A little nightie for you and your luv-ah
The countdown is under way: Only 79 more days until "Sex and the City: The Movie" comes out.
In the meantime, between now and May 30, fans can sleep in this pink, 100 percent cotton "Hello Lover" nightie. ($24.99, www.store.hbo.com)
The correct pronunciation of "lover" is "luv-ah," by the way. And it was Carrie Bradshaw's reaction to the sight of an exquisite pair of shoes.
The HBO online store also features many other "SATC" essentials, including a set of four colored martini glasses with each character's name on them ($44.99); the Charlotte-inspired "I'm Gonna Find My Inner Goddess if it Kills Me" yoga pants ($26.99); and Samantha-inspired "Hello, My Name is Single and Fabulous" tanks ($17.99).
O is for open
Oprah Winfrey's new Chicago boutique, The Oprah Store, is now open for business.
Located at 37 N. Carpenter St. in Chicago, next to Harpo Studios, the 5,500-square-foot shop sells 900 different items, including "O" apparel, workout clothes, DVDs, books and South African crafts. There's also a special "Oprah's Closet" area which sells items once worn by the famous talk show host/media mogul.
All of the boutique's profits are being donated to either Oprah's Angel Network or to her South African school.
Boutique hours are 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday and noon to 4 p.m. Sunday.
An online version of the store should be ready later this spring.
St. Patty's shirts
Need a cheap, quick St. Patty's Day shirt? Try Steve & Barry's, where they have three green shirts especially for the holiday. And at only $8.98 each, it'll leave you with beer money.
The store also carries green accessories for the occasion.
Another good place to find T-shirts: Glarkware. Their "Good Grammar Costs Nothing" T-shirt ($20, www.glarkware.com) is one we certainly can appreciate.
