Yes, I am.
And so are about the 20 million women all over the world who are counting down to New Moon’s showing on November 20, 2009!
I am not really Robsessed or a Robsten fan, but it does make for good publicity to keep fans guessing all the time.
In case you missed it… check out New Moon lovers Rob Pattinson and Kristen Stewart holding hands while boarding a private plane in Paris tonight. Two cute!
If we only had gold. Im sure we would be trekking to the Caribbeans right now. We always talk about taking THAT grand vacation, you know. The one that has never happened YET. There is an all inclusive resort at the Riviera Maya called Karisma Hotels which cater to people from all walks of life. The Resort collection offers Karisma’s new Gourmet-Inclusive concept, designed especially for foodies. Each resort presents its own surprising indulgences and the elite level of service that makes a vacation truly relaxing. Add luxurious accommodations invigorating entertainment and the classy snap-to service that responds to discerning travelers’ requests (whether indulgent or diet conscious), and Karisma Resorts become the first all-inclusive properties to focus on individual experiences for the affluent.There is even a Kid friendly hotel I can take the kids to!
These are the terms coined for people who are bag addicts – who, cannot seem to shop and collect bags. (Like women collect shoes! Carrie Bradshaw is one!).
That puts me in a tough spot, as I love shoes as much as bags. But right now, bags are weighing more, especially if these are a Balenciaga or a Gucci bag!
If only there are promos available for these bags, I would definitely have owned one a long time ago. That doesn’t stop me from getting more bags though as there are great handbags there for less. For example, there are great discounts and deals at BagHaus available now, which makes me want to go shopping again!!!

A Vivienne Tam limited edition HP notebook – what the geeky fashionista would wish for this holiday season.
The HP Mini 1000 Vivienne Tam Edition is a combination of striking fashion sense (red with gleaming pink peonies – patterned by Vivienne from a floral print fabric) and technology that is adept with the times. Incidentally, the mini notebook has the Chinese symbol that means double happiness.
I am sure there will be a lot of HP laptop coupons that will be coming out in the coming weeks so many women can put this on their wishlist (me included!)
Here is how it looks like when carried – it seems like you are carrying a clutch bag right?

Somebody might be able to give me this book. Ever since I posted about Mrs. O’s (affordable) classy style, I have stalked her blog and followed her at Twitter. And now she comes out with a book.

Book Description from the Publisher’s Website:
Celebrated for her style and substance, Michelle Obama has transformed the role of first lady and become a 21st century icon, attracting attention from all over the world. The qualities so admired in her – intelligence, strength and charisma – radiate through her personal style, which has united accessibility with high-wattage glamour. The clothes, like the woman, feel both familiar and inspirational. Readily mixing high-end labels with more affordable brands, with a focus on craftsmanship and artistry, Mrs. O has elevated the notion of real value and ushered in a new era of "fashion democracy".
Building on the success of Mrs-O.org – the Web site that chronicles Michelle Obama’s style – MRS. O: THE FACE OF FASHION DEMOCRACY takes a closer look at America’s modern style icon, featuring more than 120 photographs of the first lady and delving into the back story of her clothes and accessories. It also goes behind the scenes with interviews from her favorite designers, including Isabel Toledo, Jason Wu, Michael Kors, Maria Pinto and Isaac Mizrahi.
Opening with a brief overview of Michelle Obama’s early years, the book goes on to provide rarely seen photos from behind-the-scenes on the presidential primary trail through the 2008 Democratic National Convention, the monumental events of election night, the inauguration and early chapters of life in the White House. The final chapter hears the opinions of Mrs. O’s adoring fans – giving the last word to the people.
Original photographs of Michelle Obama’s most iconic looks, along with commentary from fashion experts, top off this tactile visual feast. Woven together with sketches and illustration inspired by the first lady, the book reveals the story of a new era of American fashion.
Quoting a review:
Michelle’s tastes are chic and timeless. With her inner beauty and warmth she remains approachable, a model of self confidence and professionalism. Author Mary Tomer’s book, Mrs. O is a stunning book, in detail and composition. An interesting read from beginning to end.
She brings fashion to ordinary women folk like me. Love you Mrs. O!
If you are a mommy or a godparent, this would come in handy. Everyone has their favorite nieces and nephews to spoil this Christmas!
I personally like to go so I can see if the playground sets are really a steal – I would love to surprise the kids with one since we are fixing our yard lately. We need to add some more lighting fixtures and we are good to go.
Of course, I now have a pre-schooler who doesn’t think about anything about Barbies and Disney Princesses so I might throw one or two (or three) toys in.
