions together, we're going to have a very difficult time getting out of this fiscal and financial mess we're in.”
“Thank you for telling us the truth!” a woman yelled.
“Well, amen to that,” Brown responded.
Warren's evolution, from unsparing warrior to more tactical and tempered candidate, may reflect her need to disarm Republicans who attacked her for her aggressive rhetoric and her need to woo voters outside her activist base.
On Saturday, Warren — joined by Governor Deval Patrick and US Representative John Lewis, Democrat of Georgia — addressed about 1,000 supporters at the Reggie Lewis Center in Roxbury, the site of her first major Boston rally one year ago. She mixed her characteristic call to arms against Republicans with an appeal to the American spirit of generosity.
“It's become pretty clear over the last year that this race is about whose side you're on,” Warren said. “The Republicans have made pretty clear how they see that. They say cut taxes for those at the top, and let everybody else pick up the pieces. They are on the side of billionaires, millionaires, and big oil companies. They are saying, in effect, ‘I got mine; the rest of you are on your own.' We are a better people than that.”
Some see Warren's changes over the year as the growth of a candidate who began the race as a political neophyte and learned how to campaign effectively. Others argue that Warren's candidacy was simply retooled by savvy strategists.
Last summer, for example, Warren stumbled in responding to questions about her claims to Native American heritage, citing as evidence a relative who had “high cheekbones like all of the Indians do.” The controversy dogged her for months.Hi guys, I just had a few questions about the Men's Tremblant Jacket. But by the time the issue surfaced in the first debate in September, she had a rehearsed answer ready to go. “This is my family, this is who I am, and it's not going to change,” she said.
“She has learned that there's a very careful balance between choosing your words and also being spontaneous, and that's the art of campaigning,” said Bob Massie, a Democratic activist who ran against Warren in the primary and now supports her.
Todd Domke, a Republican strategist, said that such polishing has turned Warren from a candidate of big ideas into a standard-issue Democrat. For example, Warren's accusation that Brown protects billionaires and Big Oil echoes a line used by other Democratic candidates around the country.
“To me,” Domke said, “it's ironic that the consumer activist who fought for truth in advertising became such a packaged candidate.”
Warren's closing message echoes the original promise she made at that Dorchester house party, to be a fighter. Underscoring the point, she held a rally at a Lowell boxing gym on Friday.
But the two-fisted tone that marked her entrance into the race has been tempered. She still talks about the role of government in laying the foundation for economic growth. Yet she has abandoned the sharp language that set her apart from many other candidates, no longer using lines like, “There is nobody in this country who got rich on his own, nobody.” That was part of the speech she gave last August, which went viral on YouTube.
Warren's final ad takes a less confrontational approach and shows her warmly greeting voters young and old. “Know this: My fight is for you,” she says. “Always has been.Wrap in New Canada Goose Montebelloa in freezing winter season will perfectly keep you extremely warm and meanwhile stylish .
