Purse Prejudice

Recently I have found myself back in the midst of the college environment, sitting in class as I onc

Cheaper Alternative to Steve Madden

For months, I’ve been lusting over the Steve Madden BGracey tote. Not only did I feel the need to own a handbag in a color other than black for the summer, but I also found the large rosette design to be perfect for casual warm-weather excursions! Unfortunately, I didn’t want to spend the $54+ for it. :’(

When I found a similar satchel last month (in a soft pink) at Icing for $38, it reignited my desire for a bag in this style. Once again, though, it was still more than I would have liked to spend – so I moved on without it. But, as I was walking around Roosevelt Field Mall today with my brother and some family friends, I found the very same satchel at Icing (this time, in an off-white) on clearance for only FIVE DOLLARS. <3

To be honest, I would have preferred the light pink version of it – but you can’t argue with an item being on sale for 87% OFF. :D I admit that the material and design is far from the same quality as Steve Madden, but I’m willing to settle. :P The color has grey-blue undertones, depending on the lighting, but I’m still quite content. It’s large enough to fit whatever I usually carry (wallet, phone, keys, camera, iPod, makeup, etc.) and then some. The size is actually perfect for those days when I want to carry snacks and a bottle of water with me when I go out. XD

In other news, I found these two lovely planners at the Barnes & Noble across the street. I know that I’ve gone completely electronic when it comes to writing my weekly schedule, but pretty little books like these make me want to go back to penciling in all my events and to-do lists again. *le sigh*

On a final note, check out this photo I took inside of Dylan’s Candy Bar. Can you believe that these “rocks” are actually chocolates?! I couldn’t, either. :P

Let Them Eat Cake

There was a small farmer’s market outside my office building today at lunchtime.

Since we are going out of town (camping) this weekend, I held off on buying anything. Well, except for this.

Cherry Vanilla Bean granola. Quite delicious. After checking out the farmer’s market, I sat outside soaking up the sun for a while. I wasn’t the only one.

Lots of workers were also escaping their frigid offices on their lunch break. It was gorgeous. I eventually headed inside to actually get some lunch. I went to a cafe in my building and made myself a salad from the salad bar.

Brussels sprouts, steamed brocolli, spinach, mango, peppers, etc. All of their salad greens, fruits, and veggies are organic and they clearly label everything that is vegetarian and vegan. Nice. But the best part is the juice bar!

I got an orange, pineapple, strawberry, spinach, carrot, and celery juice. Can you tell I was trying to cram my body with nutrients? I am anticipating my diet this weekend to be less than stellar, so I’m loading up on my fruits and veggies now.

After work I went to the gym for an hour long Muscle Max class. I upped my weights today, so I’m thinking I’ll be feeling it tomorrow!

And then after the gym, I stopped by a boutique called Bazar. They always have the cutest dresses and their prices are very reasonable. Today, I wasn’t looking for a dress, though. I was on the hunt for a purse. And I had success!

The brand is Let Them Eat Cake. I love that a.) it’s faux leather and b.) the straps are convertible so it can be worn over the shoulder or as a crossbody purse.

Now I’m heading out again to pick Ryan up from class. G’Night!

The Relationship Quiz

It’s never easy to accept when a relationship is over, whether you are effected by the disruption or the cause of it.  Luckily for you,

Hottywood Helps! 

This little quiz will help you to realize how much intolerance you are able to endure from your mate before finally packing your overnight bag and running for the border. 

Be warned that the truth hurts, but in the end hurt never felt so good. 

When you are tired of hearing the sound of your mate’s voice, do you:

  1. Spend all your time in the bathroom flushing the toilet repeatedly to drown out your partner’s voice?
  2. Remove all the writing untensils from the house and then tell you partner to write down everything it is they have to say?
  3. Resort to a telephone call using sign language?
  4. Threaten to never have sex with your partner again if they don’t shut up?
  5. Suffocate them with a bunch of Safeway bags?
  6. None of the above.  No one will date me. 

When you stop trusting your partner, do you:

  1. Replace every telephone number in their address book with that of the city morgue?
  2. Eat a spoonful of quick drying cement, French kiss them and become permanently joined at the lips?
  3. Cheat on your mate with as many people as you can in an effort to be an even bigger whore than you believe them to be?
  4. Put caramel in the seat of all of their underwear?
  5. Eat a bag of Funyons just before it’s time to do the grown up?
  6. None of the above.  My mate dumped me for a midget gypsy pole dancer.

When your partner makes goo-goo eyes at the restaurant waiter/waitress for an extra free basket of bread, do you:

  1. Get the server fired by insisting to the restaurant manager that the particular server stars in a recurring role of ‘America’s Next Top Pimp’s Bitch’?
  2. Jump in your partner’s lap and dry hump them during the dessert course?
  3. Blindfold your partner with a handful of burnt spaghetti?
  4. Openly discuss the furry mole that’s growing between your partner’s waxed nipples?
  5. Order the most expensive thing on the menu [to-go], then end the relationship dramatically while stiffing your partner for the bill. 
  6. None of the above.  My partner can no longer eat solid foods because I broke his/her jaw bone the last time he/she flirted with someone else.  

If your partner perceives you as a moron, is it because you:

  1. Don’t know the telephone number for 9-1-1?
  2. Own a drawer full of the same pairs of mismatched socks?
  3. April Fool’s Day jokes are played on you every day?
  4. Attempt to pay your speeding tickets with an EBT card?
  5. Can never find ‘To Wong Fu’ on the Chinese take-out menu?
  6. None of the above.  My mate is just as much of a moron as I am.

You are probably not relationship material if you:

  1. Communicate with the voices in your head more than you do with actual people.
  2. Think a third wheel in a relationship has anything to do with a tricycle.
  3. Would rather make love while watching a Dominos Pizza commercial rather than a skin flick with the words ‘Butts, Boobs and Butternut Squash’ in the title.
  4. Think Dorothy was a genius for walking into a forest full of lions, tigers and bears. 
  5. Believe the shortest month of the year would not be so short if it wore high heels. 
  6. None of the above.  The cleavage on my back seem to be a real turn-off to people.
