I really should not be left to my thoughts…or Orlando Bloom on a day off. Or maybe I should, because it produced a productive 16 pages in 3 hours for the book I’ve been working on since I got back from Morocco. I had been a little perplexed over the last few months trying to decide…
Remember this Reed Krakoff tote I mentioned a few weeks ago? I found a similar one from Nine West for $125. Well, scratch that. I found another one. This Reed Krakoff retails at $1,090. While this knockoff retails at $60. [From Oasis]
I’ve been a little obsessed with Victoria Beckham’s clothing line as of late. With such a hefty price (and limited sizing), her line (even the cheapest of them all, Victoria) will be on most of our wish lists for a very long time. What I love about the Victoria Beckham lines? The style. Guess what? …
See that dress our First Lady is wearing? That just so happens to be a Jason Wu for Target dress. Price of the dress? $39.99. Jason Wu was also the man who designed Mrs. Obama’s inaugural dress. So if designer fashion can be found under $50 from Target…and it’s good enough for the same First…
Ladies, I’ve been doing some extra research today that I thought I’d share with you. As we move this site into a more fashionista friendly zone with an eye on building your fantasy wardrobe, I also want to start wrapping your minds around becoming a fashionista with a sizeable bank account and a sizeable net…
I was watching Dexter Season 5 over the weekend. I was upset that Julie Benz was written off the show…happy that Julia Stiles made the season…and creeped out at the horrible evil out there. Yes, it’s just a show. Yes, what happened to Lumen (Stiles’ character) has and does happen to women. After Dexter set Lumen free…
As a followup to yesterday’s Fantasy Wardrobe post, I thought I’d pass along some additional SHOPPING information on HOW TO SAVE $$$… 1. SAKS FASHIONfix. I don’t know why I never really checked out this link before…oddly enough, I had signed up for it in the past…I just never really took a look at what…
Living in NYC, you can be inundated with the fashion culture every which way you turn. From Vogue to Fifth Avenue to models every which way you turn to Sex and the City…it’s hard not to want to wear everything you see in the high end world. For any fashionista starting out, it takes years to…
I decided to stray from my normal online haunts today when I remembered…oh, there’s Bloomingdales! I haven’t viewed their site in a while. To my surprise, a lot of bags I’ve posted up in the last month as WANTS, LUSTS and CHEAP BUYS…well, Bloomies did one better in my lowest price found. Here are a few……
I’m not one to point out a professional athlete’s genitalia…BUT… While I was in Madison Square Garden last night, I came out of the press room to head upstairs to the press box when I looked out the window and all I saw were these MASSIVELY HUGE balls. They were literally two stories high (look…
Tis the season to be red and pink all over. We’ll leave the reds for another day. Today is all about PINK. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RLRLhV9U0kQ] From Estee Lauder, Elizabeth Hurley’s Pink Ribbon Collection, $24.00. Proceeds go to help raise awareness about early detection. From DVF, Love is Life iPhone case, $28. PJK Blue Label – Charlie Button-Front…
I’ve been waiting for this film to come out on DVD for a year now. I have to say…this documentary did not disappoint. I awwed, cooed, laughed, and sat back in complete awe at a brilliant masterpiece about four babies from four very different parts of the world and their first year of life. San Francisco,…
Spring is right around the corner. In some parts of the US, maybe a little sooner than anticipated. There’s nothing that says HAPPY like a spring update in our homes in springlike colors. At The Foundary today, I found the above pillow covers in yellow. I think pillow covers are great! Instead of buying an entire pillow…
Well, ladies, I can’t say I’m officially a single girl, because that’s not true. But I am spending Valentine’s Day alone this year, just like every year. My guy is out in the sand dunes of the Sahara Desert, so I don’t plan on spending this American holiday with him. I actually won’t get to…
You know those member sites where if you’re a member you have to click “Skip This Month” in order to save some dough…and then you end up looking on their site and deciding…well, I’ll just buy this one thing? Well, that was me on Friday. There’s something about being sick and shopping that goes hand…
I’ve been doing some research into the raw food diet and juicing. I’m not 100% sold on raw food yet, because when I eat, I generally like my food piping hot, because it soothes my esophagus and warms my tummy, making food a lot easier to get down. Cold and warm foods (unless it’s just plain…
12-18 months on medical lockdown will go by quickly, just like every year does. So while I’m still in the USA, there are some things I’d like to do before packing up the apartment and splitting for good. Here’s a list of things I’d like to do before leaving. Try Texas BBQ (so I can…
I haven’t read the book “Water for Elephants” yet. I’ve been trying to, but the whole circus thing makes it hard for me to read it. Maybe I will read it sometime this year. Last night, though, I actually checked the movie out from the library and watched it. I was getting ready to turn it…
If you’ve been following me on Pinterest, you’ll notice my WANTS board. I tend to throw a lot of purse lusts and Valentino onto the board. Most of those lusts come directly from Saks.com. While I was at The Bay in Ottawa, I caught a cheaper version of the same bag I was wanting from…
Since I’ve been on a bit of a personal financial lockdown (i.e. trying not to spend too much money), I was astounded to find out that I had more money in my accounts than I thought I did. I couldn’t figure out why until I got to the office on Tuesday and saw an email…
