TGIF - let the weekend shopping begin!

hi ladies, it's finally Friday and I cannot wait for the weekend to start. Although I took Wednesday off to go to Baltimore for a red sox game, I still feel tired and drained, b/c I haven't been sleeping very much. This weekend, FINALLY, I don't have to go anywhere. I'm staying put in the house to play with the iMac, laying out by the pool, spend some QT with Daisy, and hosting a small BBQ on Sunday.

So! to keep everyone entertained while I get my lazy ass to start uploading pictures from weeks ago. I thought I'd share 2 shopping websites that have been keeping me entertained at work.



Shop It To Me is NOT a website that sells clothes and accessories. What it does is it compiles a list of all the brands you love from all major online retailers and send the links to u. So it's sort of like a personal shopper, a bargain one at that. Just sign up, select the brands you like, and you can set it to which days to send the links to you. All retailers have good reputation, like Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, etc.

Rue La La is a invitation-only website. They host 2-3 day sales of a specific brand listed at 30% - 60% off. Like today, they had a sale for Fendi and Ferragamo. You can set up alerts to inform you of upcoming events. I believe the stuff they got are more up to date, not all of them are past season stuff, definitely better than Bluefly from what I've heard. Also, I heard their customer service is unbelieveable! They sent customers white tulips just thanking them for doing business with them!

HOWEVER!! the tricky part is you NEED an INVITATION! Luckily for you, yours truly was invited, so now I can invite you all! Simply click "Invited by a member" when you get to the homepage, and enter my email address (stephanie.y.wang@gmail.com) in "Your Friend's Email" box. Viola~ You are in! =) You're welcome.

Enjoy your shopping ladies! It is Friday, you've worked hard all week, time for a little treat!

Baltimore and quick update

hello ladies, sorry for not updating much. i mobile updated with a picture from last night's oreo vs red sox game at baltimore camden yard. i know i spelled oreo wrong, but i don't care cuz they suck. i took off wed. to go to a red sox game in baltimore. seriously, there must be something wrong with me! either that or i love my bf way too much.

the new iMac has been keeping me busy. ladies, i'm not the biggest geek on the block, but OMG I LOVE THIS COMPUTER! have you ever looked at your makeup on a 20inch monitor??!! it's fucking awesome! love it love it love it!

as for the iphone, i have the first generation one, and just bought the 3G in 16GB. i got it just simply b/c the white looks hot. seriously, i don't think the 3G is that much faster and i feel bad for spending so much money. i'm thinking about getting it unlocked and sell it on ebay. i can sell it for $700 and i bought it for $300, that's $400 profit, why not?

a lot of picture filled post coming, i promoise. oh! and i'm going to start making movies on iMovie!! aaahhh.. i can't wait~!

I totally deserved it..

Riz - pls email me with regards to your comment in the "decision decision decision" post
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I rarely rant about H on the blog, for the sake of trying not to embarass him too much in front of a whole bunch of girlies. But last week, he pissed me off so bad, that I contemplated about what tool to severe his penis for hours, let me not even go into details about how satisfying it felt to me. Anyways, long story short, the smart dude tried to make it up to me by buying me a MAC.

Here is a clip of the conversation in the car while driving up to Boston"
H: Let's go shopping this wknd. Let's go to get MAC.
Me thinking *since when did he read the posts that the Cult of Cherry is out already? But oh well, I ain't gonna say no*
Me: Ok. Yea let's go to Wrentham too, I wanna check out CCO.
H: We should definitely get it this wknd b/c we can use your Employee Discount.
Me thinking *the fuck is he talking about? how does he know I have employee invitation only discount at CCO?*
Then it hit me, he meant shopping at Apple! b/c I have company discount on iMAC or iPhone and basically everything Apple sells.
Me: OHHH!! that MAC!

So anyways, I still held a big of grudge from last week and still fought him a bit on Friday night. However, by Sat. afternoon when I heard it's TAX FREE WEEKEND IN BOSTON. The grudge is gone. I felt totally justified to buy the 4th computer in our household. Had to go to a friend's going away party, so no time to shop on sat. But!!! Sunday morning comes, even before breakfast! We went straight to Apple on Boyleton St.

I don't have any pictures yet, b/c I'm still trying to figure out how to turn on my iMac, no jk, I still need to set up everything.. But here is a list of what we bought (for me). lol.
- iMac 20"inch w/ added 2GB RAM.
- iPhone 3G 16GB (white, i love it)
- Case, film for iPhone
- Free HP colored printer (free after $100 rebate)
- iCare on both the MAC and phone
- Home office for iMac
- Nike Sports ear phone for when I'm running
- USB cable for printer

It's about 10 items and we only spent $2000! with the tax free and my company discount, we saved $400!!!! yay~~ I'm so excited! I got home and hooked my iMac up. Man, PC users, if you are still on the fence about a MAC, go get NOW! it's the best thing ever! the screen is huge and so clear. There is a remote control for you when you watch movies/tv. the keyboard is so nice and light. I still don't know how to use any of those application yet, but I've already signed up for a "getting started" class on 5th ave for tmr.

The decision to get a 16GB 3G iPhone is made by H entirely. I never wined about getting a 3G. I did express my curiousity and interest, but I was ok with my old one. Until recently, it just keep on acting up, freezing on me and shit. He must have seen the spark in my eyes when I saw the WHITE 3G, I was all like, OMG... A WHITE ONE! SO CUTE! Yea, so he just threw it in there as a bonus gift. =P

Went to Wrentham and got a Juicy Couture dress, Bobbi Brown metallic e/s in Forest Green and a MAC 187 brush ($42 to $29! what a steal!). nothing too exciting b/c I was too overwhhelmed with my other MAC. lol.

now i am so ready to learn and get used to iMAC. edit my pictures. revamp my website. I'm so excited, I want to just take a day off work and play with my iMac!

i love my H~~~ thanks baby!

decisions, decisions, decisions



update!!! what do you guys think of this red leather gucci bag? my friend's boyfriend's brother (try saying that 3 times) works at gucci and he can get me employee discount, original: $1200, discounted: $510.

my bags are all pretty neutral colored and i've always wanted a red bag, i'm just not sure if a round hand bag is what i want. i hate hand bags b/c i feel like it takes up my free hand and too girly. i'm def. one of those huge shoulder bag kind of girl. but ioono, this could be nice on occasion? def. not gonna be my work horse bag.

my bag quota for the yr is definitely over. i bought a Herve Chapelier 925 the other day as a gym bag. it was $135 with a 30% discount, so almost $100 for a GYM BAG!! but that was my "motivation" gift to myself, plus it is made out heavy duty nylon and made in france. the only thing i hate is every girl and their mother's got one in manhattan, just like the longchamp. argh. I do love how it is so roomy with a square bottom, which is perfect for sneakers. i know it's pink and kinda of immature, but this was their summer color, that's why it was on sale.


--------------------------------------------------------------------
i have a CCO right downstairs from my work, and it's by invitation only, meaning you need to be working in the building in order to shop, they check your work ID and everything. So lucky for me, yours truly is a tenant of the building and thank god they are willing to take my money, b/c i don't know what i would do if they won't take my money, oh the horror!

anyways, their stuff doesn't rotate so often and the MAC counter is just a big ol' shelf with stuff from last holiday collection. HOWEVER! just recently I have been finding out some MSF (light flushed) and blushes (pinch o'peach and blushbaby) on display. Omg, did I tell you guys I bought the Black Ore Solar Bites! yup, they had it on sale~! yippie!

I have been looking for a "i'm not really wearing any blush, and my cheek bone naturally look this defined" blush. i want something that's close to flash color but still gives me definitation. I read up on MUA, that pinch o'peach and blushbaby are 2 of the top rated blushes from MAC. DOES ANY OF YOU GIRLS HAVE THIS BLUSH? WHAT DO YOU THINK? SHOULD i GET IT???

The Wang family is going to Boston this wknd for a friend's going away party. I booked a yoga class and massage at Exhale (my fav. spa in Boston, but the last time I was there was a yr ago, so I needed an update on their services). Also, I hope we get to drop by Wrentham to pick up a few pieces for Vegas!

Ciao bellas! next week should be a better week for more updates. I've been lazy. Forgive me.

Hump day pick-me-up

a fabulous article for the poop heads. Read up!

I ran 2.27 miles yesterday and I'm going to a spinning class today. For some reason, I feel kinda anxious. Hopefully it ain't nothing serious.

Happy hump day ladies~

Mommy, I didn't do it

Her never ending infatuation with TP.
