The Fabulousness that is ‘Sex and The City’

Posted in Shopping & Fashion, Writing with tags , , on May 30, 2008 by citygirlmemoir

If you live outside New York, then like the rest of the people (excluding other earlier premiere openinginternationally), we had to wait one extra day for ‘Sex and The City’ premiere. Which was last night. At 12:01am. Unfortunately, I could not make it, but I am going to catch the movie today!

As Fashion-Goddess is my witness I shall make it today!!

I’m so excited about all the outfits the girls wear in the movie! And you will definitely hear about my review later!

Now what to wear? I’ve got my Jimmy Choo shoes on, but no outfit!

Love,

What is Sexy?

Well, I was going to post about my outing to Strut Fashion show this last Friday; however, I’m postponing my post about Strut, because I think this is more important than a Fashion show.

Disaster relief is needed for Myanmar, Burma and the Sichuan providence of China. Currently you can donate money to American Red Cross for Sichuan providence of China, so Red Cross can provide all the assistance to care for the residences.

As for Myanmar, Burma, the government finally gave access to UN leaders. What to do now is for readers, like you, to click here (UNHCR) and start donating to help the victims of Myanmar.

If you haven’t done your day of good deed then here’s your chance. Both disasters are in dire need of help. You can donate to one today and donate the other tomorrow. Which ever floats your boat as long as you contribute somehow, someway.

If you have information pertaining to other legitimate organizations to donate for these two causes, please feel free to post a comment about them.

Oh, yeah… if you missed where to go to donate click here for the American Red Cross and here for UNHCR.

Love,

Free Smashbox Highlighter Quad?

Posted in Shopping & Fashion, Uncategorized with tags , , , , on May 14, 2008 by citygirlmemoir

How can anyone resist anything that is FREE?

Receive a consultation at the Smashbox counter at your local or nearest Nordstrom and receive a free highlighter quad? I suggest you go to this Smashbox site here, find out which Nordstrom they are giving away the highlighter, and print out your certificate! Now mark your calendars (May 16 – 18 ) and I’ll see you there!

Love,

Nordstroms Rewards Party!!

Posted in Environment, Shopping & Fashion with tags , , on May 6, 2008 by citygirlmemoir

It’s that time again! Nordstrom Rewards Night! The night of all nights when Nordstrom closes shop and reopens for card members to load them up with free booze, free food, free stuff, and 10x the rewards points! Hungry fashionistas (this includes your’s truly) everywhere scurry to the doors of Nordstroms with their “shopping partner” (i.e. significant other or spouse) waiting to spend, spend, spend a-whole lotta cash! By “spend a-whole lotta cash” I mean spending a-whole lotta significant other or spouse’s hard-earned cash. What do you think the free beer there is for?

And speaking of Nordstrom, according to the company’s press release in mid-March Nordstrom debuted its version of environmentally friendly shopping bags and boxes. Yes, and boxes. Who knew that they were not recyclable before? Nordstrom company’s paper shopping bags are now 100% recyclable; the recyclable gift boxes will debut a month before the Holidays. Besides from the (finally) recyclable shopping bags are the company’s posh looking reusable shopping totes, designed by Ruben Toledo (the bags are currently available in West Coast stores). These silvery fashionable totes can be compressed into a small rectangle case for easy storage and are offered in the Accessories department for your not-so-easy spending of $21.95. Yowza! Cute bag, though.

Happy Shopping!
