"Little Rascals'" star Eden Wood posing for Cicciabella Cowgirl Riders® at Ashley Kelly Photography's Antique studio in Belton, Tx! – April 2013

Belton Tx – Amidst a flurry of bubbles.

Every year, Ashley Kelly Photography joins forces with CEO of Cicciabella, Adria Laxson, and Eden Wood & Mickie Wood, to shoot the catalog for Cicciabella. Eden Wood has many upcoming movies including Darla in Universal Home Entertainment's "Little Rascals."
The amazing pictures were taken at Ashley Kelly's antique studio, railroad tracks and a local fair. Ooh! La la Couture made the dresses and Terry from the Haus of Glam did the hair and makeup.

The beautiful day ended with a trip to the local carnival where "Cicci" (Adria Laxson) & Eden ran to ride every single ride! Eden even liked all the big rides and just enjoyed it like any 8 year old even though the whispers flew about the young star Eden Wood being at their fair. Once it was realized the announcer would boast "we have a celebrity on the ride tonight." Eden was as sweet and charming as she could be...melting everyone's hearts.

Cowgirl Riders® Photo Shoot – May 2012

Belton, TX – Amidst the summer sun.

Every year, Ashley Kelly Photography joins forces with CEO of Cicciabella, Adria Laxson, and Eden Wood & Mickie Wood, to shoot the catalog for Cicciabella. So many people graciously put their lives on hold to help prepare for one of the most fantastic, creative, and unique photo shoots that has ever been done! While most product owners want in-studio, white-background, formulated shots of their products, Cicciabella chooses to shoot their boots with celebrity Eden Wood and a live Zebra! While it can be a challenge trying to balance all of the untamed variables, the results are visually-rare and hugely worth it!

This year Cicciabella was asked to make a wish come true for a young girl who was about to lose her sight. Her name is Atlantis and she can be identified in our pictures by the name, "Sweet Sissy." We’re so happy she was able to join us for this shoot.

Moda Preview International proclaims: “Just south of Dallas, Texas retired pageant princess and reality TV star Eden Wood played a little dress up on a southern farm with ponies and zebras during a photo shoot for her namesake fashion piece, the Eden boot by Cicciabella. As part of the Fall 2012 line, Eden’s boot is one of six new styles from Cicciabella’s Cowgirl Riders bringing comfy styles to girls everywhere. Eden’s dress up day photo shoot was filled with frilly dresses by *Ooh La La Couture. Designed with trendy tots and little fashionistas in mind, Cicciabella Cowgirl Riders are a line of western-inspired boots that come in a wide selection of vintage prints. Loved by fresh faced pageant veteran Eden Wood, the line features high-glamour detailed embroidering, soft faux suede and plushy lining is paired with a rugged sole for indoor or outdoor wear. Cicciabella Cowgirl Rider Slippers fit girls sizes 12/13 – 5/6 and are available through retailers listed at www.cicciabella.com starting at $38 the pair. After seeing these fun cowgirl rider boots for little fashionista tots, I feel like having one for myself! There are fun, colorful, trendy and most importantly, comfy. What else can you ask for, right?”

Fashion Indie says: “Slipper company Cicciabella has officially named one of their boots “The Eden” after retired reality TV pageant princess Eden Wood. The boot is one of six from Cicciabella’s new Cowgirl Riders collection, featuring western-inspired vintage prints, designed for your typical trendy tot.”

Cowgirl Riders® Bryant Park Hotel – Fashion Week 2011

Manhattan, NY – Amidst the beloved fashion week frenzy.

It’s Fashion week September 2011. The crowd is hushed and anxiously awaiting what is to come. The star of the show is Eden Wood and the emcee is Kelly Bensimon. The styles are eye-catching, bright spring colors. The press is poised for the perfect pictures and interviews. The mood is set. It’s the Cowgirl Rider® collection fashion show!

The show goes off without a hitch. The music starts and out prance our mini adorable cowgirls. The girls are spectacular. Eden has all the charisma of an adult (if not more). She was born for this kind of work and I’ve never seen so much talent and self-assurance as I see in her at such a young age. She knows exactly how to show that she loves the boots… and she really loves the boots. Kelly is as graceful as she can be. She’s at ease and comfortable with the children and puts them at ease. She is clever with her words and makes a beautiful emcee.

The shows finale ends with Eden singing one of her originals. The crowd of press and spectators applaud with awe at the talent of all the young cowgirls. It is done and everyone feels a sense of satisfaction that they have seen something special.

The crowd gathers around the Cicciabella step and repeat for some incredible photo ops. The energy is high and the sweet girls get to take home their treasured boots.

Huffington Post announces: “Cicciabella, debuting a new line of kids cowboy boots/slippers, held the 2012 Cowgirl Riders Debutante fashion show on Thursday, hosted by Real Housewife of New York Kelly Bensimon and 6-year-old star Eden Wood, of "Toddlers and Tiaras," a TLC show that takes viewers into the world of toddler beauty pageants.”

There was such an outpouring of press that it's too lengthy to mention here but we must say that we were in the New York Post... page six!

STAMPEDE FOR SLIPPERS AT CICCIABELLA'S FIRST ANNUAL PAJAMA RODEO

Sonoma, CA – Weather conditions were ideal for the first annual Pajama Rodeo & Slipper Stampede at CicciaBella’s design headquarters.

This year's fabulous designs in the Cowgirl Riders® Limited Edition & Vintage categories brought smiles as the “Dakota Darlin’s” and "Hollywood Hotties” paraded before the judges. The women’s division brought stiff competition between the ever lush brocade “Toasters®”, suedette “Mee Toes” and posh pampered "Poodles” styles. High scores were awarded for color concept, embroidery and overall comfort!

The competitors in the junior girls' division were fierce but CicciaBella, showing four fresh styles in girls Cowgirl Riders®(ages 5-9), placed a first place in the Ridin’, Ropin’ & Relaxin’ category.

The crowd stood up & the judges were astonished and delighted when the grand entry broke out of the gates - a Trilogy of CicciaBella Cowgirls - “Mommie & Me & Baby Makes Three”. Well, the baby cowgirls booties, aptly named “Lil’ Ponies®”, stole the show!

The contestants in the Baby Bootie (age 6-12 months) weren’t timed in their events but, rather were judged on their ability to keep the booties ON their feet….AND, if the Trilogy of Mommie & Me and baby Cowgirls weren’t enough excitement for one day- there came a bevy of babies in tiny brocade & fur booties called” Cupcakes®”! They had booties on their hands AND feet! As you could imagine, the judges were drooling along with the babies as blue ribbons were awarded to these pint size winners.

At the end of the day’s festivities CicciaBella gave all their divisions of moms, kids and babies their very own slippers in tote bags, a big western style Bar-B- Que and boxes of baby biscuits!
