Une Boutique Très Chic

Have any of you ladies out there received Gardasil shots?

http://www.gardasil.com/   It is a vaccine that is in a series of 3 shots to help prevent cervical cancer and otherHPV diseases.

Yesterday I had my 3rd and final shot and I won’t lie, it was pretty painful. Not the needle at all, but when the medicine was being injected. They say that the pain increases with each Gardasil shot you get. Legally the government now provides a packet of information that your doctor will give to you with everything you need to know about the Gardasil including site effects.

Well, this morning I woke up feeling a bit nauseous and dizzy and my arm  was itching pretty badly at the injection point. I took the band-aid off and I noticed I had a reaction. My upper arm now has a large bump about 2-3 inches long, but in a circular shape, if that makes any sense.  I got my handy little packet out and it said that 1 in 30 women will experience itching and that if you start to feel dizzy or have other side effect to call you doctor.

So, I called my doctor and she said that I could come in and see her, which honestly I wasn’t really up for doing, or to wait a few days and if it doesn’t go away or get better, I would have to go into the office and they would have to treat me.

Hopefully it gets better soon! I just find it interesting that my first two shots were a breeze and on my third one I have a reaction.

Has this ever happened to anyone? If any readers had their Gardasil shots and want to share their thoughts about it and or experiences please let me know!

Hello Lover! Welcome to Carrie’s old apartment. A one bedroom apartment in the Upper East Side. Considering that the majority of New York lives in apartments the size of tiny shoe boxes this one is not that bad, and fairly believable. What I love about this apartment is that its style in no way, shape, or form represents her fashion style. It is quite the opposite of how you would expect her to decorate it. I love the old vintage feel of the space. The designers of the set said they bought items that you would find at a flea market.

Carrie obviously has plenty of ‘things’ around her apartment: books, magazines, candles, vases, small tables and chairs, and other trinkets.

The designers purposely created cracks and faults in the structure of the apartment to make it more realistic!

The kitchen she never used painted in the color ‘Eggshell’

AND THE NEW! The color is beautiful.

I read an article on the website of Elle Decor called “Designer Secrets to a Sexy Bedroom”.

I think this design is brilliant. I love the idea of having sheer drapes around the bed. They close off the bed area from the rest of the room.

Luxury Bedding: A sexy bedroom must have comfortable linens and a large cloud like comforter. Elle recommends using the Dual Warmth Comforter by Select Comfort.

Lovely lighting and candles

The Canopy: I used to have one when I was a child and it made me feel like a princess. I wouldn’t mind having one as an adult because I do think they made the bedroom beautiful. Though, the one in the picture is a bit over the top for my liking. Not only does it seclude the bed, it acts as a room divider.

Literally.

Thanks to a website called whatsmineisyours.com. This site lets you list those items in your unwanted wardrobe and in return you will get items that you would like from somebody else’s wardrobe. Basically, it’s fashion swapping and proves the meaning behind someone else’s trash is someone else’s treasure!

 As you may know from previous posts, I adore Patricia Field, the stylists of Sex and the City. She was offered to give Diet Coke bottles a bit of a makeover with the ‘Diet Coke City Collection’. Patricia worked with a friend of hers who is an artist to come up with these four quirky bottle designs (just in time for the Sex and the City movie). “The Diet Coke City Collection captures today’s modern women - confident, glamorous, sexy and more in charge of their own lives - and represents the areas of life that are most important to them such as career, passion, love and fashion,” she said in an article on Vogues website.

As of now, I believe they are only being sold in Selfridges stores here in the UK, but if I find out that the bottles are making it worldwide I will let you know.
