So THIS is why my suitcase weighed 61lbs! At least I have reading materials for the week. Been saving ‘em. (at Casa Dorada Los Cabos, Resort & Spa)

There is truly a science to men’s suits and shirts. Sometimes I forget this amongst the piles of pink ribbons and candy colored fabrics that adorn my desk at work.

When I used to work in Shanghai, there was a little tailor shop next to the Jing’an Temple off of Nanjing Rd., where I had custom shirts made for The Boyfriend on several occasions. They kept a detailed record of my purchases and knew me by name on my third visit. They took AmEx and would deliver the shirts to my hotel room. It couldn’t have been easier.

One of the shirts I bought for Marc ended up being lent to one of his friends, who wore it to a big job interview and subsequently got hired.

The temple is considered lucky. And while a good (and lucky) shirt is hard to find, the good news is, it’s easy for us all to buy a shirt that’s made in China.

Big News!

Today is a very big day. I have been given a very big promotion at work, and the entire team I have been working with for almost a year is about to find out that they will all be reporting to me from now on.

My boss is having a little breakfast in my honor so we can tell them together, and I offered to pick up the bagels and coffee. I’ll obviously be springing for lattes and extra gourmet cream cheese.

I am ready for this job, hands down. But my head and heart are a little uneasy this morning nonetheless, and I’m finding it extra difficult to get out of bed and put my big girl pants on.

Oh my goodness. I didn’t even think about what I’m actually going to wear.

Wish me luck!


Baby, baby!

The Boyfriend and I are on our way to the hospital to welcome our nephew into the world. One day soon I will be this baby’s official aunt, but until then I promise to act as such and be the best auntie I can possibly be.

Baby, you are so loved already! I can’t wait to hold you and shower you with auntie hugs and kisses.


Happy Easter!

I normally don’t swear ever, but I didn’t even drink last night so I have nothing to blame my throbbing headache on at all this morning and this is fucking annoying.

If I didn’t know better, I’d think I was in at least two bottles of wine deep last night.

I better not be getting sick.


I have a huge meeting at work today. I am super, duper, took-a-Xanax-with-my-coffee-this-morning nervous.

So I’m currently at Sweet Lady Jane buying a shitload of over priced cupcakes, scones and brownies I plan on using as bribery since my meeting goes well.

Being an adult is hard, yo.


I just saw Alessandra Ambrosio buying “two packs of Marlboro Menthol Lights” at a liquor store in Santa Monica.

She was driving a really nice black Range Rover. And her skinny jeans were so skinny.

Moral of the story? Old habits (and models) live and die hard.

P.S. I was buying red wine. It IS Tuesday.


It’s a good thing I took a Benydryl because there is the most ridiculous kitty paw on me right meow. @highoncrystal
