Wanting.A Frank Lloyd Wright home is on sale in Pasadena, CA, for $7.7 million… |
 |
Using.Built in 1929, this Frank Lloyd Wright-styled, Arizonan Biltmore is known as the “Jewel of the Desert”… |
 |
Hating.I’m hating that I won’t be visiting this Frank Lloyd Wright tour, due to the fact that hiking boots are strongly recommended. Ugh… |
 |
Wanting.People talk about how they love the feel of paper in their hands; they can’t read a book any other way. Please. Unless the book is beautifully bound, who cares? It’s about the mental movie playing in your mind. I need to download Kindle for iPhone so I can enjoy more Ayn Rand… |
 |
Using.I used eReader on my Palm Treo, years ago, in school — it was a great way to get around lugging the books I never bought to class. Now I used eReader on the iPhone, and it’s so good — it’s connected to ManyBooks.net, a site full of free ebooks. I’m always re-reading Ibsen, Edith Wharton, and How to Use Your Mind (though why a chick would need to know how to think, I’m not sure)… |
 |
Hating.I downloaded Stanza on the iPhone. It’s not that Stanza is awful — it looks and e-feels just like all the other iPhone ereaders. It’s more about how hard it is to get books on your iPhone… |
 |
Wanting.I had a 90210 dentist whiten my teeth once — I got chalk-white, Trump-like chompers, and sensitive teeth for days. After that, I stuck with Crest Whitestrips. That said about performance, I’ll buy these Crest Whitestrips Advanced Seal just for that trapezoidal packaging… |
 |
Using.I slip Crest Whitestrips on daily — at the gym, in the shower or before meetings, if I bother to put more than heels on that day… |
 |
Hating.I don’t think this box of Crest Whitestrips is the same value as the one I use. And I’d rather save $7 for a soy matcha latte at Urth Caffe… |

Wanting.A botnet is a group of hacker-controlled computers, usually only Windows-based PCs — until last week. iBotnet, a network of infected Macs, was just discovered (I wrote about how to remove iBotnet on my other blog, 411-Spyware.com). I’m feeling more paranoid than usual, so I’m considering trying antivirus software MacScan… |
 |
Using.Right now I run MacAntivirus software clamXav, typically at 3 a.m., after three too many soy matcha green tea lattes. Mac geeks tell me it’s choice, and it’s free… |
 |
Hating.I haven’t heard hot things about Norton AntiVirus, and the model’s hair is very 1993 Boy Meets World… |
 |
Wanting.Omelle shoes would border on fashion victim if they weren’t so well crafted — their soul’s in that groovy sole… |
 |
Wearing.That beautiful black bow distracts from that killer, curved heel on this Omelle shoe. Nude is the perfect colored shoe to work a little fashion over fuction, since the color blends into your leg… |
 |
Hating.As a d’orsay, buckled mary jane, this Omelle shoe is busier than me on a Saturday night (I do a little of reading, you know)… |
 |
Wanting.That little bow above your bum is so choice. Marlies Dekkers thongs play perfectly forceful and feminine, and make you look better than naked… |
 |
Wearing.I’m obsessed with Marlies Dekkers underwear. I just had soy matcha lattes with the publicist for Marlies Dekkers, and my favorite thing she shared? Marlies Dekkers is such a perfectionist, it takes two years to go from design to finished product… |
 |
Hating.I only hate this thong because I don’t own it. There are few lines I’m a total whore for, that I’d buy just out of faith in the brand — Marlies is one of them… |

Wanting.Call it a Baracuta, a Harrington, a G9… A James Bond jacket is a James Bond jacket is a James Bond jacket. Worn by McQueen and Sinatra, these jackets are classic menswear, and I love it in a limited-edition leather. Work it over a pencil skirt… |
 |
Wearing.A cashmere-blend Baracuta G9 is perfect paired with a Jackie K shift dress, though it’s so hot in LA I’ve gone back to sitting at my desk in just heels… |
 |
Hating.I never wear patterns — something about them feels too obvious. Besides that, the whole point of a G9 is its minimalism, and a fat plaid distracts… |
 |
Wanting.McCaul Goldsmiths crafts gorgeous gold that’s interesting without being distracting. I’m marrying myself with this double diamond ring… |
 |
Wearing.I love that this McCaul Goldsmiths ring is a twisted infinity. Wear it with absolutely nothing else on… |
 |
Hating.A heart feels so obvious after McCaul’s more subtle swirls. Still, McCaul Goldsmith’s worse piece is another jeweler’s best success… |
