Another round of blog tag rings ‘round again. Erika of GlamNest asked me to divulge “Ten Things I Can’t Live Without”…

My video iPod. I’ve got everything on there from sacred Gregorian chants sang by monks to Jay-Z to Linkin Park to Bach to Beyoncé to KT Tunstall.

Jersey dresses. Getting dressed has NEVER been this easy. All I do in the morning is grab one of my many breezy cotton dresses, a fabulous pair of flats (see below), and as many mismatched accessories as I can get my hands on, and I hit the streets of NYC. Easy as that!

Flats. FYI, high heels are not my natural-born forte. While I do own tons of them, I’d rather live my life without corns and bunions. Therefore, flats are my most viable option. Plus, I embrace my height – 5’1” works for me.

My feel good meal. Honey popcorn, french fries, and ice cream (for dinner). It’s truly the diet of champions. Lauren thinks it’s sad that I have no problem eating this for dinner, but I think it’s totally kick ass that I’ve survived this long on “junk” food. Oh well, like they say, one woman’s junk is another woman’s treasure…

Lip balm. Hands down, if I were to be dropped off on a deserted island and could only take one luxury with me, it would be lip balm. Having chapped lips is THE worst feeling I’ve ever experienced. Applying lip balm 74 times a day is a sick, sick addiction. And I love it. No lip balm rehab for me.

Lotion. Second sick addiction. I don’t care where it comes from, who makes it, what it smells like – I HAVE to HAVE lotion. I lube my hands up about 74 times a day as well. As a matter fact, I’ll do double duty. I’ll hydrate my hands and lips at the same time.

Keyboard cleaner. I love it. My keyboard is NEVER dusty. ‘Nuff said.

Forever21 shopping sprees. I’m so over H&M, Urban Outfitters, and dare I say it… Top Shop! Forget Disney World, Forever21 is the happiest place on earth in my book. Where else can you find FIVE totally chic dresses under $100? They don’t last very long, but as much as I like to shop there, I guess it really doesn’t matter. Below are the dresses I’ll be picking up on my next shopping excursion this weekend!

A quarterly vacation. I don’t care if I spend the weekend in Weehawken (New Jersey). Sometimes, I just need a break from the hustle and bustle of Manhattan. Yeah it’s fun to live here, but it’s also mentally AND physically taxing. Plus, it’s nice to get out of the city. EVERY chance I get.

Magazines. Lucky, French Elle, Teen Vogue, Allure, Tatler – I adore them all. True story – when I moved to London for graduate school, my friends helped me downsize. I actually held a funeral for my magazines. There was a eulogy and a burial. One of the saddest days of my life. Anyway, next time I pick up and move overseas, I know to spring for storage.

So there. GLAMChic – you’re turn. Tag, you’re It Darling! Check her blog next Friday to learn ten things Glam’s Fashion Editor can’t live without.
