You know I mean Sophie Kinsella’s Confessions of a Shopaholic
, of course- the book series that truly understands how some girls, present company included, have a hard time hiding their love of all things shopping.
With the world economy being what it is, however, I have to admit that I was a little wary of the new film based on the first book of the series. Would the subject matter be in poor taste, in these days when even Vogue is publishing lists of “gifts below $10″?
Turns out, I had nothing to worry about: the film – like the book- is fun, smartly done, and most importantly, entertaining. As I sat through the movie, watching the adorable Isla Fisher being adorable, I forgot about my own- er- shopaholicness. Some things were over the top, yes, but the book prepared me for that. I’m looking forward to the sequel(s) now.
Did you see Confessions of a Shopaholic? What did you think?
Ooh yes, it’s 2009- and while things have been quiet here at Something Stylish, I assure you it’s for very good reason: we’re ready to roll out quite a lot of new features, change some things around, and all in all give you a better Something Stylish, more appropriate for the new year and what style really means in this somewhat crazy economy.
Happy New Year, all- hope you had lovely, stylish Holidays!
Malcolm Venable at HamptonRoads.com posts how to vote in style today. Here are some of his tips:
- It might rain, so take an umbrella. Bring a raincoat. Wear waterproof shoes if you have them. Dress warm. Bring an extra sweater, and socks.
- If you have one of those cane/seat doohickies, or some other type of easily portable folding chair, now’s the time to whip her out. Sitting on the wet ground doesn’t sound like my idea of a party, but hey, if you like it, I love it.
Whatever you do, DO NOT LEAVE WITHOUT VOTING. The minute you even consider it, remember that people in this country made great sacrifices, including their own lives, so that they and others might have the right to vote, and that people in many other countries around the world would do anything for that ability. Don’t disrespect that by leaving because you’re bored or tired or cold or wet.

Not many people know that I was an English Literature major in College; even fewer know that I almost chose to be a History major. It was a subject that always fascinated me, and I was especially enamored with the ancient Greeks and Romans.
It should come as no surprise, then, that I’ve chosen to write about Ancient Assets, an online store that sells ancient coin jewelry. That I love jewelry is obvious- I sometimes feel like every other post on this site features jewelry. Naturally, jewelry that contains a bit of history in every piece is so me.
