UBER Clutch Cuz We're UBER Ready For Summer

There it was...Beckoning to me from the front window of fred's. The item that broke my good girl resolve...

GiGi's Uber Clutch in gasp! summer white...

A mere but you've been SUCH a good girl you deeeserve it...you've gotten a riDICulous amount of mileage out of your other GiGi clutches...it's white so you don't have a lick of 'splainin' to do til Memorial Day...later...

It's UBER roomy...

And, we're UBER happy we caved...

We're gonna have to sit on our paws to keep from breaking it out before Memorial Day...

GiGi NEW YORK is giving y'all 20% off with the code SUMMER for a whole month. Hmmm...gives me just enough time to decide between another in either the looks good against sun kissed skin mint or the Bain de Soleil girl black...

Kindness of Daily Crush's Katie Carlin for getting me hooked on the GiGi NEW YORK clutch in the first place...XXOO

History of the Eagles

Babe's gonna start questioning my sanity if he returns home from the office or airport and catches me watching Showtime's HISTORY OF THE EAGLESaaagain...

I've watched the doc three times in as many days and I'm STILL not ready to erase it from the DVR...

Not only were they were my fav childhood band but, it's as close as I'm going to get to realizing my time machine fantasy. Ya know, the one where I get to pack up my current wardrobe, travel back to pick up my 18 year old wild child self and arrive front row and center...

Note to self: don't forget to pack holster and sterling Navajo turquoise belt buckle in T. Anthony duffel but, leave plenty o' return room for snagging Glenn's black E jacket...

Kindness of my Dad for gifting me great albums throughout grade school and Babe for tolerating the endless loop of Eagles mania on both the TV and iPod this past weekend. I prooomise to have it out of my system by the time you return from Cali. Well, mostly anyway...XXOO

Babe's Valentine Swag

Well, we heard all your requests and protests...

So, I roused the troops for a quick share of Babe's Valentine swag...

I mentioned earlier loving this Four Majors belt but, knowing Babe's fondness for sportin' ribbon had long ago waned, needlepoint was the obvious default...

I worked with a custom painter at The Village Ewe in Old G'wich emailing pics and requests and tweak after annoying tweak after just one more eensie tweak...

Including leaving a space for me to attempt Necessary-and-Proper's shmancy like monogram...

Et voilà!

We have the Masters, the US Open, the British Open, the PGA and thee Major himself all representin'...

 A king's ransom worth of Vineyard Silk later...

And, all that's left is for me to finish stitching my way through my not so li'l Christmas ornament project that that trouble maker over at Summer In Newport roped me into annnd Babe's belt should be completed just in time to be re gifted next Valentine's Day...

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, the Ti-Babes were not handling the reemergence of the "paps" in their life and, in a page right outta Sean Penn's playbook, Dickie (nickname du jour) made a rude gesture...

And Lolly attacked the photog and her camera. Lucky pour moi there's documentation and I'm currently shopping lawyers. And, TMZ offers...

*FYI Anyone interested in the Four Majors needlepoint canvas can call Estelle at The Village Ewe and ask to have her painter pump out another one. It's $160 un-kitted and around another $75 kitted. I was surprised at the width but, she painted it to be rolled under when finishing which means no binding stitch is necessary. For you showoffs, I'm sure you can just enlarge my pics and count the stitches. Just give me a holler if you need me to email more closeups...

Kindness of Punxsutawney Phil for not seeing his shadow. Otherwise I'd be coming to you from a SAD rehab facility...XXOO
