"My opinion of punchmonk falls itt"

haha, shucks.

Hmmmm....Was it the birth control talk, my sense of style, wanting to be Minka's secret santa or combinations of all? I won't try to win respect back, I promise. I have already laid claim to being far less than ideal.

I am so excited about what I got for christmas. 15 months of kickboxing, my Frye boots, and this bag:


Diva won't like the bag at least.

12/3/2012 1:32:17 PM

my honey got these for me as my Christmas gift

12/3/2012 1:49:23 PM

why won't Diva like the bag?

I hate when people make assumptions about me

I actually love the bag...now what?

[Edited on December 3, 2012 at 2:51 PM. Reason : even if it's fossil]

12/3/2012 2:44:22 PM

It being a fossil bag was the reasoning. I thought you might like the style.

12/3/2012 3:30:23 PM

It's a good shape...the leather color is a little iffy, but all in all a great shape

^^^^where are those from? I LOVE them

12/3/2012 4:21:19 PM

I came across this couple-months-old pic of Mindy Kaling today. I just LOVE that dress! And she's rocking it with her figure. Anybody recognize it? The brand or anything? (sorry the pic is so huge, I couldn't find a smaller one)

pad for the run

12/3/2012 6:44:30 PM

ladies, help me out. need to pick out a good hair straightener for a christmas gift.

this one is the #1 seller on amazon and on sale for $39.99. is the list price ($299) really that high?
http://www.amazon.com/HSI-Styler-Ceramic-Tourmaline-Straightener/dp/B001MA0QY2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1354647437&sr=8-1&keywords=flattening+iron

or should i stick with the CHI, which has been recommended to me as well ($100)

get a CHI. yes they're more expensive. yes they are worth it.

12/4/2012 2:00:52 PM

Update on the coat. I went to Nordstroms at south point and paid way to much for a Hugo Boss coat. I let the hot sales girl talk me into it

12/4/2012 2:05:19 PM

+1 for CHI

12/4/2012 2:06:03 PM

that usually works

12/4/2012 2:07:45 PM

^^I always wondered if your hair is curly or wavy?

[Edited on December 4, 2012 at 2:08 PM. Reason : egy]

12/4/2012 2:07:54 PM

^^^^^how often (from what you know) does she use a straightener?

I know people that are everyday/every other day straightener types, and they all just gab about some CHI.... so it seems that is the most preferred, and possibly superior, device for aligning ones hairs.

[Edited on December 4, 2012 at 2:08 PM. Reason : ^^^^]

12/4/2012 2:08:28 PM

almost daily. CHI it is, thanks!

12/4/2012 2:35:38 PM

bed bath and beyond has them retailing for like $100, plus the standard 20% off coupon. may or may not find a better deal on amazon

but yes, CHI definitely

[Edited on December 4, 2012 at 2:40 PM. Reason : ...]

12/4/2012 2:39:36 PM

I agree. CHI

I'm Krallum and I approved this message.

12/4/2012 2:42:21 PM

^^ahhh perfect. i always forget about the 20% coupons that come in the mail.

12/4/2012 2:52:46 PM

CHI is the way to go if she has thick, wavy hair.

12/4/2012 2:55:04 PM

I use a CHI as well basically on a daily basis

12/4/2012 3:12:21 PM

the chi also works as a good collar iron

12/4/2012 3:14:09 PM

Punchmonk, it was the whole sperm and egg meet and make a baby thing. Its just patently false and a dangerous mindset in these troubled times on the cusp of rescinding women's rights. Who knows how many times egg and sperm met and didnt make a baby in the 9 months you were trying?







On a fun note, I too bought new boots. Im visiting a friend in boston and got the restock notice just in time for them to get here before I leave. Serendipity. Cross your fingers that my legs arent too fat!





And I got a new coach wristlet for 25% off at the macys one day sale. It.exactly matches some gloves and a scarf I got recently.



Im so glad this color is in, I've always loved it

12/4/2012 11:19:11 PM

I would def vote pro-choice.

I found this video because I wanted to see the attachment. I have seen a lot of videos about this but never saw this one. So cool how it looks!

12/4/2012 11:57:38 PM

^^ Love the color of that wristlet!

12/5/2012 7:38:43 AM

Would also recommend a CHI. Use daily. Love it. Had the same one for four years so far, still going strong.

12/5/2012 8:43:25 AM

oh i LOVE that wristlet!

12/5/2012 9:12:14 AM

Lusting over some Ariat Cowboy boots.

12/5/2012 7:49:15 PM

I just got two elomi bras on zulily. So excited to have the correct fitting bra!!!!

12/5/2012 8:19:37 PM

I lost some weight this year, but bizarrely my breasts increased a couple of cup sizes. I got some new bras this week and the difference it makes is just amazing.





You guise, I found the best shampoo an a conditioner in the world. its called Sukésha and its vegan. My hair is so smooth and shiny and tangle-free. I was getting really frustrated with my hair and ready to chop a few inches, but this stuff has changed my whole outlook. Only $10 a bottle at my friends salon! Im totally going to stock up tomorrow. Ive been using the clear wash.

12/5/2012 11:30:53 PM

i got these boots yesterday. found them originally on Nordstrom's website for $250 but did some internet searching and found the same pair on Amazon for $191!

they are so comfy and look great! i'm already a fan!

12/6/2012 1:14:40 PM

^ Love those boots! Good deal, as well.

Just got my new boots yesterday and they're uber comfy. $29 on ideeli, marked down from $90:



This wool jacket comes in today, $24 marked down from $85:

12/6/2012 2:24:27 PM

Picked up these on my lunch break today. Bring on the holiday parties!

12/6/2012 4:50:10 PM

^ pretty!

12/6/2012 5:08:33 PM

do any of you ladies ever buy clothes from http://www.alloy.com?

http://store.alloy.com/item.do?categoryID=2713&itemID=56598&outfitID=2576

i like this dress but i feel like i have ordered from them in the past and felt like i overpaid.

12/6/2012 6:19:23 PM

Oh man!! Alloy brings back memories. I used to order from them when I could fit the clothes in high school.

12/6/2012 6:27:39 PM

I'm really sick, and I have a pretty high fever. And fevers make me feel really hot and weird. I'm not a Friends fan or anything, but I'm reminded of this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0RNrvtqTaE4




And, speaking of clothes for teens, Aeropostale is having a 1/2 off clearance sale so you can get a bunch of basics for super cheap...obviously avoiding the ones that say Aeropostale on them and make you look like a middle schooler. Their sizing is pretty generous since kids today are bigger and all that.

$35-$100

Check it out!

12/7/2012 10:14:56 AM

hello ladies.

any of you get a Birchbox? I think it's something my wife might like. Curious to see if it's worth the $10/month from anybody that does it.

http://www.birchbox.com/

12/7/2012 10:24:41 AM

I read about those monthly product clubs. I, too, am interested to know if they are worth it.

12/7/2012 10:27:07 AM

one of the hair/make up blogs i follow subscribes to birchbox and she always posts the goodies she gets every month. it definitely seems pretty neat - and it seems she gets some cool stuff, especially when birchbox collaborates with a specific brand. do you have to sign up for a year? or is there an option to sign up for a few months and kind of test it out?

12/7/2012 10:55:57 AM

There was an article about them in a magazine in the hair place. They reviewed like 6 companies that do a monthly thing. Google!

12/7/2012 10:59:37 AM

^^ I went ahead and bought a gift subscription for my wife for 3 months at $30. If she hates it, oh well it was only $30.

They offer them in 3, 6, and 12 months.

12/7/2012 11:11:08 AM

that's a good idea! and then after 3 months if she likes it, you can renew it for a whole year

12/7/2012 12:10:37 PM

Birchbox is pretty good, but my favorite is the Popsugar Must Have box. They send you full size products!

And they all have short term subscription options

12/7/2012 12:37:53 PM

Yesterday I got a brazilian for the first time in years.... HOLY SHIT it hurt worse than ever before. My vag is ANGRY.

12/7/2012 2:16:50 PM

Since everyone else has been posting their awesome boots I'm going to have to post mine.




They are not as cute/sexy/fashionable as the others in here, but man they are tough and comfortable.
