Your DJ Ain't No DJ.

Tonight there will be Girl Talk and sisters and champagne.



Tomorrow there will be treats and lounging in the new apartment.


And then there will be regular blog posts again. Because it's all official and over with and moved in. I live with a boy. Cheers!

Stop Making That Face When You Sing.

Lea Michele is pretty annoying, but her sartorial choices lately are on point. This Michael Kors is gorgeous, as was the Marchesa she wore at the Emmy's. I wonder if she dresses herself as well as her stylist does.

Perfect Bar Cart

This is the Hostess Bar Cart from Society Social and I am very in love.

It's so functional, yet stylish, and a little different than what you've seen before in the world of bar carts.

It's a great piece for any home and it comes in a billion colors, both conservative and super bright. I am strongly considering replacing my new bar cart with this one. So cool.

Porkucopia

Today a topic close to my heart. Cured meat. I LOVE pancetta, prosciutto, guanciale... I could go on. Well-made salumi is so worth every single penny. While perusing the somewhat new, yet very spectacular, GILT Taste I saw the Porkucopia package from La Quercia and it stopped me in my tracks. This is the real deal people. Upon further research I don't know how I haven't heard of La Quercia. They know their stuff. This would make an amazing gift for anyone you know who wants to sing this song all day. Like me.

Cheers to the Freakin' Weekend.

Rihanna references are still cool right? Whatever. Anyway this depicts what I'll be doing. My dearest friend has procreated and we are all going to be celebrating Baby S. She's a star I tell you.

Cheers to the family you make for yourself.

J.Crew Picks for Fall

Once upon a time I lived five minutes from J.Crew. I did not have money. It all went straight to J.Crew. I should have just worked for them and saved my self some trouble. But as a result of those poorly funded and well dressed days I have a long-term healthy relationship with my J.Crew credit card and that is invaluable. What I'm trying to say is I love this season's pieces. Everything feels so classic yet still fresh and on trend. That's why I give them 30% of my income. Jenna Lyons is my life.

DIY Butcher Block

This post on making your own butcher block type kitchen cart is amazing! I'm dying over here. JECIV just emailed it to me, which is a subtle hint that he wants to replace mine, and I love him for it. We've been little DIYers lately (more on that later) and this might just be next on the epic To Do list. The To Do list has three subcategories. It's not sane.

Anyway, this is an amazing project and tutorial from curbly and I fully support it. I especially love the rack on the side with S hooks for kitchen utensils. Very clever indeed.

Picky Palate via Some Pink Salt

I can't believe I didn't post these Oreo Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies immediately. They were so ridiculous and insane. They were absurdly good. I am very grateful that my family is kind enough to indulge my need to bake things no one ever needs to eat. But that's not the case here because you need to eat these. They will make you smile, and they will make your family smile.

Bangs

I love bangs. I always go back and forth between cutting them in and growing them out. They are a saga. I have a theory that ladies love bangs and men hate them. I'm itching for a hair change though, and I won't compromise length or color, sooooo bangs.


My obsession, Emma Stone looks adorable with bangs. These are the bangs I always want. JECIV hates them. My sister hates them. I just can't lose my devotion though.



These Claudia Schiffer bangs are the bangs I once asked for, I liked them, I don't remember if anyone else did.

These are probably the bangs that will happen. Compromise bangs we'll call them. I bet I chicken out.
