Hey FB/Blogger Parents
Just a reminder that this weekend is the Tax Free weekend to school shop!
Georgia's Tax Free Week: July 30-Aug. 2, 2009
Applies to:
+ Clothing under $100
+ Computers/computer equipment under $1500
+ School supplies under $20
Georgia has also scheduled a separate tax free week for the purchase of energy efficient appliances (priced under $1500) for October 1-4, 2009.
Sarina's request for school clothes this year:
A button down shirt and converse sneakers.
So glad I dodged a "mini-skirt" request for another year at least! LOVE IT!! <3
So it's tax free weekend, New Fall stuff is 40% off and I have an addt'l 30% off outlet coupon... Sounds like Sarina might get loaded tomorrow!!
Happy shopping.

Military Vest - ON, now GONE!!
So this vest that I blogged about last time, I went to the store to actually try on and...
Voila, btches!
Wow! That goes superhord, son.
Unfortunately I didn't have the $$$ that day to actually purchase the vest.
Went back yesterday to check on it, and it's GONE!!
I should have KNOWN b/c the sales lady was sweatin' the vest when she saw me come out of the fitting room to look at it in the long mirror. She probably bought it RIGHT when I left for like half the price I would have paid for it. *SIGH*
So back to square one on "Mission: Fall Fashion Supremacy". Gayness!!! =P

Inspiration this Fall
Come on mild weather, I got some shopping to do!!!
Here are the looks I love this fall:
Silk Shift Dresses
Military Vests
Oversized Dark Glasses
Trench Coats
I also need some eyeglasses! Trying to find a really cute style that I like, something different but not sure yet. I'm thinking I might get a couple pairs if different colors. I'm kinda digging this two-tone look! Might look good with my black hair. What do you think?

Guilty Pleasure...RHWOA!!
Ok, so as much as I want to say I'm NOT going to watch this season of Real Housewives in Atlanta... I'm probably going to watch this season, faithfully. lol
Especially since I learned they have a new addition to the cast, Kandi from Xscape.
For those who didn't catch last season and are thinking of watching, I found this recap on Popwatch.com to bring you up to speed....
After the jump, a quick update on what's going on with the Atlanta ladies, according to Bravo.
Kim: When we meet back up with the ladies, Kim will have broken up with the mysterious "Big Poppa," yet she'll still be reeling from it all. (Translation: It ain't over!) And, of course, she'll still be trying to turn her busted voice into a successful music career, with the help of the new gal, which brings us to...
Kandi: A friend of Lisa, the newbie jumps right into the nest of ladies. The recently engaged Kandi, who is a former member of the '90s R&B girl group Xscape, sets her sights on launching her solo career with a new album and by helping Kim.
Lisa: She's still doing real estate, but with that slowing because of the economy, Lisa decides to launch a clothing line called Closet Freak. Mmhmm. Lisa also contemplates having another baby -- but her husband's NFL career might deter things.
NeNe: The fan-favorite is still busy doing the charity thing while also looking for her biological father. Looks like her sassy mouth is going to get her into more trouble, too! (Translation: Hell yeah!) Oh yah, and the fan favorite's fan-favorite friend Dwight Eubanks will be back.
Sheree: In the best move ever, Sheree throws a divorce party to celebrate the end of her nuptials. To keep the celebration going, she throws herself into her clothing line, She by Sheree, and its runway debut.
And, of course, the release doesn't detail who's fighting with who this season, but we can generally assume that everyone will be fighting with everyone. Or at least hope for that. The release says funny things like that NeNe will "explore her ever-evolving friendships with the other housewives, with some dramatic results," and that with Lisa "old rumors resurface." Translations: catfights. Lots of them! Hallelujah!
Premieres Thursday July 30 @ 10pm on Bravo!!

Blogging just got more awesome!!
I see my BFF/alter ego has begun blogging again. BLOG GAME ON! lol
Nice!! Happy Monday!!
K. So in other news, my mission for a new look is full swing ahead!
A cool thing about working my weekend retail gig is seeing the clothes people wear. Some walk in kind of outrageous (i.e. Michael Jackson Memorial T-Shirt as a dress with a large gold belt! WHAT?!!) But more often, style mavens arrive in supercute ensembles!!
One of the best looks I've seen so far was a lady in a deep blue/indigo wrap dress with bright scarf as a headband and silver gladiator sandals. It was simple, but tasteful. The bright colors in the scarf really played off of the dark blue of the dress. And you can never go wrong with a cotton wrap dress, it fits perfectly and is comfortable.
This gave me some inspiration for my "re-invent" project this fall. I really want to play up on accessories, which I don't always do, but they REALLY DO make your outfit. Right now I'm going to stock up on accessories- scarves, shoes & jewelry, then figure out where to go from there.

Back to School
Hard to believe summer is winding down and the kids will be back in school in a couple of weeks! (August 3)
I printed out Sarina's school supply list and it's ridiculous how fast it adds up! I've totaled about $70 worth of stuff?!
I've heard there are websites you can buy a whole pack from and save $$, anyone heard of this? If you have the link, let me know! If I find one, I will share!!

My Grown Up Toy Wishlist
If you have a gutter-mind, this list is NOT what you think!!
(Shame on you!!)
It has just come to my attention that there are some COOL little gadgets and gizmos that I would LOVE to have for myself (or receive as a GIFT, hint! hint! lol)
If you have these already, I'm jealous.
If you don't have them, GET them so I can borrow or so we can start a "club" when I get mine. =)
1. AMAZON KINDLE!!
Those of you who know me well, know that I am a BOOK LOVER. I have dreamed since I was a little girl of having a library in my home... Now this may actually attainable with this super slim, magazine size electronic book!!
Depending on the size, it can hold between 1500 and 3500 books, which are downloaded directly to the kindle in a manner of seconds after purchasing!!
Of course, it's not the library I was picturing as a youth, but if you think about how much more diverse your music collection is with an IPOD instead of stacks of CDs- I can only IMAGINE what my book collection would become!! =D
And now I won't have to worry about taking up counterspace in my kitchen for cumbersome cookbooks!!
This item is priced around the same as the IPOD touch, but for someone who reads as much as me- definitely worth the money!!!
2. Keurig B60 Special Edition Gourmet Single-Cup Home-Brewing System
Okay, so don't get me wrong. I LOVE my Gevalia coffee maker!
But I'm also a big fan of other warm drinks like tea and cappucino. The Keurig Home Brewer makes a single cup of whatever warm drink you fancy, and come with an adorable carousel of different flavors to choose from.
Plus can you IMAGINE how HORD this would look in my kitchen?!!
Talk about Modern Accessories!! lol
Also I'm an every day coffee drinker, while Latrail is more fairweather. It seems like I waste a lot of coffee making a pot in the morning when he doesn't always drink his share.... aaand I can think of about 101 OTHER useless reasons to justify this purchase!! hahaha
3. NINTENDO DSI
I didn't realize how many cool things the DS can offer an adult as well!
Learn another language!!
Crosswords (No more paper and pencil needed!)
And then a lil' OL Skool!!
...OUT OF TIME FOR NOW!! I'LL CONTINUE WITH THIS LIST LATER!! :)
