I’m itching to go shopping. You know how it goes – everything you see in ads, on commercials and on the street looks so cute you have to have it. I am having one of those weeks, which is never good during holiday season. Between the sales and the amount I have to spend on other people, getting near a mall to shop for myself is dangerous.

I don’t even have anything particular that I want or need. I just want. Gimme, gimme, gimme.

I want new jeans, new boots and some new tops to wear to class. No more sweatshirts for this lady; I am ready to dress cute for class. And I think the perfect look would be plaid. It is cute without trying too hard, it is versatile, and the flannel shirts are nice and warm. But is it ugly? Sometimes I wonder if I really like something, or if I convince myself I like it because it is at Urban Outfitters.

Yes? No? What do you think about plaid?

Yep, shirt dresses keep on making a comeback. I absolutely adored one that I bought from Express in high school. And I’m kicking myself now for letting my mother convince me to part with it. Hopefully, whoever snagged it at the Salvation Army appreciates its timelessness.

But as someone who always looks on the brighter side, I’m making the best of my loss. I’ll just have to buy a few to replace it. Yes, a few. Just in case Janet (my mom) decides to do any more spring cleaning — gotta have some back-ups. Read More »

Target is like a playland of wonderfulness. There is row after row of things I don’t need, but must own right now. Take for example the adorable spice rack I bought for myself around Christmas time. Four months later, it has yet to see a single spice. But it looks great on my kitchen counter. And the Dollar Aisles? Don’t even get me started.

This past time I went to Target, I actually had a goal: Avert eyes from everything else, head straight for new Proenza Schouler line. I’ve been a fan of them since they debuted, and couldn’t believe Target had grabbed them for the awesome GO International Line. Read More »
