These Are A Few Of Our Favorite Things

Helllloooo, we’re back!  So we know we’ve sucked at keeping the blog updated lately, but what can we say, life keeps getting in the way.  In a good way!  Steph’s jumped head first into her rad interior design job, and I’m watching from the sidelines like the proud bestie I am.  And oh yeah – I’m TWO HOURS AWAY. Which means weekend trips to explore So Cal/shop/eat copious amounts of Mexican have commenced.  Life is so good.  ANYWHO – for the first time in a while, here’s a list of what’s getting our rocks off at this very moment:

1. This dress, this dress, this dress. Until you try on a Rachel Pally maxi dress, you just won’t understand how incredibly soft and pajama-like they are.  Trust me and Steph: We’re obsessed (I even outfitted my bridesmaids in RP!):

2. This Tempur-pedic eye mask that will literally change your life. In a span of a week since my hubby got a pair I’ve watched him go from being a super light sleeper – tossing and turning every night and waking me up – to falling instantaneously into a deep, restful sleep.  Meaning I now get a deep, restful sleep.


3. Am I the only one who’s shown up on a friend’s new apt doorstep only to realize I should’ve brought them a housewarming present and didn’t?  Or any friend’s place for that matter who’s having some people over?  Yeah, I need to get better at that. And I will, starting now, with this: The perfect hostess gift:

4. This succulent monogrammed planter box, perfect for those of us (ahem) who have a wee problem keeping plants alive.  I’m especially digging this to hang on our balcony:

5. The newest addition to my running playlist: Calvin Harris’ new club banger “Summer”:

Happy Friday everyone!

We know it’s Valentine’s Day… which is precisely why we’d like to offer a quick respite from all the saccharin for you singletons out there:  how about a little less pink, red & puppy love, and a little more dreamsicle-colored eye candy?  Eh?

I should also throw my favorite orange jumpsuit in the mix…  probably my all-time favorite rental.  It’ll come in real handy next time I get thrown in the slammer.

While we’re talking about favorite things, this is my favorite new jam:

My favorite dreamsicle-colored dog… never complete without at least one eye booger – bless his heart:

My favorite peachy cocktail of choice – especially in the presence of my fairy godmothers:

Whether you’re celebrating with someone you love today, lost someone you love, or are hoping to find someone you love someday – there’s always truth and comfort in the words below…  it’s why we post them every year.  Bonus points if you read them in a British accent:

“It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often, it’s not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it’s always there – fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. If you look for it, I’ve got a sneaking suspicion you’ll find that… love actually is all around.”
