Eid Mubarak! For some, Eid ul Fitr, the first day of the Islamic lunar month of Shawwal which is meant to be a celebration of a month of fasting, was today. For some, like my family, Eid ul Fitr will be tomorrow (Wednesday). Saudi Arabia celebrated today, as did Qatar and Chile. Some in the [...]

NOT a Business Casual Superstar #432: Can someone please explain to me what the heck I think I’m wearing?
Posted in Business Casual Superstar, tagged General on August 26, 2011 | 3 Comments »
Because if someone could, I’d be much obliged and quite grateful. Because I … I really don’t know what’s happening here, here in the third grade. :| Guys. :| Although I have to say, I love my little shoes. Printed shoes, yellow socks, pale blue jeans with little stars on them, red top, red belt, [...]
No one lets me watch The Simpsons anymore
Posted in Coffee, Tea, Me on August 24, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
Here’s the deal. I have like 8 seasons of the Simpsons. The box sets sit by my TV and whenever I’m happy or sad or bored or sick I pop in a disc and sit down and enjoy. My brother is sick of the Simpsons (he NEVER wants to watch them), and my parents hate [...]
Bear with me, folks.

It’s the last ten days of Ramadan, which means I am BUSY. And getting very little sleep. And of an annoyingly cheerful disposition. This also means that posting will be light this week. LIGHT. I’ll be lucky if I can get my posts up at Heave and the Working Wardrobe this week. If I do, [...]
The Boontown Hit and a Culture of Victimhood
Posted in Islam/Culture on August 19, 2011 | 2 Comments »
I wanted to blog about this. Yesterday, there was a story about a young Pakistani woman who was gunned down while on a post-Iftar walk in suburban Boontown with her husband and three year old son. Her husband was shot (non-fatal wound) and the child was unharmed. Today, we’re learning that the husband was arrested [...]
Business Casual Superstar #431: Biz Bargains: Free Shipping at the Limited Today Only! No Minimum!
Posted in Business Casual Superstar, tagged One Day Deals, Sales and Coupons on August 18, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
Normally when I post free shipping offers, I have to add the annoying caveat, “…But only if you spend $2,000 and buy something made of baby seals and also hop three times and kneel before Zod! THEN you get your precious free shipping!” But not today, folks. Not today. Because today only, the Limited, which [...]
Business Casual Superstar #430: One Day Deals: 5 carat gemstone studs
Posted in Business Casual Superstar, tagged Accessories, One Day Deals on August 18, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
I share gemstone stud earrings occasionally, and today you’ll get even more of them for your buck. I don’t really like them, personally, and I don’t generally favor studs anyway, except in a crap-I-need-to-stick-something-on-in-order-to-keep-my-piercings-open-otherwise-I’ll-have-to-get-them-done-again sense. But I feel like these would be great for the young-ish girl in our lives who has just discovered jewelry [...]

Business Casual Superstar #428: Inspired by Dr. Sheldon Cooper (Jim Parsons, “The Big Bang Theory”)
Posted in Business Casual Superstar, tagged Celebrity Style, Outfits for Men on August 17, 2011 | 1 Comment »
Edit: LOL. Instead of posting a lead-in post and linking to my actual post on Heave, I accidentally copy-pasted the actual post here. That’s why, later, I say ‘be sure to check out my blog,’ … and link right back to this page. :| Sometimes I’m not so smart. … Ugh. The reason I don’t [...]
Business Casual Superstar#427: Biz Bargains: Last Day To Take Advantage of This Offer from Victoria’s Secret!
Posted in Business Casual Superstar, tagged One Day Deals, Sales and Coupons on August 17, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
I’ve talked about Victoria’s Secret on here before. Some of my favorite cardigans are from there, and they’re so pretty and well-made that I still wear them regularly almost three years after having purchased them. And they’ve retained their shape and their color despite frequent wear and washing. One of my favorite coats is from [...]
