Her Side: This is a perfect accessory for the angry paper jockey (office job - cubicle people). Keep your boss from comin’ round your department by letting him know you mean business. But if you’re not a paper jockey… (more…) Read more:ldquo

My Favorite Blog 2007-05-04 14:20:55
Some of the Fab things you can find on Shopmycloset.blogspot.com
Her Side:
BY FAR.. it is my FAVORITE blog.
It gives me insider tips on sample sales… and they also sell articles of clothing right out of their OWN CLOSETS!.. hence their name. haha.
The clothes are always fairly priced.. and in fabulous condition - (i’d know, I buy lots of things from them!)
They even post up shoes, and accessories!!!!

Miuro 2007-05-03 22:53:51
Her side: I saw this… and i was like “oooooo shiny.” I’m not a specs reading kinda person.. so i watched the video. The bad boy dances… has sensors so he doesn’t bump or fall …. and has a remote.. so you can send him into a room to blast music while your roomie, sister, mother etc are sleeping. He even plays the music off your computer if you don’t have an ipod.. or left the ipod in your car. MeWanty!
His Side: We saw this bad boy first at engadget.com. The Miuro, the newest iPod dock by Japanese company ZMP puts a new spin on the docks that we Americans are used to seeing in Target. Your iPod is inserted into this 14″ long device, and the little guy plays your tunes through twin Kenwood speakers located in his wheels. He can also receive info wirelessly from your computer from iTunes, internet radio , etc. Wicked cool! He lights up and dances to the beat at the click of a button on your remote too. Probably better than I d

Lightning brooch”, 33AUD
Left: “Silver Mirror Puzzle Piece earrings” , 22AUD Right: “Come Fly with Me Duo brooch”, 33AUD
Featured Accessories by: Made By White
Her Side: I guess I’ve sort of been on an accessory binge - really what I mean is that since both of us are too poor, I’ve done a lot of the “look but don’t touch” type of shopping lately. Fantastic. But if I money and had to pick one thing to get … i’d get those wonderful Silver Mirror Puzzle Stud Earrings. They’re unlike any other pair i’ve ever seen.
His Side: <listen, nod, swipe, smile> …the accessory buying rule for bf’s the world over. These designer earrings are made from perspex (translation: acrylic glass), by Designer Made By White, whose personal page/store you can find here. They catch your eye, which is i

These T’s are from Delias and they’re having a buy one get one 1/2 off sale
His Side: All these cool tees are cotton and ON SALE! Sales are great for the gf AND the bf. We might whine about it for a while when you squeel for glee and run into your favorite store in the mall…but inside we are sighing for relief. Sales are good for our wallets AND make the gf happy.

Featured Earrings from Designer: A Planet 4 Creation
Her Side: Recently, I’ve found wonderful designers and designs at etsy.com - a website where handmade goodies thrive… but to be fair… I decided to look at other directories for other things handmade… and I’m really happy I did because I found artist: “A planet 4 creation” (more…)
“I wanna take you down to Kokomo” 2007-05-06 19:14:10
Her Side: Everything about this bag reminds of a sunset… sand colored accents, the pins of a polka dotted sun and white bird. The red is so vibrant.. dress it up.. or dress it down, this bag would look great with any outfit. Me likey! ~ and aren’t you glad? it’s not another tote (for any first time reader… i <3 totes and always post them up)
His Side: Ya know…for the longest time (and by longest time, I mean until right this minute) I thought the line of the Kokomo song that goes: &rdquo
; To Martinique, that Monserrat mystique” ACTUALLY said &ldquo
;to Martinique I want a rotten steak”.
As a kid, I was always like…why the heck do the beach boys want rotten steak? Thank you google and whoever posted those lyrics. Now I know that I have been a fool for 26years.
Oh, the bag is nice. Designed by 31 Corn Lane.
Her Verdict:<3 <3 <3 <3
His Verdict: At least its not a tote for a change. Read more:wanna
Guilt Free Ice Cream 2007-05-06 14:46:16
Her Side: This is a spin on the old ice cream maker. Instead of standing there and watching the ice cream churn around, you can burn off those calories buy tossing, passing, kicking this ball around until the ice cream is done.
His Side: Everybody loves ice cream. This is a great treat for your kids…or just for the big kid in you. My mom and sister, when I was a kid, always used to eat their ice cream with a fork. When I asked them about it, they told me that when you ate it with a fork, the calories could fall out of the bottom.
It wasn’t until I was a little older that I realized that they used the forks to tunnel through the ice cream to take out all the good bits (like cookie dough).<sigh> I don’t think I have ever eaten ice cream that had not been tunneled through.
Her Verdict:<3 <3 <3
His Verdict: Making ice cream is always a great time. Hide the forks. Read more:Cream
MMMM… bacon 2007-05-05 19:10:33
$3.99
Her Side: I don’t really know what to say actually. But I mean.. bacon bandages.. and a free toy for $3.99? I’m there!
His Homer’s Side: Homer –> “Bacon up that sausage, boy.” or my favorite: ” Move over eggs, bacon just got a new best friend&hellip
;. fudge!” Apparently Rachel Ray promo’ed these on one of her shows. See, girls like bacon too!
Her Verdict:
The USB Strikes Back 2007-05-05 14:59:22
Her Side: Here at whatmygirlfriendwants… we have no shame of our flamboyant overt geekiness. and to prove that… we’ve found Star Wars Flashdrives. Somewhere out there… someone’s significant other has dressed like Chewbacca or fashioned a poorly constructed R2D2 costume out of a trashcan…or maybe gouged out an eye with a homemade light saber (ie. a flashlight)… Give one of these to a bf… in hopes that you may never have to hear “Luke… cshhhhhhhh.. i am your father” imitation.. ever… again. <hangs head>
His Side: This GEEKERIFIC toys come in memory sizes from 1GB to 4GB and range in price from 64.99-149.95. Kind of expensive…but in the boring world of USB flashdrives, these are the kings of the realm!
Her Verdict: <3 <3 <3- expensive! ~ BUT worth it for a true fan!
His Verdict: <geeky drool>…and wait? expensive she says? what about the 300dollars shoes?!
not a fan Read more:Strikes
Buddha-licious 2007-05-05 01:46:37
Her Side: these book ends just made me laugh. It’s always nice that something can make you smile.. even when your up to your eyes in paper work.. or lecture notes.
His Side: These are designed to do something that the Buddha
would whole-heartedly endorse: organization of your desk. Why you ask? Organization brings peace of mind. Peace of mind brings one closer to spiritual enlightenment. Spiritual enlightenment unifies your soul with the world. And there ya go..pretty soon, Herman Hesse will be writing a book about you! (note: this is a nerd reference to Siddhartha, Herman Hesse’s classic novel about the life of the Buddha)
Either that, or your boss just won’t kill you for losing your TPS report.
Her Verdict: <3 <3 <3 - it’s hard to match it to a house, unless you have one of those zen home design things going on.
His Verdict: Made of rubber and 30dollars = cool if you have extra cash to blow.
Metal Garden Factory 2007-05-08 14:08:56
Left: Frosty Strawberry Blossom Earrings, $38;
Right:Aqua Blue Lotus Blossom Earrings $45
Her Side: Browsing through Etsy is my new hobby. My other new hobby is “borrowing” the bf’s credit card - WHAT? it’s not MY fault he’s in the shower and is unavailable to see the purchase price! if he wasn’t so stinky… he wouldn’t have to shower so long. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it! … yet I digress..
I LOVE these earrings. It’s metal, but still so delicate. These are earrings that you can wear all year round. I’ve been on a dangle earring phase lately… but she also designs post/stud style earrings (see below)… which is a style I’ve always been attracted to - but usually they are of the gem variety
Black Poppy Post Earrings - $30
His Side: These earrings are from the Etsy store, MetalGardenFactory
, by designer Nicole Savoy. She is from upstate NY orginally…Buffalo to be ex
Summer Snugglin’ 2007-05-07 18:23:05
Her Side:This blanket might be a little on the pink side…but if you watch Peter Pan closely.. you KNOW that Tinkerbell has some spunk to her. This comforter is big enough to envelop you in magic until you wake up on the late morning. (Its a full/queen size) - and is much better snuggle material than the bf (non smelly, non prickly, non sticky, non sweaty, non farty snuggling)
ALSO!.. its 50% OFF!!!!! It’s ONLY $29.98 - that’s an AWESOME deal for ANY type of comforter.
His Side: Cotton-polysester blend. Tinkerbell would be proud of how soft her comforter is with that blend of fabrics. Word of advice for guys: don’t fight the pink. The last place you want to argue about decorations is in your bedroom. The more comfortable she is, the more comfortable everyone is.
Her Verdict: <3 <3 <3 <3
His Verdict: Maybe we will be able to fly after we buy this? Read more:Summer
If Snow White was here now… 2007-05-07 14:02:14
SALE SALE SALE!!!!! - $16.98
Her Side:This summer hoodie reminds me of Snow White
. Pink fem colors, with the green of nature. It even has those trademark snow white puff sleeves. Yet its still modern enough for today with this thick pink waist band, oversized hood and extra long drawstrings. Think.. gangsta snow white. lol!
His Side: Ya know. Gangsta snow white exactly describes the gf. Well done, hot topic, well done. 100% Cotton and NOT preshrunk&hellip
;so be careful guys, washing this bad boy after you buy it. If you don’t you will have to give it to one of the dwarves instead of your snow white. And you will get kicked in the shin.
Her Verdict:<3 <3 <3 <3
His Verdict: on sale and perfect for the gf sounds great. Read more:Snow White
Gun Ruler 2007-05-10 22:05:10
Her Side: Everytime you forget to carry that 1 in math.. a kitten dies… I think this ruler makes that message pretty clear. Plus it can make it through those pesky metal detectors.
His Side: This is way more bad @ss than the ruler I made when I was a kid. I hot glued a ruler on the end of my pencil as my entry into the first grade science fair. My reasoning: why add on your own when you have a ruler there to count for you.
Suprisingly, I did not win any prizes.
Her Verdict: <3 <3 - a little bulkier than a normal ruler, but a spiffy convo piece while your not paying attention in math class.
His Verdict: 3 six-shooters of glory. Read more:Ruler
Cowstick 2007-05-10 18:05:02
$14.27 From Atypyk
Her Side: Moo Moo… thats right people.. these are cow spot decals.Put the on your fridge for a fanciful and fun fridge. Stainless steel is in.. but by be “in” when you can be AWESOME! When people decor their house, they forget the fridge and insult it with hideous 99 cent magnets. FOR SHAME people!… shame shame shame. haha.
His Side: All I have to say is “where’s the beef?”
Her Verdict: <3 <3 <3
His Verdict: four Juicy T bones of goodness.
Good luck! 2007-05-10 14:14:06
Loft party: $6
Her Side: Big test today… so I’m sending out a big ol’ MAZEL TOV to all my friends for the Pathophysiology test. (no i’m not hebrew/jewish)… which is why this is SO FUNNY! Who says you always have to say “Goodluck!” when you hope someone the best. Say it loud.. say it proud.. Mazel Tov!
His Side: Its nice to see that loft party is multicultural and unbiased in their candlery offerings.
Her Verdict: <3 <3 <3 <3
His Verdict: When 8 crazy nights just aren’t enough.
Back to Nature 2007-05-15 14:00:16
Left: Beach Treasure Necklace
Right: Seashore Charm Necklace
Her Side: “in” accessories right now seem to revolve around a mother nature theme. Leaves, shells, natural beads, wood, copper, stone - they’re all in! Trends on sale are always nice, so I found some fanciful necklaces from Urbanoutfitters for $9.99 ~ Enjoy
Something to think about: it’s not always about the flashy clothes or the trendy clothes … take an ordinary outfit to new levels by dressing it up with different accessories, belts and fantastic shoes.
(PROOF: at dinner, my friend was telling me published secrets of getting into a Class A club: it’s all about the shoes and bag - you’re slammin outfit won’t get you in without fanstastic accessories.)
His Side: Somehow, I don’t think that trick works for guys….but if your gf has what it takes (and she is nice enough not to leave your geeky butt standing outside the club) maybe you
SSSSSSlammin’ Bag 2007-05-15 01:41:11
Iris Python Stripe Bag - $48
Her Side: This animal friendly bag is so sss-sssexy. Faux python patterning, with constrasting braided handle, it is the perfect summer tote that will hold lots and still look fantastic with your outfit. Dress it up, dress it down, dress it punk, dress it prep - i think it would look great with any style you’re trying to achieve.
His Side: Ya know. This is kind of sleek. Well done, gf - well done. The fabric is pvc, its fully lined and seems to be pretty tough in construction. This bad boy should be wiped clean only…if you buy it, don’t be that bf. You know, the one that tries to do something nice, but isn’t really paying attention and washes things that should not be washed (or dryed). Never be that guy.
Her Verdict: <3 <3 <3
Her Verdict: 4 pythons of sleek sexy gf fashion.
Still Life Glamour 2007-05-12 18:21:24
to see more details click here
Her Side:Lustrious Ethnic fabric, Peacock Embroidery. Pictures are a work of art, but sometimes its all about the frame. I particularly LOVE the deep red with hints of gold coloring.
His Side: In the world of frames, most everything has already been done. Especially as a guy, all the frames I see pretty much look the same these days. These on the other hand, are cool. Rayon fabric, cardboard backing, and hand-stitched abroad (not sure where from).
Oh… and don’t forget, guys…many cultures view peacock as an aphrodisiac - even if it is their meat they are talking about. (Note: do not talk about peacock meat when giving your girlfriend these frames)
Her Verdict: <3 <3 <3 <3
His Verdict: 5 strutting peacocks in mating season of coolness.
Lighting for a Rainy Day 2007-05-12 13:57:34
$3.99
+
$10.99
Her Side:Urban Outfitters has some parasol’s onsale that are designed to brighten your rainy day… or even just one of those BLAH days. The light coming through detailed paper designs makes the room glow. To me.. its the perfect decorative and lighting addition to a room.
His Side: Upside down cocktail umbrella? Sweeeeeet. I would check the grade of the umbrella material to make sure that it can handle the heat from whatever lightbulb you choose to install.
Her Verdict: <3 <3 <3 <3
His Verdict: Great addition to any entertainment area. Read more:Lighting

What Your Boyfriend Wants - Sam Adams He Ain’t 2007-05-17 18:40:04
His Side: Well damn…this is EXACTLY what I was looking for. The Beer Machine is a self-contained brewery and bottling machine…every guy’s hobby dream come true. Well, unless you get a hold of an old Shelby to rebuild…but, hey, is that ever really gonna happen?
How it works: the entire contraption is self-contained. You add ingredients from either mixes they provide or your own recipes ….and let the whole thing sit for 7-10 days as the brewing process happens. THEN (because they are geniuses), the beer is transferred through high-grade tubing to the reusable bottles they provide, without ever touching the impure air in your “brewery” (translation: garage). No smells, no messes. All you need is to photoshop up some labels for your bottles and you’re all set!
Downside: $132.00…but is that really to much to pay to make you bf happy and keep him out of your hair for hours on end?

Because Waking Up Is Hard To Do 2007-05-16 18:18:11
Her Side: Glow-y things are nostalgic to me. Glow in the dark stars, those cheesy necklaces.. and ALL the COOL 8th grade parties had black lights. That’s why i like this alarm clock - brings me back to my deceptively tranquil roll around days. sigh.
A touch sensitive … sensor allows you to activate a colored Blue or green LED underneath the clock! Beam me up Scotty.
His Side: These are a decorative and functional addition to anyones apartment, guys or girls. They have a touch sensitive LED and large readout clock…for those hungover mornings when your eyes won’t open past a squint. Good times…good times.
Available in blue and green colors.
Her Verdict: <3 <3 <3 <3
His Verdict: what can I say…she has an alarm clock fetish. Probably because she goes through so many…let me tell ya, waking up is NOT her favorite thing. Ask the alarm clock graveyard behind our place.
do do dooo [insert mario theme song] do do 2007-05-16 13:36:47
Mario and Luigi phone straps from: ThinkGeek Electronics, $3.99
Her Side: You gotta love anything Mario. Since girls love dangly bits on their phone.. this is perfect! I’m a nerd and proud of it…. oh yea its INTERACTIVE..uh huh.. thats right. Pull on the string and things pop in and out! oooo ahhhhh.
His Side: Mario rules…girls and guys alike think Mario is the man. If your gf is an old school Nintendo fan, these are a great little “thinking of you gift” that you can give…just because you care. They are animated too, and perform different actions when you pull on their thread.
Oh…you can’t pick which one you want. They are Japanese capsule toys, kinda like our gumball machine toys, and are randomly packaged. Surprises are always a good time.
Her Verdict: <3 <3 <3 <3
His Verdict: 4 super mushrooms of goomba stomping fun!
