Oink Oink… said the BF 2007-03-27 23:53:19
Her Side: QUOTE: ” OMG THAT’S SO CUTE! I WANT IT! &hellip
;. *puppy eyes* but.. but my pens would be SO MUCH MORE EFFICIENT IN THAT BAG!” Only $14.99 from Q Lia!
His Side: “you want everything… ‘more efficient in that bag’ … who says things like that” In case you didn’t figure it out yet…this is a pencil case. It weighs in at a measly 2.2oz and is 7 x 3.5 x 1.75in. Canvas cloth construction for easy cleaning.
Her Verdict: <3<3<3<3<3 Could double as a make-up case!
His Verdict: …”more efficient in that bag”…<mutter,mutter>
Got wood? 2007-03-27 20:45:45
Her Side: I’ve seen sticks of all shapes and sizes… .. memory sticks that is.. rubber duckies..penguins.. well here’s one i think is way better and not as bulky as a rubber ducky. Its a wood USB. I think it’s geek-er-ific! Now you can smuggly smile and say yes when they ask if you got wood in your pocket.
His Side: Man, the puns alone make this bad boy worth the money. USB2.0, 1GB of storage, and all natural woods make this a solid (hahahah, another pun) product. Or, if you have the time (translation: don’t have a girlfriend and read shopping blogs for fun) whittle yourself one and save the money -$99…kind of pricey.
Her Verdict: <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 - functional, unique and a conversation piece.
His Verdict: awesome, but a bit expensive.
I’m Walking On Sunshine 2007-03-27 07:55:32
Her Side:Dolce Vita shoes are always hot. I can think of SO many things to wear with these shoes. And they’re comfy, with a slight heel… translation: look great.. and shop alll day! Imported exclusively for Urban Outfitters and priced at only $78!
His Side: Shop all day. Sigh. Here we go again…Cork wedge = good amount of give while she walks = less blisters. Polyurethane rubber sole on the 2″heel means they will last long enough for them to go out of style.
Her Verdict: <3<3<3
His Verdict: My eyes glaze over when I talk about shoes / have to go shoe shopping. My guy shoe shopping tip: bring your Nintendo DS or PSP along. Read more:Walking
Made With Love 2007-03-27 01:23:30
Her Side: I know…. fashion trends have basically made the once tough icon of punk into an everyday trend.. where even the wussiest of girls feel they can sport designs like these earrings above. But these unique hand made earrings really caught my eye. Why wear the average everyday skull-type accessories when you can have these show stoppers? Reject mass-made everyday fads…. re-define.. re- invent and establish yourself as the bad-@ss girl above the typical fashion herd. $55 from Poison Apple NYC.
His Side: What better way to show your true feelings than with skulls? The Skulls are hand carved, the hearts are stamped copper, and the crystal in the chains is actually Swarovski crystal (vintage). Oh, and for those bubble-people out there who are allergic to everything like me, the earwires are hypoallergenic. They are available from also available from: Ferdinand (Portland, ME) and Rimo (Los Angeles, CA)
Her Verdict: <3 <3 <3 <3
His Verdict: <listen, nod,
And you thought you outgrew LEGOs 2007-03-26 22:17:21
Her Side: Surprisingly.. men’s obssession with “racks” extends to wine racks as well. Personal growth is a good thing. =D In my household.. the wine never makes it to the rack… but at least constructing this monstrosity will keep the bf out of your hair for a while.
His Side: Wine is fun…wine culture is snobby. This wine rack availble from Firebox.com on the other hand is awesome. Legos…wine…amazing. Injected molded with ABS plastic with a design from Gideon Dagan this is probably the only time your nerd-like obsession with legos is going to be stylish. Because the design is interlocking and strong, your rack can build as your wine collection grows.
Her Verdict: <3 <3 <3 <3 - mostly bc i heart wine…. and mental vacations from the bf.
His Verdict: Alcohol + Legos = Awesome. I learned that equation in med school.

I scream, you scream…We all scream for Ice Cream! 2007-03-26 16:48:09
Her Side: This is a handmade dessert for your handbag. The I Scream wallet has a turquoise interior and lots of nooks and crannies for all your change.. credit cards&hellip
; and cash.. or in my case lack there of. Why carry some designer plain looking wallet, when you can have a snazzy unique handmade one?
His Side: My girlfriend loses her stuff all the time. And it is ALWAYS MY FAULT. Enter this wallet. Durable cotton construction with interfacing to stabilize its shape. 5 credit card pockets for when she steals all of yours, elastic pen holder, and two slots for your money and checkbook. No change purse…but she says “Who needs change?! Benjamins only in this wallet!”…and I died a little inside.
Her Verdict: <3<3<3<3
His Verdict: $36bones..not too bad. Read more:Cream
El Camino Halter 2007-03-26 00:17:20
Her side: The model may look constipated in this picture.. but this VOLCOM EL CAMINO HALTER TOP is still FABULOUS. It’s such an eye catcher. Vivid bold designs and a sexy neck line make this a perfect summer/spring essential to your wardrobe. I’m asking for his credit card as we speak.. and by ask I mean I am taking.
Her Verdict: <3<3<3<3 Its not a 5 heart shirt bc its $36 - that means I can by FOUR .. count them FOUR monKEYs sets instead of this. Read more:Camino

Sweet Baby Jesus.. my nostrils.. they’re on FIRE! 2007-03-25 17:14:00
Her Side: That’s right.. we’ve all smelled it.. that unmistakable odor wafting out from the bathroom … that seeps into every crevice of your nostril.. and not to mention your home! and a relieved.. smug bf sitting on the couch watching tv. We can’t do anything about the bf.. but have I got the solution for their “surprises” that they leave you. One drop of this magical potion will prevent even the foulest of smells.
His Side: Remember in college…when you cellophaned the toilet in your dorm? This amounts to the same thing. Poop goes in, nothing comes out. Bommmmmmbbbbbssssssssss Awayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!
Her Verdict: <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 - it’s not so much a want.. as it is a survival need….
His Verdict: 5 flaming bags of poo. Read more:Sweet

So today.. I was outsmarted by a clock.. 2007-03-25 03:33:28
Her Side: Essentially… each night I die.. and am unhappily reborn the next morning… translation: i LOOOOOVE my sleep in an unhealthy way. =D But this little terror on wheels is EXACTLY what my med school career needs. He wakes you up… you hit snooze.. he says.. HA.. you wish.. and actually ROLLS OFF THE DESK and HIDES… only to chime incessantly until you find him… and then proceed to strangle him. This lively character named “Clocky” also comes in mint, and aqua colors. Personally i would have painted him red and glued on some horns…but anyway.. Sweet dreams!
His Side: At least this way, she has something else to take the morning rages out on. My bruises are still healing. This little guy can drop from 3 feet and keep on tickin’ over and over again. He rolls on both wood and carpet and has a variable snooze that you can set. No guarantees that he will survive you punting him back across the room though.
This is how a city girl gets in touch with nature… 2007-03-24 18:26:54
Her Side: This reminds me of the book Secret Garden. I’d buy a couple, and stack the rings for a dramatic look at only $22 washingtons each. Those days of glitter and rhinestones are over&hellip
; its all about elegant simplicity and natural beauty.
His Side: <listen, nod, swipe, smile>
Her Side: Warm seasons means light flirty dresses and fabulous accessories to go along with them. Boyfriends… these $28 dollar earrings are EXACTLY what you need to get for your beautiful, charming, and oh so perfect gf. You quote me on that when you buy that anniversary or valentines card from the mini mart. =)
His Side: <listen, nod, swipe, smile>
Her Verdict: <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 - bc I’ve got his credit card in hand…and I’m getting a pair now!
His Verdict: Note to self…hide wallet, change pin.

Because breaking up is hard to do… 2007-03-24 06:42:37
Her Side: “The Ex” - you can slice, you can dice.. and you can keep your man in line.. or really take out some post break up aggression. No man will mess with you if he sees this sitting in your kitchen. You can find this fem power statement at Think Geek.com
His Side: Dude&hellip
;no man created these. Aside from that…they are well made. Heavy duty ABS plastic (Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) that they use in auto parts, plumbing, protective head gear (for special people like your ex), and best of all: LEGOs. Stainless steel, precision edge knives held in place with magnetic slots. At least its a sturdy way to hate men. I guess.
Her Verdict: <3 <3 <3
His Verdict: when’s the version for guys come out?
Like a candy wrapper… 2007-03-23 07:20:06
Her Side: It’s the little black dress every girl needs. The picture basically says it all *sizzle*. Get it from Bebe.. before they run out!
His Side: <drools>.. too bad I’m takin her to pizza hut because we are poor med students. Practical note: the dress is sewn shut to keep her goodies inside. Good for her. Bad for you. Read more:hellip
Beautify yourself…but don’t forget your home. 2007-03-22 01:58:09
Her side: Throw those long chandelier earrings out! Contemporary patterns with unique materials are the new thing&hellip
; These fab finds are designed by Kyo Hashimoto. Her works are loved worldwide.. from Germany, Australia, London and Japan! Check her out at her blog! And frankly, you can never have enough earrings. Throw on a different pair each day to go from casual drab to put-together fab!
His Side: <listen, nod, swipe, don’t question> (see previous post). Acrylic materials = if you step on them, she will never know the difference.
Her verdict: <3 <3 <3 <3

Her Side: Lighting can really make or break a room. Designer Howkins understands that and brings you sleek modern lines. Check out these lighting fixtures:
His Side: Both of these lights come in different colors and skins to fit your pad. Modern, not too girly. Thumbs up. Howkins, the designer hasn’t listed materials information, contact them with questions.

Go from ordinary to EXTRAORDINARY for less than $20! 2007-03-20 03:33:20 Her Side: I’m an addict to cute functional things that make everyday drab things FABULOUS and these finds come at a wallet friendly price.
His Side: Accessories…the archnemesis of boys everywhere. Here is my tried and true formula for accessory success:
Listen to what she wants
Nod Head
Take out credit card
Swipe until it starts to melt
NEVER question whether it is practical. Never.
$20.00 – Let there be light!
~ For twenty measly dollars, you can get this retro ambient lighting. Bunch it together to make a big lighting statement (as shown), or stretch the string of lights out to make a rainbow that brightens up any room!
$20.00 – Getting all wrapped up in music? Have I got a solution!
Yea yea, we’ve all seen snazzy ipod cases… but headphone organizers?! Music to my ears! Choose from a confused mummy, to an angry zombie, or a little dead guy.
Use it with headphones for your ipod or your cell phone!
So cute, so functional, and no one else will have it! Sweet.

Tired? Take a load off.. and then ROCK OUT 2007-03-18 23:53:41
Her Side: Jacob Mathew (click to go to his page) is a man that knows quality speakers. Schooled in electrical engineering and marketing, Jacob started making speakers at the young age of 16! Pair that up with his eye for design and you get modern and sleek design that is functional in the modern posh home. I know what your thinking.. can these speakers be as good as other name brand speakers that boast power and clarity? YES! He’s got the quality woofers and tweeters to suit your needs, and the taste to satisfy the artist in all of us.
~ Don’t wanna dine on a speaker chair? How about watching your fav movie on a speaker couch? no? speaker massage table? yes..he’s pioneered them all.
~ Wanna romantic atmosphere without the wires and ugly box speakers that come with mood music? How about speakers built into the wine?
~ and check out the minimalist cello woofer!
His Side:
The wine-stand speaker: it is equipped with a silk dome tweeter, which might not hit the highs of
Beauty and Brains 2007-03-18 08:42:31
Her Side: Since when did “looking professional” and “outdated shoulderpads, bulky suits, shapeless pants and skirts, and boxy shoes” become synonymous? NEVER! Thanks to some designers who understand beauty and brains is a deadly combo in any profession.
My favorite designer is Bebe (italian style modeled above), but if you’re budget is limited (like mine is… unfortunately..) THANK Madonna! Yes I said Madonna.. the mother of SEX APPEAL who teamed up with H&M to give us glam designs that scream professional vixen for a FRACTION of the cost! Her line will be in stores March 22, 2007!

Dresses that would make the Groundhog blush (o^_^o) 2007-03-18 07:40:02
Her Side: Just say no to groundhogs. You know spring is here thanks to these fun and flirty dresses! Let your inner vixen or country girl frolic in the sun! Here are some from H&M and urban outfitters.
His Side: Short dresses + light springtime breezes are just one of the many reasons to take your girlfriend out to H&M or Urban Outfitters. Read more:Dresses

Puma: Sporty, Spice…EVERYTHING NICE!! 2007-03-18 06:55:04
Her Side: Seriously.. how great are these boots?! Puma has fused its great taste in the sporty with the classic lines that define punk. It’s sleek and tough, yet still feminine. The style crosses all seasons.. so more bang for your buck — wear it ALL year long!
Spring time? wear it with leggings and a mod tunic and splash through the spring rain puddles (n_n)
Winter? tuck some pencil fit jeans into them and brave the elements.
Fall? kick through a pile of leaves!.. you get the idea.
His Side: Boots hurt.

I’m Late! I’m Late! For a Very Important Date! 2007-03-29 05:44:07
~ For more details about each watch, click its picture~
Her Side: For a while.. all watches looked the same…. which is really why I don’t have one right now. They just all looked SO BORING! I ended up replacing a watch with bracelets. But that may have all changed.. I visited FOSSIL
recently.. and these four watches caught my eye. They mimic the ideals of a bracelet, but are so much more! I attribute their new fantastic designs to Frank Gehry (who you might know as a Tiffany’s Jewelry designer) and Philippe Starck.
His Side: FOSSIL is really one of the few places that you can buy quality for a reasonable price these days. The watches above range in price from $65 (wide-banded rectangular) to $85 (brown) to $125 for the two white watches. I have owned two fossil watches and the only reason they have broken is because I am a klutz. Tough, durable, and stylish. All of the materials on these watches are quality: genuine leather, stainless steel and wood.
Her Verdict:
Orb-o-rific 2007-03-28 22:40:22
Her Side: Candles really set the mood no matter where you are…. but what if you don’t have the table space? well that’s no problem… These are Hanging Glass Votives. Hang them above your bathtub for a relaxing get away… or in your garden on a nice summer evening. $12…. think of the possibilities–> Like this great idea from Weddingbee! (thanks for the tip, Tiffany!)
His Side: I leave home decorations, especially when they are this inexpensive, to the girlfriend.
Her Verdict:<3 <3 <3 <3 <3
His Verdict: This is really one of those “whatever you want, honey” items. Rocket St. George’s online store sells only quality from what we have seen. Shipping for those outside of the UK might be a hassle.
Black Blossom Wallpaper Panel 2007-03-28 20:00:27
Her Side: It’s so hard to find art for your walls. You end up taping posters.. or some other hideous thing. Well I found this BlackBlossomPanel
. I thought it was SO FANTASTIC! but then I saw the price.. $2,280 buckaroos. I LOVE design… and I’m addicted to shopping… but I’m a reasonable human being… so it looks like I’m stuck with the posters.
His Side: This wall-hanging is created from vintage wallpaper, hand-stitched with its black blossom design, and given a layer of depth with some hand screen printed, lighter hues. They recommend hanging the panel with a perspex rod (translation: acrylic glass, aka Lucite), most likely to avoid the mold problems that would be seen with a wooden rod. It measures 56cm x 300cm (22” x 118.1”). All that being said… $2280 is kind of steep for the med student’s budget. And by kind of steep, I mean…there goes eating for the semester.
Her Verdict: <3 <3
His Verdict:
Aren’t I Gorgeous? 2007-03-28 17:33:10
Her Side:$32 The writing is on the wall. This shower curtain is so sexy, it leaves no room for error. Slightly see through … and for even the most slow witted of boyfriends… scripted compliments in each block! What an empowering way to start your day!
His Side: Sigh. No comment. This shower curtain is made of PVC, which is a pretty tough and microbially resistant material…but is only worth the money if its thick enough to be durable. Even the toughest of material will rip if they spun it out too thinly.
Her Verdict:<3<3<3<3
His Verdict: You need to go to Urban Outfitters to check this one out to see if it is thick enough to be worth the money.
BUT ITS ON SALE!!!!…$4-$6 2007-03-30 21:26:42
Her Side: A TOTE ON SALE! sweeeeeeet.

His Side: “…good lord…you’re ridiculous “…

things $20 or less. LEARN IT. LIVE IT. LOVE IT. Not joking.
BUT ITS ON SALE!!!…(~$20.00) 2007-03-30 07:35:10

His Side: On the practical side, each of the towel sets above is embroidered, not screen printed - so it will last. … I gotta admit.. she’s getting better at this not shopping for useless things bit. Kidding!

Feeling Lucky, Punk? 2007-03-29 23:28:37
Her Side: Personally i’m a fan of spin the bottle… now that’s my kind of roulette (>_o)! But this seems like the drunk fun kind of roulette.. you know the kind where you’ve had one too many tequilas and you want to see which one of your friends is willing to chance death by pepper… *no whammie no whammie no whammie*
His Side: This Chocolate Russian Roulette is freakin hilarious. Thats all I’ve got to say. You just spin and pray to whatever deity believe in that you don’t get that chili pepper. Apparently the chocolate is sweet enough that you don’t taste the pepper for 2-3 seconds…HILARIOUS as the smug expression on your buddy’s face wears off to one of horror. These are currently only available to ship within the EU and will be available after April 1oth.
Her Verdict: <3 <3 <3 - Spin the bottle ends with a kiss.. from a stranger.. oooo!… this ends with fire in your mouth… or your friend’ Read more:Feeling
It’s what’s on the OUTSIDE that counts… 2007-03-29 18:52:33
Her Side: Sadly, I’ve already purchased a case for my MacBook&hellip
; and all I have to say is.. REFUND! I wish I found this sooner, but WHO searches keyword “COZY” when you’re looking for a computer SLEEVE. Anyway, these fit any laptop from 12-13”. It also comes in three refreshing colors: brown, teal, and “stella green” (not shown). oh .. and did I mention is the SAME PRICE as a normal boring farty old black one: $28! I was SO SHAFTED!
His Side: Hahahahah, ‘cozy’. Nanda, if you are reading this…rename your product. Right now. Fits 12”-13” laptops, 100%cotton exterior and 100%nylon interior = no scratches. Even when your girlfriend is “accident prone”.
Her Verdict: <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 -i heart electronics.. and i heart the people that make great accessories for them! Because how else will other people know that you have a kick-@ss computer in there?
His Verdict:tough and stylish, bet
At Least Someone Will Be Getting Lucky If I Buy Her This Bag 2007-03-31 22:30:16
Her Side: A No.2 pencil…. a pink pearl eraser… and some good luck of the four leaf clover kind are the things I trust my education to! Who needs studying when you have LUCK! I heart leprechauns! They’re magically delicious! (>_<)
His Side: Measures 7.5 x 4.5 x 2.25 inches and weighs in at 4.8 oz. … kinda heavy, but who am I to judge. I have never owned a pencil case in my life.
Her Verdict: <3 <3 <3 <3
His Verdict: Trust me…sometimes in med school, you really do just need a bit of luck.
