coffee talk

August 9, 2013

coffee talk
discuss amongst ya-selves….. 


Sooooooooo – The Bachelorette Finale. 

I mean…. 

She was crying hysterically, broken hearted, because the man she said she wanted to marry had dumped her.  I should have known that OF COURSE she would be engaged to someone else within days!


 WHAT THE HELL???? 

I mean, we knew Drew was going out the door (no shock there), but then she just falls crazy in love with “what was always in front of her” and gets engaged?! Please leave comments on this because I really can’t believe this happened.  I always thought it was Chris, and I think they are great and that she does love him probably, but I really can’t believe she went from only seeing her future being engaged to one person, to being dumped, and then getting engaged to another?  Yeah… your mindset was totally stable to be making these decisions. 
Go read betches love this recap, because they say the perfectly inappropriate things I’m too scared to say.  
{believe it or not, this is always me holding back…. scary}. 
enough of my dumb opinion blabber….. onto the main point of the season.  I am so mad I never realized this, because I hate when someone beats me to anything humorous, but one of those dumb tweets on the bottom of the screen during the show said that Chris looks just like the dude from Blues Clues.

Um, YES.  Coffee Talk would have been so much better had I realized this all season.  



lilo hates to disappoint, so she is already out on the town with The Wanted! (who, my boy Andy Cohen has said, is quite the group of man-whores). 

ruh-roh.  She was, however, great on Chelsea Handler’s show.  And good thing amanda bynes has been put on 30 more days psychiatric hold to keep everyone distracted.  


princesses of Long Island ended with a giant yawn.

I feel like nothing is even worth discussing, not even crazy Ashlee’s panic attack or Jeff’s promise ring (promise ring that he is straight?) instead of an engagement ring.  The only thing worthy of discussing: 
I realized one thing that has been staring me in the face all season:  You know the bitchy resting face? Erica has a constant “I smell poop” face. That or an “I’m pooping” face – it varies between the two. I’m sorry, it’s gross, but it’s true. 






 That is totally worse that Bitchy Resting Face. 
Her face looks like this: 
constantly. 


Liam took Miley to his movie premiere last night.


For the love of God Liam! Ahhhhh!! 


RHOOC Finale:

There was drama, fake apologies with Jim crying (ha!!!!!), 
…..Gretchen’s face continuing not to move whilst her lips grow to the size of Cleveland, more Malibu Country talk, and Slade/Ms. Piggy/Tupperware Face crap.  The highlight: Brianna’s husband Ryan is a scary psychopath.  Like, straight up, I feel like he truly is not someone that should ever be around women or children.  The main reason – even Vicki didn’t make a PEEP! Crazy-face, screaming high pitched Vicki doesn’t say a single word about it.  The man was yelling at a 64 year old pot-head for putting her feet up on the couch and then went ape-sh*t.  I try to avoid my favorite curse words on here, but honestly the only way to phrase it is ape-sh*t. 

Here’s a small part from after it, but it’s an episode worth watching to see how crazy he goes at her while it happens.  


I hope he gets ripped a new you-know-what at the reunion, and I’m sure he will.

Ah I can’t wait for the Reunion!!!!! 

Thanks to A Spot of Whimsy, I have been discovering new TV shows.  She messaged me about The Vineyards on ABC Family, which is like a new The Hills but set in Martha’s Vineyard.  It’s definitely scripted like the Hills, and the first 1.5 episodes it’s just so fake, I was like “why am I watching this!?’, yet after that hurdle, I am hooked. 
Lou and Katie need to get together ASAP because I just can’t handle it.
 At the very least, it’s pretty people in a pretty town so why not.  It’s so bad that it’s good somehow? 


And finally, the REALLY big news of the week. If you’ve been reading Coffee Talk for awhile, you remember me sharing how People’s main page announced that a Let’s Make a Deal girl was pregnant. Well, today their homepage shares that she has welcomed a daughter!! Scarlett!! 


Will someone please tell me how the hell this is news? I mean, I consider every piece of dumb crap to be interesting, and this is just boggling my mind.  I apologize for just wasting 2 minutes of your time by sharing it with you. 


I know there’s so many other things to discuss that I am leaving out!

The winner will be announced on Monday!

Lifestyle, weekend recap

Weekend Recap + Monogram Monday

August 5, 2013

Weekend Recap + Monogram Monday
Thursday night (we’ll just pretend that counts as the weekend)
 my friend and I tried Homeslice for the first time in Lincoln Park.  
It has an amazing back courtyard, and yes the El can get a little noisy, but the food and atmosphere make it completely worth it.  I can’t wait to go back. 

Dinner with friends Friday at her new place, with lots of wine, pizza, and girl talk. 
sorry – stole your photo, Al, mine sucked 🙂 

We ran errands downtown, and had a pitstop between stores at Quartinos for some sangria and fondue.
It also didn’t hurt that the al fresco dining made for incredible people watching while everyone stumbled home from Lollapalooza.
All of their food is seriously crack, but my latest obsession is this fondue. 
Kip used to live right next door, and it made me miss being in River North every weekend. 

I couldn’t be more obsessed with today’s Monogram Monday. 
I have always wanted one of the big Louis Vuitton carryall’s, but no way was that going to happen. 
At one point my friend knew a Chinese website that sold amazing fakes, but alas, when I went to pull the trigger it had already been shut down… 
So… While I was in NYC, my friend Natalie brought my attention to this bad boy. 
// c. wonder ikat bag // 
Not only is it the exact same size as those beauteous designer bags,
it has great pockets inside for all the knick-knacks, 
it is so inexpensive, and I ordered it with free monogramming and free shipping. 
Be still my monogram obsessed heart. 
ha, see what I did there. #loser 


if you aren’t already a follower, please follow! 
only one more to 300 🙂

saturday shopping
I am obsessed with every piece of this outfit. 
Maybe I am excited for fall? 
I don’t know if I am cool enough to wear stripes and leopard together,  
but I would definitely wear the pieces separately!  


jacket // striped top // skirt // necklace 

hi, pretty purse





// clutch //


another fall look I am obsessed with.
I want to live in this sweater. 





sweater // pants





the perfect twist on chambray: fancy beads/clusters


// beaded chambray top // 


I didn’t buy anything leopard last year,
and I will not make the same mistake again! 





// flats //
