I have a habit of saying boo urns sometimes. It’s a fun word. If you don’t know the meaning then see here. I noticed in my stats that I’ve gotten hits for this term. Apparently there is a t-shirt by this company called Glarkware.
So for all of you that are looking for the boo urns tshirt, here you go.
I love these shoes even though I would never be able to afford them. Apparently chunky heels and platforms are back for S/S 2006. I’m not much of a trend shopper, I tend to buy things to last most than a season.
Here’s the non-slingback version. Gorgeous. The model’s hairy legs gave me a chuckle 😀

I like organic food. I find that it’s much tastier. However the dent in the wallet isn’t that fun. This report by people at Consumers Reports tells you when it’s best to spend the extra money (if you have it of course).
Ya it’s off topic, but I thought it was worth spreading the word.

Oddzballz
I bought the purple one, its name is Slupeez. These cute little cell phone charms are made by the talented Elsa Kawai. I first saw them in early December and ordered one without hesitation. They are all handmade and no two are exactly alike (just like high priced denim guys!). While they are listed as cell phone charms, I plan on using mine as a bag charm. They would be good on a keychain also.
The First OddzBallz
Why the name?? Because they are odd and round like a ball! The OddzBallz are the offspring of my fantasy and the first OddzBallz saw the face of this earth on a warm summer day in 2005 when I did some random drawings in my sketchbook, while waiting for my flight to Providence, RI. My brain suddenly had an inspiration and my hands produced a funny creature, which turned out to be the prototype OddBeez character. I wanted OddBeez to have a body & soul, so I gave him a body using clay materials. I then baked him in the oven to make him tough. Finally, I kissed OddBeez to give him part of my soul. And that’s how the first OddzBallz was born…OddzBallz – A Part of Me
These creatures are really part of me – their looks and names are sort of related to me:
Oddbeez, the sleepy OddzBallz – cause I love to sleep!
Qwepeez, the ill-tempered, sneezing OddzBallz – cause I love to be stubborn sometimes!
Slupeez, the hungry OddzBallz – cause I love to eat and slurp!The Oddzballz jewelry charms are all handcrafted with pride in my very own dwellings in Virginia/ Rhode Island. Each of them is unique, because they are handmade, almost like us…we are unique and we deserve unique things in life…(source)
From the looks of the website Elsa started selling Oddzballz in October, 2005 and has already produced several runs of Oddzballzs. Congrats Elsa, that is freakin’ fantastic. For 2006 she has created 2 new limited edition designs
I ordered Deveelz since it’s closer to my evil nature, hee hee. There are only 500 of each one so get to steppin’

I’ve noticed that I get a lot of hits for Tano handbags. I thought I would post the Canadian retailers for those that want to know. It would be a good idea to inquire with each store as to their availability. You can also purchase Tano bags online at Musthavebag.com (I got it right this time 😉 ). Stay tuned as I will blog the Spring 2006 line when it becomes available.

I opened my email after work today and I just about had a heart attack!
Threadless has hoodies now! HOODIES, people, HOODIES. Best of all they have my all time favourite t-shirt printed as a hoodie.
I placed an order and I’ll be eagerly waiting for it to arrive. The small sizes went damn quick. The email arrived at 5:55pm. I placed my order at 7:30P.M. and by that time they were gone. Boo urns.
There were some other styles that you can view here:
Pandamonium
Radios – I really like this one too!!!

Nerd Bird Tshirt by Threadless
I’ve been wanting this shirt for awhile now but it’s been sold out. Threadless has reprinted it, yay me!
I just recently lost my Paul Frank watch, grrr. I lose watches a lot and I stopped buying them, except for the recent Paul Frank purchase. Figures I lose it. These beauties however might make me change my mind on spending a lot of money on watches. I promise not to lose you!
I really like this version also

I’m not a crazy Lululemon junkie. I own none of their shorts, tank tops or pants. I do own this and another hoodie though and I really love them. The test of a great hoodie is in the hood and these are great. Lululemon hoodies are made to last using super thick cotton. They are preshrunk so you can toss then in the dryer. To be honest, it took me a year to put my other hoodie in the dryer. I’m obsessive with my clothes and wash anything I really, really care about in cold water and I hang it to dry. Oh and it’s black, not pink like the picture.
