My bag is due for replacement, and Sandra Bullock’s from Two Week’s Notice looks pretty nifty.

Want: Computer dressing room programme
Some days it feels like I am just blindly grabbing into my closet, and dragging out the closest thing I find. Those are the days I envy Cher from Clueless and her amazing wardrobe solution.
Rewatching Bones season four
After the disaster that was season 3’s overall storyline, and Zach Addy ended in a mental hospital. Dr. Brennan was in need of a replacement lab assistant. Bones – Season 4 is all about testing out her best grad students, in addition to resolving the cases that crop up. Favourite quote “Well that’s like me… Continue reading Rewatching Bones season four
