Tip Toeing Into Spring...?

Ok that's optimistic given that winter hasn't even officially begun, but I just can't stop thinking about Chanel's Spring 2012 nail polish colours.

Appropriately titled April, May and June, these colours hit the shelves in January and are already on my wish list. I'm particularly fond of June, though it's hard to pick a favourite.

May reminds me of my recent obsession, OPI's Pinking of You.

Which one are you coveting?

Style Says

Remember in Mean Girls when the plastics tell Cady they would never buy a skirt without consulting in their friends first? Well I hate to associate myself with the plastics, but I must admit, I always need a second opinion before I splurge on a purchase. (Side-note: Who am I kidding? I love Regina George)

With my besties now scattered around the globe, it makes a trip to the mall next to impossible. Lucky for me this little gem came across my inbox.

Style Says is a social media platform for fashionistas. Basically, you shop at your fav online boutiques, and when something catches your eye, you can share it with your friends (so they can tell you how adorable you'll look in it). Nothing like a little peer pressure to get something off of your wish list and into your shopping cart.

The site has lots of great features too like notifying you when your must-haves go on sale, or when free shipping is available. Plus, they're running a contest right now to win a one month ShoeDazzle subscription for two friends. All you have to do is visit their Facebook page and select a friend to enter with.

Check out the video below for a breakdown of Style Says:

The Moon and the Sky vs. Trials of the Past

Tonight's episode of Gossip Girl ended with SBTRKT's Trials of the Past. I was totally feeling it, but mostly because it was reminding me of a song I was obsessed with a few months back; Sade and Jay-Z's The Moon and the Sky remix.

It's not just me, you hear it too... don't you?

Set Your PVR

It's TV time baby!

Now that our Monday's won't be clogged up with an hour's worth of The Playboy Club (cancelled today), we can make room for some of this fall's real gems.

First things first, Up All Night.


I am absolutely loving this show. Christina Applegate, Will Arnet and Maya Rudolph are hilarious together. Applegate and Arnet are new parents, he stays home with the baby, while Applegate works as a producer for Rudolph's daytime talk show. Rudolph plays an obnoxious diva, but is still super likeable. Sort of like Kim Kardashian (she's likeable... isn't she?).

Next up is The New Girl.


While I find this show is quite funny, I will say they need to seriously lose the laugh track (it ruins my train of thought). Zooey Deschenal is the clueless new roommate, living in a house full of dudes (trust me, I never say dude, but how else would you describe this crew?). She's super awkward which is adorable, but also kind of embarrassing.

Finally, Suburgatory.

Mean Girls meets the Humphries from Gossip Girl. This one is about a teenager from New York City (Tessa) who lives with her dad. After he finds condoms in her drawer, he packs her up and they move to the suburbs. Tessa thinks the Barbie doll like girls in the suburbs are totally lame, but I think they are incredibly amusing. I wish this show was one more than once a week.

As for my old time favs, can someone please tell me when Cougar Town will come back on? I miss it. Also, what are our thoughts on The Office sans Steve Carell? I'm feeling it.
