Confessions of Late Night Addictions

For the last few weeks I have had an impossible time falling asleep. I’ll lay in bed with the lights out fully prepped for a good nights rest but my mind won’t stop whirling. My sleeplessness is usually triggered by thoughts of the Bar exam – What are excuses for nonperformance of a contract? How is an Easement created? Which hearsay exceptions require the declarant to be unavailable? Once I start rehashing my outlines in my head, it’s impossible for me to fall asleep for at least the next two hours. Well dear readers, I’m happy to report that a few nights ago I found a solution to my sleepless night dilemma. What is it, you ask? HSN and QVC. I spend at least 30 minutes before turning the lights out every night watching the Home Shopping Network or QVC. I’ve always been a “stress shopper” – when I’m stressed and overwhelmed, rather than turning to food or alcohol, I turn to shopping. What better way to get my shopping fix than watching the two best at-home shopping channels, right? And surprisingly, there have been a few items offered that I really like:

cuff watch

How cute is this bracelet watch by Rachel Zoe? I love that it’s functional (as a watch) but also so stylish and such a bold statement.

sweater vest I adore this sweater vest (also Rachel Zoe) for layering in the fall.  Sadly, it’s sold out in my size.

earrings

These earrings by Tori Spelling are so chic and would look fabulous with a colorful fall ensemble.

What do you think of the above pieces? Have you bought anything from QVC or HSN?

  1. Rachel Zoe on QVC? Wow who'd have thought it! Following this blog would love it if you could look at/follow mine.

  2. Ok - besides the fact that the earrings are from Tori Spelling (I gagged a little...haha) I LOVE them! They have a bit of an ocean vibe too (don't they look like pieces of coral?) I really love them :)

  3. I love all of it! I watch home shopping channels when I can't sleep, too. There's something very soothing about all of these items being paraded out for you to see. It takes every bit of the work out of shopping!

  5. I love the Rachel Zoe bracelet! I'm more prone to watching bad TV shows that I've purchased on DVD late at night (Sweet Valley High, anyone?)... It's pretty bad.
