RiteLite LPL780D Nine LED Modern Cone Wall Sconce
It's a flimsy plastic sconce that doesn't give off much light, but it's perfect for lighting my hallway.
· $14.02 from Amazon
fnoo At least the sconce cost just a skosh.

amyuhrich I'm so afraid that things like this will ruin my love for fresh salmon...I can't even bear to try. Did it taste like normal Alaskan salmon...or was it just a different kind of good?
inamorata i'm not much of a salmon connoisseur, so I can't say for sure. It was just tasty enough to make me feel like I wasn't eating cat food.
amyuhrich Well, I suppose I like canned tuna, and it doesn't ruin fresh tuna for me. Although, that might have something to do with the fact that I've been eating canned much longer...
The King's Speech
This movie was very British, and that isn't a compliment. I didn't hate it, but I also didn't think it was very interesting and can't understand why it would be nominated for anything.

girlfriday Guess it's a taste thing. I love British films. Love em. And a big fan of the actors in this one.
riddlefish I'm with you--British humor is very hit or miss with me. More miss usually because I often just don't like the characters or it's just too much physical humor for me to get into it. Have you ever seen any British movies/tv shows that you liked?
MizzBlaze It's usually the boring movies that win all the awards
beverlynoelle But but but...Colin Firth!
Bissell FeatherWeight Vacuum, Bagless, 3106B
I just wanted a cheap vacuum. The cool thing about this one is that you can use it as either a stick vacuum or a hand vacuum. That said, it's not very powerful but it has been getting the job one so far.

Chaat Papri
My favorite Indian snack. It's a bunch of random shit mixed together. Chickpeas, potatoes, tamarind sauce, chutney, yogurt, these little crispy things, maybe some other stuff...it's amazing.
Double in Brass by The Lake & Stars Chiffon Strappy Slip
Awesome. The back of the dress is really sexy.
amyuhrich I like this. So is it technically a slip? Because it looks like it could go either way.
inamorata It's very delicate but I still think it's mostly a dress. It seems to have too much material to actually be a slip.
jacq cute! the lake & stars make such swoon-worthy intimates. it's so awesome that they did a collab with urban.

the back on that dress is gorgeous.
STEVE MADDEN leather brown COWBOY SADDLE BOOTS-81/2M
I bought a pair of these boots many years ago and it has since worn out. I finally found them on ebay and am so excited to have them back! They are surprisingly comfortable and look great with skinny jeans tucked into them.

amyuhrich Cute! That's the worst when your favorite pair of shoes wears out - lucky that you found another! Have you tried taking them to the cobbler? Whenever I buy a new pair of shoes/boots, I take them in and have a Vibram sole put on for $20. Adds traction and extends the life of the shoe by many years.
inamorata Thanks, I will remember that for next time! I'm one of those people that keeps going back to get old boots repaired until all hope is lost...I seem so desperate.
amyuhrich Haha - well who knows, maybe that's all you can do! I just get the extra sole on when they're new, because that way when the sole wears out, you can replace it, whereas if you just have the original sole and it wears all the way through, it's more difficult.
Motel Elsie Dress
Super sexy dress, but you have to go braless.
productjoy good to know
saunieindiego Get some of those bare-lifts. They are made out of clear material, and can act in place of a bra and are invisible.
amyuhrich I usually don't wear plunging necklines for this reason...I wear strapless bras regularly, have a backless bra for when I need it, but clothes that require no bra? Maybe I need to invest in some pasties. Too scary :)
girlfriday THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL! I love dresses with mesh tops like this.
amyuhrich @girlfriday I know. And I have so many dresses with mesh that it's totally unnecessary now. But I love the unique neckline.
Spicy Mayo
Spicy mayo and eel sauce make everything better.

MIZ MOZ Jayne Gray
I haven't felt this enthusiastic about a pair of shoes in a while. These boots are really cute and VERY comfortable...I walked a couple of miles in them. Also, it's Miz Mooz, not Miz Moz.
· $119.99 from Piperlime
girlfriday These are incredible. Can't believe they're comfy to boot. Love the vintage look.
amyuhrich CUTE. Love them. Do they come in other colors?
inamorata Yup, black and tan.
amyuhrich Be still, my heart.
riddlefish Cuuuuuuuute. They look like you should be walking around London in the 1900s. :D
amyuhrich @riddlefish Maybe you should be :)
Fruit Frape Stand Up Scrubie-Red-6 count
It's so cute! Actually a bit smaller than I thought it would be.
amyuhrich What do you use this for, exactly? It kind of looks like a muppet.

I don't buy much from AA but I need some leggings.

amyuhrich If you give it to me, I'll use it :)
inamorata I think you mentioned something about weird sizing at AA. I ended up buying leggings, a tube bra, and what turned out to be the world's smallest thong. Oh well.
amyuhrich Haha...well how did the leggings fit?
inamorata Yup :-) I had to go a size up just to have them be less transparent though.
amyuhrich Yeah, that makes sense. I'd have trouble shopping with them online (which is weird for me, because I purposefully do 95% of my clothes shopping online). With AA, the sizing is just so different from any sort of 'standard' - I find that their dresses run way small (I usually take a S, but there I'm a M or L), but with other things I actually have to size down. I just find it really unpredictable.
Umbra Penguin Soap Pump, Red
I never thought I could love a soap dispenser, but I do. This thing is really cute and simple.

huyhong Looks like a soy sauce bottle heh
Peanut Avocado Roll
Surprisingly delicious...the saltiness of the peanuts is balanced out by the creaminess of the avocado.

The Social Network
This movie didn't blow my mind, but I fell in love with Jesse Eisenberg.
· movie from Fandango
beverlynoelle He's kind of adorable.
fnoo Yeah, he's in Zombieland too. I keep mistaking him for that kid from Arrested Development and Scott Pilgrim. Michael Cera. Would be interesting to cast the two of them as brothers.
gkruis Adventureland!
Pins and Needles Piped Sailor Romper
I thought this romper was going to be super cute, but I looked morbidly obese in it.
ChiouOnThis I hate when that happens. Or the opposite: you get a jacket and find yourself swimming in it!
amyuhrich Obese! That's no good. I always think rompers look cute on other people but...I haven't taken that plunge; I just don't trust them to look good on me.
Colorfast Burnout Crop Tee
This made me look strange and enormous- I returned it.
NARS Lip Gloss, Chihuahua - .28 oz
This looked like nothing on my lips....in a bad way. I'm returning it in favor of something with color.
Nom De Plume Yaya Slasher Dress
Awesome dress...got lots of compliments.
jessmchung PICTURE!!!
amyuhrich Very pretty. What does the front look like?
amyuhrich Thanks for the link! Love the simple front, detailed back :)
jessmchung For some reason, I've never noticed the back of the dress when you wear it.
inamorata my hair tends to cover it up, or i wear something over it when i'm cold.
