pantalones fantasticos

so what should i stroll around in this weekend?
let's be practical, people.  there are two facts about this weekend : it's going to be COLD and I'm most likely going to fall down.

lucky for moi, there are so many festive trousers to choose from this holiday season!

here are a few faves . . .some from my closet and some from my "pinterest closet"{aka never gonna happen} . . .

cafe capri in red tartan

gap legging cords


milly tuxedo pant
metallic skinny jeans
j. crew bow cord

7 for all mankind velvet


calypso sequin pant

happy holladays

sorry hoot has been on hiatus.  
survived thanksgiving weekend-  
bloodys & bagels took the cake- with host, MO {aka the gram} clinching MVP.  one for the books with a performance reminiscent of 'the year i ruined Christmas' circa 2000.  but that's a story for a different day, perhaps even a different blog.

 anyhoot, had a bah humbug moment yesterday when i publicly {via fb status} denounced sending Christmas cards in November, and apparently my wees are immune to the damn elf on the shelf.  wompwahhhhhh.  needless to say, i was not exactly in the Christmas spirit.

but then something magical occurred - my dear sweet oh so stylish ex-PS christina of c.k. & Gray texted me the link to this doormat.


and now it's GAME. ON.

with T minus 2 days until nantucket stroll, this is one jolly hoot reporting.

{i may or may not have thrown up in one of those christmas trees last year.  doh! again, a story for another time. . .another blog}

let me know what you'd like to see on lil hoot this december. lil hoot gift guides?  guest gift guides?  you name it, and i'll do my best to make it happen.

merry merry!

monday fun{ny} day: thanksgiving

as i prepare to host my divorced {liberal} parents, {conservative} father in law and his girlfriend {first time meeting her}, my sister's multi-cultural family {including my 9 year old nephew aka george's nemesis}, and random pre-divorce friends of my parents, i found this to be appropriate.
i will be indulging in the usual excessive amount of bloody marys thursday morning at the o'neils annual bloodys & bagels party in anticipation of this blessed event.  
obvs.

have a safe and happy holiday week, everyone!

frenchie friday: bathtime

i went on a frenchie pinning spree the other night.  I have some amazing pics of G & LL to share soon so i think my excitement led me to get carried away on pinterest.

anyhoot, mine need a bath. . . badly.

maybe i'd feel better if i dressed like this.



but i'll probably just stay inside and eat, drink, and watch TV.
stay warm & safe, everyone.

VOTE.

and then eat a cupcake if you want . . .
