I have an obsession with celebrity engagement rings…I have a bigger obsession with finding knockoffs of celebrity engagement rings. I love big gawdy rings and celeb engagement rings are the perfect example…just a little bit too much. Currently on the hunt for Carrie Underwood’s massive rock of engaged:
Look at that thing – it’s huge! Even her girlfriend can’t help but stare!

Twas the week before Christmas and all through the house/Not a creature was stirring, they were all at work.
So it’s a week before Christmas and I haven’t started shopping. Well, that’s a lie, I did pick up a Starbucks Holiday cold cup for someone (no clue who yet – probably my bro). I’m a procrastinator in the worst way. I’ve never been the girl to clear out the holiday shopping in August, or November…or shoot even a week before the holidays. There are a few upsides to my procrastination, shopping on the 22nd or 23rd the crowds aren’t so frightening and sometimes you can save some $$$. Last year he thought I purchased stocking stuffers, I thought he purchased stocking stuffers so there was a last minute trip to CVS to make sure stockings hung by the chimney with care would be plump with goodies. I got so much stuff for under $20, everything was marked down on Christmas Eve…I might wait until Christmas Eve to do stockings this year too!
If you’re still doing some last minute shopping for people, might I make a few suggestions from discoveries I’ve made? If you’re shopping for a woman as of Tuesday Target has the most glorious 3/4 length puffer coats on sale in black, white, brown and purple – $15!!!!! Amazing, right? I picked up a black one and it has kept me warm and cozy throught this obscene cold we’re experiencing in the Northeast. I’m not sure when the sale ends, but this jacket is amazing!
Another great gift for someone you really really really like would be the new iPod Nano. I picked one up in September before I had my wisdom tooth removed and it was the best impluse purchase of the year! It’s the perfect size, the expanded screen is beautiful, I love that I can listen to my music or the radio (shout out to local radio) and the video camera is pretty good. Clearly not a light purchase, but if you’ve been thinking about purchasing the Nano for someone just do it – they will love it – you’ll be a hero and Christmas 2009 will be better for it.
If you’re a procrastinating shopper, best of luck and Happy Holidays!!
Mimosa is on the way out , and turquoise is ready to takeover 2010. That’s not my opinion, that’s straight from the color authorities at Pantone who have been selecting the ‘Color of the Year’ since 2007. Previous selections have (if my memory isn’t totally tarnished) definitely been ‘it’ colors:
2007: Chili pepper
2008: Blue iris
2009: Mimosa
Does the color of the year title, while meaningless, make you look at turquoise any differently?
Here are some of my turquoise wants of the moment, images are linked to purchase location. Clearly some are a bit more practical than others..but hey, maybe I can wear turquoise Roberto Cavalli spiked heels to work one day?
Oh, and if you will be venturing into turquoise in 2010, one of my favorite color combos is bright red and turquoise…give it a shot.
I love Scrabble, I love Cheez-Its, how did I not know about this sooner????
Woooo!
Admit it, you’ve found some greatness in THAT aisle of CVS. You know that aisle, it could have a foot massager, a Crock Pot, a Christmas Tree, or in my case a Snuggie!
I didn’t cave to the Snuggie rush of late ‘08, but I could not resist the leopard Snuggie that I found for $14.99, or the the kids Snuggie, which was also $14.99. That doesn’t seem exactly fair, but whatever I found Snuggie’s at CVS and that makes my weekend complete.
Now if we could just get going on a Snuggie Crawl for Albany…I’ve got the stylish leopard print..let’s make it happen.
