Blogger Bits & Bobs

There is a 10 car pile-up when it come to me and ideas for blog posts. Seriously. I have to pace myself on publishing, so when I paste bits and pieces together for a post, I'm a bit disappointed, because this is valuable real estate for my many bloggy brain storms. But some days call for a Cold Duck approach to posting, filled with odds and ends of time sensitive information.

The term Cold Duck, many of you may recognize as a type of sparkling wine. Originally it stemmed from a German tradition of combining bottles of unfinished wine with champagne.  Celebratory but frugal: that's my kind of living. And ladies, ladies, and one gentleman: today is Cold Duck Time.

Bella joins the 21st century with her first foray in the latest technology from Apple

 Sparkling in my hand, like a tasty glass of bubbly is my shiny new iPhone. I am such a Luddite, that this is such a novelty for me. My cell phone was so old, people were remarking on how cute and quaint it was! I'd get comments like the following all the time: "I remember when I had a phone like that." And the feeling I got was that they thought I was sportin' it to be retro and ironic. Well, I just upgraded, and got the fancy-smancy phone of my dreams, and can't wait to start tweeting and snapping photos with it. Oh, yeah, and taking phone calls. So call me already!

Life is GOOD! Kristy Elena gives mention in WWD

Over coffee, while checking in on Twitter, I discovered that Kristy Elena mentioned my blog, among others in her interview with WWD. 

Ok. The fact I get mentioned in the same breath as GRIT AND GLAMOUR, and BRYANBOY, is amazing enough. The fact that it happens over at WWD, makes it all the more incredible. REALLY? How awesome is this for a small independent fashion blogger from Sacramento? (Answer: PRETTY FUCKING AWESOME!)

Cut to the chase: "Eléna counts The Citizen Rosebud, Bryanboy (also one of the Full Time Fabulous judges), Grit and Glamour and Fashion Toast as her favorite blogs."
