Thanks Molly. Here's the bag I ordered. Originally $150 on sale for $63 - what do you think? Too impersonal?

^^the diaper bag is very cute...maybe you can put something more personal inside as an extra little treat?!

I think it's cute and very practical! You could always throw in a gift card to either a restaurant and/or dept. store or better yet, treat her to a massage.

Not going back to Italy until March. I'm just back from two weeks in Florida with my family and heading to San Francisco to see friends this weekend and then I am grounded in NYC until March (so I'll have money to shop with). And I hate winter.

So what were you shopping for in the lousy weather we had yesterday?

Ditto. It's the same here in the northern panhandle of WVa. near southern PA, MD, VA. Don't know why they fiddle with the time. No wonder people gain weight -- because it's dark too early. One year they actually left the time alone and it was way better. With all the grey days and short daylight, SAD sets in.

Feels so lame feeding the dog her dinner at 3:30, 4 pm and rushing out for the walk just so I have light to plod along through the woods.

Anyone want to switch houses for a season? We've got a floor to ceiling stone fireplace and plenty of wood (as well as auxillary heating). Just coz we're in WVa doesn't mean we're all hicks living in a cabin

Oooh, how nice! A house with a stone fireplace sounds much more cosy than my apartment. But I couldn't switch with you because I don't drive, which limits me to cities with good public transportation... and you wouldn't want to spend winter in NYC, where the snow is gray and the old water mains freeze and break. I hate winter.

Can I share I just got my wedding bands!!?? So excited..

But my wedding is like 2 yrs ltr... But my bf & I decided to wear it till before we wed then bring it back to polish & replate the ring..

Anyway I don allow him to wear now. Not till after he propose den are we allow to wear the wedding bands..

I know it sounds funny to you all. But I went down to jewelry shop to choose my proposal ring with him.. No matter which shop we enter I definitely will say 'Kindly give me your smallest diamond in your exclusive diamond range'.. Exclusive Diamond range as in, in Singapore, we have different jewelry shop, each jewelry shop has its own exclusive diamonds range which all has 100% upgrade value within 2 yr.. LOL.. Abit embarrassing to ask for smallest diamond.. But I am not diamond kind cos I am very rough & afraid if I knock onto something, the diamond fall off result to my heart tearing... I saw many guy alone buying proposal ring (huge ones @ least 1 carats).. Envy their Wife-to-be.. Too bad my HTB is not e romantic type..

So now the wedding bands are with me.. & e proposal ring is with him..

LOL...

[fieryfashionist]

Haha, I sure am! I've read all the books and even got my good friend into them! I agree, I wish they'd kept it authentic, and left the characters in London! It's not SATC... it shouldn't be in NY! I also wanted to hear Luke's British accent haha... I'm with you on the appeal of accepts (especially if the guy is cute... but sometimes the accent makes the guy more appealing haha)!

OMG!!!!! I LOVED Leo in the Basketball Diaries, and I cannot believe your sister saw him!!!!! Wow, how amazing!!!! It was the year before Romeo and Juliet came out, so he wasn't as famous, although he received a lot of critical acclaim (and rightfully so!) for his performance in Basketball Diaries!! I would've given up a few Chanel bags for that opportunity haha!

I think the most hilarious part of the books were the letters Becky would write to the banks or accountants. And their responses! But I see that they changed the story and set the movie based in NYC. I think it would've been so much cooler if Becky and Luke would speak with British accents. Then again, my fondness for British accents and people are too strong. Minal... Wanna hear something interesting? They shot "Basketball Diaries" at my sister's HS. So lucky sis actually got to see Leo in real life, even though that was way before he became the world star he is now. I wish I saw him too but eh... I went do a different HS from sis, so no such luck.

hum.... that's interesting... but at least you will get what you really love. One of my mommy's friend's DH got her a ring w/ no diamonds one time and she got so upset that they want to go back to store to exchange...but I think maybe she realized that her DH picked up for her by himself which means something.....so she didn't exchange to a one w/ diamond at the end. But I think at least her DH got the hint/lesson that even a small diamond or even paved diamond will do better next time. haha...

Congratulations. Can you show us the ring you picked??

Then again, I of course wouldn't mind meeting someone like Jude Law as Cameron Diaz did in the movie. Speaking of Christmas, I really love that pic of Yum Yum. It is Yum Yum, right? Not Puff Puff? Puff is slightly darker, no?

^^^ Hi Justine! Yeah, I guess it is a situation of the grass is always greener... We're very lucky in southern CA to have warm, sunny weather year-round. But I miss the white winters that I used to experience in Boston before I moved to Los Angeles 3 1/2 years ago. I don't miss shoveling, walking or driving in slippery, snowy conditions at all (I really hurt my back the winter before I moved from all of the shoveling).

But it just doesn't feel like Christmas here when everyone is wearing shorts and flip-flops. I know, I know, I shouldn't complain. I appreciate the nice weather, but I do miss the Northeast a lot too. I visited NYC last Christmas, and the city just felt so magical. All of the department store Christmas displays and lights are just so beautiful. You feel the giddy excitement of a child being there.

Thank you! That pic is of my little Yum Yum. He is now actually a slightly darker orange than Puff Puff. Puff Puff is very chubby and just bigger overall, even though she is a Holland Lop (a smaller breed of bunny). The 3 naughty bunnies are so interactive and full of personality. They really bring so much happiness and love me and to my family.

Nat- nice thread! FYI: 70 degrees here today, you're welcome to visit me here in the OC, and you too Minal haha!!!

LOL I totally get what you mean! I got a stomachache the other time eating street food in Thailand But gosh I just have to try it 'cos it looked so delicious and authentic...

I haven't been to India at all but I'd love to go to Goa someday! Or anywhere near the banks of the Narmada River (all thanks to Gita Mehta's expressive and sensual prose). My friend was telling me that most of the food's vegetarian but I'm hoping not since I'm such a carnivore. LOL I'm all "Give me my MEAT!"

I haven't been to India too many times, but I was too chicken to try the street food any time I was there... I think my mom tried something and uhh... not a good idea... kinda scared me away haha.
