we tried to have loo sit up straight for her portrait but she just wasn't having it. and well, this is just a much more accurate depiction of the little pork chop.

post "call" contenders
as previously mentioned, i'm getting prepared for when bradley needs a date for the globes on sunday. will have to act fast. zoe probably won't be able to squeeze me in so i'm just going to have to buy online. obvs.
i'm predicting a lot of emerald green, as it's already been proclaimed 2013's "it" color. and being a newbie on the red carpet, i don't want to step on any toes {literally and figuratively} so i'm going to avoid.
 |
| matthew williamson pleated silk-chiffon gown |
 |
| matthew williamson coral |
love love both of these first two options.
 |
| oscar de la renta |
too much? not really my color and could possibly knock over bradley with this. no-go.
 |
| sophia kokosalaki |
love this white number but scared i'm going to botch sophia's name when annoying julia rancik is shoving her mic in my face.
 |
| oscar de le renta |
too conservative?
 |
| roland mouret |
love this color but maybe too boring?
 |
| jason wu |
worship. wu.
 |
| marchesa |
and love me some marchesa but i bet this dress weighs a zillion pounds. and i can't really do backless so much. and I am being completely realistic in this scenario.
ahh, screw it, i'm totes going emerald green like my other besties on the red carpet.
 |
| oscar via neiman marcus |
oh and this is charlotte's pick.
 |
| monique via neiman marcus |
not too shabby considering phoebe's choice.
yikes.
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.
{PS affleck got robbed on the oscar director nod for argo. that movie is legit. routing for him on sunday}
more red deliciousness
as promised - more options!
totes don't need to wear red for the QOH but i think i'm feeling it this year. perhaps it's that i'm gearing up for valentine's day. and i heart heart's day.

OMG. . .
lindsey foley would never speak to me again. but i sort of worship this rachel antonoff. obvs. too bad i'm not 12 or it would be perf.
i think i've exhausted all the red options. thoughts? stick with the parker?
or explore more colors next week? you know, just for kicks?

target tuesday : effing george
so had to make a quick run to target this morning because george ate C & P's boyfriend, Grady's, sneakers {and prized possessions} while he was innocently here for a playdate yesterday. i needed to replace those bad boys STAT. hopefully G is none the wiser. don't let him read the blog today, sugar!
GEORGE! he is OOC. good thing he is . . .
GEORGE! he is OOC. good thing he is . . .

anyhoot, while i was there i picked up the altuzarra tumblers for Grady's mom to compensate for pain and suffering. {and then i felt some pain & suffering of my own when i saw the entire neiman's collection is now 70 percent off - doh!}
so grabbed these swim caps for our trip to mimi's to lift my spirits.
to match this. obvs.
i have a serious issue with little girl's swimwear.
serious. issue.
P.S. keeping george on a tight leash today. . .literally. horseface is expecting his playoff tickets in the mail at any given moment. after *the incident* of 2011, this "leashing" is mandatory.

monday fun{ny} day: BGR blues
dammit why do i want EVERYTHING? and i want it all now. right. now.
prematurely switched the girls rooms yesterday because the beds are being delivered on wednesday. so now they are sleeping on mattresses on the floor like squatters. to add insult to injury, made a last minute target run for pillows , mattress covers, and since the bedding hasn't arrived yet, twin sheets. they had hardly any in stock and wound up buying clearance green and orange Christmas tree ones for ten bucks. yikes. the room is not shaping up as i'd hoped.
