I already have my two front teeth, teeth that sort of resemble a beaver's, so without wishing for Invisalign, I narrowed down my wishlist to the following:

Feel bad for my boyfriend? Don't. 

What's on your wishlist?

A young DJ that shall remain nameless borrowed the house keys of my boyfriend and lost the round ball screw. Normally a lost, silly key ring wouldn't be a big deal but this key ring had a bit of sentiment attached to it as it was the first gift I gave him… because I am so sweet. 

 Yes, everything can be replaced, especially Tiffany's since they carry the classics forever. Still I didn't want to have to get him a new key ring so I thought that it would be possible to buy an extra ball but they surprised me… I called and inquired about the extra hardware and the salesclerk insisted I come in and they would replace it… drum roll please… for free!!! I have only visited the Tiffany's at the Westfield Century City, since it is very close to my place of work and torture.

They sure live up to their modus operandi of making a girl's dream come true… or just saving me from having to get him a new key ring with less sentimental value. 

According to the personality test I took earlier today, I demand organization and structure. This probably deems me inappropriate to shop at a store like Nordstrom Rack; which has opened its doors next to Beverly Center earlier this year. Even so the lure of discount designer clothes and shoes, calls my name.

Maybe it was the day I went but the store was flooded with loud-mouthed women on cellular phones that wished the entire world to know they were speaking to someone. I went directly to the Contemporary department, which is small. The store itself is undersized and carries less merchandise than I expected. The handbag and jewelry department is very small and the costume jewelry was dominated by Betsey Johnson pieces

I saved the best for last - the shoe department. Although I found a diamond in the rough: a pair of patent blue Jimmy Choo's, I was still gloomy as I walked the shoe isle. This Rack compared to Scottsdale's Rack and Off Sak's was second-rate - very unorganized, less merchandise and lower-end merchandise.

Is it worth the time and the patience?

In my opinion, NO. Even with a pair of Choo's, it is not likely I will go back. I would suggest though, to sign up with their mailing list. Found here. Here you can set alerts for the merchandise you want. So if they receive a pair of designer shoes in your size, you are alerted and if not, they leave you alone… I signed up over 4 weeks ago with specific details on when they should contact me and nothing yet…

Much to the dismay or pleasure of friends and acquaintances, I have never been a bra-wearing woman. Once I started to work in professional environments, I reluctantly went and bought a couple of bras from Victoria Secret, department stores, even Target to shield my nipples from being seen.

Recently, bras have become a part of an outfit - blame it on Carrie Bradshaw for wearing bras with beautiful gowns. It seems unholy to me but that doesn't stop me from falling into line and desiring a nice lacy bra that if I so desired, I could show to the world.

Agent Provocateur's ads are alluring as hell and since I am highly attracted to striking women in bras or without, I ventured into their boutique on Melrose.

I must have really weird sized breasts because it was almost impossible to fit me in a bra that wasn’t too pointy, wasn't too big or too small. The saleswoman was so kind and remained so even after I had tried on about twenty bras. I finally did find a wireless black lace bra with matching panties. Although I certainly would not shop here often, since the price tag is quite high for something I hardly wear (and haven't yet) - A woman deserves a set of over-priced lingerie. With Christmas around the corner and this ridiculous ad below, how could one stay away from Agent Provocateur?!
