Yikes guys, just where did the month go…how are we already at the last Friday of the month! I am pretty sure September is going to go by equally fast. But enough with the cliché “2013 is flying” talk & let’s focus on the present while we can. With that in mind, here are some of my favorites from the week:
- I came across Reason Clothing‘s printed cheeky parody t-shirts when I was in London & couldn’t help but laugh. As much as I love to wear designer labels, I equally appreciate a fashionista with a good sense of humor. It was a toss-up between the Chanel No. 1 No1 Cares At All & Hermès Homiès but I went with the latter…. the t-shirt’s obnoxiously neon pink color won me over.
- My inspiration definitely heightened this week after seeing Jobs, the biopic on Steve Jobs & bringing Apple to life. Three words: what.a.legend! It’s so crazy to think that despite starting off in his parents’ garage and actually getting fired from Apple at one point, Steve did exactly what he intended: he put a “ding” in the universe.
- For the sake of my sanity, I embarked on a one-day laptop detox on Sunday and stayed away from it for a majority of the day. I attempted to read Pride & Prejudice but that wasn’t happening so I switched to something lighter: Revenge Wears Prada. While it’s by no means a literary piece of work, I’m enjoying it as much as the first one Devil Wears Prada.
- If you follow K Weigh on Facebook chances are you hard about our latest plan: The K Weigh Wedding Shedding Plan:
It is an extension on K Weigh’s basic underlying principle: achieving results through sustainable changes to both diet & lifestyle. Because we understand that certain events like weddings motivate us to take drastic action for immediate results, we have introduced a more controlled, yet balanced, plan. Rather than encourage you to starve yourself into your dress/ saree blouse, The K Weigh Wedding Shedding Plan focuses on eating real, unprocessed foods, which will naturally help you beat the bloat. Whether you are getting married or attending a wedding, this plan might just be what you’re looking for :)!
What are you currently reading?
What’s your favorite brand?
Haha – I love the “Chanel No. 1 Cares At All” tshirt!!!
I am currently reading “Mr Maybe” a chic lit novel by one of my fav’s – Jane Green
Then am onto the first City of Bones novel.
My favorite brand is Kemps (Frozen Yogurt) and Reeses and Trader Joe’s … wait ican TJ’s be considered a brand?
Happy Friday! Hope you have a GREAT weekend!
I love Jane Green- I’ll have to check Mr Maybe out! Did you read her book Jemima J?
YES!!!!
Loved it!
Except for the last 3 books she released (Promises to Keep, Another Piece of my heart, & Family Pictures) I have read and reread them all! (Mr. Maybe is a reread)!
Do you like Jennifer Weiner? She writes in a very similar style to J.G.
Ooh I don’t think I’ve read any of her books- will have to check them out!
Looking forward to start the the ‘wedding shedding’ plan from tomorrow! Just in time before all the wedding hopping begins:) Revenge Wears Prada sounds like the perfect Sunday afternon read – must borrow from you once you’re done. Have a great weekend KT!
I can’t wait to hear your Wedding Shedding feedback :)! Will give you book to read when I’m done with it!
I have no idea what the heck is happening to the time either. On the one hand, July kind of feels like it was forever ago, but on the other, I have no idea where August went. Ahh well… Just that much closer to Christmas
And I’m actually not really reading much of anything right now. I’ve been doing a lot of studying, so most of my books have been nutrition related.
Happy Friday, lady!!
Blog reading counts too
I love those t-shirts!!! A few years back I bought the guys singlet version which had Chanel and underneath it it said hollywho.
Currently I am reading this amazing book, its called Strategic management- a competitive advantage approach concepts and cases, 14th edition. I highly recommend it, especially if you have trouble sleeping.
By the way, the inner marketing nerd in me LOVES your design for the wedding weight loss initiative- RSVP dates and all! Have a great weekend buddy!
Ah thank you so much Arman- this was a fun image to play around with & design
I totally want to see Jobs. This guy really is fascinating!
And staying away from the computer for a day just feels so good, right? Reading just is the best alternative. Happy Friday!
As much as I love technology, stepping back every so often feels wonderful
Not everything we read has to be a literary masterpiece.
I really enjoyed The Devil Wears Prada, so I’ll have to read the sequel once I finish the Game of Thrones series. I’m on book 4 right now!
Did you ever watch the movie? Every time I pick up the sequel to read, I only have images of Anne Hathway!
ah i just finished revenge wears prada on my trip not bad light easy read mindless love those the best!
I couldn’t agree more- I read to switch off, not to fry my brain further
Love those shirts. I am currently not reading anything but need to make another trip to the library soon. Good luck with K weigh’s new project
Happy Friday dear
Thanks Dixya…have a great weekend too
I read 4 books while we were in India! Definitely check out The Husband’s Secret and Divergent. Happy weekend, K!!
Thanks for the recommendations. The title “The Husband’s Secret” already has be intrigued
omg i love those t shirts! so funny! i want one! and i neeeed to see the jobs biopic. i cant believe i still havent. and this post reminds i really need to start a new book. its been a month or two since my last one, which is rare for me to go so long. i think its because i now read blogs
i do need to start a new book soon though!
Pshh who needs books (or magazines) when you got blawgs ;)!
I didn’t realize there was a sequel to Devil Wears Prada out! Must find ASAP. I just finished reading ‘Insurgent’ so that goes to show you how super-advanced and academic my reading is sometimes :-p
I’ve heard great reviews on “Insurgent”- would you recommend?
Those shirts are adorable! Love them both.
That shirt is pretty fantastic, ummm need
Although wonderful classics are great and all, sometimes I need some chick lit to enjoy and escape reality from. So I very much concur on your choice!
Glad we on the same wavelength ;)!
It’s a good thing that I don’t read else I’d have NO TIME with blogging and working. I don’t know how ppl do it all. Favorite brands, so many… for clothes – Zara, Mango, and JCrew.
I have to see the Steve Jobs documentary, it’s on Netflix these days.
Although a lot of people seem to have not enjoyed it, I’d still recommend Jobs
Ah! Those t-shirts are hilarious! Good pick
I love the pink!
Thanks Liz
Good to know you like “Revenge Wears Prada” as I brought it with me here to London. I haven’t read it yet…trying to catch up with work (and blogs!) but I am excited to give it a try.
My favorite designer? I am not loyal to one particular brand but I do love just about everything Bloomingdale’s has to offer….
Blogs are the new books
I’m currently reading your blog! Also the latest edition of Eating Well and the most recent Maeve Binachy. I like The Devil Wears Prada so I’ll have to check out its counterpart. Thanks for sharing.
Two thumbs up on your current reading
I loved Revenge Wears Prada! Currently reading The Cuckoo’s Calling by JK Rowling – amazing! I want to see Jobs, hopefully will soon..And my favorite brand is most definitely Zara for high street, and for designer wear, you can never go wrong with classic Chanel
Chanel is the godfather of brands
