Luxe Laptop Bag Poll — I Need an Outfit My New Mac Book Pro!

I’m so lucky and my manager hooked me up phat with the 15″ Mac Book Pro! The fact that the first one I got was bunk (hard drive was toasted) is besides the point… just look this piece of work. It’s so smooth to the touch, everything within the interface glides… the backlight of the…

For those of you who prefer intimate Boutiques over the mass chains and malls, you’ll love this online shop I discovered over the break. Disclaimer: I met one of the owners (Gemma) over the weekend.

As you may be able to tell from my previous post I’m into short jackets these days.. actually for the past couple years.

Wearing Today

This taking photos of myself at the office is tricker than I thought. I’m sitting here trying to play it cool and take the shot when no one’s looking… Do you want your co-workers seeing you snap photos of yourself (full-length body shots)? There’s no good way to pose in front of my laptop and…
