Starbucks debuted their "skinny drinks" in the New Year, and there is some controversy regarding the term "skinny latte" leads to self-esteem issues, political correctness and size discrimination which I think is stupid. How come there is no uproar for "skinny jeans"? The term "skinny" used in accordance to describe non-fat milk is not new, and I have heard this term before Starbucks put it on their menu. I think Starbucks, by putting "skinny" lattes on the forefront of the menu actually encourages people to make healthier choices by subsituting skim milk, instead of 2% milk and using sugar free syrups and I'm all for that.  

I'm feeling poor from spending money on myself in December (2 pairs of jeans, a top, a haircut, a massage and dinner really add up) and I just bought all my law textbooks today. However, I'm still wanting a pair of suede boots in black and dark brown from Zappos that Blake Lively from Gossip Girl wore on the show.

EDIT: One of my law classmates got engaged over Christmas Break, although she was expecting it. The first thing I said to her, "Can I see your hand?" and immediately started asking questions about the wedding, and the colors she is going to pick. I never thought I would be one of *those* girls that get excited over another's engagement. She hasn't picked out her dress, but has done other preparation (location, DJ, florist). However, buying bridal magazines and picking out the dress would be the first things I would do.
