I am looking forward to Valentines this year! The boy and I will be dining out on the Monday night, to miss the Valentines madness and seeing as I have to work on Sunday - speaking of which, Sunday is my last day working at Starbucks and I couldn’t be happier.

Short Stories

RIP Alexander McQueen. ♦ I attended The Body Shop customer and picked up some Almond Hand Cream (my hands/nails are wrecked from handling so many chemicals when cleaning the espresso machine), and a  ’love (lip) gloss. Speaking of the Body Shop, I won a ‘Love Etc..’ prize pack from the Body Shop via Twitter earlier this week! I will be blogging about the goodies they sent me in the following week. ♦ I loath house hunting. There are so few houses for rent in the area I am looking in with my boyfriend. I just want to set the move in date already… ♦

I very rarely order paster when I go out to eat, it feels like such a cop-out, but this dish of vegetarian pasta was incredible. It had me beat though… ♦ Good Movies: Fantastic Mr. Fox, and Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. Bad Movie: Zombieland. ♦

I have been having some seriously good luck with Trade Me in the last week. I’ve picked up some awesome stuff including sequin leggings and a dress I’ve been trying to find for months. Can’t wait to wear them. ♦

It has struck me from a while now that many of the women put forward as style icons are promoted as such not because they’re particularly interesting dressers, but because their bodies wear clothes well.

• The Fashion 2.0 Social Media Awards are out. As much as I wished for Alexander McQueen to take the title of best innovator, all awards were well deserved.
• “I Probably Fit The Sample Size Once — When I Was 11″: Sizing Up The Fashion Industry, an incredible post via Jezebel. The comments are worth reading as well.

Go ahead and share your short stores, remembering is good for the mind!

Until next week,
