TV
As much I have to say about TV, I'm actually quite tired of it. As long as the weather is chilly though, it's just easy. Note to self: test drive some books or podcasts.
VPR:
It's really just a show of incredibly attractive gas lighters. We've been loving the old episodes at night, when we need to decompress.
RHOBH:
OMG snore. Why do I keep watching? It's like I don't know when to give up. I do love tuning in for the haute couture and the lifestyle. RHONY starts back up tonight, and I'm strangely not that excited. if you read this blog, though, then you probably already have your VCR set up with a freshly rewound cassette tape. The housewives just haven't been doing it for me, lately. I'm sorry, who am I?
I don't think I'll have a choice, but to watch the new Jersey Shore. Someone in this house is a huge fan. It's not me, the toddler, or the puppy dog. It never did much for me. Of course, back when it started, and was really popular, I didn't need mindless entertainment, so I might actually enjoy it.
Other:
I decided to start watching Justified, via Amazon Prime (free streaming), because I decided that I really like Timothy Elephant (SIC) as an actor. I'm loving it so far. It reminds me of a modern Western, a genre that I always enjoy.
MATERIAL GIRL
I was recently drinking and shopping with friends at the King of Prussia mall. It really was a dream scenario. We made our way into Henri Bendel. I'd seen the bags and accessories before, but never in the store. It was love at first sight. I truly loved everything that I saw in person. We also went into Louis Vuitton and Burberry, and save for a Burberry trench with hot pink piping that I'll never own but found to be beyond gorgeous, that was just more for fun. The Henri Bendel merch was a tad more attainable, however, as in I would consider asking for it for Christmas or birthday.
When we were planning our wedding, my mother-in-law (whom I consider a wonderful friend) did our flowers and helped with a lot of the decorative touches. She, along with her friends, dubbed my style "classic with a twist" and I'd say that's still pretty accurate. Give me everything in black, but throw some stripes or a pop of color in there. That's kind of what the Henri Bendel products remind me of.
HOME
Speaking of "classic with a twist," I am crazy for the home decor trend of all white everything (walls, ceilings, most of the furniture), and bright accents throughout. I am always scouring Pinterest or watching HGTV, to get ideas. I just can never get enough of anything home decor related. That said, I'm no expert, but I know what I like, and think of making our house a home as the most fun little hobby.
Ladies of London's Caroline Stanburry's home in Dubai. Do you know of her? Is she not the most fabulous?! Andy Cohen, if you're reading this (and I know that you aren't), we need more Ladies of London, please.
You guessed it, this is via Pottery Barn Kids. I think that everything about this room is perfection. It's not terribly different from Lyla's room now, actually.
LIFESTYLE
Holiday weekends kick my ass. They just do. Well, vacations do too, so needless to say, I am off of the summer bod wagon. I've been off of it since like 2015. I'll get it back in gear, but it's true that it's harder as you get older. My husband brought up the idea of us trying a keto lifestyle. He's never once mentioned any kind of change in eating seriously, so he might be onto something. I understand that it takes some serious commitment, and I'm not really one to drastically ever change my diet, because I don't think that it's mentally good to worry so much about it. Usually, I'll cut out junk and work out more when I need to.. but it's caught up with me. We could use a good reset around here, and relearn some better habits. So, anyone out there done it or have any keto tips? For me to be successful at something like this, I need ALL of the information. Until we dive into it, I'll be obsessively researching keto.
Until next time XO
