Baby, it’s cold outside. Grab your mittens (pictured, Burberry Shearling @ Neiman Marcus) and head on out! In honor of this glorious weekend that seems to be slipping by ever so quickly, I decided to let you in on a little secret, the "Damn-the-Snow" – this delicious concoction even has a little o.j. to help keep those winter sniffles away!
Previously: "Thirsty: Whispers of the Forest Nymph."
Via Lauren Cerand, of the wonderfully fabulous LuxLotus:
Four Jobs I've Had: Spa receptionist, Auditing department intern, Professional Celebration specialist (aka party animal), event planner.
Four Movies I Can Watch Over and Over: Rize, Grey Gardens, Wedding Crashers, Anchorman. Honorable mention: Boondock Saints.
Four Places I've Lived: the 'burbs surrounding DC, New York – short but oh so sweet, Upstate New York, and…I’ve got nothing.
Four TV Shows I Love: Arrested Development, Grey’s Anatomy, 7th Heaven, Miami Ink. Honorable mention: Dog the Bounty Hunter.
Four Places I've Vacationed: Bethany Beach (MD), Chicago, San Francisco, Mexico.
Four of My Favorites Dishes: Sweet sticky rice and mango, fried plantains, Honey BBQ wings, and last but not least an intoxicatingly delicious “bodacious burger” from Big Peckers at the beach.
Four Sites I Visit Daily: Facebook, LuxLotus, Style.com, Weather.com - as a fair warning of the “wintry-mix” or thunder-snow that will undoubtedly be unleashed as I head to my 9 o’clock class.
Four Underrated Conversational Topics: The politics of Greek Life at an undeniable nerd factory, Global Warming, the amazing ridiculousness of lyrics in songs such as Laffy Taffy, Saturday morning cartoons.
Plus one that I’m adding – Four Books I can read every day for the rest of my life and still be entertained: Great Gatsby, Catcher in the Rye, Things Fall Apart, Bright Lights Big City.
Honorable mention: Class: A Guide Through the American Status System and The Official Preppy Handbook.
As I sit here watching Grey Gardens for the millionth time, I ponder what life would be like in a world where feeding wild raccoons Wonderbread while wearing a mink is totally the norm. I just can’t get enough Little Edie. For those of you who share this admiration for the “fashion icon and philosopher queen,” check out the musical now showing in NYC!

My most recent obsession: Pandora charm bracelets. They are amazing. The charms screw on to the smooth bracelet, rather than the traditional ones that need to be soldered onto a chain link bracelet – it’s so easy! The charms are available in silver or gold, and they range from owls to eight balls. My favorite newest edition: dice for good luck.
I recently received a wonderful surprise from my brother and sister – a gorgeous Maya Brenner Malachite necklace from Girlshop. This beautiful, deep green stone is said to provide the wearer with harmony, serenity, knowledge, and patience, among many other things – what more could one ask for?
