More Shopping For Me

barbara Leave a comment

There are a couple of things I need to do today. I have to find a housewarming gift for a party this weekend and shop for a few casual shirts to go with my shorts. I found a few shirts that I like from JCrew. Check out this three-quarter sleeve stretch shirt. It is made of lightweight cotton and is slim-fitting.

Another one that I like is this classic washed chambray shirt. It has a flattering slim fit and roll-up sleeves. Both the shirts look good when paired with shorts or pedal pushers.

Nice huh? Now that I have found the shirts I want, I better start doing the other 2 tasks.

Warm weather is here and if you plan to spend a lot time relaxing in your backyard, you may want to get these glass wasp catcher.  They are eco-friendly and great for controlling insects, wasps, mosquitoes and more.  This catcher traps insects by using sugar water as lure.  They hang from a loop and is made 100% from recycled glass. Besides acting as insect control, they look nice hanging on the trees in your yard too.  Check out gaiam.com for more information.

The beach season is just around the corner. If you are heading to the beach very soon, you may want to check out Louis Vuitton 2009 Beach Wear collection entitled Summer Spirit.  I love the clothes, the shoes and the bags.

Seeing all these beautiful luxurious beachwear makes me want to go for a vacation. I am so ready for a break. Though I won’t be wearing any LV swimsuit, cotton shorts, poplin tunic, open-toed pumps or  monogram tote at the beach, it has definitely given me the travel spirit. I better start checking out some beach vacation rentals now 😉

What a better way to add some colours to your desk than this pretty tulip USB hub in a window box.  There is a USB high-speed port in each cheerful tulip. I simply love the bright red colour of these tulips.  These gadgets are fun and functional. They are compatible with most USB plugs for both Mac and Windows systems.  I am definitely going to get these tulips for my work desk.  I wonder if they have a cute KVM switch as my husband is looking for it.

Denim Style For Spring/Summer 2009

barbara

Jeans are a staple piece that every woman should have in her wardrobe.  It is the most versatile item that one can buy.  Every woman needs at least one pair that would make her feel sexy and sophisticated.  One of the key trend this spring/summer is a pair of skinny jeans and fashionistas all over are talking about it. While shopping around, I found this pair of fantastic MatchstickJeans from JCrew.  It is really trendy and perfect when paired with flats, open-toe heels or tucked into boots.  What I like about this skinny jean is that it slims through the hip and thigh and has a straight narrow legs.  If you want to look chic during the hot weather, get a pair of Matchstick Jeans today.  As for me, I would need to pop some diet pills before I could wear one.  Skinny jeans are not exactly figure-flattering for those who have a curvy figure.  Perhaps a high-waisted skinny jeans would look good on me.

I don’t know about you but I really dislike those pesky staples.  I don’t like to remove these metal doodads and sometimes my fingers will accidentally get caught in its teeth.  Ouch!  Do you know that staples hardly get recycled?  Actually they are often the cause of increase in paper recycling cost because they contaminate the recycling stream and jam machinery.  So, if you want to go green, you can bind your papers together with this ingenious Staple-less Stapler from LatestBuy.com.  It can bind up to 7 pages by using a special cut, fold and tuck operation.  Get one for yourself today and say goodbye to metal staples.

Piece Of Cake

Found this smart kitchen gadget at Charles & Marie which I believe every home should have.  A cake cutter!  I find it really hard to cut up a cake properly and serve it to my guests most of the time.  Therefore, this brilliant Piece of Cake cutter is godsend.  It looks like a tong with a triangle on top and it works as a cake cutter and lifter.  All you have to do is to slide the cutter down on the cake and then squeeze the tongs slightly.  Voila, you can transfer the perfect piece of cake into the plate.  No fuss at all.  Available in funky Orange, White and Yellow.
