There’s No Place Like Home

by cheapchica11 on January 2, 2009

shoes_rubyI’m finally back from my TX/Puerto Vallarta Holiday vacay and I’m so excited to be home…to get back to work…to be typing on my computer…and to start a new year! You never realize how much you miss your everyday surroundings and small mundane things until you go away for a really long time!

As much as I loved being in paradise, I didn’t get much of a fashion vibe at the beach town we were in and the “fashion” embraced by most American tourists on vacation there hardly qualifies! I missed the city, the Style Section of the NYT, shopping, and fashion in general. I’m a true addict and going 12 days without it was just too long!  It’s great to be back and I’m looking forward to posting and being in New York all next week!!

Bubbles

by cheapchica11 on December 31, 2008

706dOne of the best parts of New Year’s Eve- besides the cute new dress and the midnight kiss- is all the bubbly!  I love champagne, but sometimes I find it a little too dry for my taste so I’m always on the look out for something a little sweeter.  I’ve tried Prosecco, Cava and all sorts of Sparkling Wine, but I always come back to my favorite…

This New Years, you have to try a bottle of Veuve Clicquot Demi-Sec…it’s the lesser known white-label cousin of the regular yellow-label Veuve and it tastes sooooo much better!  It’s not too dry, not too sweet and the overall effect is just right. 

I usually splurge on it, but I just found it online for only $39.99 so I’m guessing you could also find a similar price at your local discount liquor store. 

But whatever your taste this New Year’s Eve… be safe, enjoy yourself and best wishes for a wonderful 2009!!

A Choo Christmas

by cheapchica11 on December 24, 2008

img_3334-croppedI can’t imagine a more perfectly decorated tree!!  The Beverly Wilshire Hotel has decided to buck the played out ornament trend and decorate their Norway Spruce with beautiful pairs of Jimmy Choos.  The entire tree is covered in them and they’re even giving one lucky guest a chance to win a very special Jimmy Choo present…if you can guess the value of the “sh-ornaments” then you could win a two night stay at the historic Beverly Hills hotel, a private consultation with a Choo stylist and a High Heel Spa treatment at the hotel’s spa.

But what I really want to know is, what are they going to do with all of the shoes after the Holidays???

Could she be…

MORE ANNOYING?  whitney-port-6952

As yall know, I’m a huge Whitney fan but after watching her on The Hills Aftershow in that ridiculous headpiece I’m beyond annoyed.  Not to mention, that scene they showed of Whitney and Olivia at Bergdorf’s meeting Manolo Blahnik where Olivia told us she was a “deb” twelve times, was quite possibly the lamest 30 seconds of TV ever to air.

If that clip is any indication of what’s to come them I’m so over The City…before it even beings.
