Chloe Moretz in black printed leggings
Spotted! Young actress Chloe Moretz at LAX airport on Wednesday, November 23, 2011, on her way to celebrate Thanksgiving. She traveled in style, wearing black printed leggings, sheer top and a long jacket that helped to keep her warm while also being figure flattering by elongating her silhuette. Black printed leggings are on on trend and we predict will continue to rise and carry over into winter and the warm season. It is about time the black legging took it up a notch with a print. For a similar look, there are lots of options at Urban Outfitters for black printed leggings.

My Father and I, Black Friday 2011 ready!...or so we thought.
Our Black Friday 2011 mission: save $500 dollars and score a laptop for $250 for my Father.
My Father and I were confident we would buy a laptop. We woke up early Thursday morning and tore out all the Black Friday coupons in the unusually packed newspaper. We had 5 store options for laptops and while sipping our morning coffee we devised a plan and decided we would go to Best Buy first. We shared our mission and POA (plan of attack) with the family at our 3pm Thanksgiving meal (early because we had a tight schedule!). Our loved ones laughed at us during Thanksgiving dinner saying we had no chance. We didn’t listen. We bundled up in our down jackets, gloves and beanies to venture out in the 42 degree weather to take advantage of the Black Friday deals and prove them wrong by bringing home that laptop.
Spotted!: Justin Bieber attended the 2011 Pencils of Promise charity gala at Espace in New York on November 17, 2011 in a Dolce and Gabana velvet suit jacket.
