The lululemon Maternity Wear Challenge

September 5, 2009

You all know of my love of lululemon. You all know I’m a faux frugal who really, really likes to shop. You all know I’m pregnant. Thus, I’ve put myself up to a challenge.  A fashion challenge. Having not bought any “formal” maternity wear my entire pregnancy, and having gone on a serious lululemon bender [...]

Fit or Fugly?

May 11, 2009

To know me and my blog is to know I love fashion. And I haven’t posted about fashion in awhile here, because, well, with all the weight gain and loss, frugalness and the grey of a very long winter, I just wasn’t feeling all that fashionable. But, alas! Spring is in the air and the [...]

A sure sign I need to get a job

April 9, 2009

I had a meeting today. Like a real business meeting with real managers at a real company.  Which meant that I actually took a shower, put on a button-down shirt and then attempted to put on “work pants” which didn’t exactly fit like I remembered. (It’s probably from all the sitting around and eating bon bons [...]

My new mission: make money to save money. Or just rearrange everything in my house.

February 13, 2009

I have a new obsession.  Saving money.  I even opened up a savings account today.  The bank told me I’d have to keep a $300 minimum balance.  Then they said they’d waive the monthly fee for 6 months.  Thank g-d. It’s hard to save when I have no money coming in the door.  Well, very little. One [...]

October 17, 2008

Wondering where I’ve been the last two weeks? Unpacking my maternity clothes. I’m kidding, but seriously, I forgot how many ugly maternity clothes I have. I must have been deluded by all the progesterone scurrying through my body of late, but early on in this pregnancy I actually got excited to see my maternity clothes again.  I [...]

My get up and go got up and went

August 20, 2008

Somewhere between the chlorine fumes at the pool and one too many Boston Coolers this summer I’ve lost the will to be motivated.  By month six of my self-imposed retirement, I was ready to take on the world. Now, nearing the end of month eight, I’ve let go the nanny I’ve always been wary of mainly [...]

Storksak rejection letter

April 27, 2008

Dear Emily bag, It’s been a long year since I first received you as a present for Mother’s Day.  I coveted you, as I saw you on many a friend and celebrity’s arm.  When I used you I was giddy. You looked like a purse, yet you were waterproof, well-insulated and had many a pocket [...]

The Momiform

January 25, 2008

I pride myself on being fashionable.  I mean, I’ve dedicated at least three categories on this blog to fashion.  At work, I would get a tingly feeling inside when someone complemented my outfits.  I remember clearly (ok, it was only a week ago) on my last day when my coworker said, “we are now losing [...]
