Friday Playdate » Blog Archive » because Angie asked what I learned at BlogHer

San Francisco is COLD. All of y’all who scoffed at my packing of a trench coat AND a jacket AND three sweaters should remember that when you go there.

Old Navy currently has the CUTEST three-quarter-sleeve trench coats in black and khaki gray. Fits particularly well if you are very petite. Just ask Danielle and Chris.

If we are in the same city and you say, “Will you go shopping with me?” the answer is ALWAYS yes. Hell yes in fact. Even if I have JUST come from shopping an hour earlier. At the same store. Doesn’t matter.

Three trips to H&M in two days is still not enough. Damn you H&M for not having a store in Oklahoma. Also thank you for the supercute black jersey dress for $29.00.

There’s a little deli on Powell Street, just down from the St. Francis, called Bellini (like the cocktail). They have the BEST mozzarella in the world, and they incorporate in into a variety of salads and sandwiches. Delish.

Cutting your own bangs with nail scissors really is NOT a good idea. EVER. Although it may take a few days for the horribleness of the cutting to really be evident.

When you pay $26.00 for two glasses of wine, you will nurse those glasses until they are empty. Even if that means you are STILL drinking that same wine the next day.

Soccer moms CAN party until 3:00 am. Don’t let ANYONE tell you otherwise.

Carrying Tylenol in your bag is an easy way to make friends with the soccer moms who partied until 3:00 am.

If you tell the Internet that flip flops are NOT appropriate footwear for airplane travel, you can pretty much guarantee that someone will stop you in the airport to see what you are wearing on your feet. Woe betide you if it is flip flops.*

Related: If you repeatedly tell the Internet about your deep and burning hatred of Crocs, you are setting yourself up for an ENTIRE WEEKEND of people professing their love of the Croc around you.

When someone says, “Don’t say ANYTHING ELSE funny because I have to pee,” your head will IMMEDIATELY fill with entire paragraphs of the Funniest Things EVER. By the time she is done peeing, it will all be gone, forever.

Sleep is for the Weak is totally worth $9.56. Seriously. I would even pay TEN DOLLARS for a copy. (Oh wait, I actually DID pay ten dollars for my copy. Damn.)

*I was NOT wearing flip flops, for the record. Good god of course not — I might have to RUN FROM THE BURNING PLANE. But that is a post for another day.

Soccer moms rock at the drinking and partying all night. I bow down to you! Teach me your wild ways!

I love you.

But I CANNOT BELIEVE I did not get props for that jacket. Seriously.

Oh the taunts had you been wearing flip flops!

Of course, you wore adorable strappy sandals with cute beading.

Thanks for your advice about the no flip flops, I ended up having to run to catch my shuttle…and it still left me behind!

Lovely meeting you in the airport!

Wait! I did not see a dress at H&M for that price! I did see a skirt, some sailor pants, and a sweater, so I think I bought enough.

Also, I had an exboyfriend who wore tennis shoes every single damn time we went on vacation for that very reason. He looked like a huge reject when we showed up in Mexico, and I always told him that, which is perhaps why we’re not together today.

I won’t wear flip flops at the airport since my germ-o-phobe friend is all “you want to put your bare feet on the floor of the AIRPORT?

Which seemed gross but then really, am I going to eat with my feet later? No.

oh yes, Stara needs credit for that jacket! i bought one too!

also? crocs? NOOOOOOOOOOOO! down with crocs.

I’m so glad I got the chance to introduce myself to you, but bummed that I didn’t get to haul you through Macy’s for a total wardrobe re-vamp.

P.S. I sat behind you and Heather at the “Passion” panel and I’d like to get the address of the BFF store you two shop at, ’cause I need me some friends like that.

Can I just say, I am so, so sad I wasn’t at BlogHer? Seriously, next year I really have to find a way to JUST GO.

Thanks, I feel completely caught up and educated now!

LOVE H&M! We don’t have one in North Carolina (woe) but I went shopping there in NYC a few months ago and oh, it was perfect! We stopped into three different ones, of course. They MIGHT have different things!

Sounds so fun! And you learned lots!

I MISSED SHOPPING WITH YOU?!?!? Fuuuuuuu… I mean, Darn it.

(I HATE Crocs. Preach on, Sistah!)

If I admit that I spent 45 minutes in H&M and left with NOTHING, am I permanently banned from this blog? Yes? Even if I blame the 25-deep lines?

Thanks so much for the coffee, muffin, and conversation at SFO and on the plane. You’re as much of a doll as I expected you would be. And then some.

Can you believe that Poppy arrived at BlogHere in flip flops? BECAUSE I COULD NOT.

Okay, next time, screw the coffee (or hot water, whatevas). I didn’t know you would go SHOPPING with me. Damn. I feel jipped.

And regarding your hair…no lie, I have rarely seen short hair on a woman worn so well. You are so chic Susan. Can I be you?

We haven’t an H&M here, either. I could do with some cold weather right about now since it is still AFRICA HOT here. I totally want in on BlogHer next year. Totally.

(Would never wear flipflops on a plane. Or crocs - anyplace.)

My sister consistently tortures me by wearing crocs. It’s PAINFUL.

Susan, it was great to see you again this year, even if it was ever-so-briefly. Excellent job moderating the Sat. afternoon panel. And your bangs looked great. I swear.

We have an H & M here a few towns over, but I still dropped about $80 in the San Francisco store. Went in for a sweater, but came out with a scarf ($6.70!), sweater, three tops and some bracelets.
