Dose of Dysfunctionality

Hello lovelies. Hate to do this but I need to get my mushies out of the way. Bare with me.

For those of you familiar with Blogger you know that you can check your "stats". Sounds fancy.  It's not.  I'm always amazed by the amount of people that actually read this blog. Seriously, why?  I love that you do. Trust me. I feel pretty bad ass at the end of the day when I see my stats.  Let's be honest though - I talk about nothing.  I blab to you about stuff I want but can't afford and chronicle in painstaking detail my design dilemmas.

Occasionally I give you a glimpse into my life - the stuff that goes beyond my obsession with DY and KS. The real stuff.  Those posts seems to resonate the most with whoever is out there reading this highly informative blog.  My most heartfelt posts {barf that I just wrote that} are the ones where my inbox blows up, my text alert beeps non stop and my FB messenger goes haywire.  I love that my stories make you want to share yours. I love that strangers write to me.  I love that I have forged friendships - real friendships because you are comfortable enough to share your secrets with me.

That glimpse into my life that I put out there for anyone to read has connected me with some amazing gals.  Gals that got me through the last year of my life.  I have lots to write about this....to be continued....

So thank you for reading. I'm glad I can give you your daily {weekly is prolly more accurate} dose of dysfunctionality. xox

Arm Candy

There is a fine art involved in stacking bracelets.  Color, texture, size, shape - these things are all important when trying to create the perfect stack.  To say I am OBSESSED with "stacking" is an understatement.   Unfortch, I don't have any gems of wisdom on perfecting this trend.  I've yet to master it myself. I'll work on it.  Stay tuned.

DY. Obvs.

.  Unless I rob a bank the gals below will prolly never grace my wrist.  I mean c'mon. I can't even pronounce the name of the Hermes bracelet that I am currently crushing.  Collier de Chien.  Really?  How about Spiked Weapon de' Death. Whateves.  No matter what you call it I'm in love with something I'll never get. SHOCKER or more appropriately SPIKER. 

Cuatro Cartier and uno Hermes. {just brushing up on my Spanish}
Holy Cow.  This stack o' shininess is worth more than my house.

Good day buddies. xox

Kate. Tory. David. Worship.  These beauties are definitely the three best friends that anyone could have. xox  

Be-Jeweled

Howdy on this dreary Tuesday afternoon.  Below are some jewels I'm currently coveting.  I only included necklaces and bracelets because just how I feel everyone should drive a Volvo I also think that diamonds and pearls are the only acceptable accessories for the ear.  As for your fingers, anything other than diamond rings is simply unacceptable.  Not kidding.  DY if you are reading this - you are still my number one love and I  STRONGLY believe that all females should be dripping from head to toe in your jewels.  I'm just diversifying.  Nice word choice huh?

Anthro never disappoints. 

Gorg.

 

Hi Tory. 

Wrap Bracelets.  Worship.

Loving this J Crew number

 Hoping these beauties be-jeweled your day.  xox

Hope

Hi.  It's me.  Been gone awhile.  These last two weeks have been shear madness. Would love to fill you in but you'll just have to wait for my book.  He haw.  So I'm not a mushy person. Today's post may be borderline mushy.  Yuck. Or maybe it's just real.  You decide.


I rarely watch t.v. and I don't read magazines. I prefer to spend my free time eating, surfing the web for things I can't afford and playing with my peeps.  With that being said it's weird for me to post about a celebrity.  I'm not really up on the scene when it comes to Hollywood.  The last time I swooned over anyone famous was during my NKOTB days.  Please Don't Go Girl. Best. Song. Ever. Love ya Joey.


What is it about Giuliana and Bill?  They make me laugh and cry all in a one hour episode. I have to admit I've only seen two episodes of their show and I'm hooked.  I can't relate to much of G's life aside from her struggle to have a baby.  Watching her makes me hopeful.  Hopeful for my fellow IVF'ers and all the gal's out there that struggle with infertility.  So thanks G for taking your struggle public.  Your story helps others.  Waaaaaa. Getting too mushy.

I'm also hopeful that for mom's day someone special will give me this lil' treat...

Lot's of hope today.  It's just a hopeful kind of day. xox

Wheaten Wednesday

Today's post is dedicated to Brody, my soft coated wheaten terror.  Bro, Bromance, Blokie.  I have a few other names I use when he is testing my patience but if I swear on this blog my mother will call and yell at me.  No joke. 


Where to begin. Brody is 6 year old hyperactive, anxious wheatie.  My Bro stories put Marley & Me to shame.  Marley's got nothing on the Bro.  Unfortunately, my furry friend has taken the back seat since the arrival of my little gal.  Poor guy didn't even make my Christmas card last year. 


Always lurking in the back.  Never center stage. Woof. Woof.
 

 BRODDDDDDDDDDYYYYYYY

Since I'm on the topic o' Wheaten's.  Check out these Petite Wheaton rings from my other love, DY.

Have a wonderful Wheaten/Wheaton Wednesday. xox

The Glamorous Glutton

Lots to discuss today so I'm gonna jump right in.  Health food fanatics - GO AWAY.  Spare yourself. Truly, you will be horrified if you read any further.  This post is dedicated to processed meat.  Salty. Wholesome.Goodness. 

Stuffing your face in style.  Yes, it's possible and quite simple too.  Accessorize.  If you throw on a few key pieces you'll be slothin' in style.  No, slothin' is not part of the English language for all you grammar geeks but it's my language and quite appropriate given the topic of discussion today.

Distract em' with jewels.  This is crucial.  Take the focus away from the grease dripping down your chin with bracelets, bangles or rings.  I'm partial to bracelets.  Stack a few DY's and your good to go.  These 3 pieces rarely leave my bod and are clutch when I'm sitting at Kelly's with 3 grilled cheese sandwiches in front of me.

And no, you don't need to sport DY to sloth in style.  Whatever suits your fancy.  Just accessorize.  That is the bottom line here. It really makes all the difference when overindulging in processed meats and cheeses.

My next piece o' advice.  Sport a scarf.  A scarf always adds a little somethin' somethin' to your ensemble.  Actually, it serves dual roles. 1) it spruces up an outfit 2) you can use it to wipe your mouth when that grease starts a drippin' or when your fingers are coated in ketchup.  Wicked. Smart.   

And now for my fav tasty treats.

Grilled. Gooey. Goodness.

Peal Hot Dogs. Devine.

Second best food evah...after hot dogs.

Need. ASAP.

 Unbelievable.  My life long dream to own one of these beauties.

Some other things to consider...

When you order a burger - skip the lettuce, tomato and onion.   Get extra cheese, bacon and a side of mayo.  Oh, and don't opt for a salad over fries.  That is just plain stupid.

The appropriate way to eat a hot dog is without the bun.  Naked.  Trust me.  Skip the bun and you'll be able to eat twice as many dogs. 

We love vegetarians.  More meat for us. (whoever came up with this saying is genius)  Happy slothin'!

Top o' the Mornin

Oh hi.  Just thought I'd stop by and write a word or two. Sorry for the lack o' posts but the weather has been spectacular and since I don't own a laptop (no lie) I've been outside absorbing the rays with my lil' lady instead of sitting by my computer. 

I figure since St. Patty's day was only a week ago it's still appropriate to give a little shout out to all things green.  Yes, I had every intention of writing this post last Saturday on St. Patty's day but the sun just got in the way.  Oops.  However, I did get some nice color on my face and for that I will not apologize.


On we go to take a peek at some green gorgeousness.  Your Irish eyes will surely be smiling at these beauties. I think.  I hope. Mine are.

 Well hello KATE & KATE

 DAVID YURMAN - I love you. Forevah.

  VOLVO. Everyone should drive one.  Seriously.

Green greatness.  Green with envy yet?
