Honestly, Donna???


So I know I wrote about how funny I think So NoTORIous is (and I still do even though I haven’t watched in weeks- is it even still on TV?) But COME ON, Tori…WHAT were you THINKING?!

Paris Hilton…


So it’s been a month! I’ve been super busy with work and moving(!) I am now a resident of the Upper East Side =)
Anyway, so I recently saw a picture of Paris Hilton and she actually looked GOOD. I, personally, think she is the biggest fashion nightmare since the Bjork stork dress incident but that’s just me…
I showed one of my friends and she commented how I MUST think she looks good because she’s wearing one of my “signature shirts” (black and white stripes)

30 Days? I Hope So…

So I read this quote in How to Heal a Broken Heart in 30 Days that really stuck with me and somehow actually helps me accept that certain relationships CAN come to an end. I think a big part of my problem (with any relationship) is that I have a hard time letting go. Some relationships are not meant to be lifelong and the sooner I realize this, the better off I’ll be. This quote reminds me of something my good friend Jane would say to me during one of our marathon analyzation conversations =)

“Letting go of a relationship that no longer exists for you can become a great blessing. It’s like watching a movie through to its ending. It may have been a good movie. It may have been awful. But when it’s over and the lights go up, you know quite clearly that it’s time to stand up and move on.”

Now Smell This


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)

Ice Cream in the Shower!


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.

Jelly Sandals, How I Love You So…


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!
