With love to GeekSugar, I give you a fun, 11 question quiz to test your knowledge on the Bros. If you have ever been a Mario fan like me, you'll enjoy this little break in your day.
PS: I got 73%. How about you?

Online Love
IM flirtations are fun. You can enjoy a relationship with someone that is far removed from your daily life. The problem is when you take those IM flirtations so far that you forget who you are. Or you forget that someone else might not be who they say they are.
This story might be one of the scariest things I have ever read. How could these people get so lost in their online world?
Collapsible European Market Tote
So much better than the "I'm Not a Plastic Bag" bag. Cute, green, and collapsible! I love the baroque patterned one.
Look Better in those Paparazzi Shots
Who doesn't want to look their best when the paps snap shots of us leaving or arriving at our favorite bar, club, or shop? I know I'm always hounded by those pesky photographers, and constantly worried that my photos will show me with a triple chin and a bad wardrobe.
Okay, maybe not. But still, when someone snaps a photo, I'd still like it to be somewhat flattering. That way I can finally add a photo to my Blogger profile. Thank goodness The Sun heard my pleas and gives me a few ideas. Like turning around, looking over your shoulder with your hands on your hips. They did use the word "bootylicious," so read it at your own risk.
Here are a few other good articles on looking your best for the paps:

Cosmetics Rainboots - Purple
So much cuter than my black wallies. And it's Target. I'm hopelessly addicted to anything Target - especially when it's something like rain boots decorated with cosmetics. For real.
MAC Blue Storm Collection Nail Enamel
I'm surprised to see that blue nailpolish is going to be back this fall, but if MAC says it is so, then it is. These are the two limited edition colors from their upcoming collection "Blue Storm", due in stores 8/23. I like them, although I also like my Rimmel Underground blue as well. I'm inspired to paint my nails blue today.
Very Michael Kors
My obsession with all things Michael Kors is well known. So, imagine my surprise when BellaSugar informed me today that MK was releasing a new perfume: Very Michael Kors. It features notes of Provence tuberose, citrus fruits, black plum, Chinese osmanthus and sugar cane. I love the tuberose scent of the originial Michael Kors, but this seems like it might add an element of the exotic to the sweet nature of the original. I can't wait to try it. I've been needing an excuse to visit the MK store in Williamsburg anyway.
Pantone Fall Fashion Color Report
Styledash brought my attention to Pantone's release of their annual Fall Fashion Color Report. Perhaps it's just my graphic designer past, but I love Pantone, and their color swatch reports have always been quite inspirational. Here are the color descriptions:
* Carafe, is a deep espresso brown.
* Burnt Ochre, a nice earthy autumn orange.
* Chili Pepper, puts a little fire in your wardrobe.
* Stargazer, takes the turquoise from the summer and intensifies it.
* Shale Green, is a green that pretty much anyone can wear. It takes what could be murky and gross and infuses a touch of blue/green in it.
* Dusk, is a dusty shade of gray that is kicked up with a touch of blue.
* Green Moss, looks just how it sounds.
* Lemon Curry, walk on the exotic side and take summer's favorite shade of yellow into new territories.
* Cashmere Rose, this color is so soft, romantic, and delicious you will want all of your fall dresses in this shade.
* Purple Wine, much softer and easier to wear than a harsh red wine color.
I'm loving the Purple Wine and Shale Green.
Coco Bustier by Escante
I adore the unusual brown and green combination. It's a nice change from your typical trashy black. I would be so tempted to wear this with pants and a jacket.
The Starbucks Oracle
Yeah, I know. I have no good excuses, so I'm not even going to insult anyone's intelligence. In the meantime, check out the Starbucks Oracle. It says that people who drink triple venti upside down caramel machiattos are usually strippers.
Yes! I have a future on the pole!
