J. Crew New Arrivals… Top Nine.

As I write this, I’m stuck in Las Vegas (thanks so much, snow!)  One of my favorite things to do in moments such as these, is to do a little fantasy online shopping.  And J.Crew’s new arrivals are just so..

Viva Las Vegas

As I write this, I’m in-flight – on my way to Las Vegas, where I will literally, have dinner, go to bed, give a presentation, and fly home.  It will be a long two days, but fun all the same.  I love flying even more now that there is Internet on longer flights.  For whatever reason, when I think of Las Vegas, I obviously think of sparkle, but I especially think of sparkly cocktail rings.  I did not pack one in my suitcase (as this is a work trip, there won’t be time to sparkle… I’m planning on getting as much sleep as possible tonight before my big morning tomorrow!) Below are nine favorites –  fabulously sparkly rings.

Perusing… New Arrivals from The Gap.

For the longest time, I was not the biggest fan of the Gap.  They have a fun collection here and there, and then they go dark for a while with boring basics.  (Like this summer, they had the best striped t’s and fun chiffon sandals… then they ruined things with all those dumb black pants and that terrible ad campaign.  And don’t even get me started on that terrible new logo… thank heavens they scrapped that!) Recently, I’ve had a change of heart – they’ve had a lot of good stuff!  As you may know, I am obsessed with their tall department.  Finally, shirts that are long enough but not super boxy!  I wrote about their striped t’s here, but in my book, these were life-changing.  I buy all of my t-shirts from the Gap now.

Sunday Crafts – Signed, Sealed, Delivered.

The tradition of sealing letters with wax is an ancient one.  For years, people would have their own custom seal made (from lead, bronze, brass, etc.)  This was a tradition and actually common, and most everyone had their own seal. 

Gym-spiration from J. Crew..

To say it quite bluntly, I’m not too jazzed about my appearance right now.  I got busy, and got out of the routine of getting to the gym regularly.  It’s time to pick up the pieces and get my act together.  No ifs, ands, or buts about it.  Eating healthfully, working out regularly, getting to yoga, laying off the sauce.
