I like to walk through Burlington Arcade in Piccadilly for a sense of calm and ‘properness’. The shops sell the sort of tasteful things like cashmere scarves, ballet pumps and silver cufflinks that I would think to get for people who I knew absolutely nothing about. However, of late, shops of a more interesting nature have been stamping their mark on this London shopping institution (I like to use the arcade for breaking in my heels…. so much better than doing it on the hard pavements…). Frost French have set up a guerilla ‘pop-up’ store for a short period of time, but the king of the ‘guerilla’ store Comme des Garcons has done the same thing (and doing it much better of course!). Not sure what’s with all the new fragrance launches but their new perfume 8 88 has a preview shop at 5 Burlington Arcade until tomorrow! You get to buy the perfume there as it doesn’t officially launch until Feb/Mar 2008. Downstairs, they are also selling CdG Parfum t-shirts and collector CdG Parfums all at £20. Picked up some X’mas gifts as there’s nothing like a heady scent (CdG scents are very pungent… in a good way!) and impressive packaging to lull the gift-receiver into thinking that I made a lot of effort…wuhaha…
Oh, an I couldnt’ stopped sniffing myself after dowsing my wrist with 8 88 though I never thought I was a CdG perfume kind of person as they tend to make me think I have bathed in perfume. Quite an alluring scent though…

I’ve got a thing for butterflies :-) I’ve got butterfly coffee mugs, butterfly jewelery & even wore a butterfly shawl when I got married.
Want to see what I’m currently drooling over?

![Dig A Tech Girl: Where The Shit You Accomplish With Your Brain Means Nothing [Silicone Valley]](http://citypeoplefashion.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/96281.jpg)
There’s this site called Dig a Tech Girl, (which used to be called Dig a Silicon Valley Girl, before they were issued a cease and desist from Digg) that’s sort of like Hot or Not for geeks who like geeks… sort of. As Boinkology points out: “…Many of these tech girls were chosen more on the basis of appearance than any tech skills — even nominal ones.” For example, Attack of the Show! co-host Olivia Munn, or Time Out New York columnist Julia Allison who was nominated apparently because she “was in the valley for a few days in the summer and caused quite a stir.” Uh, oh-kay. But perhaps more insulting was the inclusion of this in Ms. Allison’s description: “Good looking but a bit empty in the head.” So is this what constitutes a “tech girl”? And is that what would make someone “dig” her?

Cameron, no! Not you, too!
So…here we go again. I feel like I’m in some bad dream, a la Groundhog Day or something. I have to ask, dahlings: WTF is up with this new Emperor Penguin Couture?!?
Seriously now, here are two gorgeous ladies. Cameron Diaz here, and Jennifer Garner below. Both are talented, both have pulled out all the stops in the hairdo department, and both are overall quite fabby…when they are not wearing black, white and yellow, that is.
