Some of the Best Advice...

For your bleh days...

“Sometimes you just have to put on lip gloss and pretend to be psyched.” 
 

For the days when people think you're a little emotional....

“Some people say, “Never let them see you cry.” I say, if you’re so mad you could just cry, then cry. It terrifies everyone.” 

For those days you get labelled bossy and controlling and really you're getting shit done...

 

"I just love bossy women. I could be around them all day. To me, bossy is a not pejorative term at all. It means somebody's passionate and engaged and ambitious and doesn't mind leading."

 

For when you need to reevaluate your body issues...

“You look like you look, and be comfortable. What are you going to do, be hungry every single day to make other people happy? That’s just dumb."

Nuff Said.

Girl Crush Alert

Many of us ladies, even if we're not that way inclined, will admit to some lady-loving at some point. While most of us wouldn't kick Mila Kunis out of bed, my girl crushes tend to focus on funny, cute, smart women who may not be the sexiest but ultimately I cannot stop being drawn to them.


My number love has always been Tina Fey and then after watching Parks and Recreation I started to experience some love for Amy Poehler. Now after watching Bridesmaids, I am all about Kristen Wiig. If you've seen it, you'll understand. If you haven't stop what you're doing and go to a cinema. It's magical!

Current Loves, Wants and Needs

*This navy drape dress from local online shopping site Diligo which I’m dying to order but they don’t have my size.


*My new grey boots from Bronx Ladies. Loving grey this winter and surprisingly ankle boots turned out to be friend.

*Tina Fey’s new book which I have ordered and waiting for delivery. I have a major girl crush on Ms Fey so cannot wait to read it!



*Being able to drink lattes again. After that awful diet and only black coffee, nothing seemed more wonderful than having a coffee with milk. I realize my latte intake may be a bit too much so am limiting it. But there is nothing more fabulous.



*I’m in the market for a new bed. And as I claim to be all grown up and sophisticated, it’s only right that my bed be the same. I’m currently lusting after a baroque-style headboard but have yet to find one. If you can help, I can pay you back in hugs!

Monday's Mantra

This week holds some new experiences.
I believe my ear is going to burst.
I’m addicted to Snickers, The Beatles’ All My Loving and Liz Lemon.
I wish I didn’t feel this way about my job.
It’s sucky to fear rejection so much.
Soundtrack/Mantra for the Week Fight, Fight, Fight!

The Ultimate Dream Job...

Over the years my dream job as varied from Princess to Catwalk model (I came down from that cloud really fast) to Amazing Race winner to Tina Fey's best friend.

More realistically I've always wanted to write about things I love. Blogging definitely indulges, er allows me to write about things I love. Unfortunately the lack of remuneration does not make it a job per se.

Until now...Bronx Ladies Footwear has announced a faboosh competition where you could win a year of shoes for blogging.

They're searching for the ultimate female blogger who embodies the core values of the brand, namely fun, sassy and a lover of affordable fashion. Um, yes please.

The chosen one will have to blog three weekly entries for the brand covering a range of topics. And in return, a year's supply of free shoes.

If you'd like to enter, and you'd be crazy not to, head on over here for all the deets.

Good luck!
