i totes have baggage {obvs}

exhausted from celeb-stalking for the majority of the day.  {apparently stalking is a full-time job}
they were shooting in sugar on top's backyard so i shamelessly showed up on set at 8 am with george & loo in tow,  as well as C & P.  the crew loved the pups and adam sandler totes gave g & loo the nod.

anyhoot, now having some downtime {i.e. online shopping}

jonathan adler on OKL today.

puntastic. {and true}

calypso also having ridic sale.

need.

maybe the movie stars will notice me if i wear really high shoes.

spring fling

had a chance to get gussied up on saturday and wore my new elva fields necklace.

WOR-SHIP elva.

wore it with this gray chiffon number from calypso sans belt.  obvs.

 {via LG's closet- thanks, liz!}

also dug these bad boys out of the closet.  sorta cheesy i know but they work well with the gray.

since i wasn't purchasing a "new " dress or shoes -  i splurged on hair & make up.

here's the look i went for . . .

so i didn't look exactly like this twenty-something supermodel but it was a solid attempt by the gals at andrew michaels and rouge cosmetics. {maje props for not laughing in my face when i told them i wanted to look like this beauty}

 btw, loving my new lip candy - paula dorf's flamingo

and NARS new larger than life lipgloss in Odalisque 

now gearing up for the main event.  a very special shelby gets married this weekend!  i pretty much die of excitement. . . 

if i can stop jumping up and down long enough to post this week, i will.

oh and SJLD in full effect.  OBVS.

loverly lilac

i find myself coveting my neighbor these days because her gorge lilac bushes are blooming.  lucky for her they are out of arm's reach, and unlucky for me they are just out of sniffing range.

NOTHING brings me back to my childhood like the scent of lilacs.

we had a beautiful bush in our yard in my very special little town and the smell brings on nostalgia overload.

i'm not a huge fan of purple but if it's just the right shade of lilac, it's a go!

especially on princess cake.  

obvs.

but us commoners might have to settle for these options to bring a lil lilac into our lives.

to leave you with a deep thought {via boomie}

“April is the cruelest month, breeding
lilacs out of the dead land, mixing
memory and desire, stirring
dull roots with spring rain.”

― T.S. Eliot, The Waste Land
guess i'm not the only one feeling nostalgic.

pre-wedding wednesday

this will be the last post on a wednesday you see that's not titled WEDDING wednesday, as i plan to write a bit about the upcoming weddings I am currently obsessing over.  it's been 7 years since I was in the thick of it with my own nuptials, so i am having such. big. fun. anticipating the joyous occasions on the horizon for two of my fave ladies EVAH.

okay so, that being said, not much time for a proper post today. . .

recap of v-day, CBC had no clue what "the 24" meant.  {obvs.}

poor horseface was forced to read the blog to find out. 

so i went ahead and bought myself this glorious sweater from calypso {already sold out today}

i've been eyeing this beauty for months and it finally went on sale.  hope it's fab in "real life"

also ran to ikea this am with one ms. very preggers sugar on top!  she was trying to induce labor while i ran around filling my cart {and hers} with a gazillion things i don't need but plan on thoroughly enjoying, like these canopies for C & P's beds.

this is great in theory but i'm pretty confident it won't end well after the garland fiasco.

womp.

happy hump day!

miami tuesday

so the white stuff one the ground outside just makes me want to buy spring & summer stuff instead of things i might actually need for the next few months.  natch.
