I am a super light sleeper so Mack’s pillow soft ear plugs and a sleep mask are my best friend in the wee hours. I finally decided that my Swissair mask and Kenya airways mask were not sexy enough for the bedroom so I bought this cute hand made sleep mask from BibBon on Etsy the other day. I am a sleeping beauty now. Mmmhh…although I have an addiction to the earplugs.
I just received these fab Theory ‘Max C - Stretch Canvas’ Trousers in the post! I paid $175 from Tabloid Couture on Ebay. They fit so well it is scary. They are stretchy in the right places and clingy in the right places. I definitely recommend Theory couture for silhouette flattery. Tabloid Couture provided prompt service and delivery..check out all the other goodies they carry like Cosabella and Nanette Lapore. xxo
I’m selling my old clothes on Ebay this week. I have size 29 Goldsign jeans, Citizens of Humanity size 28, James Jeans size 29, Da-nang koi fish pants, new Nolita tops, old Alinghi tees, polos, a cop. copine dress and an Ed Hardy tee that my husband never wore. So far I am up $42 with 32 listings. Will keep you posted on total result. Am also bidding on yoga mats this week.
Thanksgiving and Christmas are so depressing and fattening that I have to cheer myself up with bling and I encourage you to do the same. Don’t take that as a blessing to install Tooth Jewellery. Although, for thoughtless entertainment, you should visit http://www.grillsbypaulwall.com/ just to see what’s happening on the Texas rap scene.
The bling I bought this week in Ebay :
A Rhinestone Belt to wear with my patagucci ski pants. It makes me look like I’m from Texas.
Dolce and Gabbana sunglasses because they cover most of my face and make me feel glamorous and hip and slightly like Paris Hilton. I bought 3 pairs for $9.99 each. Are they real?
Who Cares?
1)I’m totally obsessed with Da-Nang this season…love the metallic v-seam tee.It’s a super light weight cotton and is totally see through.
2) Da-nang Dragon Foil Henley: Also super soft cotton with a silver dragon on sleeve or back
3) Betsey Johnson Rock n Roll Dress. Soooo coool
4) Citizens for Humanity, Arrowhead flare jeans.
5)Ed Hardy. Love Kills Slowly (so true) and her tattoos are really sleeves. I need tattoo sleeves.

3. Amazon
4. Figleaves.com : Aptly named online underwear shop.
Do I really need to say it? Underwear shopping sucks! Bright lights, big mirrors and ill fitting underwear…it’s dizzying. Figleaves has a US and UK site and is currently offering 70% discount on it’s swimwear.
5.Alinghi…perhaps not mainstream but this site is just great! Look Chic in the America’s Cup Winner’s garb. There are several sales going on here and a free Alinghi waterbottle with every order.
I hate blow drying my hair…but when I don’t I have really stupid cowlicks ( I do love that word…and I really did think a cow licked me when I was little), so I’ve discovered this little brush attachment that comes with the CHI Chi Rocket
A few days ago I published “Will it Survive and buy me Botox” back when I was writing on Blogger. I’ve taken the plunge and now have my own website! I’ve been working on it all weekend and it’s soooo much harder and demanding than Blogger. My favourite blog is dooce (like everyone else) and I wanted something similar looking (I know I’m not there yet) but I started with contacting hostican…well ..I did not contact them I just purchased a 2 year package, found a coupon for $50.00 (50off-12) and paid with paypal, which I love doing because it almost seems like not spending money. 2 minutes after I pressed the pay button and my mobile phone rang. Let me stress that I live in Switzerland and that hostican lives in the U.S. I almost didn’t answer because I couldn’t tell who it was (paranoid) and it was Ted from hostican checking if I had made a purchase and then he talked me through the first steps. So yes I fell in love with Ted.
But then…I screwed it all up when I tried to change my theme as recommended by bloggeries and ladidah I ended up with a 404 error message. I WASTED hours of my saturday night trying to figure this out while watching failure to launch (very distracting: oh so very handsome) until I finally collapsed with absolutely nothing resolved.
This morning, nothing had been miraculously resolved so I found this little IM tech support thing on hostican and I found myself talking to Steven Moore. Steven Moore is my new hero. He fixed it all and I was back up and running so basically I made this site in a day. Don’t worry I will change the Header. It’s kind of blobby at the moment. I have to stress that hostican went so far beyond my expectations. I’m totally chuffed.
I was just about to sign off and I realise I have not addressed the title of this post. Aside from being fun this blog has a commercial goal. To increase returns by 20% a month. After almost a week of blogging I’m averaging almost one whole dollar a day and in three years I should be able to afford Botox because by then I will be (theoretically)making $25000 a month. So if you want to be part of my selfish Botox campaign please visit some of my links.

This is completely selfish and gratuitous self promotion. Just because I’ve always wanted one and it is early days yet but I can’t help it…I’ve added all things I love and I’ve made my own shop! It’s taken me almost all day after bacon and eggs for brunch. So come visit my new all glittery Because Pink and Green Look Good Together shop. I’ll be adding shoes soon.
So I did some pretend shopping last night. Put a couple of Juicy track pants in my basket along with a Danang top then I entered to win a $200 shopping spree. A message from my worldly L.A. friend then came in from her Iphone (I have big Iphone envy) saying that on Daily Candy there are 30% discounts for first time shoppers. This, I did not find because I suppose it had expired a while ago and because I am the last girl (loser) on earth to discover Revolve Clothing. So I sent Revolve an email asking about 30% and within 10 minutes I got an answer:
Hi there,
This is not a problem. You may place the order and go ahead and email or call us with the order/invoice number and we can take the discount off for you. Please remember that do to the manufacturers request, we are not allowed to use code matching and coupons on the following brands:
Kooba, Seven For All Mankind, Hudson Jeans, Nudie Jeans, True Religion, Joe’s Jeans, Citizens of Humanity and Paige Denim and Botkier. I understand that this can be an inconvenience, but unfortunately it is a restriction placed upon us by the manufacturer. Thank you for your understanding and we look forward to doing business with you!
So not only do I get free shipping to Switzerland I can also get 30% off provided I spend over $100.00. NOT A PROBLEM.
I’ve had this pair of Juicy Velour track pants in black with a white stripe down the side for about two years and I wear them all the time. The elastic is starting to show through the wa
ist band which is really really sad. So I’m starting to desire something new but what if they aren’t as good? I have a pair that I bought on Ebay ages ago and the waist band sucks (the pants just fall off). So I did some quick browsing online and I discovered something sooooo coool. Revolve clothing not only ship internationally they ship for free if your order is over $100. That just bumped them up to my favourite online shop with out my even having ordered anything from them (yet).
Kirsty Bertarelli
This is the ultimate glamorous achievement: Being the wife of Uber rich Billionaire Ernesto Bertarelli (an achievement in itself) and getting Audemars Piguet (ex-stuffy watchmaker recently come out of stuffydom manufacturing 20000 watches a year for the well heeled) to create “with” you a jewellery collection representing Alinghi winner of the 31st and 32nd America’s Cup. The whole set will set you back $100′000. Rumour says that Ernesto bought a set for his mother, wife and sister. What about me?? I’m still striving to get my burger (hint hint nudge nudge). Bravo Kirsty.
Bluefly is my new favourite online shop. I bought a pair of Joe’s Jeans: Socialite model in size 28 (yippee).
They are perfect. A little long but with two inch Manolos they are hot (I usually wear sneakers so will probably shorten them). I also bought a Rebecca Beeson top which sizes too big. I bought a medium and it’s a fat girl’s delusional medium.
Bluefly rules because they shipped to me by DHL to Switzerland and did not charge a fortune. There are decent discount coupons to be found out on the internet: Just do a Google search for bluefly coupon. I can’t wait to feel rich again and shop for more.
I’ve gone a little crazy on Ebay lately as well and bought 2 Dora the Explorer DVD’s and one Bob the Builder DVD for my nephew. I bought turkey jerky and Buffalo Jerky for me (hey don’t be judgmental this does not exist in Switzerland).
