Hilfiger Wagoneer

Tommy Hilfiger featured Jeep Grand Wagoneers in his Fall 2010 advertising campaign and for his 25th anniversary he auctioned off a Wagoneer for charity. This was not your average 1989 Jeep Grand Wagoneer. The wood paneled sides were accentuated by a “Tommy Hilfiger 25th Anniversary” pinstripe and the interior was reupholstered with blue plaid fabric. The steering wheel was navy leather with red stitching and a gold letter “H” graced the driver’s door and passenger doors.The proceeds went to Millenium Promise.

How perfect would this be for tailgating?

I had a navy blue Grand Wagoneer in high school and let me tell you that baby could hold a lot of stuff. I will always love them...even without power steering!

Errands

I headed to the cobbler for JCW's resoled bucks.

I met a 195 pound English Bull Mastiff named Max outside of Starbucks.

I took a trip to the mall...which is never complete without visiting J.Crew. I was loving all of the plaids and pearls.

I picked up the new "Holiday Evergreen" Forever stamps. Greens are so festive and there is another postal increase scheduled for January.

Chocolate Fix

I have never been able to restrict chocolate even when attempting a diet. Here are some of my semi-healthy chocolate fixes. I really like Luna Bars and the Carmel Nut Brownie is my favorite.

Justin's Chocolate Hazelnut Butter is sold in individual packages which helps with portion control and is the perfect treat to keep in your handbag. The butter goes great with an apple or a banana. Justin's Nut Butter also makes various almond and peanut butters.

Oikos Chocolate Orangic Greek Yogurt is "pure pleasure" as it states on the package. I could eat a vat of this yogurt.

I have always been a fan of The Skinny Cow bars but I hadn't tried the Chocolate Truffle bars until Lawyer Liz turned me on to them. The small drizzle of chocolate makes them more decadent then the regular bars and for 100 calories why not keep them stocked in the freezer.

On a slightly different chocolate note...I have never had Skipjacks also known as chocolate covered oyster crackers but I am currently on the look out.

How do you get your chocolate fix?
