warm weather wednesday

NOT.  

it is soooooo beyond cold out. womp.  i decided purchasing a warm weather frock for my upcoming florida trips would help matters.  it sort of worked despite the need to be wearing gloves while online shopping!  here's what i came away with.

you likey?

shoshanna is one of my faves and is featured on gilt today!

stay warm . . .xoxo

{PS i truly love signing off with 'x's and 'o's but realize it's loserish because of gossip girl.  sort of don't care today so you can keep my kisses and hugs and hopefully not hear kristen bell narrating while you read}

hooray for lulu DK

huge fan of lulu deKwiatkowski (lulu DK).  her cheerful designs exude warmth and happiness.  would really love to splurge on a couple of her prints for the BGR. 

spying them on one kings lane cheered me up on an effing freezing very cold january day.

hope they make you smile, too.

dog·house

 noun \ˈdȯg-ˌhau̇s\

Definition of DOGHOUSE

2

: a state of disfavor —often used in the phrase in the doghouse

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}

wednesday walls: BGR

beds are here.  bedding is adorbs.  windows arrive tomorrow.

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!
