Fashion Friday: Easing Back into Wearing Work...
I just started an intern/ trainee job at an online commerce company and I am back to the office atmosphere (yay!). You know that I love working at an office and having a set schedule.
However, my much outdated wardrobe is not as psyched. I haven’t worked full time in two years and needless to say I haven’t had the chance or ability to purchase new office wear items. However, in the past I have...

Tumblr Giveaway: Trophee Des Champions Ticket
Hello guys!
My first time doing this on the tumblr but thought it was a good way to make some new like-minded friends. I just won tickets to the match between Montpellier and Olympique Lyonnais this Saturday at the Red Bull Stadium (NJ) and would like to see if anyone wants to take the extra?

TV Review: The Borgias by Neil Jordan
This is a really interesting treat from an experienced filmmaker, sponsored by the U.S. Showtime network. A ten-part series (only 9 in the first installment), it starts off slowly and works itself into a masterful climax via some intense build up. All episodes are written, and some are also directed, by Irish filmmaker Neil Jordan, who is the series creator.
Series 1

Book Review: A Dance With Dragons, by GRRM
Or as one fan called it: ‘Crouching Lion, Hidden Dragon’…
Long Post Alert!
Finally posting some general notes on aDwD which was a novel that arrived with high expectations. It is tough for fans to wait for 6 years for the next part, especially when most fantasy and urban fantasy books arrive every or every other year. (I jumped in later so I cannot say I’ve waited 6...
