gone glamazon, gone

Word on the street is that my nemesis (only in my mind), whom I fondly - and jealously - call "Glamazon" is moving to the glamazon mothership of NYC. Don't get me wrong, she has no idea the Battle of the Fashionistas going on at the office. Probably because she's winning.

There are days when I come to work thinking, "Hey! I look pretty stylish today!" And then I see her 5'9" skinny, size 2 arse struttin' around wearing her vintage high waisted tulip skirt with a billowy silk blouse tucked and 4 inch heels and long blonde silky hair that always looks like there's wind blowing through it... BAH! I should just go home now!

Alas, she is moving on to the final stages of the battle without me. She still needs to defeat many more fashionistas with big boobs and small waists in order to come out champion! She has a rich boyfriend at her side so keeping her designer artillery at optimal levels shouldn't be difficult. I wish her luck. Perhaps we'll meet again some day.

get a new face

Who doesn't love a facial? Well, to be perfectly honest, my bf doesn't... But have you seen his pores? Yikes.

I get facials at Calidora once in a while and they're having a F&F sale with 30% off facials! Wow! Print out the coupon and make an appointment. If you're a first time client, get a free consultation. They'll use some fancy machine to take photos of your face and point out all the nasty bits. Hmmm... Maybe you don't want to know!

For more information: Calidora! Locations in WA and CA.

frock you

my favorite dress of the week (on sale, of course!)

I love the shape of Diane von Furstenberg's Nightingale dress. It'll hide all your post-holiday juiciness and it'll look fab with black tights. (Don't you love how tights are "in" these days? We girls don't need to freeze our tushies off in the name of fashion any more! Well, at least until next season.)

ON SALE for $595 from $850.

christmas cooties

This old broad that I work with has been wearing her Christmas sweaters for the last few weeks. That's not necessarily my gripe though. I mean some people just look good in them.. My gripe is that she only has two Christmas sweaters and she's been alternating them every other day!

Must be nice to just wake up in the morning and know what you're going to wear.

gladiator

I totally succumbed to the bah-humbug season and bought something for myself. I know, I know, I still have gifts to purchase but it was such a good deal! Not to mention it was really cute and it'll give me a reason to do something for NYE (besides sit at home and fall asleep at 11:30 pm.)

I found it at Nordstrom Rack yesterday for $124.50 from $498. I mean, that's good right? Fine, fine.. Maybe I should return it. But isn't it so cute?

UPDATE: Sorry, I forgot to mention that it's by Marc by Marc Jacobs.

At least I didn't buy anything when I went to Target yesterday! I should get points for that!

the girls need love too

Get a free pair of panties and $15 off a bra purchase! (You don't have to buy a bra to get the free panties!) Click on the thumbnail to enlarge and print.

do i even need to tell you?

Mario's (in Seattle and Portland) starts their sale today! Woohoo! But if I were you (and didn't need anything desperately), I'd give it a couple months and try your luck during the Mario's Super Bowl Sale where all women's sale items are an additional 50% off! See you at 10 am! I'll fight you for it.

Oh and Barney's is now down to 60% off!

unheard of!

Shu Uemura is having a sale! I haven't really tried their makeup but I've heard that their brushes are top of the line. Get up to 20% off with this code HOLIDAY07. Get pretty now!

she speaketh the truth

Me: holding cute skirt up to my hips while at American Eagle

12-year old niece: That's really short.

Me: Yeah.. It is kinda short.

12-year old niece: Uhhh... Like, no offense to you, but that skirt is really short.

Me: Oh yeah?

12-year old niece: Yeah.. You're like kinda old for that.

Me: sigh...

I guess I'll go over to J. Jill now, or maybe Chico's.
