Hope everyone is having a great Thanksgiving weekend and got some great bargains yesterday! With the official start of the holiday season, the markets are also looking a bit brighter. Kind of. On Monday, Citigroup was bailed out from its recent troubles, with a $20 billion capital injection from TARP in exchange for preferred shares and a government agreement to... Read more »

Saks Girl
Thursday, November 27, 2008 at 9:11 am
I think I need to convert to Saks girl, because they are officially my favourite department store this season. After having walked through Barneys and Bloomies (judging from the crowd, I assume Neiman Marcus to be the same), I can officially say that Saks is offering the BEST deals this sale season! Earlier this month (when I was pondering over my pink skirt),... Read more »
The “S Dress”
Tuesday, November 25, 2008 at 10:11 pm
Just because HG is taking a break from blogging doesn’t mean that we’ve stopped overanalyzing fashion in our free time (our gmail chain frequently goes above the 100 limit). Our latest topic of obsession?I like to call it the “S dress,” because when HG first showed me, it reminded me of S. And when we showed it to other friends, they also thought... Read more »
ANTM Cycle 11- Spoiler!
Monday, November 24, 2008 at 8:11 pm
At this point, I think I’ve come to accept ANTM as part of my life. Something I just mindlessly watch when it’s on. You must admit, it’s a nice indulgence. *spoiler alert*Now that I’ve “come around” to this way of thinking, my expectations are lower and thus I thought this season’s show was not bad! There was a bit of drama, there... Read more »

Saturday, November 22, 2008 at 10:11 pm
It’s been another exciting week! Almost comparable to that week in September/October, except no major banks collapse (yet) and there were no big mergers. The DOW finally broke the 8000 point after hovering around it for a month, on Wednesday, tumbling 5.1% in a day to yet another more than 5 year new low. The downward momentum continued into Thursday, until it finally... Read more »
Gossip Girl, Last Season?
Saturday, November 22, 2008 at 4:11 pm
It’s a bit of a late rant, but I’ve had it on my mind for a looong time now and I simply must just get it out of my system. Remeber the episode this season when they went to visit Yale? Serena had on this pink and white striped blazer that is just absolutely gorgeous. The design is classic and preppy, while the color and stripes is pretty and flirty. And... Read more »
FW08 Winter Hats
Friday, November 21, 2008 at 9:11 am
Besides the classic newsboy cap, the beanie and the beret, the latest winter hat twist to hit the scene this season are these half hoodies.I first caught sight of them at Marc by MJ (left) and I thought, “whoa it looks like an oversized turtle neck- without the shirt part,” and I didn’t know what to think of it. In fact, to be honest I still don’t.... Read more »
Winter Berets
Wednesday, November 19, 2008 at 8:11 am
It snowed this weekend! Luckily, not the scary blizzard painful kind of snow (not yet anyway), but the movie kind, where they gently flurry down and then disappear as it hits the ground. As pretty as it is though, it is also deceivingly cold. In fact, it is officially freezing out there! A great time to bring out your winter hats to protect your ears from coming off.I... Read more »
Make It Silver
Tuesday, November 18, 2008 at 9:11 am
I like simple things, you may have noticed, and when it comes to jewelry I believe simplicity rules all. And while I do like a bit of gaudiness (that post will come later), I am mostly a strong believer in things that are simple - and silver.The other day I went into George Jensen just to look (with my jaw on the ground). Their items have always caught my eye, they’re... Read more »
