blackmilk: for the beach loving nerd in you.

I don't even like star wars but I kept a cardboard c3po in my house for a year (before Timbo made me throw it away) because it was gold. And a robot. Now YOU can BE your own c3po!
Running more to my tastes, movie wise, here is a LOTR suit. Yep, I use just the letters because that's how much I love the books. I'm so busy reading all the million pages I have no time to say all the words of the title. This suit. My precious.

What is up with Black Milk and their CRAY swim suits? Browse HERE. It doesn't stop at swim suits (get a Gandalf dress if you want, and you totally do!), or these couple books. There are cosmic leggings and map dresses for a variety of epic fantasy ladies!

marie turnor: snak attack!

I just like things that look like other, boring things. I have the glass ziploc bag for chrissakes. Timmy has a leather lunch bag and I've been wanting to get a couple more, you know eco conscious and all that, and then THIS! A marriage of eco friendly brown bagging and expensive items modeled after regular every day items. I will take one. Or two, cause I really want a brown one and a metallic. Three, that giant one is rad too.

the picnic - $185.
the snak - $117 to $275.
the feast - $280.
Other options (can there be a knock off of something that knocked off LUNCH BAGS??)
brown bag it - $85.
leather paper bag - $130.

sun room makeover.

For some reason that little bit of forest green paint you could see in the sun room drove me crazy. We used to paint our scary basement floor that color. Shudder.
SO! A change is needed. It bothered NO ONE else, so it was all my project.
Timmy helped me gather supplies. He says my form is excellent.
Coat one. Break. Coat two. Looked like a crazy swimming pool.
AND! Done. Easy peasy. We laid down our FLOR tiles and project- checked off.
We are following a plan that Dean helped lay out for us. She da best.

target: shoes and prabal.

I was cruising the Target today and they just continue to KILL it. These shoes are amazing! Love the Marni-ish Patricias and I want to get into the strappy stiletto game without investing too much so the Vintas are perfect. All at Target.com. Also, I wasn't into the Prabal Gurung until I saw the whole look HERE. I am really feeling the all floral everything.

welcome home, pirate ship chandelier!

Timmy and I threw a teeny, tiny dinner party to welcome this newest addition to our dining room. Pirate Ship Chando! I've wanted it since the moment and I saw it and in the topsy turvy, can-i-have-it-please, i have cash?, oh everyone else hates it, world of the Merchandise Mart it is now. MINE. We showed it how we do with a winter menu: tomato cashew soup, packet fish, gratin.

My favorite soda is Diet Coke! What's a pirate's favorite soft drink? AARRGGGHHH-C Cola.
Ha.

jorah, three ways.

Jorah, majestic in crouching cricket pose in front of the tree. Jorah, festive in his Christmas jammies in front of the tree and presents. Jorah, gazing into the depths of Tommy's soul with some intense tummy time. Which is your favorite?! I can't pick!!

champagne and sequins: how'd we do?

This year's Champagne and Sequins. Was it the best year ever? Let's review what we did right:
The addition of the Family Dinner Band was VERY well received. What a wonderful moment.
BUT. When we get right down to it, something was missing.
Oh well. It was fun! We will just have to try again next year!!! Thanks for coming!!
