well hello monday. you sure snuck up quick.
Hope you all had a fabulous weekend!
I kicked the weekend off with a bang. Literally. I shattered my iPhone screen last week by dropping it in the bathroom during a break at a work conference. urggghhhh. I had my phone in my back pocket so I could respond to my many text messages and calls go on instagram immediately during the break and I was SO SMART to remember to take it out of my back pocket so that it didn’t fall into the toilet (totally have never done that before…. ever…. yep…) so I was holding it in the crook of my neck (because AH where do I put it!!?? there wasn’t a shelf or anything in the stall?! and ew I don’t want to put it on the ground?!) … so I’m holding it with my neck and of course I drop it and it lands perfectly face down and shatters. I was like
I then sliced up my fingers for the next 24 hours while I used it before I could get it fixed. damn it all to hell.
anyways, in case that THRILLING story didn’t get ya all riled up, some sightly more interesting weekend things :
I mean, damn. I am such an ar-teest with these collages.
I made cookies this weekend (recipe to come) that tasted so similar to my moms secret recipe (I’m sure she’d give it to me…. maybe…. but I haven’t asked for it so I still don’t have it!) and Kip and I baked and ate the entire thing of matter in two days.
cookies are now banned from being made until december.
we went to pottery barn to return a few things and fell in love with so many things. their holidays items are amazing.
we are in need of a new coffee table, but their apocathery tables are a-wee out of budget.

we treated ourselves to this red cable knit throw with fleece on the other side. It was a splurge for sure, but they are on sale for 20% off, Kip loves red and “there should be red in every room” so it was an easy thing for him to agree to, and the red also perfectly made it fit into the “holiday decor” category. we are already obsessed.
my favorite thing that I found was the set of quotations in the center on the top row. I fell in love with them.
but OH WAIT, they aren’t for sale. makes me so damn mad. so now I am on the hunt…. if anyone sees them or their store sells them let me know 🙂 I can’t find them anywhere online.
the tartan plaid picture frames were also to die for. I will be snapping up a few as the perfect Christmas gift.
we went to mexican for dinner with friends and crushed a few margaritas.
the guacamole trio they served had CRUMBLED BACON on top of one of them.

BACON. it was incredible.
If you know me, you know I love me a quatrefoil. Anything with a quatrefoil has to be mine.
We were shopping at HomeGoods and the second we rounded the corner I started walking towards these lamps immediately,

and before I could even get to them Kip was saying “You are so easy I knew you were going for those!”
So naturally, they had to come with me.
I’m also currently debating this incredible side table from Ballard Design – the price is too good to be true, I may have to order it to see if it fits the space.
and a few weekend wears ::
rag and bone jeans (on sale 20% off) // kate spade striped sweater (similar kate spade), similar steal, another similar steal // tory burch flats (on sale!)
gap cable knit sweater // piper lime leather pleated skirt {similar} // j.crew necklace // zara shoes {almost identical}
I’ve been doing lots of copy-cat outfits from pin-spiration outfits
I’m going to start doing some more home updates these next few weeks too.
the guest room (in the outfit photo above) was the previous owners sons room, hence the baby blue color. it is now our guest room my TV room, my closet, and mostly my room where I throw everything and close the door and then I walk in our bedroom and I’m like
“Kiiipppppp your clothes are everywhere!?!”
“Kiiipppppp your clothes are everywhere!?!”
that kippppp is to be read in the voice of caitlin saying RIIICKKKK from the SNL skit.
if you know read Kiiipppppp like that before even reading my notes, please come over and be my best friend.
Mmmm-k this post was way long.
If you made it to the end, you go glen coco.
Just found your blog today, and I love all of the GIFs you incorporated into today's post- just perfect for a Monday pick-me-up. I look forward to following along 🙂
Riiiccckkk can I get my ears pierced Rick? Rick, I'm terrifffieeedddd.
(sadly, or awesomely, my bosses name is Rick and I'm Caitlin so I giggle alot about this skit)
Also I know we are just meeting through this comment- but please tell me you downloaded the RHW emoji app… I plan on using the "slut pig" emoji wayyy too much.
haha this is hilarious. you are so lucky for that name combo 🙂 I need that app immediately!
I wanted to let you know I found the quotation mark book ends at my pottery barn in Indianapolis Indiana
I'm back on the hunt for them now that I know they will sell them at the store! Thanks for letting me know!
I was browsing the anthro website, saw these and immediately thought of you (because that's normal). I'm assuming you already found them but just in case you didn't: http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/product/home-new2/33722729.jsp#/
that is so sweet of you!!!! thank you so much!!!
As if having a shattered screen wasn't bad enough, it had to cut your hand as well. That's rather frustrating. So, what happened to your phone and fingers? While your fingers may have healed up pretty nicely, your phone may take some time to get fixed. You seem to be very busy, and a day without a phone must be very hard, both for you and those contacting you. Hopefully you had a spare phone for such an occasion.
