There’s us on our date night to check out an advance screening of Spectre (obviously we had to go ahead and dress thematically). It was completely ridiculous in that very specific Bond way (where the female lead who just seconds earlier was kidnapped and narrowly escaped death just so happens to have a slinky gown in her…suitcase? Which she took with her while being kidnapped and narrowly escaping death?), but whatever: SO fun. Go see it, and be ready to both roll your eyes all the way into the back of your head and have a total blast.
I was on the hunt for a simple, perfect white silk button-down. Found it.
Speaking of perfect basics: this slouchy black cotton pullover, hello.
I can’t believe I’m saying this…but…I don’t think I really like Beyonce and Jay Z’s new house in New Orleans. (Except for the moldings. Those I would happily run away and live on a desert island with.) Is this possible? Am I crazy? (Beyonce and Jay Z Buy A House In New Orleans, via Lonny.)
“We are unconsciously communicating lies.” Well, damn, Lady Gaga. (This video via The People’s Voice is really great.)
I am SO into this mask. I haven’t tried it on an actual hangover yet (and hopefully won’t ever, because did I mention that having a hangover with young children is the worst thing in the entire world? It’s the worst thing in the entire world), but it feels amazing – refreshing and cooling and just great – on mornings (or evenings) when I feel like my face could use a little chilling out. (And it’s an especially good to have on hand during the change of seasons, when heaters start making skin all sensitive and dry.)
Current obsession: Nasty Gal’s vintage collection.
Yup. (Marry the Person Who Will Help You To The Bathroom, via Washington Post.)
Ahhhh, these boots are gorgeous. And RED. (And thus even more gorgeous.)
Cool, so that kid can look forward to seeing Wrinkles the Clown in every dream he has every night for the rest of his life. (Disciplining Your Kids Is Hard, But Please Do Not Hire A Clown To Terrify Your Kids Into Behaving, via Mommyish.)
Have you heard about this outcry surrounding the awards-buzzy children’s book “A Fine Dessert,” which many are arguing presents a “whitewashed view of slavery”? (Get the backstory via NPR here.) Apparently the author, Emily Jenkins, has released a statement acknowledging the racial insensitivity of the book, and is being lauded for her willingness to own her error and listen to the words of her book’s detractors with an open heart. I think the way this conversation – because it has been a conversation – has gone is something we can all learn from. (Emily Jenkins Apologizes for ‘A Fine Dessert,’ via SLJ.)
I’m not one of those people who especially cares what I look like when I’m working out – mostly because a) I don’t really do it, and b) when I do, I’m hiding in a corner on an elliptical with my face buried in Star – but if I were going to, say, dance classes? These leggings are so beautiful and so something I’d buy.
I know you think that you do not need a neon eyeshadow palette. I promise, you are wrong. (This look was for Halloween – hence the dramatic pose – but I use Urban Decay’s Electric Palette all the time. In my regular life. I swear.)
I am a big, huge, enormous believer in early bedtimes, and apparently science agrees with me. (Putting Kids To Bed Earlier Means Better Mental Health For Mom, via Today.) P.S. I totally also let my son come into bed with us in the middle of the night, in case you were thinking I was actually good at sticking by all the things I “believe.”
All the feelings. (The Sweetest Way To Tell Your Kids About Santa, via PopSugar.)
