Pantone Christmas Balls

Okay I love Christmas. I don't technically celebrate it, but I love all things Christmas and especially, of course, the decorations. Even though I don't have a tree, I've never been closer thanks to these amazing Pantone Christmas ornaments via Design Crush.



I NEED THESE! I suppose I can always GIVE instead of receive these, right? Isn't that kinda the point?

These would be so adorable just in a row on the mantle. It's very...Live Colorfully.

Finally Fall

Thank GOD I am not sweating any more and Fall is officially here! I know this not even from the weather report, but from the pumpkin coffee, bagels, muffins and scones invading my life and stomach area. Bring it.

My pumpkin spice creamer filled my mug this morning and I could not have kicked off the work week any happier. I love all the holiday flavors!



This weekend I made my favorite pumpkin dip
after picking up a tin of THE best ginger snaps only at World Market. This is an amazing fall treat and easy to bring to a party. Definitely make this! It's even better after it's been in the fridge for an hour. You will love it!

YAY FALL!

Sesame Street is Awesome

I love the pop culture skits they create. The Mad Men and 40 Rock ones are great. But the new Glee parody, "Welcome to the G Club" is great. I don't even watch Glee but I know the characters these muppets are portraying. It's Great! Gorgeous! Glittery! Grand.

I'm Back!

Hello! Miss me? I've been on a blog break but here we are again.

I'm kicking off my return with a great recipe that would go just perfectly with fall TV. This Lemon Pasta with Roasted Shrimp is so easy and the flavors were amazing. I added grape tomatoes and roasted asparagus for more flavor and color. Here's my bad phone pic.



I am so ridiculously excited for ANTM All Stars tonight that not much sounds better than eating this on the couch and watching these fan favorites get makeovers.

I'm truly enjoying the Hot Mess that is Lisa D'Amato. Remember her? Here is one of my favorite scenes from her, "eat a cookie!"



I've missed you all!

The Most Gorgeous Menswear Ever

Lattidadada. SnoopCattyCatt on Etsy is in the houssssssse. These ties and bowties for cats = awesome. Mr. Awesome wears a lot of bow ties. And now my Mr. Furry will wear some, too. *success rate TBD







Look at all of the choices!




Bow ties. Ties. Customizing. Cats. Yes. Awesome.

New Flats

I am very loyal to my shoes. Meaning I wear them until they are worn to the sole and falling apart. When I looked online yesterday to replace my beloved Urban patent red leather flats, I was disappointed to see they were no longer available. Looking for an inexpensive replacement (I seem to be quite hard on such beloved shoes), I was thrilled to find these perfectly suitable replacements for just $14.99 at Target. They fit just fine and come in the red I wanted, plus pink, purple, black, and taupe (purchased).



This bow flat is super cute, too, and even though summer is winding down (please wind down quicker), a yellow flat will help you keep a summer swing to your step.



YAY TARGET!

Big DB's in The Big D

If you haven't watched/hated/yet loved Bravo's Most Eligible Dallas, I suggest you tune in tonight. It's not like you actually need to have seen the first two episodes because I'll sum them up for you right now. It might be editing, but these fools are fake, vile, and the worst stereotype Dallas has to offer. There are a million more eligible and normal and down to earth people in Dallas, but alas, perhaps not as vomit-inducing as Bravo likes to cast. That being said, as I told Mr. Awesome, I'm not actually rooting for any of these people (except the pets that Tara saves), but I will definitely watch every episode. Hahahaha as if I watch TV to be smarter (see: Toddlers and Tiaras and new fave: Dance Moms.)

Anyway, I thought this recap of the last episode was worth enough to be today's awesome. My friends Rachel and Greg sent me this gem. My favorite part: "Also, the spelling of Brittnye’s name is stupid." <-- Truth.

I'll be tuning in tonight with some of my friends who are actually quite eligible in Dallas.

Cheers!
