"Getting to Know This Kaboodler" Q&A from ilykthx's rockin' blogazine post...
Personal Stuffs:
How tall are you?
5’6”
What is your shoe size?
9 - 9 ½
What color is your hair?
Brown, but I like to change it up pretty frequently. Have dyed it blonde, black, red, and blue in the past. ;)
What is your ethnicity?
Caucasian
Where do you live?
Sunnyvale, CA (San Francisco Bay Area)
Style:
What is your favorite online shopping website?
Y’all probably already know how smitten I am with Kaboodle. ;)
As far as favorite sites to buy from, I have way too many to list. I guess my absolute fave would have to be Etsy.
How would you describe your style?
Eclectic – I like all sorts of styles. Most of the time I like to keep it simple and casual.
What's your favorite shoe style?
Heels FTW. Though I’ve recently picked up both flats and flip flops (I guess I’m now a true Californian).
K Lists:
Which list would you say you add to the most?
My Jewelry list gets the most lovin’ these days. My Dresses and Household lists are a close second and third.
Which of your lists is your personal favorite?
Pimp My Cube, Latest Obsession: Pink, and Eclectic are at the top of the list right now. For My Kaboodle Peeps also holds a special place in my heart.
What is your one pet peeve in lists?
I can’t view them with ease on my iPhone (all in good time, folks! ☺)
What do you always make sure to do with your lists?
When I’m placing an order online I always search my lists to make sure I haven’t forgotten about anything else I’ve had my eye on from that store. Sometimes I add small-ticket items to my lists that I can’t quite justify shipping charges on… if something else pops up from that site that I can’t live without, my lists help me remember the smaller stuff.
Every time I get home from shopping at local stores, I go online and search for the things I’ve found and/or bought to add to my lists. Recently I bought a pair of shoes from Nordies, came home, added them to my list, and found that the price online was considerably less—I ended up getting a refund for the difference. Pretty handy. ;)
Favorites:
What is your favorite food?
I love Tapas, French-Vietnamese Fusion and pretty much all Asian food.
What is your favorite drink?
Mostly a water type o’ gal—I’m nary without a bottle handy. On the adult beverage side, I’m rather fond of sangria, Jack n’ Ginger, Pimm’s Cup and Caipirinias.
What is your favorite color?
I mostly wear black, grey, and neutrals, but I always wear ridiculously loud and colorful accessories (mostly pink, purple, and teal).
What is your favorite dessert?
I love me some pie.
5 Random Facts
1. I’m a midwestern transplant (grew up in Michigan and lived in Chicagoland for 5-6 years). I moved out to California to work for Kaboodle a few years ago and absolutely love it.
2. I have insatiable wanderlust. There are few things I love doing more than buying plane tickets. Wherever I go, I always try to carve out time during my trips to explore local boutiques.
3. I’m a non-practicing jewelry maker. I would love a place to set up a torch and an anvil and go to town.
4. I'm addicted to beauty products. My monthly Sephora spend is kind of obscene.
5. I heart the intarweb. Big time. I have to schedule time-outs from my iPhone.
What is your current Lust-Have?
I’m fighting the temptation to splurge on a phonophone II for my new(ish) apartment…

Howdy, all! I need your help...
I picked up this cute Susana Monaco strapless dress in midnight (navy) last weekend and I need a shrug/cardigan to wear with it. I'm thinking cropped, since it has an empire waistline.
Any ideas?

Urban Outfitters is now carrying the Every Cloud print on stretched canvas by Lucas & Haley. Pretty nifty version, I must say. Bummer that it's twice as expensive as the standard print from Keep Calm Gallery. All the same, it's available stateside and will live on my wall in the very near future.
Urban is getting faster at picking up little-known gems and mass-distributing them. Given my hipster proclivities this makes me hurt a little, deep down inside. But my adult sensibilities are jumping with joy.
