Rule #43

Never blog on an iPad. I am 2 autocorrects away from screaming in the middle of this teeny tiny airport. So I apologize in advance for how this post may turn out, but I didn't want to leave all you lovelies hanging for so long. Lord knows when I am reunited with my homeland, my blogging is sure to decrease.

But because I have no idea how to work this thing when it comes to Blogger, I only have access to the few pictures I have saved on the iPad. Luckily, this little gem is one of them.

Just kidding, I can't figure it out. And I thought watching all those episodes of The Big Bang Theory were making me smarter. In any event, the room I wanted to share with you is not new, but I'm still so in love with it. It's the living room of Milly's Michelle Smith, ya know, the one with the huge nun painting by Tony Scherman? Maybe I'll post the picture tonight when I get to my mommala's house. Until then, hope you're having a wonderful Christmas Eve eve or fourth night of Hanukkah or what have you.

Talk to you all soon!

The Perfect Little Coat

How cute is this?

Skirted Peter Pan Collar Coat

 

The collar, the cut, the buttons. It's all so lady-like and feminine. 

Now, if only it came in black too...

Santa can you hear me?

Under the Weatha

Hello Lovelies!

Fancy seeing me here on a Saturday, right?

I wanted to check in with you guys and let you know that I am currently a sick little monkey.

This will either result in many a blog posts this week, or very few. I am sort of leaning towards the latter as my efforts will be focused on a very speedy recovery as I am set to fly to Minne-notsomuchrightnow-snowta on Friday. 

But we'll see...crazier things have happened.

Here's to hoping that copious amounts of Dawson's Creek and Gossip Girl is enough to kick this sickness's ass because for the love of Britney Spears (congrats girlfriend!), I refuse to be sick on Christmas.

And speaking of Britney Spears, I love that when you search for pictures of her engagement ring (we've all already done that, right? Right.) it automatically populates with the year...

i.e. Britney Spears engagement ring 2011

Thata girl Brit!

Morally Bankrupt Folks Like Myself Rejoice

For Jimmy Kimmel has done it again. This time with terrible Christmas gifts.

Sure, Halloween candy is near and dear to any child's heart, but Christmas presents? That's basically a kid's whole life...so of course it's funny to mess with that.

There's one kid who is a stand-out favorite. Can you guess which one?

And be careful if you're watching this video at work (shame on you) as a seemingly innocent 10ish year old gets a little graphic.

Merry Christmas!

It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas

Actually, not really.

It is still about 70 degrees here in the south, which is sorta marvelous if you ask me. I miss the snow and the immediate sense of holidayness that comes along with it, but this temperature is much more civilized than the teen temps currently in Minnesnowta.

To get more in the merriment mood, I have been slowly turning my hatred of the red and green color combo into a sordid love affair. I'm not too sure how it happened, but I am loving reds and greens mixing these days.

Check it out.

 Yes.

 I mean, come on. That's awesome.

 Feelin' it yet?

 How about now?

 

No one can argue with me about that lantern. No one.

It's magical.

Oh, and because I am super awesome and extra helpful today, here is where you can get a similar lantern, PLUS a lamp that has a similar green geo pattern.

You're welcome!!

Carousel Lantern

Green Ribbon Trim Geo Lamp

Aren't they lovely?

Both are from one of my most favoritest stores, Furbish.

I took a road trip recently just to visit Furbish in all of its in-person glory, but more to come on that later.

It's almost Friday guys!

Things I Like...

Let's get back to some home junk, shall we?

Here are some things that are out of this world...

That 1940's Fontana Arte chandy is ridiculous. I can't seem to get it out of my head.

Dark and handsome. Just how I like my men den?

That wallpaper. I would plaster that bright granny junk all ova my house if Tony would let me.

But he's lame-o, so I'm sure he will limit it to one room. Boo.

Leopard sofa and perfectly imperfect hangings of gold-framed art? Yes please.

And. that. reindeer.
Gimme one of those.
He looks so cute like that in the corner, having a holly jolly Christmas.

Holiday Wish-List

I survived cooking my second Thanksgiving meal. And I must say, I did much better than last year. 

I brined my turkey this year, which I have never done by myself and not to toot my horn, but toot toot.

Now that Thanksgiving is over, it seems Christmas is right around the corner.

I've gathered a few things from my Christmas List to share with you. 

Yes, I still make one.

Hunter Original Gloss Tall Boot

Kate Spade Spike the Punch Sweater

David Yurman Cable Classics Bracelet Aqua Chalcedony

Furbish Spotted Ottoman Tray

Kate Spade Taxi Mittens

Stubbs & Wootton Jane True Needlepoint

Not too shabby, right?

What's on your wish-list this year??
