Etsy Fav: ZipporaLux

As the shop owner puts it, these are two of my favorite things- cat and stars! I have to agree. How rad are these celestial cat prints by ZipporaLux?

Unfortunately, she is on vacation right now but you can buy this last image in the form of a shirt. Yeah. I already bought one for my boyfriend.

Ultimate Babe: Ryan Gosling

We are way overdue for an ultimate babe and lately I've been a little hung up on Ryan G. Mainly because I have been following Feminist Ryan Gosling. Have you seen it? I just love the "Hey girl" meme and invented dating persona that goes along with it. It's so much fun to imagine Ryan as your boyfriend "Hey girling" you all the time and asking to cuddle.

Thanksgiving Recipe Medley!

I can't believe Thanksgiving is already upon us! For the past 3 years I have been going with my boyfriend's family to Yosemite. It's such a cool tradition. Last year it snowed and it was so gorgeous!


His family is huge... I'm talking 70 people at Thanksgiving dinner! This year, my boyfriend and I ended up in charge of organizing the food (which is as you can imagine a huge task). Of course, this sent me recipe pinning frenzy! Check out my favs below.

This image made me laugh. It's supposed to rain all weekend and my week just flew by. I have been so busy! Sorry for the lack of posts. I plan on eating soup and watching movies. I hope everyone has a great weekend!

Little Red Holiday Dress

It's about this time that I start obsessing about finding a new dress for holiday parties. A logical person would look in their own closet but I wore what's in there last year! There's lots of options for holiday dresses out there but I am especially fond of 'the little red dress'.

Via
How adorable is this Alexandra Grecco dress for the holidays? I think it is the perfect shade of red. Plus, it has just a touch of sheen that gives it that 'holiday magic' feeling. It's flirty but still conservative enough to wear in front of family and coworkers. 

Via
If you want a little more va-va-voom, check out this number! It's siren red and bustier/cut-out top are sure to get you some attention but it all balances out with the pleated skirt. I like that it has an edge to it without falling off the cliff if you know what I mean.

Nothing says holiday parties to me like brocade wiggle dresses and with this one being a lovely shade or merlot you just can't beat it! Put on your fake eyelashes and channel your inner Joan for a sexy 60's holiday look.

Or if you really want to channel Joan- why not buy a replication of her holiday party dress? You too can look like Christmas present in this gorgeous vintage reproduction. Pair with matte red lips and a sway in your hips!

It's Friday I'm... a Lazy Blogger!

Pinned Image

Sorry for the lack of posts this week. I think I have blogger's block. Have you seen this blog about school lunches? It's called "Fed Up with Lunch" and it chronicles the journey of a elementary school teacher who goes undercover to expose the state of America's school lunches. She ate a school lunch every day of 2010 and took pictures of them all. It's horrifying and fascinating. You cans start at the beginning or just skip around. She's since revealed her secret identity and now has book deal. It's exciting how writing a blog like that can actually make a difference. Do you remember your school lunches? I used to have to eat them and I remember that they were disgusting. Most days I ate nothing at all. They were probably much better than these lunches though. I think we had a salad bar. 

It's supposed to rain this weekend- which is kind of exciting because we have had a bit of an Indian summer. Although , I'm supposed to go wedding tomorrow night and I think it's supposed to be outside... I hope it doesn't ruin their plans or my outfit plans! Have a great weekend everyone!
