I broke out the 'ol cape today:



(different color tho)

10/20/2011 11:41:56 PM

my tights for tomorrow are a brightish light purple I'm pretty excited

10/20/2011 11:44:17 PM

gah I was drooling over this one last winter. I need to find one this year

10/20/2011 11:46:18 PM

the only thing with capes is I feel like I would eventually snap one day and flap my arms around to get the material out of my way - I don't like my coats and stuff to get caught in things

and ughhhhhh hurry up and get cold, Bama - I want to wear sweaters and not sweat

10/21/2011 12:02:49 AM

Has anybody noticed that the fall looks in magazines are really slouchy/shapeless this year? Fall is usually my favorite season because of the structured blazers, jeans, and dresses that come out after the summer months of floaty things. But this year I keep seeing ugly, bulky sweaters and unflattering drapery.

For example, if a real human wore this, you'd look like a hobo!!!! The model in the middle looks like a sister wife

ew

10/21/2011 8:43:12 AM

I think I would also look like a seacow pregnant or not in those clothes. I think you have to have close to a board shape body to pull that off.

"ugly, bulky sweaters"

I went to Kohl's the other day and only found two sweaters that didn't make me look like a linebacker

these trends need to stop

10/21/2011 9:55:21 AM

stop shopping at stores/designers that sell trends

go for those that stick with classic sillouettes and update them year after year. You'll still get that structured blazer, but it may have a little ruffle this year....know what I mean?

10/21/2011 11:19:08 AM

Speaking of classic, anyone looking to buy some bright white dinnerware? I want restaurant quality stuff, but not 36 salad plates so maybe someone wants to split it?

10/21/2011 11:42:30 AM

there used to be a place at the Raleigh Flea Market (fairgrounds), it was inside a building and they sold restaurant quality stuff, white plates, checkered plates, utensils, etc.

you can buy items individually, not by lot

10/21/2011 11:45:13 AM

there's also a restaurant supply store on South Saunders

10/21/2011 11:47:08 AM

Guess I'll have to go and see if they have square plates.

10/21/2011 11:55:32 AM

egyeyes, LOVE that cape!

If you dont have a serger then I suggest a zig-zag stitch to stop fraying

Has anyone on here tried Wen haircare? I am chopping off all my hair soon because it is SO damaged *sad* and I want to start the growing out process all over using better products. I'm thinking the cheap stuff i've been using was the main issue because I let my hair air dry 99.9% of the time and very rarely straighten it (once a month maybe)

basically i got sucked into an infomercial and bought it. it has pretty good reviews online though

so yea, anyone have good results? if not i'll keep you updated I guess

10/25/2011 8:52:15 PM

def upgrade your products. Go for sulfate-free hair products. Sulfates dry out your hair and turn it into a mess. You'll spend more ... but you don't need to use that much product.

Also, try not to wash your hair every day.

10/25/2011 9:46:14 PM

^my head would look like an oil slick if i didn't wash it every day. hell it looks that way by the end of the day almost

10/25/2011 9:51:09 PM

^ I should have been more clear. If you have dry hair, avoid washing it every day.

10/25/2011 9:58:46 PM

tip: sprinkling baby powder on your hair will help degrease it enough so you can have an updo with no worries. Thats what I've been doing on non-shampoo days.

10/25/2011 10:05:18 PM

Just googled Wen. Sounds really cool. How does it smell?

Also, the company founder is a hottie. He looks dreamy on the site.

10/25/2011 10:44:50 PM

i have no idea it hasn't come in the mail yet. but i'll let you know

i'm kinda iffy just because its like a shampoo/conditioner in one thing and everyone is always NO NO NO DON'T DO THAT and it doesn't lather or anything. you just goop it all up in your hair comb it through....


but it supposed to be really good for color treated hair and i'm about to drop a lot of money dying mine so i'd like the dye to stay as longs as possible. that is worth 30 dollar bucks to me.

10/25/2011 10:49:05 PM

I looked at the ingredients list and it's sulfate-free, so that's reassuring. Def report on how it turns out.

The only thing that weirded me out from the site was that it tells you (in the FAQs) that you can use TONS of the product. Which does seem like a way for them to make more $$$ ... but since it's an all-in-one product, it does make sense that you'd use more product.

I'm pretty intrigued. But I just dropped $100 on Paul Mitchell products, so I'm not buying anything for a few months. Plz report back!

10/25/2011 11:01:45 PM

I always see their infomercials while I'm at the gym. I have been interested in trying it, but haven't had the balls to yet. My issue is I have a lot of thick hair that gets oily after about 24 hrs.....and I am worried that the bottle wouldn't be big enough for the amount of product I would need....so yeah, please do report back.

10/25/2011 11:26:32 PM

This is a pretty good deal for Woozie's. I have a couple of these and love them and with my voucher - I just got 5 more.

I've heard alot about TOMS shoes... what's your opinion? Comfy or no? Worth the $50ish?

10/26/2011 10:32:43 AM

I love mine in navy
http://www.toms.com/womens/classics/navy-canvas-classics-shoes

I wear them all the time now that it's fall ( I wore them all spring) when I don't have to be dressy. They have held up really well, and are super comfortable. I wear an 8.5 and ordered an 8.5 and they fit just fine.

10/26/2011 10:38:24 AM

^^^ I know right. I just like the decoration. haha

10/26/2011 11:19:01 AM

toms = the most comfortable shoe ever ( or pretty darn close)

10/26/2011 11:22:21 AM

3^im getting some for christmas. Cant wait. It was a toss up between those and sanuks, but the charity part won me over. Still might get sanuks later.

10/26/2011 11:22:21 AM

I forgot TOMS has sunglasses

drool

10/26/2011 11:28:11 AM

I tried some TOMs on at a local boutique and they looked hideous on my feet, don't know if it's because I have big feet, or the color, or what but it didn't work out so well. Damn shame too cause they were on sale.

10/26/2011 11:36:41 AM

I think they are pretty ugly in general. But a lot of people adore them, and I probably wear stuff other people thing is hideous too, so meh.

10/26/2011 11:38:07 AM

I really like Sanuk's for some reason but I have a sneaking suspicion they would look like shit on me...


where can i try them on?

[Edited on October 26, 2011 at 11:50 AM. Reason : nevermind...i guess i'll just try REI then order on amazon if i like them]

10/26/2011 11:49:03 AM

I'm looking for casual/comfy shoes (but not sneakers) that I can wear with jeans during chillier weather, which is why I was looking at TOMS. Any other suggestions besides Sanuk's?

10/26/2011 12:20:05 PM

Clark's Wallabees...

i would buy a million pairs of them if i could afford it

10/26/2011 12:25:57 PM

^Yes

^^Puma tekkie jams are awesome. lots of colors to choose from and pretty affordable, especially when puma gives discounts.

10/26/2011 12:38:11 PM

I know I am in the minority with this opinion, but toms are really really ugly. any time I see someone wearing them I'm all "wtf are they ....... oh..... toms......."

10/26/2011 1:53:48 PM

TOMs look like the shoes my students would wear because they constantly had to slip their shoes on and off at school. As such I will always think of them as kids shoes

10/26/2011 2:03:18 PM

they do remind me of my keds when i was a kid, but no laces having to muck things up

10/26/2011 2:31:44 PM

i like the Puma Repli Cat III Suede sneakers...

but i would not like paying $70 for them

10/26/2011 2:34:13 PM

Another shopping website, but this is all jewelry!

Some prices are out there, but others are fantastic!

ENJOY

10/26/2011 4:22:13 PM

i bought a pair of toms wedges but ended up returning them because i didnt like how they looked on my feet and went with nothing in my closet

also imo toms just look like they would stink to high heavens

im always seeing high schoolers around her running around in them (adults dont sport them here really) and they're always dirty as hell and discolored, hence why they look stinky

i agree!

not that these are super attractive, but if you can still find these, they are insanely comfortable. i have the green ones, tan/brown ones, & the orange ones
http://www.sierratradingpost.com/keen-willow-canvas-shoes-slip-ons-for-women~p~2273u/

i guess this is the new version. i've not tried these so i can't say how comfortable they are/aren't, but most everything keen is comfortable

I just want somewhere to complain lol but I have my yearly exam later this afternoon and I'm really nervous because I'm afraid of how much it will hurt. I havent had anything "up in there" since my last yearly and it hurt then too so I have a feeling it's going to be much worse this time...


cant wait to get this all over and done with. my poor lady bits

10/27/2011 3:14:10 PM

One of my favorite pair of shoes that I own are by Keen. I LOVE them!
