Cashmere Mafia

// February 23rd, 2008 // 13 Comments » // Fashion, Review

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.

New Year Activities

// January 9th, 2008 // 11 Comments » // Academic, Fashion, Personal, Wordless Wednesday

Baked: peanut butter oat bars (see recipe) I’m surprised at how much ingredients I had readily available at home.

Peanut Butter Oat Bars

Ate: Plain sushi and Californian rolls. Mum’s first attempt of making them was a complete success!

Californian Roll Sushi

Bought: Hoodie from Garage (pics as close as possible), print dress from Costa Blanca, and brown belt from Suzy Cher. Call this my post-unable-to-get-anything-on-Boxing-day splurge. Don’t you hate it when after Boxing Day, only the Large and Xtra Large sizes are left?! What about us small people, grr!

Print dress and belt

Addicted to: HOUSE. Can’t believe it took me till now to settle down and watch it. Episodes of House interspersed with university application essays completely saved my sanity. Finished season one, woot!

House

Neglected: Solids of revolution in integral calculus, BAHHH!

Integral Calculus

And that’s what I’ve been doing so far in the New Year. Oh yea, speaking of calculus, yesterday I fell asleep as soon as I got home (6pm), napped for 5 hours, got up at midnight and did 2 hours of calculus, then went back to sleep . I forsee much more of this in my IB future.
