I'm off to San Francisco for a quick Thanksgiving trip. I'm so excited about seeing my old college roommate, CHRISTIN, and of course stuffing my face. I'm extra excited this year because my birthday isn't on Turkey day - I hate when I have to share my day with a bird.

I'll also be celebrating my GOLDEN birthday on Saturday. Need. New. Outfit.

Have a wonderful holiday!

thanks. but not really.

(yes, I'm still laughing b/c I genuinely think this is high-larious)

One of my blogger besties, and real life besties (true story -- we talk like all day), Christin posted this insanely funny and truthful, sarcastic, thank you post. 

I nearly died laughing, and just hadddd to re-blog it. I don't know if that's  thing, but just roll with it. 

Highlights of things to be "thankful" for...

 ...instagram because, let’s face it, no one’s life is as cool as it is on instagram.

...the super powered radiator in the building that heats our apartment to the temperature of a tropical rainforest. #itstoohot

Now go show my fave girl some love.

What are you not-Thankful for?

i want you.

Buy me. 

My golden birthday is in a little over a week, and I've been searching for the perfect handbag. I fell in love with Pashli, and Céline, but my bank account did not. 

Liz blogged about this bag in her gift guide, and I nearly stopped breathing. Isn't she perfect? 

Mom...Dad...Sister...Brother...you reading? Rally the troops and gimme this bag :) 

Please, and thank you.

fancy cocktail accessories

1//2//3//4

It's no surprise, I love Society Social. Roxy is a dear, dear friend of mine, and never ceases to amaze me. Her new cocktail accessories had me at cheers, and I had to pick up some goodies.

Oh, and the mirrored tray was something on my wish list, and at $30 I was sold. I think it will be best friends with my perfume bottles. Right? Right? 

P.S. I made a few tweeks to this here ole blog. Specifically some fun facts on my About Me page. I hope you'll visit :) 

happy friday!

I know I've been completely MIA from blogging, and it KILLS me. I hate it. I hate that I don't have time for it, and I hate that I'm not able to read as many blogs lately. 

Not that it's any excuse, but I've been dealing with some not-so-fun stuff, and my mind has been elsewhere. I try to keep the blog as light-hearted as possible, but we all know it's not always rainbows and butterflies. Real life can sometimes come kick you in the gut, and change your priorities. 

The plus side of this? My sister and I decided that amidst all the nonsense in our lives, we need to do something spontaneous and for ourselves. Sooooooo, we'll be taking a trip to my happy place, Paris, in December! 

Le swoon.  I'll be jet-setting for a week before Christmas, and my faux-French heart couldn't be more delighted. 

The past few weeks have reminded me that I'm blessed in so many ways, and when these road bumps come, having a positive attitude will make a less-than-desirable situation bearable. 

I hope you have a fabulous weekend, and do something for YOU, and only you. I support bubble baths, unnecessary glasses of champagne and dancing on tables. 

vote!

I believe one of the greatest freedoms we have as a country, is the freedom to VOTE. I encourage all of you to take five minutes today, read about the issues you care about and VOTE. We owe it to our country and each other. 

TUS elsewhere

SO sorry for the radio silence the past week. I promise to have major life updates tomorrow, it's been crazy, and unfortunately not a "good" crazy. 

But! In actual good/fun/blog news, I'm over on the lovely elembee today sharing my "at the moment" stories. Please stop by and show the always lovely/crazy talented Lisa some love! xo
