Weekend!

 

Happy Friday, friends!  Can you believe it's October??  I always remember when they'd say that time moves faster the older you get.  Well, Jesus: time is flying.  And I'm not even old.

That scares me. 

But what doesn't scare me is that my best gal pal is turning three zero this weekend and we are GOING DANCING!  I can't wait to sip champagne and celebrate Bridg the best way I know how (she always wants to go dancing and I always poo poo it).  

I feel very lucky that I have friends in my life that keep me grounded, keep me laughing, and always make me feel loved.  Bridgid, I found you a bit late in the game, but I couldn't be happier having you in my life; simply knowing you're there makes things better.  Thank you for being an incredible friend!

Have a great weekend, ladies!  Drink wine and dance and tell your friends you love them!

Otherwise, read Friday Links:

• A sad account of admission from the LOST writer Damon Lindelof.  Nothing is surprising and, in fact, it's kind of refreshing to hear him actually say it.  But still...
• Not the same genre of show AT ALL, but I LOVE this second season show and it seems I'm not alone!
• I heart Mindy Kaling.  
• This is a bit old, but I didn't post last Friday when I meant to post this: I also heart Miranda July. 
• The most thoroughly sweet proposal.  (Thanks, Melissa!)
• An unsolved mystery I am STILL thinking about. 
• Perhaps a bit late in the season, but doesn't this sound delicious?
• And a playlist right up my alley.  Please send some love to Kate, she has a big hurdle ahead.

Pinkin' it with Stripes.

I'm especially drawn to this outfit today.  Doesn't she look killer??  It kinda looks like Beetlejuice got some flava.

It's really too hard for me to choose a favorite part, but if I had to I'd go with the rockin' pink blazer with gold buttons.  BE STILL MY HEART.

I only wish I could see her shoes and bag.  I wonder if they look something like this?  Or maybe something like this?  Or these!  I'm sure whatever they are, they look fab.u.lous.

The Holy Grail.

YOU GUYS.  There will be an auction for a pair of THE ruby slippers*.  As in, Dorothy's actual ruby slippers. 

If any of you really, truly love me you'd throw in a couple mil to get the job done.  Could you imagine owning these?  The little girl inside me squeals every time I think about it. 

The Wizard of Oz is one of my Absolute Most Favorite Movies Ever.  It never fails to entertain and always reminds me of my fabulous childhood.  I have so many memories attached to this movie: my first professional show (I was a poppy and Oz resident at Atlanta's Fox Theatre, thankyouverymuch), my college essay (before Joey Potter wrote hers, thankyouverymuch), not to mention the delicious caramel popcorn my mom would make whenever we watched it (gooey, not crunchy caramel popcorn, thankyouverymuch). 

I hope whoever ends up with these pretties appreciates them greatly.

Otherwise I will drop a house on them.



*please know more than one pair of shoes were used in the film, so the Smithsonian does have a pair that is on display** for everyone else in the world who doesn't have three million dollars to throw at a pair of shoes 

**on display at the Smithsonian unless they are out on tour, which OF COURSE they were the one time I found myself in DC

Outfit Tuesdays: Cream and Mustard.

Cream and Mustard. by justagirlandherstuff featuring wingtip shoes

I kinda look like a Vikings fan here, but there's nothing better than some mustard-colored knits in the fall, yes?  Throw in some oxfords and you're good to go. 

Also, if you totally disregard the Balenciaga bag, most of these items are affordable.  Wahoo!  And it ain't even a frugal Tuesday.  Give it up, sistah!*

*sorry 'bout that

Even More Fall.

Sixty degrees and rainy, this girl makes it look gooooood.  It also reminds me how much I want a pair of short duck boots.
