    OMG. I had forgotten about Fashion Plates! Loved that when I was growing up.

    One of my favorites this week: Just bought body lotion in the scent “Twilight” at Bath & Body Works. I very rarely go in that store, but last night I had a blast picking out some new, inexpensive, fun scents. I also got body mist in the “stress relief scent” – so fresh and clean.

    Go Hawks! I got tickets for the U of I v. Michigan game. So excited.

    1. AJ says:

      oh oops, the scent is “Twilight Woods”

    I went to Berry Patch two weeks ago and they had tons and tons of amazing blueberries!

    I’m a senior at ISU and was in their marching band, but I spent the first 18 years of my life in Iowa City. I bleed cardinal and gold AND black and gold. I do root for the Cyclones for the ISU/UI game though, because it’s fun to have the family rivalry.

    Robert Pattinson was so hot in the 4th Harry Potter movie. Have you seen it?

  9. Sarah says:

    I love that outfit, I am in love with the dark mustard yellows for fall! And R Patz?! Swoon, mega, mega Swoon.

  10. Emily says:

    Ben doesn’t like GaGa?? I find this so shocking…..

    1. Iowa Girl Eats says:

      It’s really weird – in general he really likes her, while I don’t care for her that much. Our opinions are totally flip-flopped in regards to this song though. I love it, he hates it!

  11. Amy says:

    Fashion Plates, OMG, that was one of my favorite toys when I was a kid!!! Gah! Brings back memories!

    And GO HAWKS!!!

  12. Alyssa says:

    Go Hawks! I am so ready for football but sad that for the first time in 3 years I won’t be attending all the tailgating and football game festivities in Iowa City. I’m planning on going back for at least one game however.
    I’m looking forward to turning off my AC and opening up the windows without feeling sweat drip down my back. :)

  13. Lesley says:

    That man is walking sex. Sorry if that was TMI, but I had to go there. Um, anyway love that song too, and I WANT that fortune cookie necklace. Too bad I’ve declared September a no spending month. :( I have some shopping issues, lol.
