Confessions of a Shopaholic -behind the scenes

i am so glad that they have actually started shooting my other much awaited movie of the year (the other one is sex and the city movie). Isla Fisher really fits the role of Rebecca Bloomwood to a T.  below are some of the behind the scenes photos.

Starbucks card

for us starbucks lovers, there's a new convenient way of paying for our starbucks addiction in the form of this starbucks card. it works just like a prepaid card where all you have to do is load it instore or online and voila, everytime you go to your nearest branch all you have to do is present it to pay for you purchase. you have to keep tab of your balance though or else you risk getting embarassed paying with it when it's empty.
i learned about it when i was in their bond street branch in central london and i saw the card displayed on the shelf. i asked and the barista told me how it works. i loved the idea because i really hate bringing cash with me. i always use my mastercard or ATM debit card to pay for my purchases from groceries to cinema tickets to train tickets and even as little as buying newspapers. they are so handy and i don't have to waste my time counting all the loose change. it's just so inconvenient that not all starbucks stores accept cards. well, not yet. so that makes this starbucks card an instant hit with me. i got one right away and had it loaded with the minimum amount of £5. so everytime i have my frapuccino craving, i can always get one even if i don't have change with me or worse, if they don't accept mastercards.
        talking about my mocha frapuccino cravings, i have found an alternative to it now that winter is here. i mean, i still love it but i don't really want to have a cold drink when it's freezing. i'm just too glad that i discovered starbucks new hazelnut latte. it's my current favorite now. i never really liked capuccinos as an alternative to frapuccinos but this milky coffee concoction called latte is just the perfect substitute for me and i love especially the hazelnut flavored ones. if i can have it everyday i will do so but sadly i have to keep an eye on my caffeine intake.

Heidi Klum for accesorize

Heidi Klum for Accessorize

Dec 14, '07 1:34 PM for everyone

great news for heidi klum fans (like me). she has teamed up with accessorize and has designed some wonderful accessories for them. i'm loving the cocktail ring collection which is in fashion right now, although i have read somewhere that cocktail rings are here to stay. i love how these oversized funky rings would jazz up an outfit. just a simple skinny jeans, white fitted shirt, ballet pumps and an oversized cocktail ring and you're good to go. i have only bought a couple so far but i hope my little collection will grow in time. i just looove accessories and Accessorize for that matter. i don't have to spend a fortune just to get the must-have accessory this season.

The Hills, my new fave show

that's right, i have a new favorite show in The Hills on MTV. i started to watch this show only because of the casts' wonderful outfits and the nice soundtrack but then you tend to get hooked on what happens to the "characters". i put a quotation mark on characters because they are actually real people as The Hills is a reality show which MTV is famous for with the likes of The Newlyweds (jessica simpson and nick lachey) and The Osbournes. the only difference is that the casts of this show are totally unknown people who were plucked from obscurity. the MTV crew follows lauren conrad, a socialite in hollywood and her friends as they live their fabulous lives in lalaland (L.A.).  they are in season 3 now and their wardrobes are just getting fabulous by the episode. it's on MTV every sunday at 8:30pm with regular reruns at MTV channel.

autumn jog and walk

we had a great start of the day on saturday. we decided to go out for a walk (jog for me). it was officially autumn what with the changing colors of the environment. the leaves have all turned golden. it was a mild november day as well and we were able to jog and walk for at least 4 miles. but i think we defeated the purpose because halfway through, we dropped by at my favorite cafe and had their lovely mouthwatering chocolate and hazelnut pastry with a cup of capuccino and hot chocolate. it was a wondeful morning and i think (hoped) i've burned at least 200 calories. which is great!

my glazed addiction

"whoever invented glazed is a genius" - miranda (sex and the city)
i had my krispy kreme (original glazed) fix last sunday after a very long time. krispy kreme is not allowed in my south beach diet obviously and i have been very good with my eating habits that i thought of treating myself. but i think i went overboard and had 2 doughnuts in one sitting and that's a total of 650 calories! but i wasn't worried .in fact, i bought two dozens of these wondeful doughnuts.
arriving home, i thought that these doughnuts won't go away unless i eat them or give them to friends (sonny is not a krispy kreme fan). so i did the latter and by doing that i hit two birds with one stone. i saved on calories and i made my friends happy.
