Cashmere Mafia

Posted on February 23rd, 2008 in Fashion, Review | 13 Comments »

Yep, that’s what I’m watching on Stage6 when I’m not blogging.

If I haven’t mentioned it already, I’m a huge TV watcher. Before school and all that stress came along, I knew the days in my week by what show was on TV. Survivor, Big Brother, The Bachelor, For Love or For Money, Friends, Everybody Loves Raymond, House, the list goes on. What I didn’t know was that my love of fashion and TV sitcoms can come together in the newest show to hit ABC: Cashmere Mafia.

The show blurb describes it self as “A group of successful female executives who have been friends since college turn to each other for guidance as they juggle their careers with family in New York City.”. You can see a preview here. I admit, I got hooked on the preview because Lucy Liu was in it. Then I saw all the stunning clothes these ladies put on, they’re absolutely gorgeous.

I have to also admit that the plot is nothing totally new and it competes directly with the other new release Lipstick Jungle (there’s a whole controversy on how the creators of these two shows were once very close friends and then… fall out). However, I like the close friendship these ladies share and the producers’ attempts to at least portray somewhat realistic scenarios in the high corporate business world in New York. People have called Cashmere Mafia “Sex and the City for the thinking women”, and it couldn’t be more true.

Shopcart! A New Necessity

Posted on February 23rd, 2008 in Review | No Comments »

I’ve always looked at sites like Amazon and Ebay with awe. Even those small commercial companies that provide easy shopping cart services online earn my respect. Now, here comes a site called Ashop Commerce that provides ecommerce software like complete shopping cart softwares for company owners who have a headache when it’s time to implement this feature. Ashop provides the entire package with Rich Text Editor, product and category reports, gift certificates, discount coupons, currency conversion and more. There is really no need to look anywhere else on the net after giving Ashop a try. The interface is easy to navigate, easy to use, and fantastic to look at. Not only does it give programmers and web designers the ease of mind and the flexibility they need, it also provides great usability and convenience to eager customers. So for all you entrepreneurs out there, this is a great resource that you most likely won’t regret trying.

Happy V-Day!

Remember Valentine’s Day in highschool? Yep, we’re all too busy wasting all of our money sending paper roses and four-buck-a-piece chocolate and grams to be delivered to our friends/s.o.’s classes. Ahhh… the good life.

QOTW: How do you plan on celebrating/boycotting Valentine’s Day? Thoughts on the day itself?
