The List Volume XII

I mean, this needs no introduction. You know what time it is.
  1. People who talk really loud at restaurants right next to you. Um, ma’am, if I wanted to have dinner with you, I would have asked. Thanks.
  2. The Bachelorette. Ali, they’re all dogs. Get out while you can.
  3. Tots. I get that “totally” doesn’t have an “e” in it, but phonetically speaking, it should be spelled “totes.” When you write “tots” to me, I assume you’re talking about a small child or the potato side dish so lovingly known as tater tots.
  4. Incense.
  5. Hard drives. Were you aware they can “just go bad”? Oh, well they sure can. They don’t even have to give you an explanation as to why. Bullshit.
  6. Dads pushing strollers and looking at my boobs. Sir, one day your daughter will have boobs too. Eyes up.
  7. Royalty.
  8. Kathie Lee and Hoda. Why do they hate each other so much?
  9. Matching your romper to your car. Really? 35053_412054872049_690612049_5291624_2473754_n(thanks to Mike for sending this in! Good work!)
  10. While this song is incredibly catchy, I can’t help but be disappointed to learn that they are saying “teach me how to Dougie” as opposed to “teach me how to nut” (which is what I originally thought they were saying and will continue to sing). Just one question: who/what is Dougie?

Until next time…

Why Did You Wear That: The Essentials

By |July 22nd, 2010|Why Did You Wear That?|

As I’m getting older (and older… and older…) I have come to realize that what they say about “quality over quantity” is oh-so-very true. During my last closet clean out, I noticed that I had a ton of garbage and duplicate garbage that when added together could have amounted to one really nice piece as opposed to several shitty pieces. Just like friends, boyfriends, and old receipts… sometimes you’ve got to clean out the old, to make room for the new.

Black Pants: You may think of these as boring and what waitresses/caterers wear, but they are a fool proof option for dressing up, dressing sexy, or dressing for work. They can carry you from summer to winter seamlessly. Get a pair that fits you well or have them tailored to get them just right.

White Blouse: There is nothing more classic than a clean white shirt. A simple white blouse can be worn in so many different ways and can be incredibly alluring when styled correctly.

Cashmere Sweater: An absolute must for any girl on the go. Stashing your lightweight cardi somewhere handy can take you from day to night.

Pencil Skirt: I don’t think anyone would argue that there’s nothing sexier than a woman in a well fit pencil skirt and heels. This is an absolute necessity and any chic girl’s closet.

Classic Pumps: Even if they hurt a little, a classic pair of black pumps can be worn with just about anything (including your black pants or pencil skirt).

Everyday Bag: This is basically your day to day carry on luggage. You need to carry everything from your wallet, to your change of shoes, to your portfolio. Needs to be durable and preferably have a lot of pockets to stash your goodies and keep you organized.

Clutch: All it needs to hold is your credit cards, ID, cash, cellphone, keys, lipgloss and camera- all while being cute.

Trench: A classic trench is a staple for brisk fall days and chilly spring nights.

So clean out the clutter and replace it with quality staple pieces that will last.

Five Things To Do Online Rather Than Stalk Your Ex

By |July 21st, 2010|Why Did You Date Him?|

facebook-stalking

We all know that the internet is ruining our dating lives but are you spending your valuable time worrying about others’ web presence? I’ve spent my fair share of time internet stalking via Facebook and Twitter and good old fashion Google… but there’s only so many searches you can do online before you’ve become bored and run out of background checks to run. Below are some more useful ways to waste your time online.

  1. Look up something you didn’t know. Knowledge is power, my friends. I Google just about everything. I hate not knowing the answer to things and who doesn’t like to always win an argument? Nobody. Don’t try and argue with me.
  2. Read the news. Novel idea, I know, but some people are only up to date as to whether Jennifer Anniston is actually pregnant or not. Why not become worldly and have something more interesting than Jessica Alba’s new bob to talk about at dinner?
  3. Find out about your ancestry. I mean, this seems like a no brainer to me. Who doesn’t wanna find out that they’re actually related to the royal family of Paraguay?
  4. Shop. Another no brainer. I’m starting to think I may need to put “online shopping” as a “skill” on my resume. I really have a knack for it, but this is a skill that should be honed and can only be done so with hours of practice. Don’t have you size in store? Not a problem, pal. Just find it online and use the best coupon codes from websites like Raise while you’re at it.
  5. Manage your finances. I guess this is a pretty funny thing to mention after encouraging you to shop online, but having a handle on what you are spending is very important. You never want to be worried that your card will be declined when trying to purchase those new Louboutins, so getting your bills and banking set up online is key to keeping yourself in check.

So put down the mouse and stop worrying about what Tommy did last weekend. (Yes, we know you’re totes hotter than his new gf, but who cares?).
