What I’m Diggin’… Right. Now.

(Clockwise from top left)

1. This hot little number from Rent the Runway.  This dress from Tibi, usually priced at 380 smacks (that’s like 100 Number 7s from Taco Bell), is yours for just $50 via the genius rental system on RTR.  Purrfectly sexy, sophisticated and just downright adorable.  Check out the back – can you handle?

2. Not sure why it took me so long to see White Christmas, but better late than never I guess, cause I finally saw this movie last night and LURRVED it.  Bing Crosby and Rosemary Clooney… oh, my heart pitter patters.  Love the music, love the Vermont setting.  I’ve just started a new yearly viewing tradition.


3. OPI’s sparkly nail colors – Duuuuuude.  These are a party on my nails!  They are just oh-so sparkly and oh yeah, did I mention they hide any chips/nicks?!  (Perfect for this girl, who has the affectionate nickname of “Pigpen” courtesy of her fiance…)

4. This pic of purdy, long, thick hair which makes me appreciative of my surprising self-control and patience while growing my hair out.  Not that I don’t covet my fancy hair extensions, courtesy of Weaves Plus (get on it, girl!)…….

Here’s to a productive Monday full of Christmas shopping, an intense cardio workout and sending last-minute holiday cards to friends and fam (aka, sitting on the couch eating leftover lasagna, brownies and watching Barefoot Contessa! Baaaahaaaaaaaaaaaaaa)

Saturday Morning Laugh

This is my nephew, Fox:

Er rather, my cousin (who’s like a sister) Jill’s little red nugget.  This is Jill & me when we were kids:

Fox may be the cutest, sweetest, smartest and most hilarious child I know.   A few years ago (meaning, when Fox was 2 or 3), I pulled up to their house in the mountains, and he ran over with lettuce in his mouth and said, “Aunt Steppanie Aunt Steppanie!  I’m an herbivore!”  And then, 27-year old me had to scratch my head for a second and remember what that word meant.  Nothing like being out-IQ’d by a 2-year old.  Anyhow – Jill has started posting Fox’s most hilarious quotes every week on Facebook, and they are too priceless not to share.  Here’s a sampling of this week’s:

“Today Fox said:

-Little Rad Rocking Hood.

-Can people marry ice?

-How much does a house weigh? Dad said about 33 inches.

– Can I decorate the christmas tree with my gun?

-When is christmas? What will we wear?

-I need something to drink. My mouth is saltied up.”

Could you die??  PS:  this is his little sister.  I may officially have the cutest niece & nephew, ever.

Happy Saturday!
