Sarita Chiquita

My boutique may be closed, but I'm still Sarita Chiquita!

About Me

Hi I'm Sarah, aka Sarita Chiquita. My mother gave me the nickname when I was little. Sarita means "little Sarah" and Chiquita for the Chiquita banana stickers she would stick on my nose.I was the owner and designer of Sarita Chiquita Boutique in College Hill, Providence, but decided to close the store in August of 2006. (Retail was slow and I found a great job). I have a beautiful 3 year old daughter and an absolutely wonderful husband. I'm a very lucky girl...I am simply in love with fashion in all of its aspects and aspire to start my own fashion magazine someday.

Television:

Fashionista that I am, I am addicted to America's Next Top Model, Project Runway, What Not To Wear, Absolutely Fabulous and Sex & The City on DVD (over and over again), The Office (both the British & American versions), Black Adder, Black Books, Little Britain, The IT Crowd, Spaced, American Gothic, Twin Peaks, Flight of the Conchords, The Daily Show, Heroes, Arrested Development, Family Guy, Best Week Ever, The Soup, Food Network. Most of all, I will always love Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel (I watch the reruns all the time)

Books:

Biographies of old movie stars and fashion icons, Stephen King, all the Harry Potters, The Dune Series and Prequels. ANYTHING by David Sedaris. And I can't believe I am admitting this, but it is my guilty pleasure to read all of those new chick-lit books set in the glamorous world of fashion or celebrity that seem to keep popping up by British and American authors. I have read great literature at different points in my life, but sometimes the trashy stuff is more fun.

Heroes:

As a little girl, Wonder Woman was my hero. I don't see any reason to change that....

Shaking things up

Amazing what a day or two can do.  After feeling sad, miserable, lonely and lost for a few precious days, I woke up with an epiphany.  Everything is fine.  I know I'll have the bad days...
