Some of you posted or emailed us about scheduling an appointment with Diana, our resident hair expert. Presumably for a hair cut or color, as you could just email us any questions you have for her. If you're interested in getting your hair done by her.And we know we have said it before, but we have never, ever had a better haircut. Diana's a great girl to have around, but she is the most phenomenal hairstylist we've ever met.

We've had two haircuts by her in the last couple months, and we've never felt better. She managed to tame a lifelong cowlick into behaving all the time; she understood our laziness and worked with it (we actually had to buy a blowdryer because the one we have was made in 1984); and best of all, we showed her a bunch of pictures and she took the time to ask what we liked about each one! So, for everyone in the Philadelphia/Lehigh Valley area who need a haircut, email us! We love Diana, and you will too!

We recently decided to pay for a nice gym. At this nice gym, we have cardio machines with their own LCD/tv screens, complete with headphone jack so we don't have to hear the ESPN newscast all around us. There's something to be said for working out to 'The Simpsons'. This new, fancy gym also has a lovely, large locker room - and, most importantly, a full schedule of spinning classes. We are new to spinning, though not new to riding our bike. But while we can keep up a decent pace on our bike, we were not, in any way, prepared for spinning. We, generally, do not sweat a whole lot. We can usually rinse off quickly and be on our way. After spinning, we were positively dripping. It was rather filthy.

But, we felt great and we are really excited to go back (especially after eating a rather insane amount of stuffing this weekend). However, this time we are prepared. We are absolutely wearing our cycling shorts. We are, without a doubt, bringing a hand towel with us to wipe sweat off us and the bike - we even purchased two towels just for this. And we are absolutely bringing our newest purchase, the Bliss Sinkside Six Pack, with us. Sure, we could've gone to Target and picked up random, travel size things and tossed them into our gym bag. But that wouldn't have been nearly as much fun. And it wouldn't be even close to a treat. We know working out is good for us, but honestly, getting sweaty at 6am is a lot easier to stomach when we have something to look forward to afterwards.

Plus, we've found that the lemon-sage products from Bliss smell exactly like Lemon Pledge, and that is probably our favorite smell of all time. It's actually a pretty good deal, and it'd make a great gift for that random present you always end up having to give. And, it's a really nice way to end a rather grueling hour. We love Bliss, but can rarely justify the cost. This little six pack is like the samples you get from Starbucks - it's enough to do the trick, and let you make an educated decision about buying the real deal.

As we write this, it's snowing. We, in fact, had a whole other post started but when it started to snow, we realized that staying warm in crap weather is more important to us than most other things.

We hate being cold. We are cold all the time. We are cold in the winter, cold in the air conditioned summers. We generally wear some kind of cardigan - be it of the sweater or sweatshirt variety - on any given day. At our desk, we keep a bright blue wool sweater that we wear over everything, including other sweaters. We do not discriminate. We have found the only way we can be warm is a combination of sweat pants, a sweat shirt, a tank top and/or t-shirt, a down (or equally heavy) blanket covering us from the ribs down, and a large, warm dog sleeping on our feet. This is exactly how we are right now. Since that's not so conducive to doing things like, oh, leaving the house, here are our cold weather picks:

Our first choice is this jacket from North Face. We never really bought into the hype of North Face, it was always just kind of like the puffiest of puffy coats. But we recently bought the Gotham Jacket and we love it. It's warm as can be, it's got zip pockets (even an internal one which is the best thing ever), and the hood comes down far enough to shield your face when it's snowing and raining and nature is basically spitting on your face. It's pricey, but we don't know anyone who has a North Face coat who doesn't love it.

Gotham Jacket, $198.99

Our mom always said that we should wear a hat because all the heat escapes that way. We didn't believe her, until we moved to city and started walking. And then we had winter without heat (because of our deadbeat landlord, not because we didn't pay the bill). Hats, especially those lined with something, are where it's at. We can't tell if we feel completely ridiculous or secretly cool in a bomber hat, but we don't care. There are tons of styles out there, but we like this one because the fur isn't real. We feel we should pause for a moment to note two things; we are unsure if the North Face jacket has fake or real fur. We were told it was fake at the time of non-refundable purchase. And second, we are not implying that anyone should buy fake fur because we prefer it - everyone is entitled to their opinion. There are things we do our best not to do - like eat hot dogs - but that doesn't mean we won't come to the barbecue and eat all your potato salad. Anyway. We love hats lined with fuzzy materials, and we like that this one isn't over the top.

Bomber Hat with Faux Fur, $39.50

We're still really into bright blue, and we can only imagine that this scarf would be warm. We have a few that are similar, and they're the kind of thing we don't take off all day long.

Cashmere Scarf, $55

Juicy Couture has seriously impressed me this year and their current knitwear collection really is to die for. Every piece is right on trend (babydoll cardigans, pocket tunics, cowl necks, stripes), beautifully cut and of high quality. Cameron Diaz looks absolutely stunning in this preppy stripe cardigan [$278] available in cream, black and beige. If you get the chance to see this in real life take a good look at the buttons - they are gorgeous!

Browsing Aldo Online I came across this white metal watch currently on sale for £24.95 (FREE shipping too!). It reminds me a lot of the highly coveted Chanel J12 watch which retails for more than 100 times the price of this Aldo find. The photo of the Aldo watch isn't so clear but I imagine in real life the band is just as chunky and bright white looking as the J12. The two row diamond (ok, cubic zirconia) rim gives a very similar effect to the J12, especially from afar. It's a shame the Aldo version doesn't have the sharp black numbering to the face which I love about the J12 - this really is my dream watch. Dream being the operative word...only in my dreams would I ever own this.

he most recent issue of UK mens' magazine FHM has just hit the shelves, with Hilary Duff as this month's cover girl. Yes the shoot is sexy but it is definitely not what I'd expect from a magazine which usually displays topless shots. I wonder if FHM readers felt a little cheated to open the magazine and find Hilary very much fully clothed? The shots are tasteful, demure and wouldn't look out of place in ladies fashion mags such as Glamour or Instyle. The mini cropped leather biker jacket is right on trend and is a look that appears in the Kate Moss for Topshop collection. Good for you Hilary for not selling out and getting your kit off for money. What a great role model for young girls - this is one celebrity you won't see falling over drunk or photographed minus underwear.

Kate Winslet attended the 16th Annual Bafta/LA Cunard Britannia Awards (now, that was a mouthful) a couple of days ago in Hollywood wearing a controversial dress.


This obviously wasn't a 'safe' choice. When presented with photographs like this I sometimes wonder what the intention behind the outfit was. Do celebrities wear off-the-wall outfits purely to cause controversy and ultimately column inches or are they simply exploring their own style and pushing the boundaries?

I'm not sure the metallic finish and texture of the gown sits well with the classic (almost frumpy) shape. I love the super-wide black patent belt (a must-have for your wardrobe) but not with this dress. The belt is too 'now' to be teamed with a shape of dress that is 'not now'. It's a bit like eating ketchup with ice cream...they just don't go well together.

Generally speaking, we should be kept in a bubble.We have mentioned before how insanely clumsy we are. We fall down standing still, we'll tip over at random. We will completely drop everything in our hands for no apparent reason at all. Earlier this week, even, we almost choked on toothpaste AND fell off the treadmill in two separate events! Most things we own should also be bubblefied, or at least siliconed or bumpered SOMEHOW, as they will inevitably go careening towards the floor at some point in time.

Today was no exception. We had an eye doctor appointment this morning (all went well), so we got to work late. Which means we missed day 3 of our running schedule. And today is Friday, and we leave work early on Fridays. At 4:00pm. So we could've run after work, but during lunch was preferable. What's the point of leaving early if you suck up that time on the treadmill? And hey, it was only 20 minutes. So, come lunchtime, we gather up our clothes and toddle downstairs to the gym. We go in, look around quick to make sure a treadmill is available, and we go to the locker room to get changed.

We emerge, 5 minutes, 3 shirt changes, and a couple discouraged looks in the mirror later. WE ARE READY TO RUN. We have our sneakers, our iPod, our ponytail. We are on the the treadmill. We're moving. Oh, what's that we see? Is that our Exec. VP who is so fit it's questionable if he's actually human? It IS! It IS!

ExecVP looks at us and smiles in a friendly way. He really is a lovely man.
'Hi ExecVP!', we say and wave. And by wave, we mean raise our arm, get our hand stuck in our headphone cord, and manage to ROCKET our iPod across the room.

We stopped the treadmill, got off, retrieved our iPod and just looked straight ahead for the rest of our run.

Thankfully we have a nice hardcase on our iPod so it doesn't get all jacked when we are clumsy. It's still good as new, believe it or not.

And, we have learned our lesson. No more running at lunchtime.

iSee iPod case, $15.02 - it should be noted this the closest we could find online to the one we have. And it appears this one may not be compatible with all models.

Happy weekend, everyone!

Moschino Cheap and Chic made The Giraffe their fashion inspiration for Spring 2007. There were giraffe print tops and shoes and leggings and giraffe brooches and giraffe dresses. It's really cute and refreshing and the humour kept it from being an overkill.

This is a fashion nightmare, but the giraffe is so adorable, it makes me smile.

Check out the giraffe brooch!

This is my favourite piece. A giraffe print dress - so whimsical and fun. I would love that on a top/dress/bag.

This is made out of materials used throughout the show. And strangely enough, it does not look ridiculous. Oh and can you spot the giraffe spots material?
