Apple - MacBook with 13.3" Display - White - MB062LL/B

6 people recommended this item

Description

Buy it at MacMall. I bought mine for ~1025 and then subsequently eBay'd all the bundled printer/software/etc for a total profit of ~$100 or so. Then got 4GB RAM for $60. What a deal.

I was a Windows power user and couldn't use Excel without all the keyboard shortcuts. In Mac OS X, I run Windows on VMWare when I really need those Excel shortcuts.

Skinny Cinnamon Dolce Latte

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

I was never a Starbuck's girl ... I preferred Coffee Bean.

I was never a latte girl ... I preferred green tea.

Until ... Starbuck's came out with their "Skinny Latte." Yes I am a sucker for clever marketing tactics, shut up. But seriously, these lattes are delicious. With only 90 calories for a small ( I refuse to call it a "tall") you get all the taste, all the caffeine, all the coolness that is associated with carrying around a paper Starbuck's cup.

I will be gulping these down like a mad woman while I am in NY Fashion Week because I will need the caffeine but I won't need the calories.

BlackBerry 8700g

19 people recommended this item

Description

I have this phone, it is the best thing that's ever happened. Email, web browser, phone, speaker phone and can take a hit. I've dropped it several times. Great batter life and by now it should have come down in price some more ... definately recommend this phone to any professional out there that relies heavily on email. (via Tmobile)

Emergen-C Raspberry - 36 - Packet

First to recommend

3 people recommended this item

Description

Whether I am at work or blogging the night away during fashion week ... I NEED my Emergen-C.

TheDelicious introduced me to these Emergen-C packets. She would chug that powder stuff down with about 3 drops of water and I always looked at her and said "NASTY" until the day she made me drink one. It was gross at first then all of a sudden I was like "hmm, this stuff ain't half bad" Gives me a nice little boost in the middle of the day and its doesn't taste horrible if you chug it. I am now a super fan.

Pepper Pot Business Card Holder

First to recommend

Description

Keep it buy the phone stuffed with the contents of that scary stack of business cards held together with a rubberband in your junk drawer. If they're too important to throw away, you should actually be able to use them.

Moleskine Reporter, Large Plain Notebook

Description

I really like Moleskine notebooks, I mean who doesn't on ThisNext! I have found the reporter style to be particularly useful especially while taking notes and making sketches during Fashion Week.

Jelly Wraps with .05 oz Purell Bottle

First to recommend

3 people recommended this item

Description

New York is a dirty city, a cool city but a dirty city all the same. I am going to be out and about pretty much all day during Fashion Week and when I don't have time to wash my hands you better believe I will be reaching for my Purell. I have the neat little jelly thing too! Hooks right onto my purse.

Airborne- Effervescent Adult Formula, 36Tablets Pink Grapefruit (Bonus Size)

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

I don't travel without Airborne! There are so many skanky diseases floating around in airplanes and I can't take the risk of not looking fabulous when I arrive at my destination. The pink grapefruit flavor is the best one. You can drink it without gagging, heck you can even drink it and say "mmm"

Chanel Blue Satin Nailpolish

First to recommend

15 people recommended this item

Description

**Update**

I now own this nail polish and I LOVE it. In some nights it looks black and others blue. I have heard that Chanel nail polish chips easily but that isn't true for me. I gave myself a manicure with Blue Satin and it lasted for almost week, which is HUGE for me ... usually my nail polish chips after only one day.

Buy this nail polish while you still can!

********

Forget about black satin, its all about Chanel blue satin. Its already sold out on pre-order (neimanmarcus.com) so you better get ready to sell your soul to the devil to get a bottle because chances are it isn't going to happen. Good luck.

Color will be released Jan. 2008.

Canon PowerShot SD1000 7.1MP Digital Elph Camera with 3x Optical Zoom (Silver)

10 people recommended this item

Description

*Update-

I now own this fabulous camera! It takes AWESOME pictures and its really easy to use. I have to say that I haven't used any of the fancy power shot features but my regular photos have never looked better.

*****
Don't you just love speedy shipping? My parents sent me this camera for my birthday (which in a 6 days) and it came early!!! Woo hoo. I was actually too tired to test it out last night when I got home but you better believe I am going to crack it open tonight.

I asked for this camera because thedelicous owns it and she always takes the best pictures. I am sure the fact that she is a good photographer has something to do with it ... but still the camera helps too. Can't wait to test mine out.
