DISQUS

First!

carpeviam · 5 months ago

I can't believe I really cared whether or not I was the first to comment. Okay, maybe I did. It seems everyone else in blogland does. I'm not usually first at anything, so to be the first to comment is pretty awesome in my book!

Leanne Marshall's collection looks like everyone else's. Nothing special about it. In my opinion.

And, yes, I do love myself a little F21. There is always so much to look at though, that I get a little overwhelmed in the stores. I spend way too much time just sorting through their overstuffed racks.

Lady Gaga sure covers her face a LOT. It's probably because she's just not that cute. Just sayin'...

LOL! *pats you on the head* I'm glad someone is excited. I always hold my breath and think, "Crap. What if no one comments on this?"

The Leanne Marshall collection totally looks like everyone else's. I know she ranted a bit on her blog about not being able to make it as "unique" because of price points, but yeah I don't know. Christian Siriano didn't seem to have that same problem with his. I'm not sure how Leanne is going to thrive in the mass market. I think she feels safest on Etsy, and it shows.

(And that's fine, her Etsy work is awesome, but uhhh...yeah.)

I just wonder how in the heck you BREATHE in that mask. HOW DO YOU BREATHE?!?!?!?!? LADY GA GA! DO YOU NOT NEED AIR LIKE THE REST OF US?!

Hi Chloe,
You look fabulous!
OT, but have you received the tracy reese peplum dress http://chloeconspiracy.blogspot.com/2009/06/min...
I just ordered one this morning and wanted to know if it fits true to size?
Is jcrew sz 0 = tracy reese 0 ?
Thanks a lot!

Chloe · 5 months ago

I did get it! And yup, I'd say it fits pretty true to size- I got it in a 0 and I'm a J Crew 0. The only bad part for me is that I have a huuuuge ribcage so zipping it up around that is a bit tricky...I zip it up and wiggle it on. They tend to fit roomier in the hips and bust, so sizing up to a size 2 would have made it much too big in that area for me!

Did you order the rose one? It's gorgeous and I loooove mine! I need to get it hemmed up!

happylife · 5 months ago

Thats great news !
I bought both Oleander roses and garden flowers :0)
You should post a review on that dress sometime Chloe

You skipped number 8! I love the skinny cow ice cream sandwiches bit I've never seen the strawberry with vanilla wafers ones. Congratulations on the find! I hope you got a few containers.

Chloe · 5 months ago

Hahaha oops, so I did. It's the bleach and cleaning fumes from having to disinfect EVERYTHING in my house, it's getting to my head. Yes, that's it.

1) Giving treats to a dog for going potty is a DANGEROUS thing to do. Hubby and I initially did it with Charlotte to lure her into thinking the potty box was friendly and not a scary plastic bathroom-monster. (Did I mention she uses a litter box? - yeah we are an INSIDE dog...) She started using the box, but then expected the treat. Sometimes she would even get in there, do the SMALLEST PEE EVER and then hop out and stare, STARE and STARE you down until you gave her a cookie. :::shudders::: I still have nightmares over her cookie-stare-of-death.

So we thought, ok, this has got to come to an end. We cut her off.

Let's just say our plan BACKFIRED. Not only did she absolutely refuse to go in the potty box without a cookie, but she took REVENGE on the patio rug (RIP patio rug), the kitchen area rug, the bathmat, ... it was gruesome.

:::cries:::: I still miss that patio rug...

Chloe · 5 months ago

Hahahahhahahahahahaha. Why are little dogs so difficult to potty train? Petunia also does the fake-out when she goes outside. It's funny because Husband hasn't quite caught on yet so he takes her right back inside after (and then she'll go inside in the house somewhere 10 minutes later, eek!). I'm on to her, so I stand outside and when she goes I say, "Is that all Petunia?" and she'll look at me, turn around, and go right back into the grass. :D

Let's just say that I won't be doing anything productive until after Nanette makes her divine appearance on Gilt. You want a motion filed? Nope, ain't gonna happen. We're out of food? Dreams of Ms. Lepore's Cherry Pie Dress will sustain me.

Chloe · 5 months ago

LOL!

The only thing left from the Spring/Summer line that I want to get my hot little hands on is the Trellis corset in the teal/taupe stripe. I want it so bad, so bad. If I can find that sucker I will be SO happy. I've been stalking Saks and Neiman's online for it, hoping one day my size will pop up...but I think I'm S.O.L. :(

I hope the Gilt sale isn't like the Rue La La sale, which was MEH.

christina_endofbeans · 5 months ago

Me too! I've got my fingers crossed for the "Very Cherry" dress.

tiffany · 5 months ago

I'm glad Petunia is feeling better. I'll take a strawberry scented dog any day. Ours, as other dachshund owners have decided and agreed upon, smell like corn chips.

That top looks WAY better on you than it does on the website.

Julia · 5 months ago

Oh my goodness the Lady Gaga mask!! What?! How did she fit her eyelashes in there?

I also love skinny cow ice cream sandwiches...and the low calorie aspect just allows you to have 2 or 3 or whatever's necessary without feeling guilty!

Myblondereality · 5 months ago

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!! Thanks for the alert about NP on Gilt! Now we'll be battling for the same sizes..... but you are a quick little one, I better set my alarm..... MUUUUUUWAAAAHHHHHAAAAAA!


Sorry about that!

Sinny Cows rock. I make Jer carry them in just about every flavor that is made. Delish.

Jenny · 5 months ago

Just started reading your blog and I love it so much! Your writing is so entertaining and I love everything that you wear. I generally don't comment on blogs but you just seem so sweet and real that I wanted to show my support :) Keep up the bloggin girl and update often please!

gigiofca · 5 months ago

The Leanne Marshall stuff is so uninspired. Jeez. Love your F21 top!

freckles chick · 5 months ago

HA! You are AWESOME. Further proof that we need to hang out, b/c I do the bouncy dance too. The employees at my grocery store just give me the weird "side-eye" and ignore me.

Ohhh, poor 'Tunia! Hiro sends thoughts of solid, healthy poops her way.

OMG! Poor little firecracker dog. I prefer animals over some people but is it cruel of me that I laughed really hard at that vid? Then replayed it <strike>three times</strike> so I could laugh again?

freckles chick · 5 months ago

Oh HELL. My "strike through" didn't work. LOL! You know what I meant, right?

patty · 5 months ago

speaking of ice cream...what's up with cold stone not having black cherries anymore?! The only reason I went there was for the cake batter ice cream with black cherries! I'm totally going to try these ice cream sammies that you speak so highly of. They make you skinny, is that the deal?

ahem. anywho....

oh, be warned, I'll soon be posting about a home hair dying mishap that could, potentially, rival yours. *shudders*

patty · 5 months ago

Dyeing, I mean. Because my hair is still alive. *crosses fingers*

ABiggerCloset · 5 months ago

Hope Petunia gets better and better now and that she doesn't get tired of her strawberry flavored meds. Keep pumping those treats in her! :) Ice-cream sandwiches...oh no, you enabler you! Now I'm off to raid my freezer for chocolate soy ice-cream sandwiches. OK, not exactly the same as your decadent ones but it will do to hit the spot. And I want that F21 top but WTF? It's not available in Canada! Arggg.
