Valentine's Day

Now I know MOST of you can't afford a $2k+ dress for the big day.

I COULD but, ya know, I choose not to.

I'd love to be able to purchase this Valentino dress -

$2,105 at places where you buy Valentino.

 It's classy, trendy, flirty, girly, femmy, chicy, sexy, bubbly, ALL AT THE SAME TIME!! OMGEE!!

But lets face it. It's a pink fucking strapless dress. With a bow. $2k? Eat me.

So here are some dresses I've found that basically give you the same exact look.

$69.99 at Target.

$134 dress @ Bloomingdales

I don't like the flower on this, but I love the peplum waist. So it cancels each other out.


And for a little off the cut, but still in the same color scheme...

Tea Time

I can't function without caffeine in the morning. Yea. Same as everyone else in the world.

I'd have 2 cups of coffee right when I got to work in the morning.

It never made me feel good. Coffee would wake me up, but never left me feeling like a healthy person.

So, I decided to switch to drinking green tea.

mmmm...

I kept reading about metabolism.. and glowing skin... and cancer fighting agents... you know, the usual. Green tea is always the common factor in improving all of the above.

Research suggests that both types of tea contain protective compounds — like EGCG and theaflavins — that help prevent skin cancers and the breakdown of collagen, the cause of wrinkles.  It also contains antioxidants that help fight free radicals- thus- fighting cancer.

So, drink up!

Bill Cunningham New York - Documentary

I watch the most intriguing, uplifting movie last night.

It was a fashion documentary called Bill Cunningham New York.  I have somehow never heard his name before, nor seen his work in the New York Times.

Bill has an amazing story, and I can't even talk about it, you just need to see it.

Check out the trailer here-
