more great advice from oprah.

aloha, beyotches! we are in hawaii for the week and having a delightful time maxing and relaxing on the beach. intermittent pinterest action on the ol' iphone revealed this gem from the ever-brilliant oprah, and i'd just like to mention that if you've got a minute, check out the accompanying post on positive relationships at whoorl.com. it's a great message and definitely a nice reminder that we are all very much in control of our own happiness. i hope you're all having a wonderful day, and if you're not, the westminster dog show is on. if watching that shit doesn't cheer you up then nothing will.

love you long time.

happiest of valentine's to all but especially to the one and only sugarbear.

czech please.

despite being moderately overwhelming, trips to the button store definitely don't suck. shopping for little details is one of the more fun parts of the ever-glamorous world of interior design, and universal fabrics in rice village has all the bases covered when it comes to buttons (and fabrics and other stuff you will find yourself needing when you go inside). this trip was specifically for ENORMOUS three-inch czech glass monsters in cobalt (or i could have also gone for those silver ones), but as you can see, they have lots of other options. fo rills, this is like a fifth of the button wall:

(no) gamine chic (for you).

are y'all excited about jason wu for target or what? yeah, me neither, kind of. i mean, the collection is cute and all... is it just me, or does it seem less an event than normal? is target trying to avoid whipping everyone into a frenzy like last time? perhaps post-missoni, no one wants to get their hopes up for all those sad empty racks. or maybe it's the use of all those cats in the ads. i've found that cats are pretty polarizing, and most people HATE cats. unless it's cat paint, or cat shirts? people love cat shirts. anyway, here is judy (one of our three bastard cats) doing her best jason wu impersonation.

and yes, that was the best she had. i would like to point out that it took me about 3 hours to get that photo, so i hope you enjoyed it, because i sustained minor injuries whilst tying the bow around that ho-bag.

anway. here is the J-Wu target collection, via style.com. if you're in the mood to get your hopes up and then be super disappointed because it's all sold out, this shit hits the fan on february 5th.
