really?!?!

pretty much says it all!!

i just love amy poehler :)

"DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO!"

"hey, i got something to say to you...man!"

"i break for birds, i rock a lot of polka dots! i have touched glitter in the last 24 hours! i spend my entire day talking to children...and i find it fundamentally strange that you're not a dessert person, that's just weird and it freaks me out! and i'm sorry i don't talk like murphy brown and i hate your pantsuit; i wish it had ribbons on it or something to make it just slightly cuter...and that doesn't mean that i'm not smart and tough and strong!"

amen, jess. new girl is definitely a new fave of mine, and this quote from tuesday's episode really struck me, because i feel that's really me (besides the talking to children all day part...). and i feel like saying those things sometimes... yes i carry an oldschool volkswagen metal lunchbox, and it's fun and awesome! i dance in my chair at work when i'm listening to happy music, i have an affinity for saying "woo hoo!" and yes i have a mustache tattoo (yes it's real), i think its hilarious! stop taking yourself so seriously!

favorite super bowl commercial

there were some good, some bad, and some straight ugly.  while i think everyone loved "the force" commercial (so, SO cute!) my favorite was the beetle one!! i thought it was clever, cute and unexpected. what was your favorite?

tonight

let it begin, my guilty pleasure season of television.  gossip girl starts tonight!

what's your guilty pleasure show??

mr. & mrs. sookie stackhouse & co.

where was i when anna paquin & stephen moyer got married?? anyway, congrats to the happy couple! here they are, both wearing mcqueen, looking so sublime on the emmy red carpet:

and while bill & sookie are my favorite on and off screen couple, few hold a candle to my beloved lafayette (nelson ellis), my favorite tv character, possibly of all time. here he is looking so fly on the red carpet (loving the hat, la la!):

and can we pause for a moment and really enjoy the hottness that is jason stackhouse? i mean...swoon! he makes that passe double-breasted look thing really work for him.

and speaking of red hot, miss tara (rutina wesley) is stunning in a hand-painted douglas annette dress and is really working that up-to-there slit!

and last but certainly not least, is there anyplace else you would rather be than stuck between these two? i think not!

soak it up

 

it's a cold and rainy day here; it was very hard to pry myself out of bed.  but hey, it's friday right??  seems like a perfect night to relax at home and snuggle with roxy...maybe finally work on those buttons i thought i would do last weekend. hopefully tomorrow will bring some sunshine for the endless errands i have to run, and then an evening catching up with a lovely friend (complete with delicious wine and food, of course!).

in the mean time

these aprons are beyond cute and make me wish i did more baking!

these are the perfect chairs, so fun and beautiful

valentine's day is coming up, do you need any adorable cards? (one with a bicycle!)

loving the decade-driven styles from urban and anthro

can't get enough of the beach house album (thanks to alice's awesome musical taste)

what a fun typography tattoo  

elizabeth made some gorgeous dresses, then told us how to do it!

*photo from our snow day (i wish it were snowing today)

oh, and does anyone watch project runway? is it me, or did that team challenge bring out the absolute WORST in everyone?! i mean the designs were fine, but they (all) were really not nice working together. that said, i'm glad that ping was cut, but i really thought emilio & anna's designs were tops. 

enjoy your weekend, soak it up!!

xoxo

truthful tuesday

in light of this being a semi-new blog with mostly new readers, i thought i'd do a little feature every week getting to know me...and in turn, getting to know you! so is born, "truthful tuesday." let's start with a little confession...

yesterday, while thinking about going to the gym and what was for dinner (these go hand in hand, right?) i thought, "oh it's monday! gossip girl will be on tonight!" so i looked up online whether it would be on and if it was a new episode...not only was gg NOT on last night, i found out that it doesn't start back until march...MARCH! i had a minor freak out. is this normal for a twentysomething married career woman? probably not, but oh well. so i got home from work and told stephen about this outrageous discovery...to which he said "what? march? really?!" and there you have it. not only am i a sucker for gossip girl, but my husband watches it with me...and enjoys it (sorry love, i just ratted you out).

so what about you? do you have any guilty tv pleasures?
