Hi everyone–I’m in Chicago right now, and having a blast! Last night I had a wonderful dinner, meeting my blogger buddy Jessica from Everyday Adventures of Me in the City for the first time! And tonight I dined alone at Ballo–one of the restaurants in my hotel. I really like dining alone. It’s a very
Lavender Love Fest
Beautiful purple things–oh how you taunt me. Here are a few luscious lavender items that have recently caught my eye: Pretty plum wool coats from Nanette Lepore (pic 1), DKNY (pic 2), and Nine West (pic 3). Gorgeous grape handbags from Dooney & Bourke (pic 1) and Coach (pic 2). Love these lavender heels–I’ll take
Some Chai For My Chi
I went to Starbucks this morning, but decided not to get my weekly Pumpkin Spice Latte–for a few reasons: I forgot to print out my friend Beth’s detailed instructions on how to order the perfect Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte. My pumpkin craving is currently (albeit temporarily) satiated after indulging in some delicious pumpkin beer over
All Things Pumpkin
G is fully aware of my love of all things pumpkin-flavored–especially right now as the seasons are changing and the leaves are turning. Mmmm…pumpkin just epitomizes autumn if you ask me. And let’s be honest–beer pairs well with every season. So imagine my joy when G came home with this: Blue Moon’s Harvest Moon Pumpkin
Fun Times Flashback
I just saw the Chinese restaurant episode of Seinfeld for the first time since this happened and I cannot stop laughing (and I’m kinda craving pretzels now). Ahhh…fun times!

So instead, Mrs.FiveCamels agreed to cut me some slack and show you jewelry I already have that I love so much. So here they
7 Reasons I Love Texting
7 reasons I love texting, versus talking to people on the phone: 1. I hate talking to people on the phone. 2. You don’t have to use real words. 3. You’re forced to get to the point. There’s only so much small talk you have to deal with when you’re limited to 160 characters. 4.
Weekly Starbucks Adventure–Take 2
My second trip to Starbucks went pretty well this morning. I walked in self-assured (just like last week), although slightly less smug. Smugness–like self-esteem–is something that takes time to build back up. I think one more mermaid cup experience ought to do it. So I walked in–armed with my knowledge in the form of blog
Thirsty Thursday
Want to know what I did last night? I went over to my friend Jill’s house to watch the Vice Presidential debate, and we drank every time we heard the word maverick. Senator “Can I Call Ya Joe?” Biden gave us an unexpected run for our money unleashing about a dozen mavericks in under 30
All Things Loved In September
1. Being released from Steph’s basement long enough to finally meet some of my online friends in real life! 2. Testing out the Smile Shutter Technology on my new camera (a Sony Cybershot w150)! When set to this mode, you can press the button to take a picture but the camera will not actually snap
