This week in review August 18, 2008

So here’s what was up with me and mine this past week:
Solo Olympics. So I mentioned that my boyfriend is in Beijing. He’s there with a buddy of his to see the Olympics. He is very excited. People are asking me why I didn’t go. Answer’s simple - I’d love to go to China. But [...]

What I covet August 17, 2008

Here’s what’s on my material lust list this week:
I can’t help but wonder: should I buy this dress? Ok, remember when I wrote about the dress Miranda wore in the Sex and the City movie, and how I had to have it?
Guess what? I found it!! And it’s actually affordable.
I’m in a quandary, though. After [...]

DC apparently luvs Stacy and Clinton July 28, 2008

You know the show What Not To Wear on TLC? Well, I’m addicted to it, but in case you aren’t, it’s a makeover show where the friends or family members of a fashion victim enlist the stylish duo Stacy and Clinton to ambush the poor unwitting person with a $5,000 wardrobe makeover. (Oh, by the [...]

That’s news to me: stormy edition June 5, 2008

I’ll mix news about me right with the news about people I don’t know this week. It makes me feel more important that way.
I feel so powerless. So yesterday a freight train of a storm blew through DC, taking with it about half of our front yard tree, and all of our power. Our poor [...]

New York swept me off my feet - literally June 3, 2008

As much as I have hyped and psyched myself up for the SATC movie, I was fully prepared to be disappointed Saturday. After all, the movie could not possibly live up to my expectations, could it?
Well, it could. And it did. Exceeded them. That movie was effing AWESOME!
I am not even kidding, it was great. [...]

Jukebox: The SATC in NYC edition May 30, 2008

So as I head off for my weekend in New York for the Sex and the City movie and to see my friends and indulge in other things about NYC that I love (my new favorite eyebrow threading place, which is way better than the other place I used to go to; having Sunday brunch [...]

The catch-up wrap-up May 30, 2008

It’s been a busy week, so I’ll put all my updates in one catch-up post.
I’m a bunny! So, after deciding to start the Ellen diet that I mentioned before, my boyfriend convinced me to do the “Fat Smash” diet instead. You know, the one by the guy from Celebrity Fit Club (which I only watched [...]

SATC is in NYC (and soon I will be too!) May 28, 2008

Did I mention that I’m excited about going to New York this weekend? Three days!! Three days!! Yay!!
Last night the SATC ladies were in the Big Apple for the movie’s premiere. All kinds of shenanigans apparently ensued - hundreds of people with tickets to the event got turned away because it was oversold, some poor [...]

Fashion demerit: Cate Blanchett May 23, 2008

Dang, Cate! No sooner did I gush and brag all over you did you go and do something like this:

Sweetheart, I still luuuuuvs me some you, but not even you could pull this look off (which just means that this dress should just cease from being manufactured - NO ONE can wear it. If it [...]

Kick-Ass Chick: Cate Blanchett May 16, 2008

Ok, one last post before I turn off my laptop for a much-needed long weekend off from work (and alas, from blogging too).
I have added yet another woman to my “Kick-Ass Chick” list: Cate Blanchett.
As far as her acting, I love her. Love, love, love, luuuuuuuuv her. When I saw her in the first “Elizabeth” [...]
