Really?

December 29th, 2009 by Ruth

I’m not one to write about something if it’s not positive but in this case, I think it’s worth chatting about. I mean, really, Lindsay Lohan, really? Why are you going to waste your time expanding 6126, your trashtastic leggings line, into a full clothing line? I just don’t get it!

After your failed fashion design attempt with Ungaro and the stalled sales of 6126, why waste your time? I’m not one to wish ill things on people so I wish you luck and much success in revamping your flawed image.

For a good laugh, follow Lindsay Lohan on Twitter.

Apiece Apart Cashmere Duster, Mick Margo, $867

Apiece Apart Cashmere Duster, Mick Margo, $867

Designed for a lifetime of wear, Apiece Apart creates basics pieces with the intention of pairing your wardrobe down to a few key mix-and-match wearables. Produced in New York City by Laura Cramer and Starr Hout, these designers have built a cult following of celebrities including Maggie Gyllenhaal.

This stunning 3/4 sleeve Duster is made of a cashmere wool blend and would be a beautiful addition to anyone’s closet. I imagine wearing it in warmer weather with my favorite pair of jeans and new Cole Haan flats. However, available at Mick Margo for $867, it’s light years away for me – sigh…

Not so Nutella.

CAROB

Like my mother, I have the BIGGEST sweet tooth. Not a day goes by when I don’t consider sacrificing nutritional foods for calorie-packed chocolate sweets. Whether it’s a homemade upside down salty chocolate chip cookie, a piece of Fran’s Gray & Smoked Salt Caramels, or a pack of M&Ms, like Veruca Salt from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, “I want it now!”

However, I can not continue to avoid getting into my jeans and fitted clothing for the rest of the season and must watch my weight. That said, from here on out, I promise to watch what I eat and when that craving does come along, I’ll opt for something healthier such as Carobit Carob Spread

A healthy alternative to chocolate, Carobit Carob Spread is packed with calcium and contains no gluten, milk, caffeine, cocoa, trans fats or artificial ingredients. Perfect on a piece of toast, salty cracker or just on a spoon, this delicious spread is rich and flavorful and extinguishes my chocolate cravings.

I highly suggest giving this alternative a try.
