Let's Suit Up. PLEASE.

So I was in half-mind to convince you to watch the Mindy Project and rave a whole lot about it. But then I couldn't find the right filter to make the pictures look good and thus I kinda gave up on the idea. BUT THEN, I saw this amazing picture:

And now I have completely new agenda.

Suits is akin to yoga and Harvey Specter is so close to transcendental Buddhism .

And who doesn't want to approach Nirvana and levitate off the ground like Siddhartha Gautama near the sacred Bodai tree at the sauntering swag of Harvey Specter?

If that doesn't suit your boat, then at least picture yourself devouring the most delicious chocolate ice-cream that melts at the perfect time it touches your tongue. Not graphic enough? Then you need help. Or even better: Harvey Specter.

I know. I know. It's no breaking bad, it's not Californication. But if you are the kind of girl who swoons when One Direction croons "that's what makes you beautiful", then this is a just puh-fect.

For the Love of Blazers

ASOS: "Invest in your working wardrobe with pieces from French Connection, Mango, Vera Moda and more. Gotta look cute when you're spreadsheeting!"

Cute, ASOS, cute.

Cause, ya know, we women with our fancy degrees all have to in some point in our careers, or perhaps for our whole lives, scroll through them dirty ol' spreadsheets.

All I can say is - Thank the Lord for macros. Although I do have my qualms with Microsoft Excel. PLEASE EXTEND THE LIMITS TO THE NUMBER OF ROWS WE CAN HAVE IN A SPREASHEET. It would make those who work with mapping softwares and have to calculate a bajillion points a little easier.

While ASOS attempts to lure you in with a "sale" which will undoubtedly cost you a $100 if not more, I waited years with patience and miraculously found the perfect black, long, boyfriend blazer that fits me like a glove. No, even that doesn't it do it justice. The fit is unbelievable.

And guess how much I got it for? $50 *moment of silence*

Beat that Zara Basic. You probably don't even have a decent fitting, good quality top for that price because you think you're too sexy for $50 blazers. But I do love some of your blazers - I just wish, like the rest of the world, that you don't go out of business and stop inspiring us to go ludicrously insane over the funkiest piece of material we would happily call a jacket. Please. I bitch because I love you.

I can't believe there's only a few weeks left before I go back to school. Not sure how I feel - a little happy that I'm going to finally be doing what I think I love and stop doing what I know I hate. I suppose from this point, it's going good, no?

Is Bridget Jones Still Relevant in 2013?

Stylist.co.uk posed a similar question in 2011. Is she?

While I can't claim to be a chain-smoking, blubbering, fish-monger-like woman in her thirties reminiscing about single-hood, I can (quite shamefully) admit that I am a chain-swearing woman who blows her first world problems and post puberty weight gain out of proportions.

But Bridget Jones is like the modern Elizabath Bennet. Although, often post-Pride-and-Prejudice read, I can be prudish and declare that there cannot be another character like Elizabeth Bennet, which in a sense is true, I think it's somewhat safe to state that Bridget Jones does remind me of Elizabeth Bennet. Minus the grace and plus the alcoholic problems. Pretty sure though, if Elizabeth Bennet could have access to alcohol she would by any means try to get drunk to drown out her annoying mother's "raptures".

She is endearing, relatable(apparently this isn't a word) and most importantly flawed. One of those heroines who are well aware of the realities of romantic escapades, know that looks alone do not bewitch men and realize that everyone has a their fair share of baggage to distribute in the solid relationship. I wouldn't exactly say she is a timeless character, given that her personality would not be considered lady-like a few centuries ago, I can say that her oft crass behaviour - come on, more or less we are all gulty of swearing our lungs out to vent our first world frustrations out - is quite timeless (gah, I need to find a better expression for it) for the forseeable future.

With that being said, I'm wildy excited for Helen Fieldings new venture and eagerly await, I hope, the reincarnation of Mark Darcy probably at his sultriest. And crossing my fingers that he doesn't turn out anything like he was depicted in Bridget Jones 2.
