just sayin'

i meannn, i can't.  i don't have a source for this gloriousness.  which is probably a good thing or else i would go there and steal it. {and it's inhabitants.  obvs}

is it weird that i sort of miss paris?  just a little?

 obvs i will keep my actual dogs in my house. {the horse can sleep in the pink castle in the woods with the westie if he doesn't shape up} 

but love these built-ins for my besties.  

i will use the best in show wallpaper for something at some point.

worship.

happy weekend, everyone!  let's all {ahem, CBC} do our best to stay out of the dog house.

it's a marathon, baby

it's hard to believe it's been almost two whole years since the launch of hoot.  still operating in the red {obvs} and LHH {lil hoot headquarters} has become a dumping ground, for well, everything, instead of the creative oasis I had in mind.

{and martha still hasn't called!  doh.}

luckily, i have a supportive horseface husband who often tells me 'it's not a sprint, it's a marathon'

 i'm also grateful for the inspiring words i come across on pinterest.  but it's time to stop pinning - and time to start cleaning, organizing, and finishing something i started.

you've heard it before and you may quite possibly hear it again- but this saturday i am dedicating to LHH.  and tonight i'm going to attempt to update my facebook page and parties on the blog. 

i'm just putting it out there so that maybe somebody {myself?} holds me accountable.

in the meantime, here's a few things that lit a fire under my ass, maybe you can benefit from them, too.

P. S. martha, today would be a great day to make that call, because i really don't feel like doing any of the things i've talked about in this post. {totes not at all kidding}

january tuesday blues-day

is it just me or does this tuesday feel like a monday? 

i guess it's possible to have a touch of the blues every day in january . . . no matter what day of the week it is.  on the bright side, the month is half-way over.  holla!

during my hiatus last month, gossip girl had it's series finale.  you may or may not have watched, as the show morphed into something fairly terrible {from a not stellar start in the first place}

but i think we can all agree that the fashions alone made it bearable.  and blair's elie saab wedding dress rose to the occasion . . . TDF!

happens to be blue, so thought i'd take this opportunity to share.

oh, and serena's louboutins?  yes, please.

bee tee dubs, when are we going to see more of blake & ryan's real life wedding pics? this glimpse of the marchesa gown simply is not enough.  i digress . . . {obvs}

gorge.

happy tuesday blues-day!

{oh, and if you didn't watch, yet are curious as to who 'gossip girl' turned out to be, click here for the big reveal.  yikes.}

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.

connie

claire gets props because her baby is still wet.  she like gave birth in the limo on the way to the globes and she looks like this.

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:
