misosouper, a shopping blog

Shoulda, coulda, woulda:  if I had consulted my prophecy board before I went on vacation, I would have known that bringing two laptops and an iPhone would not be enough; that both (that’s right, both) laptops would die; and that I would have to make a panicked trip to Circuit City to buy their replacement.  (The laptops were old, so the purchase was untimely but overdue.)

In the battle royale between low and high tech, mysterious hoodoo wins every time.

These sweet towels, cleverly folded to resemble dessert (check out Le Viette’s site for pudding, trifles, and more), would be perfect frosting for a tea party, or a children’s soiree.  Your bathroom guests will be so curious that they’ll wash up just to sneak a peek.

A comforting chair for trying times; kit it out with sheepskin and a cup of tea, and you’ve got the ultimate Barcalounger substitute.

My loss is your gain:  because I have the self-flagellating habit of checking the price on objects I’ve already purchased, you can now buy this really flattering navy dress for exactly $48.01 less than I did.  Throw it over a turtleneck and skinny jeans, and jingle all that extra change in your two adorable pockets.

A sentiment which sums up the status of our 401k’s.
