So I’ve been at work since 6:30am and I’m going a little stir-crazy since it’s now only 8:18am! I find myself looking at my
favorite perfumes and trying to decide what my next scent will be (out of my faves) Here’s the rundown:
Past: Narciso Rodriguez For Her– I bought this scent about 2 years ago soley because I love Narciso’s fashion but I ended up looooving the scent as well. I’ve never gotten so many compliments.

Present: Chanel Coco Mademoiselle– A classic. Everyone thinks they “know that smell” and they love it.

Future: Lovely by Sarah Jessica Parker– I got a mini bottle from a work event and I have to admit, as cheesy as all the celebrity perfumes are, this one really is good. And it’s up for FIFI award (the Oscars of the beauty industry)

So I was in Sephora the other day and found this delicious new Philosophy 3-in-1 shampoo, shower gel and bubble bath that smells like mint chocolate chip ice cream(!) We all know I love any beauty product that smells like food but this is so summery and the mint is refreshing. I don’t know about how good a shampoo it really is (haven’t tried it) but I’m sure it would make an amazing shower gel and bubble bath at the very least.

So one of my fondest memories of my childhood is when my parents, my sister and I would go to Montauk every summer…we would “camp” and barbeque with my Dad’s high school friends from Long Island and their families and it was truly a family bonding experience. I was a very “stubborn” child, to say the least; I only wore the color green for a period of time (including green Nike sneakers), I insisted on having a seperate fork and plate for every type of food, etc. God bless my parents for having the patience to deal with me. But anyway, I went through a period of obsession with Jelly Sandals as well. One summer in Montauk, I insisted on wearing my jelly sandals in the ocean and lost one in a tubing “accident.” Needless to say, I was DEVASTATED and now have the incredible urge to buy myself a grown-up, new pair from Urban Outfitters!

So I’d bet a LOT of money that this photo was taken in New York City…I love this place. I think being from New York is both a curse and a blessing. A blessing because you have everything, no seriously, everything at your fingertips. If i want Thai food at 3am, I’ve got it. But at the same time, having everything makes it harder to appreciate other places; I have yet to find another place I’d want to live and that doesn’t sound so bad but it actually kinda sucks. I’m completely jealous of all my friends who’ve moved to places like Chicago, DC, San Diego, etc. to experience new things and pursue new opportunites…I just have yet to be satisfied…woe is me.

So wax Paris Hilton is probably the scariest thing I’ve seen in quite some time. I love how Paris is wearing those ugly “designer” sweats that they sell at like Kitson in LA and Lindsay looks like her usual, stylish self. Paris’ face looks terrifying and I’m sorry to say that wax Paris doesn’t do real Paris ANY justice. This almost makes me want to pay the $40 it probably costs to get into the wax museum here in New York…but not really.

So while looking at a friend’s webshots I saw that she had a friend who made her birthday crown into a great way to pick up men. Kinda creative? Kinda desperate? You decide…

So the weather in New York has been AMAZING the last few days so naturally, it’s scheduled to rain the entire weekend, of course. Well, I’ve been taking full advantage of the weather by wearing some new clothes and NEVER in my life have I gotten “hollered at” as many times as Tuesday. I can’t figure it out. I mean, I wasn’t dressed particularly hoe-like that day. And yes, it was the usual construction workers and Spanish men that call out to basically ALL women…but there was one particular cat call that got my attention- this cop and this other guy were sitting in a stoop and I had my ipod on while I walked by them (newsflash people: we CAN and DO hear you while we wear ipods) the cop goes to the other guy “man, that’s a nice ass.” It wasn’t said for me to hear, which was nice, but I’ve come to the conclusion that the extra attention I got is a result of these shoes from Target and these “editor cuffed crop” pants from Express. Have fun!
