The humble-but-handy turtleneck

by blackbird at 2:23pm Tue, 7 Oct 2008 under Fashion, shopping, BeautyHacks, Fashion, wardrobe staples
As the cool October weather sets in, I rummage through the attic, tear out the bins of warm clothes and happily stash the tee shirts and linen pants for another year. I like all kinds of weather, but fall is my favorite time, and aside from tights, turtlenecks are my wardrobe staple. Easy to accessorize with a necklace, scarf or cardigan, I like turtlenecks in cotton and wool blends. Not itchy ones, though, so no cashmere or angora wool.

The 2008 Emmy Awards: DVR Shortcut Recap

Television's biggest night had drama, pathos, and naked people on the stage...well, maybe not naked people on the stage, but I got your attention didn't I? Last night was the 2008 Emmy Awards and since I never believe in watching the show in real time, I use Megan's Patented DVR Shortcut Method.  How it works is I start watching the recorded show about an hour and a half before the live show ends, then I try to click through fast enough to finish watching the DVR version just as the live show ends.That way, you watch three hours worth of inane speeches and bad hosting jokes in an hour and a half.  It's a better viewing value.  On with the show.

I don't want to guilt-trip you, Internet, but do you know how much a stack of September fashion magazines costs? Or how heavy they are? I wanted to edumacate myself on trends for Fall, 2008, so I bought a bunch and hauled them home. And got a hernia. And now it turns out that hauling fashion magazines around doesn't even count for Weight Watchers activity points, even though it should.

Pulling it all together at TJ Maxx

by Jenny Lauck at 6:43am Wed, 3 Sep 2008 under Fashion, dresses, coats, BeautyHacks, beauty hacks, TJ Maxx, Fashion, Petite
In just a few short weeks, I'll be celebrating ten blissful years of marriage. These last ten years have brought us new jobs, new cities, three beautiful children and for me? Extra weight. Through it all, we haven't had a lot of opportunities to sneak away and celebrate. So when Susan suggested that I use my $50 gift cards from TJ Maxx to look for something to wear to a romantic dinner with my husband, I nodded my head and headed out the door.

TJ Maxx has me dressed for success

Big changes are in store for me. I'm going to return to work after 15 years of being at home. I've been on some interviews and am waiting to hear about a couple of positions (fingers crossed!) and exploring my options. Fortunately, my previous experience looks like it might lead to a great job and I'm getting my ducks in a row while I think about what the future has in store for me.
