Happy Tuesday and Bachelor Update

Happy Tuesday! Last night's Bachelor was a doozy. I am absolutely loving this season and Juan Pablo. And this little situation below....how precious are these two (four?). 

Glad we got the really really drunk gal episode out of the way. I can't help but feel bad for Victoria, but glad Juan Pablo handled the whole situation so beautifully. 

Last week, I forcibly made my husband and sister fill out our final four Bachelor ballots. At some point I'll be organized enough to make a bracket in the spirit of March Madness, but for now, here are our predictions. Mary is the only one still in the game for now. Really wishing I had subbed Cassandra for Alexis, but oh well! I had a hard enough time deciding the my final pick as you can see.

My sweet precious husband brought me some baby's breath over the weekend and I think it looks so sweet on our dining room table. Just goes to show that you don't have to have the most expensive flowers for them to look nice...and cheer you up! And, baby's breath is such a great January flower, clean and simple.

Best Dressed: Golden Globes

I've been down and out with a cold of late, so this weekend was even less eventful than usual, but luckily the Golden Globes were on and there was some surprisingly good fashion methinks. Some stinkers too, but let's keep it positive, right?

Hands down best dressed in my opinion was Lupita Nyong'o in Ralph Lauren. Just breathtaking. I love a cape on a dress and a red dress just always looks amazing. Bonus points for looking great with a half-shaved head too, not many folks can pull that off on the red carpet or otherwise.

 

Kerry Washington pregnant is just about the cutest thing ever. Love her in this Balenciaga. She's always stunning, and this might be one of my favorites on her ever. Just. So. Good.

Olivia Wilde in Gucci. I mean, are you freaking kidding me?!? How do you look even better pregnant than you do normally? No really, this is not a rhetorical question, I need to know. And her hair looks amazing too. Is that your real hair? Again, I would love to really know the answer.

Probably my new favorite person to look for on the red carpet is Allison Williams. I don't think she can possibly look bad. She's so super pretty, which of course helps, but I really think her elegant but stylish choices set her apart from the pack. Not sure who designed this, but I LOVE it!

Monogram of the Moment

I will admit that I completely stole this idea from a few ladies I overheard at Williams-Sonoma. The idea is to monogram a house number on a dishtowel or, in this case, cocktail napkins. Kind of cute, don't you think? And, it's such a great housewarming gift.

Weekend Snaps

Happy Monday! This weekend I went to my second black tie party while preggo. 

You can't really tell from this photo, but I wore this dress...

It's sold out on Shopbop where I bought it, but I also like this one. It was super comfy. I can't say the same for my shoes, but I think that's just the way it's going to be from here on out!

I bought my first spring purchase, this J.Crew popover. I can't wait to wear it. Just looking at it makes me happy! Isn't it pretty?

I'm currently on the hunt for a diaper bag, because I hear you need one for a baby, but my goodness they are not cute. The cuter of the not-so-cute ones I have found are this and this, and they are still kind of pricey for unattractive nylon bags with pockets, so now I'm thinking I'll just buy a new tote bag, like this (very expensive) beauty...

I still love the Gigi New York one though, and it's so much cheaper...

Enough about shopping, here's a cute photo of my fur babies from the weekend. Poor Luke's expression in this is priceless, but he's a little large (and stinky) for the bed. 

And, you know what the first Monday in January means, right?

It's Bachelor time! I'm so excited to see Juan Pablo as the Bachelor. I think the language barrier is going to be endlessly entertaining and he really seemed like a sweet guy on Desiree's season. The ladies look like the usual, but I love that in their ABC bios among the eight facts featured is whether or not they have tattoos. Oy.

Have a fabulous week! 

Happy New Year!

Happy 2014!

We rang in the new year with a fancy dinner with friends and had a lot of fun. Well, as much fun as you can have on New Year's Eve super pregnant. 

I was kind of sad to pack up our Christmas stuff, especially this little guy I got at The Nutcracker...I definitely ate the cookie and all of his friends. 

I'm not making any resolutions, because I mean, I'm perfect already I think they are destined for failure. But I did get a Vitamix for Christmas and have been making green juice like the one below. So that's my kind of resolution...drink more greenery...and eat less Nutcracker cookies.

Next up to try are these juices from the latest issue of Us Weekly. 

And, I found some fun new drapes at Target this past week. I love yellow, but I sometimes find it hard to incorporate into home decor because it's so bright. These curtains are my total new favorite yellow thing and they were so cheap!

Monogram of the Moment

I monogrammed this toiletry case for my sister-in-law for Christmas. I just love the way it turned out!

Happy New Year's Eve! Wishing you a safe and fun evening of celebrating 2013 and looking forward to 2014!

Weekend Snaps

Happy Christmas week! I can't believe it's here! I hope you are having a wonderful and relaxing Monday. This weekend aside from running last-minute Christmas errands, I pretty much took it easy (a theme lately).

I did some monogramming...

I got a precious gift from our godson...

I got all of the presents re-wrapped and spent some time with the cutest dog you've ever seen...

My mom, sister and I went to see The Nutcracker...

Wishing you a wonderful Christmas Eve Eve!

Christmas Decorations

Benji is at the vet today, and he's super pissed about it. So instead of Benji Wednesday I thought I would post our Christmas decorations. I can't believe Christmas is just a week away!

Our star topper is totally crooked, so please enjoy this cropped photo of the bottom down of the tree. I vowed this year to make sure you could barely see the greenery and I think I just about succeeded. I bought all of the silver snowflakes on One Kings Lane for next to nothing at the after-Christmas sale. It's amazing.

Our stockings…left to right Benji, W.A., me, Luke (with the huge rawhide bone) and Elsie

 Both of these pretty table runners are from my mom's old Christmas decorations, thanks Mom!

Actually, these little boxes are hers too. 

And, in the cuteness department how precious are these sushi baby booties? Uncommon Goods has a ton of cute and original baby gifts. I'm really trying to curb my baby goodie buying, but I might just have to have these!

Monogram of the Moment

This year I monogrammed dish towels for our friends for Christmas. I bought the red and white ones from Williams-Sonoma and then customized them with different families' names. It took a while to get them all done, but I think they turned out very cute!

Weekend Snaps

Happy Monday! After Luke unwrapped ALL of our Christmas presents, we decided to send him to camp for a week, and so it's been pretty quiet with just these two around...

We went to a tacky Christmas sweater party. This beautiful Nutcracker number was my mother-in-law's back in the '80s when apparently these types of sweaters were quite in vogue.

We went to a Mavs game on Saturday, and visited Victory Park. I thought this was funny considering how big I feel these days...

I wore my new favey fave necklace to church on Sunday. It's 30 percent off right now (as is everything at J.Crew) with the code GIFTNOW.

I might take the J.Crew sale opportunity to stock up on more of their maternity leggings. They are super awesome and pretty much the only pants I can wear now…

I found this awesome necklace online at Neimans the other day and it makes me wish I had an illegible signature. 

Is that not the total best? You send off a photo of your signature and they make it for you. The only thing is it has to be a continuous line, so if you pick your pen up while autographing (like I do) it wouldn't really work. Still it's pretty awesome.
