UGG cravings

I am suffering from MAJOR cravings for UGGS!!! Yes, I know they aren't exactly the most fashion savviest piece of a fashionista's wardrobe, but they sure are comfy and probably the most durable boot out there (I've worn them everywhere and in every climate!). Granted, they are a bit pricey, but for comfort, it's a small price to pay. So, someone, BUY ME THE TALL GRAY UGGS in size 7, PERTY PLEASE!!! I may be forced to find other ways in securing these UGGS...like begging for them AGAIN from a certain special someone. :D



I find it comical that there is even a blog about UGGS...it proved actually quite amusing and informative all at the same time. http://www.igotuggs.com/

an another note- ruffle blouses

I know everyone saw Blair Waldorf's blouse last night! C'mon, I don't even watch "Gossip Girl" either, but now, due to the impeccable fashion taste on the show, I may now just buy each season's dvd!




Sad story- the bitch (the blouse) is sold out!! Such a statement, signature piece... if I get that blouse, I'll be sure to take some pics and post that on my Facebook as a trophy-mwahahaha!

P.S. You can buy the blouse here if it comes available AND if you have an extra 1,990 bucks to shell out: http://www.net-a-porter.com/am/product/35448?cm_mmc=LinkshareUS-_-ProductFeed-_-Bill+Blass-_-Tops&siteID=PkMdAyGsI.I-pfZsjVKjZqSF2bpUx3RV4g

Tuesday raid on Black comedy & music

Remember how I told y'all before that I absolutely LOVE Black comedy? Luckily, today "This Christmas" (starring my fav, Chris Brown) drops in stores today and YOU KNOW I'm "finna" cop that ish!!! The soundtrack to the movie is pretty good as well and is bound to get me in the mood for the holidays. Man, I love the holidays!!!

ALSO, T-Pain's new album drops today and I am for sure going to get that as well. I need some music to listen to on my commute home during the week, so this should hit the spot. Who knows why such a computer-synthesized voice such as T-Pain's would sell records.

I would normally make a trip to the local Circuit City in Concord, but ever since Circuit City went bankrupt and shut down ~150 stores, they also managed to shut down this particular store. Business must have been slow there; go figure though because the store was filthy and it needed some revamping in terms of how to catch the appeal of customers. Store lay-out is key people- talk to the Target marketing team...they strategically situate Women's clothing to the immediate right when one walks into the automatic sliding stores...how many women (including myself) have succumbed to taking a peak or a glance at the affordable designer pieces at Target just because that's the first thing one looks at when you march into the red bulls-eye?

Sam Milby

I want to meet Sam and take a picture next to him just to see how good of a couple we make...~sighs~.




(Can't you see that I've run out of blog topics and have resorted to being a teenie-bopper? I will write something more substantial and thought-provoking next time. I haven't been able to read the intellectual giant magazines like 'Atlantic Monthly' lately due to my never-ending obsession with online shopping/browsing. Damn the fashion blogs that spark consumerist urges!)

a vice of mine

I thought I'd share one vice of mine to let others know I'm not as perfect as I seem...hahaha...just joking! Anyway, I really would like to downsize on my magazine subscription addiction just so I can have less paper in my room! To date, here are my current subscriptions:

1. Glamour
2. Cosmopolitan
3. Psychology Today
4. Self
5. 7x7
6. California Home & Design
7. San Francisco

Newly added-
8. Shape
9. Runner's World


Which magazines should I get rid of? I wind up just getting these magazines at Target monthly, which obviously costs $4-$5 a pop, so it makes more sense to keep my annual subscriptions of ~$12-20. I just hate all the clutter around my room and I'm trying to "Go Green"...

yet another Lats look-alike

Does anyone else see a resemblance to Lats?

old knees

So I'm starting to train for the Kaiser Permanente Half-Marathon for this upcoming February '09 in San Francisco- so far, so good. My first week wasn't bad at all. Concomitantly, I am still doing my cardio kickboxing classes (don't laugh- the hour long class burns about 500-600 calories and gets your jabs and punches down to a T), so strength and stamina isn't that much of an issue. It's now just a matter of increasing my mileage weekly and strategically tapering off my running/workout schedule a couple of weeks before the race so I'm not puckered out.

...which brings me to the state of my knees...I triumphantly finished 6 miles yesterday evening and I was feeling really nice afterwards, but after dinner, my old-ass knees started acting up. They are sooo sore this morning! Omg...so sore. At any rate, I "hate to toot my own horn", but I am very proud of myself that I finished this distance under an hour (I gave myself an hour to finish). Thus far, for my first week, I surpassed the intermediate level of the training module, which suggests that I complete 12 miles for the total first week. I finished my week off running 13.5 miles. I was shooting for the advanced training schedule, which has one finishing at week's end a whopping 21 FREAKIN' MILES! Who has time to run all of these miles?!

I'm leaving you with a picture of my race number from the J.P. Morgan Corporate Challenge 3.5 mile run. It is symbolic on one of two counts: 1) First organized race I've ever ran with 4000 people, 2) Lats pointed out to me that my birthday number "7" is neatly sandwiched between his birthday number, "25". How 'bout dem apples?!


Do me a favor and say a little prayer that my old knees don't give out before the 12 weeks of training is over!

P.S. I watched "Penelope" last night- very cute movie...and actually a role that is befitting for Cristina Ricci.
