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!

Furbish.

Ok, so I told you guys last week that I ventured to Furbish.

So ya know those times where you hype something up so much and you dream about how awesome it's going to be and then when you actually experience it, it's a huge let down?

This is not one of those times.

The first part is totally true; I drooled over pictures, imagined items in my house-to-be, and became overly infatuated with a pair of dalmatian chairs.

I took a little road trip to Furbish and this is what I found...

 

 I was initially greeted by a lovely hot pink door.

This is going to be good.

 When you first walk in, it's a little bit of sensory overload. In a great way.

Amazing foxglove wallpaper. Swoon.

Don't you just love that painting by Jenny of MFAMB?

Look at that bed in all of its splendor.

And yes, those are my chairs. MINE.

The jewelry is all lovely. I especially liked those coral necklaces on the left.

But that's the necklace I snagged. I'll show it to ya in a hot second.

There are no words.

 I love the mix of the floral granny-awesome sofa and that rug.

Black swirl chair...

Black swirl wall, done by Jamie herself.

Pillow talk. Remember those?

 Delicious bubble-gum pink sofa.

Fabric wall, hung on cute puppy butt hooks.

And those chevron chairs? Yay!

All of the above pictures were taken from Honey + Fitz, I was much too awestruck to whip out my camera.

If I hadn't just spent so much money on Christmas gifts for myself I would have gone buck wild.

As soon as I find out where we're moving in a few months, all bets are off!

Here's what I did end up with...

Mr. and Mrs. hand towels. They are so cute and perfect in our master bathroom.

And my neck-a-luss

HOLLER!

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.

Happy Birthday Britney Spears!

It's time to start poppin' Red Bull and bustin' out the Cheetos.

It's Miz Spears' 30th birthday ya'll!

Can you believe our girl is already 30?

She is just too wonderful for words and I only wish I could celebrate with her, sans shoes of course.

Let's all have a toast in her honor.

Have a fabulous Friday everyone!

Keep on dancin' til the world ends.

xoxo Meg
