Got the sniffles. :-(

Well today I am for sure feeling under the weather. I had just enough energy to get through the photo shoot yesterday. By the time I got home, my fever was out of control. I ate some chicken noodle soup, popped a few Nyquils, and passed out. OF COURSE I had to tape Barack's speech! When I woke up at midnight I watched it. Not sure if I was crying or tearing up from this cold/flu thing, but I was so happy.

Once I figure out how to post pics in here I can show you guys some outtakes from the shoot. I'm headed to Toronto next weekend (CAN YOU BELIEVE IT'S SO SOON ALREADY!??!!), and I NEED to find some fab clothes for the trip. All of my girlfriends are like, "girl, shop in your OWN closet!" But I need something new. Cocktail dresses are on the menu today. I will find something...I swear net-a-porter.com is my saving grace. I can see how things look on the models, read their pics in their own mag, and shop brands I can't get locally. It's just phe-nom-en-al.

Ok. I'm sneezing all over my comp so it's time for me to make more rose tea (yum! from La Duree', my fave Parisian tea house) and cuddle up on the couch.

Peace, love, & shopping!

Back in the saddle...

Ok so I've realized that I've been so blatantly awful with keeping up with this blog. I don't even blame you if you've given up on me. But seeing as all of my fabulous girlfriends have their own blogs (have you checked out that amazingly Shake Your Beauty Blog - www.tiawilliams.net/blog) from my lovely friend Tia? So hot.

Today should be an interesting day. Most of the buzzStaffers are off enjoying their last few days of summer. I've opted for a Staycation, mainly because I bought a house last year and barely had time to enjoy since I travelled the first six months of the year. I lived at my house like it was a hotel! So I need to enjoy the nice weather, iced tea on the porch, BBQs...everything we love in South Jersey. Of course I'll be back on the saddle and in Toronto for the festival next weekend and in Spain later on in Sept. So it really is the end of a nice staycation...;-(

So today I'm shooting a feature for the Style Section of the Wall Street Journal. I have been working on my fall wardrobe for a little over two weeks? And already I have to be ready to showcase the best for fall?! It's been a bit stressful, to say the least. I had to get rid of my beloved summer curls. I've (or my hair stylist, really), replaced them with a jet black longish (for me at least) bob. I'll try to post some pics from the shoot once it's done.

Ok. Time for me to go and do some work. Or appear to do something, at least!

Peace, love, & shopping,
