I have no idea where this came from and why Bill Gates would ever pose for a shot like this, but I felt like the right thing to do was share it.

It’s exclusive to Urban Outfitters, and what’s better is their description for the shirt:

Charged with three counts of straight runnin’ things.

As a former colleague used to say…”dat’s riiight!”

Would you wear it?

She said it best, not I. Lily Allen’s back with a fierce sampler (as if we expected anything less). Take no offence to her vulgarities – it just makes it more enjoyable.

Check the Youtube Vid or listen to it on bloc music (yeah, up there mon!)

0:00 Everyone’s At It
1:24 The Fear
2:30 Not Fair (not previously heard – it’s got banjos!)
3:48 22 (not previously heard – about women aging in today’s society)
4:52 Never Gonna Happen (not previously heard – & now…an accordion??)
6:00 F**k You

Though it comes nearly to an end, I’ve decided to share this image that I found on my computer from a family reunion that we had this past summer. Check out this stylish duo.

I’m treating this holiday as if it were New Year’s – thinking about the future, feeling renewed and inspired to chase those dreams, and savouring the simple things in life like reading a newly acquired book or overloading on Christmas-themed chocolates and taking sporadic naps that I can never seem to do in my new digs.

Share with me what you did on your holiday – would love to know!

As for me? I’m prepping for the world’s longest work day tomorrow – boxing day don’t come easy!

ps. brian mcknight sings me christmas songs and it’s a bit hilarious b/c of the album cover. good times!

Confused about what to get that girl because you don’t want to get “that thing”? Yeah, you heard me. Well, you can’t really go wrong with things that are just purely and utterly luscious in every meaning of the word.

I never had the opps to try out products from Lush before, but having recently acquired a fair number from their brand offering, I’ve passed my positive judgement on it – they’re products that live up to high standards and make for fantastic gifting. My suggestion – get Snowcake for your beloved, it smells amazing and it’s good for you. Just keep it out of the shower for fear of it melting way too fast (which happened the first time roundy for me).

Happy Holidays the Lush Way!

This wasn’t one of those years that I had a huge massive craving for all things material – it’s one of those “I want to bake cookies and read and get inspired” years for Christmas, where I can’t even possibly think of anything I could need more than the bare necessities (although there are some boots that I’m dying to get. But I’ll hold off until I have something more pressing, like a microwave so I can indulge in Hungry Manseseses and bad frozen portions. I digress like a digressor).

Regardless, I thought I’d throw together a list of things that I’m feeling as of right now. It’s not so much a list as it is just a bunch of scrambled jambled things I put into an image. Enjoy my domestic-clothing mish mash anyway.
