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.

and brush up on the globes here.

{PS affleck got robbed on the oscar director nod for argo.  that movie is legit.  routing for him on sunday}

top 4 reasons i'm "fall"ing behind on the blog. . .

so yes my blog-slacking is OOC, i know!

so many balls in the air . . . and so so many exciting things going on.

just finished up L & J's wedding, a bon voyage brunch, and a froggy 40th.

and here are just a few highlights of things that have me a bit too excited for fall -- hopefully i can keep you posted on a somewhat regular basis while i juggle. . . 

number 1. {obvs}  the ash's wedding.  OMG so close!

there are fittings,  printings,  painting, slideshow creating, MOH speeches to be written, accessories to be chosen and meetings with THE most fabulous vendors to be had and it is all amaze at this stage of the game.   

cannot wait to share the deets!

{oh, and then there's the extreme makeover i'm perpetuating on my person.  SJLD back in full effect, as well as IPL treatments, teeth whitening & hair straightening. oh. my.}

number 2. the "R" party is not too far off either.  yikes!

i think i have my costume.  any ideas?

number 3.  C & P's 4th birthday party planning is underway, as well.  the wonderful jayme marie designs has been working around the clock on the invite . . . and it's pretty darn "fantastique", if i do say so myself.

and number 4. last but most certainly NOT least,  i might miss the wedding, the R, and the 4th, because THIS guy is filming in marblehead this fall.  i meannnn, really, could there be a bigger distraction?!  it's almost a joke.

will he come to the R party as RIDICULOUSLY gorge?  i'm creeping myself out on how much i worship.  and disrespecting horseface and jon's real life main squeeze while i'm at it.  sorry, you two.  why don't you commiserate over some vino while hamm and i discuss my inappropriateness.

yes, jon, that would make me smile, too.

worship.

draper.  obvs.

this is lil hoot's new motto.

and if john hamm wants to stop by and discuss, then so be it.

march "MAD"ness

i cannot possibly start the week without commenting on how fabulous it was to see mr. draper last night.  the 2 hour premiere of madmen seemed to go by too fast.  i thoroughly enjoy the witty dialogue and genius commentary but let's face it - i would be happy to tune in to watch john hamm stand on his head for 2 hours.

hot. as. {that thing i actually don't find that hot}

second to swooning over don, i love seeing all the fashions that joannie, betty, peggy and the gang are sporting.

and luckily, a lot of current fashions are echoing that era.

milly is one of my fave designers evah- always with just enough  'retro' flair.

thinking of buying this next one and channeling my inner "mrs. draper".

if i could only get this guy to swing by and bring me to the mall.

no need to beep the horn - i'm ready for ya . . .

yes, please. thank you.

monday must-sees

#1 - the EMMYS!
congrats to kyle chandler and jason katims {writer} from the best. show. evah.
loved that lyla got to hand coach the gold statue.

bummed amazebalz tammy taylor didn't win but she looked stunning, really.
see all the night's highlights here.

FNL also got robbed for best drama but mad men is tough to beat.

{and if tim riggins wasn't available to fluff and fold in my luxury laundry room, i wouldn't mind taking don draper through the spin cycle.}

#2 i needed about 6 more weeks to hit up all my fave stores in NYC this past weekend, i did snag a couple goodies in the short amount of time between peeing my pants and kareoke until 5 am. totes loving american apparel's circle scarf for this time of year. {it's their uber-soft t-shirt material} i grabbed one in neon pink. {obvs.}

#3 so many frenchie sightings in the big apple {as c & p like to call it}. totes missed my pups. check out this blog i just stumbled upon.
miles to style with tagline 'a leg up on fashion'. puntastic.
this gal with adorbs taste does ridic inspiration boards combining fabulous picks for her and her pup. love-love!

have a great monday- hoping your blues are not remotely as bad as mine. i miss you already, shelbys.
