Paul & Joe Short-Sleeve Jersey Polo:
- $16.99 at Target
- This is not just any ordinary polo. The sleeves are slightly puffed and it has a peter pan collar.
- See Right on Target with Paul & Joe

Tahari Floral Dress:
- Amy randomly gave to me
- If Amy didn't give this dress to me, I wouldn't own it otherwise. It's not a bad dress, just not my type. I think the floral pattern is a bit dowdy and the mini bow seems out of place. I do like the structure of the neckline because it gives the top half of the dress a corset-like look.

Mossimo Black Diego Flats:
- $23.99 @ Target
- See Marching with Penguins, Polking Around DDCLab, Pretty Badass Princess Skulls and Stoked at the Delfina

"Chrissy, come on down! You're the next contestant on the Price is Right!"

I got to meet Bob Barker. You can bet that my grandma was jealous! He told some pretty funny stories about being manhandled by Samoan women. Everyone had a chance to spin the wheel, play the dice game and Plinko! But we were all playing for nothing.

Besides all the "Price is Right" madness, I also met the cast of "Jericho," "Rules of Engagement," and "Criminal Minds." A bunch of football announcers were there, but I didn't recognize anyone. At least my dad is getting a Superbowl t-shirt and hat.

The CBS party was pretty lame compared to ABC. They only served snacks while ABC had sushi and pasta bars. Of course there was an open bar and as long as there's alcohol there's a party... Ha! Yeah right. I was super exhausted and just grabbed one drink and headed home to sleep.

H&M Black Turtleneck Sweater:
- $12.90 @ H&M
- This is a great turtleneck sweater because it's not too thick and bulky. The weather is getting a bit colder and this is an ideal sweater for winter in Los Angeles. I'm glad I bought this sweater at such a great price and found a black one in my size.

Gold Owl Pendant Necklace:
- $5.80 @ Forever 21
- I've been looking for an owl necklace for awhile now and when I least expected it, I found this one at Forever 21 for a good price. I found myself playing with it and almost broke the branch/tail part of it, but because the metal is so cheap, the necklace is really light.

Express Editor Light Gray Shorts:
- $9.99 @ Express
- I love this color and the style is very structured giving it a sharp, crisp look. They're formal shorts that are actually pretty formal and can be worn to the office. I think these shorts can also be paired with something a little more frilly and girlie for a nice spring look. And again, the marked down price is something I would never pass up. I'm not ashamed to purchase good clothing at cheap prices.

DKNY Black Tights:
- $5.99 @ T.J. Maxx
- See Gen Art's Fresh Faces in Fashion

Bongo Black Sequined Shoes:
- $14.99 @ T.J. Maxx
- See Christmas Day at the Bahia and Shark! at Scripps

My First TCA Event:

I attended the Television Critics Association Winter Press Event for ABC at the Ritz-Carlton in Pasadena. Wow! It was a very cool experience. Not only did I get to watch an advance screener of the returning episode of "Lost" (it's nice to be an insider!), but I also met and interviewed showrunners from "Lost," "Ugly Betty," "Brothers & Sisters," "Desperate Housewives," and "Men in Trees." Then, I hung out at the red carpet and sipped cocktails with various TV stars from ABC, ABC Family and Disney Channel. And to think, it was just another day at work for me. Man, I have a great job!

Check out the shoutout I got from the Sprouse twins ("The Suite Life of Zack and Cody") for baby sister Kayla:

Fang 3/4 Sleeve Red Star Print Top:
- $4.30 @ Burlington Coat Factory
- I forget which movie we went to see at Clairemont Town Square, but it was raining and we had at least 45 minutes to kill until the movie started. To get out of the rain I slipped into Burlington Coat Factory across the parking lot to browse around. The store was a mess (this coming from someone who frequents Marshalls) and the selection was even worse. This shirt caught my eye amidst the racks of crap and if it were at any other store or for even a dollar more, I wouldn't have bought it.

The Birch Aquarium at Scripps seemed a lot bigger when I went there for a field trip in 6th grade. I'm normally not very fond of animals, but underwater creatures are always fun to look at, especially the ones that remind me of Nemo and friends. I even like touching the starfishes and sting rays.
