Happy Monday Everyone!!
Just a quick follow up from Friday’s Post :
I got lots of e-mails and comments about Bethenny and Jason, so I just wanted to say that I am relieved so many of you are as conflicted as I am 🙂
Perhaps we should start an emotional support group…..

also, I did a post Saturday with my favorite Guilt Free Chocolate Dessert
so check it out for a sweet Valentine’s Day treat!

What did we think of the Grammy’s last night??
Kelsea Ballerini is 100% Dorit from RHOBH’s doppleganger.
During her performance they were straight up TWINS.
watch part of the performance here
I like her a lot and think she is adorable.
I like her a lot and think she is adorable.
I know I may be struck dead for saying this,
but I just don’t really care about Beyonce (and haven’t for quite some time)?
And I really didn’t care for any of her performance last night.
There is nothing more obnoxious than someone treating their pregnancy like the Second Coming of Christ.
WE GET IT. You’re pregnant. You aren’t the first or last person to carry a child. Or two.
and at the end of her peromance we MUST have a full standing ovation and 20 seconds of just everyone admiring her.
(I can hear people gasping and cursing me already….. how dare I!!!)
but enough about the Grammy’s……
I did a rare thing and went to the mall this weekend,
and it was a serious reminder why I NEVER go to the mall.
and it was a serious reminder why I NEVER go to the mall.
It is truly torture.
and that’s before you even think about having to try things on in those horrifyingly lit dressing rooms.
Free shipping and free returns from the comfort of my couch is ten times better.
editors note :
I went to the mall so that I could go to Lululemon to get shorts for Kip for Valentine’s Day.
I gave them to him this weekend and told him I had debtated getting him shorts from this company called Birddogs where its built in underwear and you can workout in them or wear them as swim trunks.
(Kyle from Summer House’s company)
AND GUESS WHAT HE SAID.
“Yeah. I know Birddogs.”
WHAT?!
So now I am truly wanting to order a pair of these shorts for him to try….. and I am thinking it’s because they have this cute seersucker pair that would be a cute swimsuit for him, but in reality I think it’s because I am a wee bit obsessed with Kyle and think he is hilarious so I want to support him by buying a pair of shorts. read : I am a lunatic.
But really….. the website is hilarious. There is humor everywhere you look.
On the DESIGN tab they talk about the
Ball Pouch : It contours instead of mashes, with enough room for a summer squash.
and
Go ahead. Dip your cone into these Dippy Pippy’s.
(It clearly doesnt’ take much to amuse me.)
And they offer 3 length options too so you can go as frat as you like and show as much pasty man thigh as your heart desires.
but I digress…..
so I went to the mall…..
There were a few things that I saw and loved while diverting my eyes in Nordstrom and trying not to look left or right but go straight to Lululemon to buy him his present.
I wouldn’t have looked twice at this top online – it looks unflattering and matronly,
but in person it is the most beautiful color and cut.
It was entirely sold out in the store but luckily they still have it online!

Same thing with this dress….
I wouldn’t have stopped scrolling online because you can’t see any of the details,
but in person the lace is simply stunning.

This navy coat was EVERYTHING.
It looked very Tory Burch to me?
It was GORGEOUS and looks like it costs like a million bucks.
Directly across from Lululemon was Zara…. soooo I kind of had to take a peek.
Let me tell you, it was a nightmare.
Let me tell you, it was a nightmare.
It’s just so overwhelming in there which is a shame because they have SO much good stuff, but I was in an out as quickly as possible (except for the 20 minute line to check out. literally. couch + free shipping for the win once again).
I loved this pink ruffle top + the black and white striped shorts, but decided to wait.
The top was $50 and I wasn’t sure it was worth the price.
I did snag this floral romper that looks like a dress.

The dress/romper is under $50 and the detailing at the back is super cute.
It has a large key-hole opening and then a black bow.

I was trying to figure out if I could wear it with my OTK black or grey boots to dress it up for nighttime and think I like it with both?
So that’s why I have the weird photo with two different shoes 😉
I can hear my mom saying out loud “that is hideous” as she reads this already…..
Two other pieces I loved:
This navy open vest/waistcoat that will look super cute with jeans, a tank, and booties.
// ZARA WAISTCOAT //
And this striped ruffle tee.

Some Monday Motivation + Links :
I am obsessed with the show This Is Us, and I know I am not alone.
Chrissy Metz ia already down 100 pounds and uses the show as added motivation.
and no spoilers, but if her character does what they are hinting at, I will be very upset!
I gave the “What I love About You” one a few years ago!
This Is Us is a huge favorite for me. I can't watch it without getting emotional. I never eat popcorn with it because I know I'll choke while sobbing. I'm also not a huge Beyonce fan and all my friends make me feel like I'm some kind of lunatic for not liking her. I mean…I'm sorry? No I'm not. I miss Destiny's Child. Other than that, nope. Also that romper looks fantastic on you! I definitely thought it was a dress. It looks comfortable, and I like it with both boots.
I completely agree! I miss Destiny’s Child big time! Glad I’m not alone with the Beyonce thing 🙂 And thank you about the romper! xo
I am so with you on the Beyoncé thing. In my opinion, she stopped being cool when Destinys Child broke up. Say My Name > All the Single Ladies.
I will never get sick of Say My Name! Preach! Destiny’s Child was way better!
I hate Beyonce and always have…and I am not afraid to shout it from the roof top! She irritates me with her slow talking and pretty much everything else.
Haha I love this – and slow talking drives me NUTS too.
I am with you. The fact that Adele broke her own Grammy to share with Beyonce infuriated me. Adele is 100x more talented and humble than Beyonce!!
I know – it’s like, Adele, this can be your moment you do not need to share it! She is definitely 100x more humble and talented!
NEVER understood the Beyoncé hype. Truly overrated. But this SNL skit always makes me laugh http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=rGxe83lXgJg
Hahaha I had never seen that! Thank you so much for sending. That really is how I felt hitting publish on ANYTHING even remotely bad about her. People act like you're committing a mortal sin.
OH my GOD! I soon agree with you about Beyonce!! you articulated my feelings about the performance perfectly! SOO obnoxious that she project herself in that way. Nothing humble about her in the least.
So glad I am not alone in the Beyonce Is Not The Queen Club 🙂 She definitely needs to learn to be more humble!
Can I get an A-MEN about Beyonce!? I've never really understood the hype. She's acting as though she is the first person to carry twins. And perhaps I'm extra salty because I *may* still believe the conspiracy that she didn't birth Blue Ivy.
A-MEN! And YES I am COMPLETELY with you that I still believe the conspiracy! And I think that’s another reason why she’s making a huge to do about this pregnancy. Ugh so annoying!
Agree 1000% about Beyoncé. Ugh!!! She's so high on herself it's BORING!
So glad I am not alone…. I have been living in fear for no reason!
I SOOO agree on the Beyonce thing! I don’t get it either!!!!
Yay we aren’t all her little soldiers! Haha glad I am not alone!
