I cut up garlic for crockpot chicken taco bowls this morning and someone hit a skunk outside my office.

So what I’m saying is, I smell strongly of garlic and skunk. at 9:09 am.

Happy VDay, folks.

There is literally nothing better than coming home to a happy little dog with a wagging tail.

that is all. I highly recommend you all get one.

My favorite passage on love. From the Velveteen Rabbit by Margery Williams.“What is REAL?” asked the Rabbit one day, when they were lying side by side near the nursery fender, before Nana came to tidy the room. “Does it mean having things that buzz inside you and a stick-out handle?” “Real isn’t how you are made,” said the Skin Horse. “It’s a thing that happens to you. When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then you become Real.” “Does it hurt?” asked the Rabbit. “Sometimes,” said the Skin Horse, for he was always truthful. “When you are Real you don’t mind being hurt.” “Does it happen all at once, like being wound up,” he asked, “or bit by bit?” “It doesn’t happen all at once,” said the Skin Horse. “You become. It takes a long time. That’s why it doesn’t happen often to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But these things don’t matter at all, because once you are Real you can’t be ugly, except to people who don’t understand.”

We celebrated Chris’ 26th birthday this weekend.
We met before we could legally drink. It felt sort of weird to realize that he’s twenty. Six.
When I was a kid I though you had millions of dollars and a Barbie convertible by the time you were 26.   Not so much. But he did get a killer chocolate mousse cake and some new shoes!
(please note the Hangover playing in the background and the dude mimicking my hand gestures. magic.)

yessssssssssssssss.
if they come onstage with Nicki, I’m dead.

unfortunately Chris found this hat in storage today. And then he saw Adele win a bunch of GRAMMY’s, so he’s been warbling around the apartment practicing his British accent.

Excuse his word choices and his lack of skills. For someone that is so great at impressions, he is AWFUL at accents.

I feel really strongly that Chris would absolutely dominate SNL if the right person ever caught him in action.

Cozy little Sunday.

jelizabethl asked: What 5 clothing items do you wish were in your closet right now? Shoes are included in this list.

Excellent question.

1. Bright yellow skinny jeans

2. A perfect black silk blouse,it frustrates me that this doesn’t come in black (so I ordered it in fuschia, natch)

3. Leopard print calf-hair wedges

4. A Theodora and Callum scarf (just like Julie’s)

5. A soft black yoga wrap, with no thumb holes or logos or anything

I am currently focusing on wealth, however, so these items will stay on my wish list :( What 5 items are you coveting?

Ask.

In which I share my totally non-credible opinion of Fashion Week street style.

Rocked my new necklace to the Onyx Moonshine GRAMMY launch party last night.
Cheers to fantastic clients that are making Friday such a great freaking day.
