boxers or briefs?

horseface's birthday gifts were fairly unimaginative this year.  i'm still creatively tapped from Christmas.  but he seemed pleased with his new duds.  he's not exactly "designer jeans guy" but I love these AGs on him.  he was excited about the blundstones, too.  and obvs he was over the moon over the framed picture {totes kidding, he could care less about that shiz}  but I worship the images from the ash's wedding from white loft studio and this is one of my very faves.  sneaky heidi caught us holding hands under the table.  love.

monday fun{ny} day : globes aftermath

there's nothing too funny about today, as i am very tired and have serious january monday blues. 

 seems we got the big girl beds set up just in time for play-off season as i bunked with C after horseface gave an unprecedented pats celebratory performance last night.  i might talk to him again by march.  

and phoebe broke the TV during sgt. brody's acceptance speech.

globes = bust. 

thank gawd the ash was here to keep my loffing through it all.

amy & tina kept me smiling, too.

best line of the night:

"This presenter is so handsome, he makes a young George Clooney look like garbage. Please welcome, a middle-aged George Clooney." (Fey and Poehler)

so true.  

facts of life clooney . . .

 has got nothin' on this guy.

obvs.

{and extra points for being amazebalz on homeland}

sophia

halle

giuliana

seriously tho WHY this color?  i can't. . .

cannot end on that note because hoot likes happy things not browntown dresses.  so i'll congratulate ben for argo.  totes deserved the win on that one.

{see the complete list of winners here}

and just a final shout out to BC.

i forgive you. . .

now please, please, come whisk me away from this:

and the oscar goes to . . .

possibly this guy.

yeah that's right. . . 

you heard me. . .

this guy.

so i'd like to take a moment to publicly declare my undying love  heartfelt congratulations to bradley cooper for getting the coveted best actor oscar nod for silver linings playbook.  he's also up for a golden globe this sunday.  

the ash is visiting this weekend and we are going to see it . . . obvs.  then, while the horse is being a neanderthal at the pats game, our personal superbowl is happening.  

wine. pizza. wine. globes. wine.  YES!

the globes dominate all other awards shows.  movies AND my true love, TV and, ahem, they give them all booze!    

so many of my faves are up.  i need connie britton to win best actress for friday night lights nashville.

TAMI TAYLOR for president!

and can we even deal with the BFF co-hosts amy poehler and tina fey?  adorbs.

and best actor in a TV series?  i mean, i die a bit.  nicholas brody vs. walter white vs. nucky thompson vs. don draper.

oh, hello, there.  it's been awhile.

i'm having heart palpitations already.  i'm going to be so pissed if jeff daniels wins for the newsroom, the only show i'm not obsessed with.  he's totes going to.  womp.

i could clearly go on and on about this. . . clearly.

so let's just discuss what i'm going to wear if and when "the call" comes.  unfortch, i'll have to go off the rack since bradley is taking his sweet ass time inviting me.  i'll be soliciting feedback on a few options this afternoon.  stay tuned.

see the complete list of 2013 oscar noms here.

and brush up on the globes here.

{PS affleck got robbed on the oscar director nod for argo.  that movie is legit.  routing for him on sunday}

spotted . . .

 leopard.

 everywhere.

loving it for the home.  house beautiful has a page dedicated to some spot-tastic prints this month.

i spy one of my faves that we used on our kitchen banquette.  {it is foul 4 years later and needing to be recovered. . .obvs.} btw, this is where i am blogging from right. now.  

the space is looking ridiculously lame relative to the leopard accents i found on pinterest.

meeeeowwwwww . . . .

also love-loving it for the wees.  saw two of the cutest instagram babes decked in leopard yesterday {shout out to the sassy & stylish super bres & a moore}

one of my fave pics from the ash's rehearsal is of p in her leopard cardigan. . . and tutu.  obvs.  {she literally will not leave the house without adding a tutu . . . or 2 or 3}

worship.

pining for pine street

i know it's been awhile . . . i was busy having the best. week. evah.

truly some of the happiest moments of my life.

so many more wedding deets to follow -- but as of now -- i'm unpacking, re-grouping, and missing our humble abode {rental. obvs.} in the heart of nantucket town.

here's the room where gemma {THE dress} slept.  she took up the majority of the room.  obvs.

such a beauty. . .

c & p were like two lil goldilocks trying out all of the beds!

the guest house served as wedding HQ.

and the scene of many late-night stubby's "meals." {foul}

as well as apothecary jar cleaning, escort card stuffing, shell painting, candle-making, and many other wedding tasks. . .

"what's gonna work?! teeeamwork!"

devo & sunny's bunks.  adorbs.

here's one sneak peek of the beautiful bride pre-gaming at 44 pine.

the ash was beyond stunning.

anyone in the market for an ack rental, i highly recommend these digs. check out the you tube video.

there was room for many helping hands. . . and gemma.  that says a lot.  not to mention, the space was very conducive to laughter.

stay tuned for a lot of gushing, i mean, genuine RAVING, about our indominatable vendors --  chocolate creative design, petal floral design &  white loft studio - are your ears burning yet?

and thanks for your patience with the sporadic blog. 

top 4 reasons i'm "fall"ing behind on the blog. . .

so yes my blog-slacking is OOC, i know!

so many balls in the air . . . and so so many exciting things going on.

just finished up L & J's wedding, a bon voyage brunch, and a froggy 40th.

and here are just a few highlights of things that have me a bit too excited for fall -- hopefully i can keep you posted on a somewhat regular basis while i juggle. . . 

number 1. {obvs}  the ash's wedding.  OMG so close!

there are fittings,  printings,  painting, slideshow creating, MOH speeches to be written, accessories to be chosen and meetings with THE most fabulous vendors to be had and it is all amaze at this stage of the game.   

cannot wait to share the deets!

{oh, and then there's the extreme makeover i'm perpetuating on my person.  SJLD back in full effect, as well as IPL treatments, teeth whitening & hair straightening. oh. my.}

number 2. the "R" party is not too far off either.  yikes!

i think i have my costume.  any ideas?

number 3.  C & P's 4th birthday party planning is underway, as well.  the wonderful jayme marie designs has been working around the clock on the invite . . . and it's pretty darn "fantastique", if i do say so myself.

and number 4. last but most certainly NOT least,  i might miss the wedding, the R, and the 4th, because THIS guy is filming in marblehead this fall.  i meannnn, really, could there be a bigger distraction?!  it's almost a joke.

will he come to the R party as RIDICULOUSLY gorge?  i'm creeping myself out on how much i worship.  and disrespecting horseface and jon's real life main squeeze while i'm at it.  sorry, you two.  why don't you commiserate over some vino while hamm and i discuss my inappropriateness.

yes, jon, that would make me smile, too.
