Sometimes, on a day so gloomy as today on the island, the best thing you can do is nothing at all- With weather conducive to, well, nothing at all what is a girl to do on a Saturday afternoon- my plans to spend the day at the new standard hotel ice rink ice skating and fondueing (a new verb I think I can make catch on) it up were sadly ruined, and not even could I force myself to thrift store shop for a new chair for my living room in this unacceptable weather.
But when all else fails, I like to think it’s a sign that I should catch up on all the things we procrastinate from doing, even if it does take a rainy day to get there.
Read

Currently I am reading Room by Emma Donoghue—Sure, I’m supposed to finish 150 pages by tomorrow night’s book club, but if this rain keeps up, I should have no problem and will be ready set go for a good abbreviated chat over cheese and wine.
Shop
I myself have repeatedly admitted my naivety regarding the internet, including my new foray into the blogoshpere, which I already feel right at home in, but with such a abundance of deals, steals, fashion websites, fashion blogs, fashion search engines, etc at our fingertips, sometimes there is such a thing, as too much of a good thing.

For amazing dresses, trends and stylish ideas at really reasonable prices, spend an hour on asos.com, which is currently offering 20% of new purchases, and free shipping.
I remember when I followed this website in college, when it was simply a site that sold fashion in the similar style to UK celebrities and it’s amazing how far it’s come, if having just launched it’s US version is any indication. Check out the site to begin your envious spring wardrobe….

Or Just GO OUT
As night approaches, we’re left with the age ol question- to go out or not to go out tonight, that is the question… Are we gonna let a little rainfall cancel all our facebook invited Sat night birthday parties that we have, either by merit, or by default of being friends with a friend… Or in the name of wasted money,and foreshadowed colds should you just know when it’s not your night…
It’s still to early to tell what my night will hold, but either way, at least I did something today
