january blues: the SAG awards

appears most everyone got the memo about wearing blue last night.  
sort of like the sprinkle i went to yesterday where 7 of my nearest and dearest were wearing the same pink blouse, myself included. {obvs} 
and speaking of that sprinkle, the guest of honor is carrying the naked person in her belly way better than miss busy.  but props to busy for owning it.  beats wearing sweats for 8 months {ahem, i may have done that . . .}



 some other gals feeling the blues.











and BEST dressed, blue or not, goes to. . . 
the stunning marion cotillard


DIORable!


oh, and hello there.  BC jumps on the navy bandwagon, too.  


frenchie friday: Baby, it's cold outside

i live for stories like this one { via yahoo. }



French bulldog named Baby, left, attends the feeding of wild boar piglets at the Lehnitz animal sanctuary outside Berlin, Germany, Wednesday, Feb. 15, 2012. Six little pigs have found a new friend in a maternal French bulldog named Baby. The Lehnitz animal sanctuary outside Berlin says Baby took straight to the wild boar piglets when they were brought in Saturday, three days old and shivering from cold. Sanctuary worker Norbert Damm said Wednesday as soon as the furry striped piglets were brought in, Baby ran over and started snuggling them and keeping them warm, even though they're already about her size. He says the piglets' mother was likely killed by a hunter and the litter was found abandoned in a forest. The piglets are being bottlefed right now and should be released to an animal sanctuary when they can feed themselves in about three months. (AP Photo/Michael Sohn)



i heart Baby!  
george would probably try to eat these poor little orphan piglets.  looloo is not so much a fan of puppies and/or human babies, so she probably wouldn't be cool like Baby either.  so it's decided then, we won't be rescuing any wild boars this weekend.

stay warm and happy weekend!

flash mob thursday?

excuse the rando posts this week but i think the frigid temps may have frozen the right side of my brain. {the left side went during my binge drinking of the 90s.} 
anyhoot, saw this on FB this am and it made me smile.  i sort of worship flash mobs, as corny and trite as that may be, they are right up there with pictures of smushy french bulldog puppies on my happy-meter.  and who hasn't day dreamt of an amazebalz welcome at the airport?  

enjoy!

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.

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.
