Men’s Shapewear gives me a bum rush
Men’s shapewear from Undergear enhances men’s rear ends
Every now and then I get a work assignment that transcends all others.
Boss: “Sam, edit this press release asap.”
Me: “Yes boss.”
Boss: “Sam, I need your creative imput on this new project.”
Me: “Yes boss.”
Boss: “Sam, I need you to write a review for Undergear’s collection of Men’s shapewear.”
Me: “I love you Boss.”
Now this is an assignment I can certainly get behind.
These boots were made for toning
Mukluks boots - Women’s Fitflop Mukluks fitness boots help tone your tush with every step
It’s New Year’s Eve and I’m in the midst of documenting my list of resolutions for 2010. Over the years I’ve come to learn that creating a lengthy list of things to change, improve or enhance will get me nowhere. 5+ items will only succeed in making me feel overwhelmed, cranky, guilty and depressed when I eventually become irresolute. These resolutions will ultimately end up ignored, recycled and added on to next year’s list.
This year I’m keeping it short and sweet, so I actually have a chance at making something happen.
In 2010 I resolve to:
1. Breathe.
2. Drink more water.
3. Make my butt look spectacular in jeans.
These Mukluks Boots from Bliss World will make number 3 easier than shelling out a small fortune on gym memberships and best of all, they look pretty tight while they tighten.
Pashmina envy
Orange pashmina - Two toned pashmina scarf in orange shades of melon and peach
I’m passionate about pashminas.
They saved my neck during my brisk trip to New York this past Thanksgiving and I loved mine so much, I bought one for my co-worker Samara in her favorite color. The gift exchange went a little something like this-
Me: Knock knock.
Samara: Who’s there?
Me: Orange.
Samara: Orange who?
Me: Orange you glad I bought you an orange Pashmina?
This two-toned Orange Pashmina from Kellsons Pashminas comes in two ripe flavors of melon and peach which means it’s packed with more than your recommended daily allowance of Vitamin C.
In Laptop heaven
Laptop totes for women who want laptop protection and a stylish tote, all in one
I had a laptop die on me once.
My laptop had been there for me through good times and bad, always within arm’s reach. He delivered everything from happy bday ecard wishes to chain emails and spam. We fought, we argued, he froze on me whenever I made him angry, yet he was still my best friend and confidante. Then one sad day Buck (I called him Buck) suffered from a fatal drop during a leisurely walk to Barnes & Noble. If only I had been carrying him in a protective laptop case! I always thought the majority of laptop cases on the market were boring looking and plain, besides, Buck was difficult and usually liked to go commando.
Now I have a new laptop. Initially, we got off on the wrong foot since she runs on Windows Vista, but we’re finally starting to connect and I want to keep her safe and sound without sacificing my personal sense of style. Thankfully, Kolobags.com has a killer selection of designer Laptop Totes for Women that are cushy, convertible, eco-friendly and fashion-friendly.
Another laptop will not die on my watch.
Princess charming
Princess perfume by Vera Wang makes you feel like a perfectly perfumed princess
Every girl wants to grow up to be a princess.
When I was a little girl I would host Princess tea parties for my Cabbage Patch Kids every Sunday afternoon. I served animal crackers, wrapped Werthers Originals and lukewarm Coca-Cola in tiny little plastic teacups. I would wear dainty white gloves and dab at the corners of my mouth with lacy napkins. I would brag to my guests that Prince William and I were secretly betrothed. He would show up one day and whisk me away to England with a glass slipper on a pillow… I was worried that it might not fit since I wore orthopedic shoes back then.
Prince William never did show up.
Now I’m all grown up, a hard-working gal who does her own chores, whistles while she works and settles for Tazo Black Teas to-go from Starbucks. I may never have the chance to enjoy high tea with the Royal Family at Buckingham Palace, but I can still smell like a princess, every time I spray on a hint of Princess Perfume by Vera Wang from FragranceX.com.
Shoes for your Aunt Flo
Tie espadrilles with adorable rope tie detail
I’m currently suffering from PMS. Purchase Many Shoes Syndrome.
Once a month like clockwork I get crabby, grouchy, my feet get crampy and I have unmanageable shoe mood swings. One minute I’m wearing flats, the next I switch to boots, then sandals, Converse, jelly shoes and so on. Then I cry, damn all my shoes to hell, throw a few houseplants and eat a quart of Ben and Jerry’s Triple Caramel Chunk ice cream. Once my seizures have subsided and I’ve had a double dose of Extra-Strength Motrin, I’m still depressed, mopey and think I look fat. Sadly, the only cure for me is to buy another pair of cute shoes like these Red Tie Espadrilles from AB Lambdin Shoes - Exclusively at Spiegel. They’re adorable, they take the pain away, and they’re better than chocolate…until next month.
What can I say? It’s an endless cycle.
Off the cuff
Forever necklace cuffs to wear forever and a day
I’m guilty… of love in the first degree.
Formerly I was your average, ordinary law abiding citizen, but I have since been accused of various crimes of passion. If loving my boyfriend is wrong, I don’t want to be right. So go ahead and cuff me officers, preferably with these Forever Necklace Handcuffs from Add a Link of Charm.
Funny wallet of dough
Funny wallet helps you keep all your dough
I am notorious for losing money.
I know, as a result of a crummy economic climate everyone is losing cash left and right, but my case is different. I can’t blame the economy, the stock market, Obama’s stimulus package or Bernie Madoff. I can only blame myself. I have lost five wallets full of cash in the past two years. In the ladies restroom at Bloomingdales, at a White Stripes concert, the teacups at The Magic Kingdom, the Fluff n’ Fold laundromat, and some creepy diner in Iowa.
I love cute wallets, but I can’t seem to hold onto one. The moment I realize it’s missing I run back to the scene of the crime only to find it gone without a trace. What I need is a wallet that’s incognito, a wallet that doesn’t scream out “take me, I’m fat with cash”. This Funny Wallet of Dough from ModCloth holds my dough while masquerading as a piece of real hot buttered toast. My bread is finally safe.
In the swim of things
Eco fabric bikini top for eco friendly beach style
Spring break is just a hop, skip and a tequila shot away, and this year I’m investing a little extra thought and sensitivity when it comes to shopping for my beach wardrobe. I want to look hot, but I’ve discovered from my environmentally-friendly friends that it’s hotter to be eco conscious than to prance around in those uncomfortable thong thong thong thong thongs R& B artist Sisqó sang about.
This Eco fabric Bikini top from Aventura Clothing is made from recycled poly, which is a comfier, cooler and healthier alternative to the recycled tin foil and dental floss string bikini I crafted last year. I can still feel the burn.
Fat wallet
Spend in style with a designer wallet monogrammed by Belisi
Economic crisis, Schmeconomic crisis. This holiday season I’m not allowing our country’s financial turmoil to serve as the Grinch Who Stole Consumer Excess. No one is going to ruin my Fa La La La La’ing.
I’m shopping and spending the same way I do every year, in fact, I’m heading to Kohl’s for some last minute Christmas shopping as soon as I get out of work. My trusted Ladies Wallet from Belisi Women’s Fashion hasn’t seen this much action in awhile, but she’s securely holding a three month supply of bank that I’m ready to squander away all in the name of holiday frivolity.
Be fooled by the rocks that I got
Bling it on with this icy cool simulated diamond ring
Confession. Everyone knows I’m totally gullible. I believe everything anyone ever tells me without batting an eyelash. For instance:
Bryan: “Hey Linda, the world is ending in 20 years.”
Me: “Really? Let’s hit Vegas!”
Richard: “Hey Linda, I’m giving you a 75% raise!”
Me: “You’re the best boss ever!”
Trish: “Hey Linda, I went on a date with People’s Sexiest Man Alive Hugh Jackman last night!”
Me: “Oh my God, is he a good kisser?!!”
Yes. It’s that bad. I don’t have one skeptical bone in my body, which is why I refuse to believe that this Simulated Diamond Ring from Diamond Essence isn’t real.
Get off on the right Foot Petal
Look hot while giving a rest to tired female soles
Fact. Women love to wear high heel shoes. Manolo Blahniks, Jimmy Choos, Christian Louboutins, they’re all our best friends. We lust after 4 inch stilettos, knee high boots and wedges the same way men lust after imported beer. They hurt, they’re hard to walk in, they squish our little piggies that went to market and leave our beautiful soles full of corns, calluses and cramps. But alas, we love them. Why? Because they’re pretty. We haven’t got time for the pain, so what are female soles to do? Invest in Killer Kushionz from Foot Petals.com, that’s what.
