I listened to this song a bunch of times today.

Girl, drop it to the floor / I love the way your booty go:

P.S. Oh hey, you two.

One time, I went to an event at J. Crew and Jenna Lyons told Paul and me that she loved 'our look' and then her assistant emailed us and asked if we wouldn't mind sending some photos so that she might include us in a catalogue sometime and now my daily daydream involves rehearsing for when J. Crew rips off this ad campaign:

New Year's Eve Makeup!

Can't decide between matching jewel-toned eyeliner + mascara, or sequined lids (like these):





Via Into The Gloss.

In order to make a bunch of Confetti System-like piñatas and tassels for New Year's Eve, I ordered five 50-foot rolls of mylar and a pair of Martha Stewart fringe scissors:

I also ordered a case of gold party hats, so that everyone can look like this:

I'm really excited to hang these up at The Whistler, but I'm even more excited to take them down on January 1st and put them up in my house.

A style tip from Rihanna: THE SHIRT BELT.

Marni for H&M!

I skipped Versace, but I am absolutely, positively, 100% waiting in line for this one. Give me those shoes, those bracelets, and that polka dot suit RIGHT. NOW.

Vegan Vacation

Usually, Paul and I only eat meat treats while we're out of town, but this week we went on a Vegan Stay-cation:


Korean barbecued at Chicago Kalbi with Lena and Ben.


Cooked Thanksgiving Turkey a la Martha for eleven of our friends.


Shared fourteen incredible courses at ELideas with Molly and Timmy.

Even though it's been a really, Really, REALLY delicious week, seven days of meat and dairy have left me feeling like shit and served as a really great reminder to myself that I'm happiest when stuffed full of food that doesn't come from animals.

Well, I just found out that this is what the head of women's design at J Crew looks like:


FOR REAL. I'm really into the idea that it's pretty much like a Young Jeff Goldblum picked out most of my clothes.

Also, this exists.

YES.

While I'm pretty sad Andre 3000 isn't in this video, it's kinda awesome that someone from Fayetteville is. Who am I kidding? It's TOTALLY awesome. Seeing J. Cole in this video makes me realize that I am but three degrees of separation from Beyoncé. That's practically sisters.

Also, again with the Kelly Rowland! I am loving you a lot lately, girl.

HALLOWEEEEEEEN!

Halloween is probably my favorite holiday. Right after New Year's Eve. And Thanksgiving. And maybe Christmas. Oh, and also the Fourth of July. But the degree to which I love those other holidays is so much more than the average person that I actually love Halloween more than most people.

This year I've had a lot of trouble choosing a costume, and last year I last-minute-half-assed it, so the pressure is really on. First, I thought about going really conceptual. Would anyone get it if I dressed as the rainbow drug cigarette in Rihanna's We Found Love video?


Then I came across this photograph of Kelly Rowland and thought that maybe a not-so-original but totally classic costume would be a good call. Plus it would give me a chance to practice some Rockabilly hairdos.


Instead, I've decided to go with a Martha Stewart number, à la The REAL Halloween Super Store (American Apparel, duh). But I might still do a Rockabilly hairdo.


However, my real costumery this year is being spent on a super secret look for a one Paul McGee, who is finally and forever never ever working Saturday nights again!
