Getting ready for Las Vegas

November 7, 2007 by Tricia

Speaking of Ugly Betty … I’ve kind of felt like her over the last two weeks as I’ve been busy buying new clothes for my trip and well, just because I really did need some new clothes!

Around home a t-shirt and sweat pants are just fine and since I’ve been quite the home body since I got really sick two years ago I haven’t been updating my wardrobe all that much. I really haven’t had to … until now.

I must say that it’s a little intimidating to go into a clothing store when you feel a little out of touch with what’s in fashion these days!

If I was just going to the blogging conventions in Vegas I wouldn’t worry about it all that much, but on Saturday night the Bl0ggers Ch0ice Awards are being held in the TAO nightclub which of course is a hot celebrity night spot and very trendy … so I’ve got to look the part.

I think I managed to do ok shopping and what I’ll be wearing should be acceptable. I think that’s the only place that we’ll be going that I’ve really got to worry about my appearance in any great way. You don’t have to really dress up for the casinos do you? It sure doesn’t look like it when I watch shows like CSI Las Vegas.

Oh and when I looked up what kind of temperature Las Vegas would be in November last month I read that it’s usually only about 65 F during the day and mid 50’s at night … well, I checked the weather there earlier today it was 78F and right now it’s 82F … so much for those nice sweaters I bought. I’ll have to be sure to pack some t-shirts now!

Anyone have any quick Vegas tips for me?

I’ve already been warned by a nurse that just came back from Vegas to NOT wear my contacts while I’m there since the air is so dry. Well that won’t happen! I’ll be wearing my contacts on Saturday at the very least.

BTW I’m still sick! More on that later!

Shopping coupons and deals just in time for the holidays

November 2, 2007 by Tricia

So is everyone starting to think about shopping for the holidays? I know I am. Every time I go out to a store or even as I browse online I try to look for things that the people on my shopping list might enjoy. This might be the first year that I actually get my shopping well in advance of the holidays!

I’ve got another coupon site that you might want to take a look at. It’s called Abusaki.com and the site is filled with discount coupon codes. There are a number of well known stores listed such as Bloomingdales, Nordstrom, Fredericks, Target, Overstock and more.

You can search through the site listings to find a particular store or you can browse for Coupon codes and Free Shipping offers within the category listings. Shopping categories include clothing, accessories, auto-tools, baby, books and magazines, office, toys and games, computer electronics, financial, food and wine, gifts, flowers, health and beauty, hobbies, home and garden, jewelry, movies, music, sports, fitness and travel.

One way that this site differs from other coupon sites is that you can look around the site for coupon codes that you’d like to use while you shop on line, but you don’t have to use them immediately. Nope. You can store them in a basket and use them when you are ready. Abusaki.com also clearly lists when coupons are set to expire so if you store some coupons in your basket be sure to use them before it’s too late.

If you’re starting to shop for the holidays like I am visit Abusaki and see if you can find some deals.

A great site to get movie, retro and funny t-shirts

October 8, 2007 by Tricia

When you come home from work or when you are just sitting around relaxing at home – what do you wear?

I suspect that many people, like me, would answer that they dress in jeans, shorts or sweats and a t-shirt when they are relaxing at home. Ok, I know some of you and I’m certain that a few of you might answer pajamas or even less, but most of you probably dress in comfy pants and t-shirts right?

mclovin.jpg Since I work at home I seem to wear a lot of t-shirts. I haven’t purchased any new ones for a while, but I might buy some soon as I’ve been looking at an online store that specializes in
funny t-shirts. Some of the best ones that I found on the site have lines from great movies.

When I was browsing through the movie t-shirts section I saw that there were shirts from the movie SuperBad like this Team McLovin t-shirt.

Do you remember Olivia Newton John? I wonder what’s she’s up to these days. Do you remember when she came out with an album? I can’t remember what it was called, but the hit song from the album was Lets Get Physical. I hate to say this, but I remember when they used to play that song in fitness clubs all the time and I do believe that it was a t-shirt slogan if I’m not mistaken.

letsgetphysical.jpg Whether it was a slogan or not, I did find a Lets Get Physical t-shirt in the retro section at Flippin’SweetGear.

There’s actually quite a selection of t-shirts ranging from funny t-shirts to political, holiday, movie or tv and retro themed t-shirts. There’s also long sleeved shirts, hoodies, baseball caps, boxer shorts, mugs and other gear with funny phrases on them too. The prices for the t-shirts and other items are reasonable. Being in Canada I always check to see if an online store will ship to my area so I was pleased to find that any items purchased at Flippin’SweetGear can be shipped throughout North America or even internationally.

Check it out for yourself then come back and tell me which t-shirt was your favorite.

Bjork’s coat?

September 28, 2007 by Tricia

Why do I think that this is something Bjork would wear?

Is this Bjorks coat?

I have no idea where this photo was taken or perhaps and even better question to ask ourselves might be why this coat was made in the first place. Surely the people that do market research for the fashion industry don’t think that this will a hot selling item?

Maybe Bjork and or her fans might wear this, but unless I was lost in an ice storm or a white out without a coat I wouldn’t be caught dead wearing this!

What do you think? Some fashion statement, huh?

Shop Barbara – designer bras, panties and clothing

September 27, 2007 by Tricia

I’m sure that I don’t have to tell the women reading this post how important it is to wear a bra that not only fits well, but feels comfortable too. For me the two go hand in hand. If a bra doesn’t fit properly it’s not going to be the least bit comfortable after a few hours of wear.

The other benefit of having a bra that fits properly is that it will ensure that your blouses, shirts and dresses fit well too.

There’s a large selection of designer bras at Shop Barbara. They have a variety of styles ranging from clear strap to fully coverage, lace, plunge, push up, semi and demi cup, strapless, unlined underwire bras and wireless. Designer brand names that you might recognize are Wacoal Bras, Chantelle, Felina, Jezebel and Panache plus many more.

You can purchase matching panties to go with your new designer bra as well if you’d like.

One thing that I like about this site is that when you’ve found a bra that you are considering purchasing you can see photos of how it looks from the front, back and in detailed view.

There’s also a link to a page at the bottom of the site that says Fit & Care where you’ll find tips on how to select a bra style that will flatter your figure.

Along with a wide selection of Bras and Panties you’ll also find fashion clothing, sleepwear, shoes and accessories at Shop Barbara.
