Alexander Mcqueen

2010-02-11T17:57:00.002-05:00

Just thought I would share one of my favorite collections from the late Alexander Mcqueen. I really admired his work, and I hope his legacy will continue.

Hey I have that too

2010-02-08T20:41:00.004-05:00

Don't you love it when your watching tv and someone has the same outfit as you or maybe the same cell phone. Admit it, it makes your feel cool, like you really do have good taste.

Thats what happen to me when I was watching Burn Notice last week. I know it's really dorky but I have the same artificial plant in my den. I was so excited when I saw it because I personally decorated my families tv area. So its official I have as much of decorating skills as the set designer for Burn Notice.

Check out a little clip from the show below to see my twin plant.

100 hearts reached!

2010-02-08T20:27:00.002-05:00

Thanks to all of my fellow etsy members who graciously hearted my shop. I'm now at 103 ( I think) It might 102, any ways I just wanted to share my little happy news.

I love the heart feature on etsy because its a way to share your shop with others so heart my shop so I can heart you back.

Just added this new scarf to my shop, Lola, hope you can stop by and take a look.

Moose & Zee where are you?

2010-01-12T17:10:00.007-05:00

So I have a baby niece who loves ( love is an understatement) Moose & Zee the hosts of Nick Jr. So I thought I would buy her a stuffed plush of them so she could be fulfilled in life, BUT I can't find a reasonable priced and well made toy anywhere. I'm surprised that Nickelodeon is not manufacturing them, because the kiddies love them. So If you find Moose & Zee anywhere let me know.

Doctor Who! No Don't Leave David Tennant! Please!

2010-01-05T23:49:00.005-05:00

So I had a little mini break, in which I spent most of my time searching all through Youtube looking for the last Doctor Who episodes featuring David Tennant. If your a Doctor Who fan than you understand my determination and my new found sadness about finding and watching those last episodes. It won't be the same without David Tennant, but I will give the new shows and doctor a chance.(maybe, the littlest things bother me and the new doctor's voice is a little deep and raspy,that's all I'm saying). I'm going to end this post before I get to dorky and then realize I need to get a life but .....

I thought I would share some Doctor Who Etsy finds with you

2009-12-26T23:06:00.003-05:00

I saw this video, and I thought it was funny because it reminded me of those after school PBS programs I use to watch. But I love how involved etsy is in their community so I thought I would share it:

2009-12-20T17:59:00.003-05:00

I have just noticed that I continually misspell dinosaur when I'm typing, so if any of my blog members notice my unfortunate typing habits please feel free to email me.

I even misspelled dinosaur on my etsy page, how embarrassing.

Anyways I thought I would blog about it so people would know I did learn how to read and write.

Even more embarrassing,there's a spellcheck button!

Sebastian the Blue Dinosaur Scarf

2009-12-19T20:14:00.005-05:00

Just added a new scarf to my etsy shop, Sebastian. I meant to make a blue dinosaur scarf for the longest, so I'm glad he turned out really cute.

I did not have much success with my 25% off sale, so expect some great clearance sales after the holidays.

If you live in the east coast I hope your staying warm, and if not wouldn't a dinosaur scarf help? :)

Black Friday!- Shopping Rules

2009-11-27T10:57:00.006-05:00

So If you are brave enough today you probably got up at the break of dawn for some great deals. Here is my personal advice to make your long shopping day go better.

How to be a better shopper by D.Alexis

1. Expect long lines- don't get bent over because you are fourth in line, stay positive. Start up a conversation with the person next to you, make a friend and before you know it your out of line.

2. Read Carefully- Read all signs and coupons throughly especially the fine print so you know what deals you are getting.

3.Don't be a baby be a man- I know the employees are there to help customers but they are extremely busy and overwelmed not trying to ignore you personally. Again stay positive, wait, and ask nicely and someone will help you.

4. Be prepared- Look over the stores ad and make a list so you know exactly what you want to buy and shopping will go faster. Have your form of payment ready to go when you check out. Don't be one of those people who write out the check after everything is ranged up or try to find the 3 pennies at the bottom of your purse. Be prepared people!

5.Don't go alone- bring someone with you to share some shopping time. I think one or two people should be enough not your entire family including your dog.

6. Read Above- If you can not follow these rules, stay at home! and shop online!

New Dinosaur Scarf

2009-09-16T15:47:00.002-04:00

I slightly redesigned by beloved dino scarf, heres the final result. He's a little thinner because of diet and exercise and he's sporting some felt on his tail and head instead of ric rac. I think the new dino scarf is a lot more cuddly.

I love it, I like people doing good for their communities and I love Vern Yip ( Remember him from Trading Spaces!) Heres one of my favorite episodes:

Thats Cute

2009-08-30T15:00:00.002-04:00

"Thats Cute" a phrase I use when I want something I see either on TV,in a magazine or a stranger walking by. The first Thats Cute item is an art piece I saw on a wall during the season finale of the show Royal Pains on USA network. You can take a look at a clip of my find down below. Or you can just watch the whole show @ Hulu because its pretty good. I'm not sure if the art piece is just a whole lot of plates situated on a wall or just one piece, but it's pretty.

Fashion King

2009-08-27T12:46:00.003-04:00

I was never into fashion until I saw the work of Mr. Alexander Mcqueen. Theres a show called Fashion File which comes on the Canadian Channel and it showed I believe was 2005 autumn collection of Alexander Mcqueen. I just immediately fell in love with his designs. I never knew that fashion could be like that. Now I'm not itty bitty and can not fit into anything I see nor do I have the funds, but I am completely content to just observing this man's great works of art. But if you do have the funds, you can buy online heres the link:

2009-08-23T14:16:00.003-04:00

@ 1 in the morning I was reminded of one of my favorite shows on HGTV Color Splash hosted by the brilliant David Bromstad. HGTV needs to show this show more often I mean Househunters comes on like every 5 mins(and I watch it even though I'm not looking for a house,its ridiculous). This show is great it airs on Saturdays @ 9 P.M Eastern, David Bromstad is very talented, and he has a great team which includes a color specialist who takes painting walls to another level. It makes me want a color specialist even though I have no walls to paint but it would be nice to have one just in case. Heres a link to a clip of the show:

I have totally missed this show, even though I didnt watch the new season I did stay awake and watch the all-star challenge which was great. I loved the fact that chris march slept through which seemed to be the whole show but pulled off a great collection. He is my role model now! you can sleep alot and still get things done!
