Catch up!

Hey,

Well Amy if you see this before I talk to you next ... I am booking the tickets today so I will see you in two weeks time! It only takes 50 minutes to fly to Christchurch from Queenstown which is awesome considering it take like 6-7 hours in the car!

I was doing some ELuxury and Neiman Marcus browsing the other day (as you do) and I saw some v.cute things check them out...

Thought the were quite nice! (Top to Bottom: Tod's Jutta Ballerina Flats, Burberry Plaid Floppy Hat, Dior Western Denim Ballerina Flats, Louis Vuitton Patent Leather Coquine Thong and Burberry Check Driving Cap!)

I am also preparing to raise some Clinique funds for coming up to Christchurch since there is no Clinique counter down here which is a disaster!

Okay well I am off to make some cupcakes!

See you later gator!

The Weekly Update






I can't believe a whole week has gone since the last time I did this but since its Friday I'm guessing it is true. I don't think much has been happening this week. Lots of cleaning and tidying. The snow is slowly coming off the mountains which is a bad sign for all snow-bunnies. I have to admit I haven't been checking out all the usual blogs much this week so I attend to catch up today!

Preppy Item of the Week: Lacoste Touch of Pink Perfume (although not Preppy it just screams " wear me with a polo shirt" - loves it!)



Non-Preppy Item of the Week: Chanel Cambon Flats

Beauty Product of the Week: Bloom Lip Tint (I love mine its lovely and smooth and sheer!)

Magazine of the Week: Vogue Living

Celeb of the Week: This week Celeb of the Week goes to Miss Paris Hilton - personally I am a really big fan (most of the time) of Miss Hilton but I loved these pictures of her I think she looks really nice. Miss Hilton sports, pigtails with bows, a blue and white shirt and a cute skirt and a Chanel necklace!

The monthly update from Amy......!

Hiya Rach!
Wow... It's been pretty much forever since I've managed to put an update on the blog, but after talking to you last night, I felt VERY obliged to make the effort to crawl out of bed (with crutches in tow) for a wee trip to the computer. (I've been rather bed ridden with a stunning red brace running from my ankle to mid thigh - dislocated knee).
However, my lack of interest in anything bar pain killers has lead to viewing my entire dvd collection... and deciding this collection is really in dire need of updating!
I found this very mint site... Fred Flaire - with LOADS of supa cute kitch things from stationary to nightware! Here goes my fav picks!... Im going on a blue theme....

MARY-JANE FLATS.... with doughnuts!

BAG - How cute is this squirrel tote?!

SHOPPING NOTEBOOK.... A great way to stay focused when shopping!

All from me for now, missing you lots!

Kisses... Mwah mwah

Two Cows

Socialism: You have 2 cows and you give one to your neighbour.
Communism: You have 2 cows; the Government takes both and gives you some milk.
Fascism: You have 2 cows; the Government takes both and sells you some milk.
Naziism: You have 2 cows; the Government takes both and shoots you.
Bureaucratism: You have 2 cows; the Government takes both, shoots one, milks the other and throws the milk away.
Traditional Capitalism: You have 2 cows. You sell one and buy a bull. Your herd multiplies, and the economy grows. You sell them and retire on the income.
American Corporation: You have 2 cows. You sell one, and force the other to produce the milk of four cows. Later, you hire a consultant to analyse why the cow dropped dead.
French Corporation: You have 2 cows. You go on strike because you want three cows.
Japanese Corporation: You have 2 cows. You redesign them so they are one-tenth the size of an ordinary cow and produce twenty times the milk. You then create a clever cow cartoon image called Cowkimon and market them Worldwide.
German Corporation: You have 2 cows. You reengineer them so they live for 100 years, eat once a month, and milk themselves.
British Corporation: You have 2 cows. Both are mad.
Italian Corporation: You have 2 cows, but you don't know where they are. You break for lunch. Russian Corporation: You have 2 cows. You count them and learn you have five cows. You count them again and learn you have 42 cows. You count them again and learn you have 2 cows. You stop counting cows and open another bottle of vodka.
Swiss Corporation: You have 5000 cows. None of which belong to you. You charge others for storing them.
Chinese Corporation: You have 2 cows. You have 300 people milking them. You claim full employment, high bovine productivity, and arrest the newsman who reported the numbers.
Iraqi Corporation: Everyone thinks you have lots of cows. You tell them that you have none. No one believes you and they bomb your ass. You still have no cows, but at least now you are part of a Democracy.......
Irish Corporation; you have two cows. You ask for an EU subsidy for your failed breeding programme.
Milton Keynes Council; you have two cows and no concrete leads on who stole the others.
Dublin Aviary; you have two black cows and a broken perch
Counter Culture: 'Wow, dig it, like there's these 2 cows, man, grazing in the hemp field. You gotta have some of this milk!'
Surrealism: You have two giraffes. The government requires you to take harmonica lessons. Fatalist: You have 2 doomed cows...
Hong Kong Capitalism: You have 2 cows. You sell 3 of them to your publicly listed company, using letters of credit opened by your brother-in-law at the bank, then execute a debt/equity swap with an associated general offer so that you get all 4 cows back, with a tax deduction for keeping 5 cows. The milk rights of 6 cows are transferred via a Panamanian intermediary to a Cayman Islands company secretly owned by the majority shareholder, who sells the rights to all 7 cows' milk back to the listed company and proceeds from the sale are deferred. The annual report says that the company owns 8 cows, with an option on one more. Meanwhile, you kill the 2 cows because the feng shui is bad.
New Zealand Corporation: You have 2 cows. That one on the left is kinda cute
Indian Corporation: You have 2 cows. You worship them.
Australian Corporation: You have 2 cows. Business seems pretty good. You close the office and go down the pub to celebrate.
I thought this was very clever I found it at NZ Varsity!
