What I'm Reading Now

Michael lives in my neighborhood. I do not know him but I see him around all the time. This book (his first) was named one of the top 10 best books of 2007 by the NY Times Book Review. He also just won the Impac Dublin Literary Award.

What I Just Read

My rating:

(I need to cry for 5 stars.)

Janelle interviewed me eons ago for Salon.com. She's a sassy lady who's super nice. This is her first novel. It received rave reviews and I loved every minute of it.

My New Dress

Hello everyone! I just got back from Bloomingdale's and got a new dress for my party. Yay! It's by Trina Turk. Here are two pictures of it:


It's cute, right?

I wanted to show you both pictures because I didn't get a necklace to wear with it like the chick in the first pic is wearing. (I didn't think a necklace would work with it, honestly, and was surprised to see the model on TT's website wearing one.) Instead, I got these fabulous earrings and a chunky gold bracelet:


To give you an idea of how the earrings look as opposed to a necklace, I took a picture of myself with my computer. It's not the best, but it should do.


What do you think? Should I go back out tomorrow in search of a necklace or do they work? I'm thinking I like the earrings.

As for shoes, while I would've loved nothing more than to drop a few hundo a new pair, I resisted the urge and decided to wear these lovely Chloe heels I got last year:


(To all the men out there with shoe fetishes... you're welcome for the boner, you little pervs. To everyone else... yes, I'm pale. It's winter.)

So, what do you think about everything?

Please note before you comment: I have ZERO credit card debt, so no lectures, please. I rarely shop these days and live in leggings, jeans, t-shirts, hoodies, etc. It's okay to treat yourself to something nice every once in a while, which is what I've done on this fine November day. Besides, I'm a woman, dammit. Indulging my sensual side with sexy heels and a killer dress every now and then is necessary. (I know I didn't need to write this disclaimer, but I don't want you all to think I'm slipping back into my old ways.)
