it’s with great sadness that I report
that I arrived home from work yesterday to no cable and internet.

after calmly trying to reset everything myself, 
my sweet husband volunteered to call the cable company.

I just love how helpful and accomodating they always are.
always. so wonderful. I wish I could take them to lunch by the end of the convo and be real life friends!! 
(dripping sarcasm). 
soooooo…… our cable friends informed us that “it may or may not be an outage”, but who knows, and they will be by on “Friday from 6-8 to see what they can do.”

(just sit and visualize about what my face was doing whilst I hear “Friday night what time do you prefer?” coming through the speakerphone)

sooooooo 
perhaps there has been a Christmas miracle and all will be right with the world when I get home tonight. 
perhaps I will go crazy and go to starbucks to get wifi so I can get Coffee Talk up and running /slash/ to watch last night’s episode of DWTS online with bated breath to see if Farmer Chris got sent home finally.
perhaps my husband and I will realize that a week without internet and cable will be a lovely “unplug” and rejuvenate our honeymoon stage in our marriage.
or…. perhaps kip is thanking the Lord that I leave for Scottsdale tomorrow because if he had to sit and talk to me for 3 days and nights he might go crazy…… I don’t know it’s a tough one to call……… 

keep me in your thoughts during my difficult time 🙂 I jest….. kind of.

:: tuesday randoms ::
happy cinco de mayo ! 



sorry for yesterdays complete and utter lack of a post that I still posted 🙂 I make poor decisions when I wake up in the morning (NOT a morning person over here). 


some of the things I had wanted to share……

Stassi – Queen Beyotch of Vanderpump Rules – was at my neighborhood bar Schoolyard the other night when she was in town with her boyfriend.  A random girl I struck up conversation with at the bar this weekend said she talked to her and I was like WHY WAS THAT THE ONE TIME I WASN’T THERE. 


 I was also thinking “wait…. do I just look like a TV addict with no life because why did you randomly share this with me?”.  But then she also said I looked 5 years younger than I am and was surprised at my age…….and I was thinking, I like you tipsy bar girl.   I like you.
but for real HOW DID I MISS THIS. kicking myself. 

you know that episode of friends where monica begs susan sarandon as Days of Our Lives star to slap her? I would be like PLEASE TELL ME OFF! BITCH ME OUT! PLEASE!

Speaking of age….. have you seen that How Old App that you take a picture of your face and it guesses how old you are? People have been posting it on instagram and it’s hilarious.

ha. okay. 

I’m too scared to do it because if it says I look way older it will ruin my week and send me running to a plastic surgeon to a bottle of wine.
I’m sure on our girls weekend this weekend in Scottsdale it’ll end up happening, and we will retake photos 15 times in different lighting until it says we are younger and younger looking. 


This dress (on sale! under $50!) from Asos arrived just in time for a bridal shower on Sunday. 

// overlay dress with cut outs // 
It is super comfy material and is the perfect girly dress for showers, luncheons, church, you name it. 

I attempted to take a picture but all of them turned out horrifying.  
legit. this was the best one in the group. 

I meannnnnnn 
I’m so photogenic it is amazing.   

We discovered this weekend whilst picking up toiletries at our local CVS that they stopped selling men’s deodorant…. and only sell women’s. 
huh? just felt like I should share it with you. hard hitting news. 
 and any excuse for this :

:: weekend things ::
I hope you all had a wonderful weekend!
It finally hit 70 and I think almost 80 this weekend in Chicago and it was incredible. 
 It’s about time is all I have to say 🙂

random thought of the day : 

Did anyone see SNL on Saturday night? Kip and I couldn’t get over how the musical guest was Wiz Kalifah and yet the other guy that played piano and sang was the only one that really performed….. then Wiz would speak a few words.  Poor piano man didn’t even get a Wiz “featuring _____”.  I mean I should become a pop artist based on these standards.   Perhaps we had had too much wine, but we were laughing our heads off at him only saying one word for each verse while the other guy sang.


see video HERE
however, when I googled to find the video I keep seeing articles about how ’emotional’ his performance was and I’m like FOR REAL WERE WE DRUNK BECAUSE IT WAS HILARIOUS? he is grabbing his crotch and dancing and swinging his hair around – how is this emotional on his part? 

I realized this morning at 7 AM that I had forgotten to finish this post entirely, and only had the SNL comment because I was searching online for hotels and B+B’s in Positano for our trip, and everything good seemed to be booked so I started having a panic attack and stayed up way too late scouring the internet. If you know a great one, send me the info so I can freak out and try to book something.  For some reason I figured I’d just post this nothing post anyway 🙂 

I also finally had time to respond to all of your wonderful comments and e-mails;  if you didnt get an e-mail back (especially about the Honeymoon questions) please shoot me another e-mail but hopefully I didn’t miss anyone!

coffee talk, Lifestyle

:: coffee talk ::

April 30, 2015

:: coffee talk ::

discuss amongst ya-selves……. 

:: shahs of sunset ::
MJ CONTINUES TO BE THE MOST AMAZING PERSON EVER.
she needs a spin off show of her own. for real.  #spiritanimal
Asa stages a veiled art display/demonstration.
she has the group of women to her house the night before that are going to be veiled on the streets of LA and then choose to either stay veiled or unveil.  
she is talking about what a huge deal it is and what it represents….. 
and the girls put on the veils are all responding with ” how do you put this on?” “what does this mean?” “this is my first time wearing a veil”….. 

wait, did you just put up a bunch of craigslist ads and
 pull random people who don’t even understand what you are doing? what’s the point that?  you couldn’t find six legit people to do this with you? 
and call me crazy, but I think its a bad idea to invite rando’s who have seen you on TV into your home for dinner…… first T-Rav on Southern Charm hosting an open to anyone event at his family home, now Asa.  Good Lord.

ughhhhhh Jessica is so obnoxious. 
did her face always not move?
 I feel like when she was first on the show/they first started dating her face moved???? 
when Jessica and Mike meet up with the gang for dinner, 
GIRL IS ON A MISSION.
the waiter hasn’t even put bread and butter on the table and she’s like “YOU LET ME GO OFF MIKE…. oh, hi, yesI’ll have a dirty martini please (fake smile til the waiter turns)… DONT SHUSH ME WHEN I YELL AT THEM MIKE.” 
damn girl. simmer down. 
then she doesn’t let up the whole time. 
reza just looks at her and is like bitch, please. 
“you can’t blame everything that goes on in your life on other people.”
BOOM. silence from jessica/only eyeballs blinking nothing else moving on face.
“you also can’t blame us for your bad botox Jessica!” 
k, so maybe that last part wasn’t said…..  

perhaps the highlight of the episode : 
jessica, still ranting about nothing outside the restaurant :
  “I’m literally not. I’m not.  im NOT im NOT.  I can’t. not.  I’m not……”
from the background down the sheet, Asa calmy shouts back : “THEN DON’T.”
laughed my head off.  it was perfection. 

UM. they already got married.
they met 9 months ago…. 
like, 3 days after her divorce from the first guy she married within 3 months of meeting.  

:: Bruce Jenner Special :: 
I don’t really want to even say that much about this because Coffee Talk is all about sarcasm and making light of situations and ridiculous gossip all in good fun, and I’ve realized there isn’t anything to make light of with this. 
I didn’t even make it to the first commercial break before I cried. When he started crying and I just felt so, so sad for him. 

But I will say this :
 at the end of the special, the dress that he shows Diane Sawyer he is going to wear to dinner……


I was like  “Ooooo well done Bruce. I like that. I would buy that.  I feel like its classic and I could wear it to so many things. Love it, very Ralph Lauren.”


slow clap for Bruce. 

if rumors are true and Miiley Cyrus is back together with Liam,


his dime piece of a brother needs to go Thor on his ass. for real. 

I’m not even wasting an image of miley + liam,
 lets just look at chris instead. 
you’re welcome. 

:: RHOBH ::
le sigh.
(I don’t even know the different in saying sigh or le sigh soooooo I guess I should just say sigh……. or insert a sighing gif??  the incorrect/pointless expressions of our generation are just too confusing.  I can’t even.  except for “I can’t even” because I think its the funniest thing on the face of the earth because I’m an obnoxious moron.  in my defense, if I could say ehrmagerd verbally in real life I would prefer that, but since it isn’t as socially acceptable, I can’t will have to do.)

if youre like me, all of you are slowly sounding it out and then laughing your head off when you realize what it says.  these things KILL ME.  even kip who “doesn’t understand whats funny” about gifs (IM SORRY?) laughs  at these, so I assume you all must like them too. 


what was I talking about? oh yeah – RHONY: insert HUGE SIGH IN ANNOYANCE and possible EYE ROLL.  

I get really sad when people I love via knowing them through my television let me down 
Bethenny was like a full on love affair. I loved her.  She is hilarious.  Loved her on the show and loved her on her individual show.  I listened to her books on tape when I used to commute. Blah blah.  We all know she is funny as hell, but yeah  I also knew she was cah-razy, but whatever.   Who isn’t. 
But seriously….. no likes for her AT ALL this season.  As a character on the show, sure, she is entertaining still and says some funny comments.  But last week I was feeling fed up with her and this week I was OVER IT. 
Last week she said : “what? are we going to sit around braiding each others p#$$# hair??”
I’M SORRY WHAT? WHY WOULD YOU SAY THAT.  THAT IS SO FOUL. someone needs to wash your mouth out with soap. 
Then this week the entire episode is even worse.
Bethenny has her birthday dinner with a bunch of strangers who are 24 years old and then they dance on the table.
I meannnnnnnnnn insert Countless Luann’s song in the background ‘money can’t buy you class’.


my age still starts with a 2 and even I would be mortified to show up to a party with one of those boys.  

Then, Bethenny goes to dinner with Holla/Challah Heather, Dorota, and Carol.


After Dorota mentions her late husband, Bethenny says (to the widow she has met one time prior) that term “late husband” sounds so old and needs to be re-branded.  “like Dead Husband or something.”

( insert no words and staring at the TV )

then she’s like “haha that was Insensitive of me!”
she follows it up with FLIPPING out about Heather saying that Kristin was hurt she was excluded from the birthday party.

(editors note : Kristin CLEARLY didn’t realize at this point that all she was missing was an embarrassing display of cougars and metrosexual twenty somethings using them for their money.)
(editors note numero dos : why is heather calling bethenny beth? no. its stuff like that where I’m like heather I like you so much and then you do really oddly creepy things like that.)

Bethenny says “If Kristin walked up to me and said she was hurt I would have told her she’s ridiculous” and keeps ranting.
UUUMMMMMMM.  and then she insults Heather too because she isn’t a widow and hadn’t said something rude and insensitive to her yet so she says she didn’t invite Heather to the party either, she was just some plus one that showed up. 
( insert more of me with no words and me staring at TV while the women comment on how rude, insincere and bitchy she is )

and don’t even get me started on Ramona flirting with that guy with the snaggle tooth during her “business venture”.
also, darota putting her big boyfriend in his place was awesome.
and terrifying.
legit dont eff with dorota. bitch will cut you. 
:: jackhole of the week :: 
sonja and lea black on WWHL this week.
goodness gracious….. who on my-boyfriend-andy-cohen’s team thought the two of them together with Sonja’s dentist (who clearly SUCKS) would be a great show. 
sonja’s facialist however….. well done.   
lea black sat and talked about how her housekeeper “made it in life” by being her housekeeper in her mansion, and sonja bragged about hanging with george clooney in lake como “before he had a house in como thank you very much!”
oh sonja. 
doesn’t really apply, but its one of my favorites, a classic

lea did the most obnoxious thing ever and stared at herself in the monitor the entire time. when guests do that on WWHL it makes me crazy.  do they think we can’t see them and know what they’re doing? 
the ankit headphones giveaway winner will be announced tomorrow, last chance to enter! 

as always, ignore my own blatant grammatical errors whilst I make fun of others poor grammar during coffee talk on a weekly basis.  
#hypocrite  #sorryimnotsorry
I write these posts late at night while simultaneously watching Bravo, taking snapchats of my snoring husband, and making to do lists of everything I was supposed to do and didn’t do that day and likely won’t do the next day either.  or the day after that.

friday randoms, Lifestyle

:: wednesday randoms ::

April 29, 2015

:: wednesday randoms ::
I can’t thank you all enough for your extremely detailed and insanely helpful e-mails and comments yesterday! I was blown away! 
I will be responding to each and everyone on Friday (and to the questions people e-mailed!!), but wanted to say thank you so, so much for already being such a huge help and upping my anticipation and excited by like a gazillion 🙂 This post is all over the place because I was too busy talking on the phone last night and watching the 10th anniversary special of Dancing With The Stars and thinking that it was BS that Erin Andews even gets to co-host the event as if she was a part of the 20 seasons like Tom Bergeron and deciding that I am going to marathon all of the seasons I haven’t watched because I just love it so damn much.  (aka I was busy being an even bigger loser than normal.) 

I wanted to do a big post of all of the things I’ve dog-eared in the dozens of magazines I’ve read lately, but when I look them up online I can’t find half of the items (I’m looking at you InStyle! this happens every issue! I can’t find any of the things that I have ripped out of the magazine! arghhh.)
so here’s just random stuff, some of which I saw in magazines, whatever who cares.

this is the greatest thing I have ever seen and why did I not invent this:
a universal earring back for any earrings that can’t fall off.
HOW OBVIOUS AND HOW GENIUS IS THIS. 
comes in all different finishes too!
I have so many mismatched backs from losing earrings/backings,
and I still could cry thinking about my who-knows-where david yurman pearl earring that will never be found again. 
if you invest in one thing (and its cheap) let it be these! 

The Real Simple Guide to Real Life.  I want this. Really Bad. 

It’ll be like a real-life-in-my-hands-version of what I pin on Pinterest…… things I totally want to do and love to read about that I will never actually do in real life because I am lazy. 

my friend sent me this jumpsuit because she said it had my name all over it.
// navy blue jumpsuit // 
YES. PLEASE.  
obsessed.
I found this h&m version…. the back isn’t as adorable, 
but it has a little keyhole back and is under $40! 
// h&m jumpsuit // 
I, along with everyone I think, have been on a serious avocado kick the last few months.
This mexican grilled corn avocado toast is making me drool. 

I read about the Iris Apfel documentary, Iris, and it comes out today.
I’d love to see it (but lets be honest I’ll be waiting til I can watch it from my couch. then I’ll definitely be tuning in.)


this simple silk maxi dress would be perfect for more formal summer weddings.
and the color reminds me of wine…. so obviously I like it more. 
// silk racerback maxi // on sale for under $100

we’ll discuss on coffee talk tomorrow,
but I definitely cried during Bruce’s interview on Friday.
(and I definitely stayed in on a Friday night and was like “GO ALREADY” to my husband so that I could watch in solitude during “real time”.  I don’t watch anything in real time…. I have shows planned out to the minute for when to start them so that I can fast forward commercials and still finish on time.  It’s an art that only my mother and I have mastered. It takes years of too much television to get to our expert level).
