A Tight Dilemma


So now that it’s winter, I’ve been noticing a lot of girls wearing summer-type dresses with black tights. I used to cringe at even the thought of wearing tights- even though I LIVED in them when I was little kid. Last week, I saw a very trendy beauty editor wearing a black baby doll dress, black tights and patent leather wedges and she looked AMAZING. Like straight off the runway…BUT she also probably weighs 115lbs. at like 5’8. So yeah…to wear tights or not to wear tights…that is the question. Here you have three very different celebs with very different body types all wearing the same dress but styled in three trendy variations. Lindsay Lohan, doing the pale, bare legged bootie look (I’m still convinced my legs would look like tree stumps in these shoes), Sienna Miller does the beauty editor look of black tights and shiny shoes (my pick for fave), and Nicky Hilton goes for the classically trendy bare (tanned) legs and pointy heels.

My Latest TV Obsession


So Veronica Mars is just about the coolest chick on TV since Buffy the Vampire Slayer, in my humble opinion. I watched episodes off and on for the first 2 seasons and am now fully-blown obsessed. I actually bought Season 2 on DVD (which is pretty stupid considering I have a free 4-month Netflix subscription-gotta love PR). Anyway, the season premiere is on TUESDAY at 9pm on the CW or whatever that new station is that used to be UPN. I don’t care what the channels call themselves…just stop confusing me and don’t cancel my shows. That is all.

Soooo Sorry!


I am officially the worst blogger ever. So sorry for the lack of posts- I wasn’t aware of my loyal fanbase! Anyway, I promise that I’ll update more often! Please accept my apologies and this picture of TJ Lavin, professional BMX rider…as much of my summer was spent watching him host the Fresh Meat Challenge on MTV. It’s been quite the summer…

One Lonely Saturday Night At Duane Reade…


So a few Saturdays ago I ended up not doing anything. Sometimes this is by choice and sometimes it’s because my friends all have boyfriends and they get into “couple mode.” It’s then that I start feeling sorry for myself and the 1/4 life crisis kicks in. It was a really nice night and when I mope I usually tend to just stay in my apartment on the Upper East side but tonight, however, I decided I was going to at least walk around for a little. As I walked toward 3rd avenue, I saw only COUPLES. Couples everywhere. It was horrific and definitely didn’t help my mood at all. I made a bee-line into the 24 hour Duane Reade and immediately ran into the makeup section. I had been meaning to try Cover Girl’s new Lash Exact mascara (after Jean Godfrey-June raved about it in Lucky). So I bought the mascara, a 6-pack of Poland Spring and some cat food…truly making me pathetic.

note: the mascara DID cheer me up when I got home…it really is fantastic and the tube is very luxurious looking.

The Number One Reason To Stop Drinking


So, I really don’t think that there could be any better anti-drinking/drug ad in the entire world. Tara Reid used to be so hot. I mean, I totally wanted to look like her in American Pie 2. It’s so sad that she felt the need to get those saggy, D-cups and apparently start EATING the leftovers from American Pie, the original.

I dream of Venezia…


It’s that time of the year when I seriously, REALLY, REALLY need a vacation. It’s actually not even funny how close I am to just stop working. I haven’t been ANYWHERE since my backpacking trip across Europe exactly one year ago =(

I’m thinking Cabo…partly because it was in a magazine yesterday and partly because it’s where all the Laguna kids go on Spring Break- SUCH a loser, I know…

Milk is really, really good

So I’m kinda bias but I’m obsessed with SkinMilk’s Body Scrub. And I’m so sad because it’s being phased out by the new Body Polish, which, don’t get me wrong, IS amazing as well but the Body Scrub has real almond and oats in it and it smells like birthday cake. You know I can’t resist a beauty product that smells like food…and for $4.99, I mean, come on.
