Totally Like Pink

What's your theme song?

noreply@blogger.com (Jen (Pink) Williams) — Thu, 05 Apr 2012 13:42:00 +0000

"Whenever I get depressed, I raise my hemlines. If things don't change, I am bound to be arrested. Do you ever wish you could erase a whole day from your life, a year even?" - Ally McBeal

Anyone remember Ally McBeal? Early on in the show her therapist tells her to pick a theme song or mantra to think about when she was upset. She picked "Tell Him," performed by Vonda Shepard and repeatedly played throughout the show. So here's my song, "Life's a Happy Song." Yeah, it's a Muppet song, don't judge me.

Came across this scrumptious Etsy shop called Tookies. How perfect are these St. Patrick's Day themed cake-in-a-jar treats? Dessert should always look this good.

PS - they're offering 20% everything until Easter with coupon code EASTERUP. Get on it!

I dare you to take 30 minutes and watch this video. I dare you to join the movement and stop Joseph Kony. Spread the word.

Love this framed print by Aaron Straup Cope. The series of map prints is called Prettymaps and can be found for sale at 20x200. This one of the Baltimore/DC region and I want it.

This video was taken this morning down by River Street. My son LOVES watching the huge cargo ships downtown and also out by Tybee.

Best Picture Nominees Menu

noreply@blogger.com (Jen (Pink) Williams) — Fri, 24 Feb 2012 15:51:00 +0000

I'm slightly obsessed with the Oscars, specifically the Best Picture nominees (and of course the red carpet). Last year I threw a small party and created a dinner menu based on the nominated films. It went over so well that I'm doing it again. Here's my proposed menu:

Extremely Good Wine and Incredibly Cold Beer
Midnight in Peartinis
The Artist-an Cheese Plate
The Descendants on a Log (see recipe for Ants on a Log, in case you have not heard of this kid-friendly appetizer)
Hugo-at Cheese and Tomato Salad (this recipe looks good)
Moneyball-park Franks with War Horse-radish
Tree of Life mini casseroles (see recipe for Broccoli and Cheese Casseroles at the Eat Yourself Thin blog)
The Help-me-it's-so-good Chocolate Pie (don't worry nothing but chocolately goodness in this pie!)

Of course we'll all fill out ballots and whoever gets the most right will win their very own Oscar (hand made my moi) and bragging rites. If I had time...I'd make these incredible Oscar Trophy cookies! What are you doing for the Oscars?

Chill Out

Are you kidding me? This would be a cute tote on its own. But no, it's a cooler! How perfect for the beach.

Vrrrroooom!

noreply@blogger.com (Jen (Pink) Williams) — Fri, 17 Feb 2012 14:54:00 +0000

BOUGHT! I would have purchased the firetruck ones too, but they were sold out in Emmet's size.

Love this for a sweet Valentine's Day gift. This too.

The New "It" Stroller

This stroller must cost $1 million, because it's too good to be true.

Is it wrong that I love this? Full Disclosure: I also love Hart of Dixie.

Good Luck, Dragon Style

Love this from LaineyGossip:
"Chinese New Year’s Day is Monday, January 23. So, as I say every year, and people forget (!!!): clean all weekend because Good Luck Avoids A Mess. Throw out all your old sh-t - in the closets, in the fridge, in your cupboards; get rid of the trash, wipe everything down, wash the car (people always forget about the car), launder your clothes, and in particular the entrance to your home must be clear. There must not be clutter around the front door or lying around in the front hall when the New Year arrives. Give Good Luck a smooth passage inside. Go to bed on fresh sheets and in clean clothes (I always break out a new pair of pyjamas) on Sunday night. Starting Monday though and for 3 full days afterwards, 5 if you can manage - no sweeping, dusting, nothing, not even removing nail polish. Some old schoolers won’t even wash their hair. I try not to wash mine on New Year’s Day proper but in these modern times, it can be unrealistic. The most important thing is not to remove the new year energy out of your home. And definitely surround yourself with as much love and support on New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day as possible. Dinner with friends, family, and lots of food."

Derby

I want this painting. It looks just like my cat, Derby. Although I've never seen him in a scarf and blazer, quite dapper!

The perfect combo

Is it just me or does this photo make you want to get a little flower tattoo and go dancing?

Game Changer

noreply@blogger.com (Jen (Pink) Williams) — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 15:20:00 +0000

Um, it's January 2012. H&M I think it's time you opened your online doors for American shoppers already. Come on, this will change everything!!!

Update: According to marketwatch.com, "H&M added that the start of online sales in the U.S. has been pushed back to autumn 2012 rather than spring 2012 "as more time is needed to ensure the best possible reception at the launch." Boo!

Your Mission Should You Choose to Accept It

It's like this was written specifically for me. Weird. How'd they know? The best thing is this cute and too true list is free and printable here. And if that is not enough, you can find some more ways to help you get shit done in 2012 here. So great, right?

I love this look from Dsquared2 (minus the cig). Looks like my Aunt S. circa 1972.

Awards Season

noreply@blogger.com (Jen (Pink) Williams) — Thu, 29 Dec 2011 14:10:00 +0000

I can't wait. Really. I print out the list of nominated films and I try to see them all prior to the awards show. It becomes an obsession, but at least it's a fun one. And don't get me started on the red carpet... LOVE.

New Years Resolution #1

noreply@blogger.com (Jen (Pink) Williams) — Tue, 27 Dec 2011 14:46:00 +0000

Get a new party dress!

I love everything about this.

But this is more wallet friendly and still party-worthy.

Happy Boxing Day

noreply@blogger.com (Jen (Pink) Williams) — Mon, 26 Dec 2011 22:10:00 +0000

I guess it's Boxing Day, which means most people aren't working. I'm not so fortunate. If I was to pick a place to be today it would be Sydney watching the annual yacht race.

I love a good sale
