Wednesday, October 31st, 2007
After recently getting into the reality series, “Fashionista Diaries,” I remembered a particular dress that one of the girls wore on the show and it was a striking beautiful gray color. Typically gray is a mish-mosh of white and black, but for some reason, when she wore it, it lit up and caught my attention immediately. Not knowing who designed her dress or where she bought it, I went on a hunt for one of my own and found the BCBG MAX AZRIA Turtleneck Sweater Dress to be pretty much exactly what I was looking for! This dress features a stunning bodice with rib-knit accents, on top a full skirt full of contrasting colors. Thrown around the dress, is a knit belt to match and a lot of character. Wear this with your best knee high boots or stilettos and bring out your inner fashionista.

Shawl-Collar Fleece Popover
Wednesday, October 31st, 2007
I keep getting J.Crew fall catalogues in the mail and every time I see it, I know it is not going to be good for my budget. And sure enough, each time I open it I see at least 5 new things to obsess over before finally succumbing and purchasing them. One of the new things that I saw and really liked is this Shawl-Collar Fleece Popover sweater. It comes in a variety of color options and is made out of fleece cotton, which is a perfect addition to your winter wardrobe. It’s a fitted pullover with three quarter length sleeves and a large front pocket. It has an oversized folded collar forming a v-neck so you can definitely layer another shirt under this.

Polar Ice Beer Glass by Metrokane
Wednesday, October 31st, 2007
I am somewhat of a beer snob with regards to the type and quality of beer that I drink. One of my main criteria for beer is that it must be really cold which is pretty much on the top of everyones list. No one likes a warm glass of beer. Once my bottle or glass starts to get room temperature, it is time for me to get a new one. The Polar Ice Beer Glass by Metrokane is a great concept for beer drinkers and can also be used for other beverages as well. It is an acrylic glass that keeps you beer cold without diluting it with ice. It has a center inset that can be filled with ice and is contained by a stopper below the glass. The ice will keep your beverage cold until you are done enjoying it and you won’t have to worry about it getting watered down.
