No Bueno: Not knowing that beauty is truly on the inside...



Yes...
All of us fall victim to wanting to "perfect" our faces...bodies...etc with a lil nip and tuck or prick and pluck now and again and who is to say that is wrong...especially if it makes you feel "better"...


But the No Bueno of it all is when you look in the mirror and still think you are not pretty enough or that being prettier or more "perfect" will make you better.


P.S. YOU ARE YOU! If your heart and mind are in the right place your laughter, hope and smile will outshine all of the other things on the outside that you may not think are good enough.


True beauty is lit from within and bursts out blinding all those around you...a huge smile is waaay more beautiful (and waaaay cheaper) than a shot or knife...


Walk lightly...live with grace...love...laugh...live....

Bueno: Helping hands

Over the years musicians and entertainers have stepped up to use their talent and persuasion to help people in need.

We thank all of the people who played a part in helping the people of Haiti. That means you too. You don't have to give millions of dollars to help... Anything you gave is meaningful.


And the people who have given over the years to help people in need all over the world.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.

Fashion Friday: This ones for the boys! Or for you to buy your boys ;)



Yes, you have come to the right blog...your favoritist blog in the world, Things We Heart...but today's post is dedicated to all of the Cutie Mcgootie boys in our lives and our yummy blog boys too!



And NO this is not a post filled to the brim with pictures of Megan Fox, Miranda Kerr (who btw is just as F'n stunning in person), George Clooney (Mmmmm) or David Beckham...this is a post chalk full of super cute fashion picks for the scruffy set.


Um why??? Because we lurve them, squish them and the big Vday is comin and we are quite sure there will be tons of posts dedicated to that that are just for the girls ;)
And away we go...to the Land of Boys!



The cardigan that inspired a post...Psycho Bunny (you had us at the name alone!) is a uber cute mens line we found at Barney's for the boy.

He looked soooo cute in this short and tight cardi we couldn't keep our hands off! Looks super good with a vintage tea under it...

Oh..hee hee speaking of vintage tees...
He would looove a great perfectly worn out one...

We found this amazing Iron Maiden one on Ebay...too bad it's 200 clams or we would be wearing it this weekend...Oh wait...you're right...it's for him...not us.

Ooooohhhh...we looove a good pair of shades on a cute boy. These Raen glasses would look hot with some tight chinos, yummy soft tee and converse...
Loooove the wood grain effect!


Hello cute boy pants! How are you? Sexy? Yes you are!

These skinny fit army chinos are soooo yummy! Pair with a worn out tee or wrinkly button up shirt and Toms and we are RTG!!! Sex on a stick!


Dear yummy, (faux) stinky, and (faux) dirty sweatshirt from UO...we would heart you on any man.
Especially a man in perfectly skinny jeans and a cute hat!


Dear lord...HOLD US BACK!!!! We are having a man-shoegasim....
Vael took the all too cute Sperry Topsider (one of a certain cute boys fave shoes) and made it into a hightop...Um...YUMMMMMMMMM


No girl (or boy) can resist a hot lad in a scrunchy beanie....
Love this slouchy beanie from Nixon...
2 day old scruff...good jeans...and a loose/tight old tee and you are GTG!!!


Want your boy (or you) to be the most debonair man in the room?
Make him throw this braided cable knit shawl collar cardi on and tada...Mr Distinguished is here!



No words...none...zero...zilch. We are insanely hearting these drop crotch pants for da boys...
Think boys can't pull these off??? WRONG! I know a certain gorgeously cute 3.5 year old that wears ones like these with a tee and boots and looks more fashionable than anyone you know!
PS I just ordered these :) Hope they look good on me (well? what do you expect..they are cute)


OMFG! Breathe....Breathe....AHHHHAHHHAHHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHA
What??????????????????????
He NEEDs this bike from Chanel....Uh huh...CHANEL!

You know who would look AMAZING on this F'n ridiculously sexy bicicletta? Our style guru (if we were boys) Brad Goreski from Rachel Zoe's office.

He would look tres cute up on it! Brad...get this and call us and take us for a spin!!

We are sooooo inspired to go boy shopping now! Feels good ;)
Get somethin for him/you...you guys deserve it!
PS That way you won't feel so bad when you shop for yourself! Woo hoo!



Have fun!

Decor to die for: Throw down....



Throws or handy little snuggly blankets that keep you cozy and look pretty are being put to good use in our houses this week... What about yours?

Here are are favorite small blankets to cuddle under while that rain beats down outside!

Starting, in no particular order, with our fake boyfriend Jonathan "J'adorable" Adler and his Nixon throw. Clean, graphic and cozy.. Just the way we like it in our nests.

Some thing about this beautiful Fireside throw by Matteo was calling our names... Something about it was so warm and familiar, it reminds us of something we can't quite put our finger on...

Wait.... GOT IT!

It's a total Spicoli style "drug rug" poncho made into a very luxe and classy affair! We love it! No wonder it was screaming our names.. It must have remembered us from High School.

Don't know how many times we gotta tell you, we heart, heart, heart P.B.T! Yes, it's true, we also heart P.Y.T, (Rest In Peace M.J)



But we are talking about your nest, so when we say P.B.T it can only mean one thing... Pottery Barn Teen- Our go to spot for affordable preppy cuteness.
Like these PomPom throws. I'll take mine in white, thanks.

Do we even have to say it? Faux fur thows??? Scrumptious! In white or deep brown? So very sexy.
The grown up Pottery Barn has these beauties... But hurry they are almost gone.

Kelly, Kelly, Kelly, even though we love you and bow down to your interior know-how... We are super jealous of your flawless skin, your casual elegance and to top it all off your genuine sweetness. Now you go and do this?
Grrr... WHY!?

Psss.... Miss Me's birthday is ONLY 5 months away... Anyone want to get me one of these amazing K.W for Serffa throws? Anyone? Honey? Anyone?

O.K, Moving on.


There... Are.... No.... Words....

Looks like a super innocent, sweet little lavender throw right? No way guys...
It's the Mother F*ing CRACKEN!

Ohhhh, Ohhhh Thomas Paul, You KILL... You just KILL!

We heart the tattoo style art on this Basotho Throw. Not to mention the always winning color combo of peach, turquoise and black.

Uh-Oh... Miss t.w.h, Don't look now, but I think I found your birthday present!
Kitten lovers of the world unite under this fleece throw with a precious little kitten face on it.
Awwww, Snuggles! It started off as a joke but the longer I look, the more I love this little guy... Maybe I better order two...

Stay home... Snuggle up with your sweetie and a good movie...
(If you have not seen "Away We Go" yet, you need to NOW... Really, NOW!)

Beauty-fuls: La beauté des Globes Dorés



Viva la beaute! Viva la glam...la glitz...la ribbons and shout outs to support the devastated land and people of Haiti.
Even with the horror going on in Haiti, the ladies of the Golden Globes managed to pull it together and glam it up! Well some did...and others attempted...


And now...the cheers and (to our dismay) the jeers for some of the beauties of the GG night.

We really really hate to say anything bad about our fellow sisters (the ladies) but we just couldn't resist...must be the ol' Aunt Flo...or just plain honesty with a pinch of bitchiness mixed with a sprig of love for good makeup...

Here are awards for the most beautiful (makeup) of the evening....
(in no particular order)
Oh Diane...how we heart thee. We will however, try to not factor in your AMAZING dress when we talk about how gorge you looked.

Diane went for the subtle natural beauty and stunningly nuevo '40s hair and let her fuchsia Christian Lacroix gown do the talking.
Diane you look amazing with your coppery-brown smokey eye and perfectly pinkie nude lip.


Drew...Drew...Drew...Drew...We will not let the fact that your acceptance speech was totally fake and overacted. Yes, we know you have been there a million times and win countless awards (that we do think you deserve BTW) but try to be a wee bit more humbled...
Anywhooo...
We LOVE your stunning rosy lips and equally pretty rosy glowy cheeks! Your whispery grey liner with hints of pearl is TDF! You look radiant as if lit from with in your exquisite Versace dress.


Meryl...you get better with age! OK now, yes we are absolutely obsessed with your genius talent but we will try to let that go for the sake of fairness in award season at TWH.
Your natural eye and glowy cheeks are a perfect pairing for your pop of coral on your lips. You look fresh and totally age appropriate (that word is not just for 15 year olds ya know).
PS Nice dress! It is not easy looking glam, subtle, hot and your age at these shows and you did them all super well...bravo!

Zoe Saldana...we have been in heartville with you since you were in Center Stage. And once again we have arrived at the heartville gates to congratulate you on your stunning makeup.
We do take note that you are already stunning but your makeup could have gone another way with that ridiculously rad Louis Vuitton cranberry ruffled gown.
Looove your Liz Tayloresque cat eye liner and perfect pinky-nudey-taupey lip. Gorge! And your hair...yes please...that dress is not an easy one to pull off and look fresh and young at the same time...


Marion...you had us at the blue liner (and at La Vie en Rose).
We super heart your navy cat-lined lids and light pinky nude lip!

You look glamorous with out piling the makeup on. We love it! Not an easy fete when wearing a peacock blue Christian Dior dress (you needed another shoe though but since this is a post on makeup we will keep the lips zipped!)


BRAVO!!!!! Xtina no more Mrs Aguilera- Bratman...you have crossed into Stunning-ville!
Mr twh and I gasped when you walked out with Cher.
Your suuuuper cute new bob and gorge Versace dress were only elevated by your rosy lips and lightly smokey eye (not to mention your rad sparkly skin...we love a dose of glitter at TWH).
We can actually see how pretty you are! Not how much makeup you let your artist pack on you.
You look amazing and beautiful!!!!


And now it's time for the No Bueno awards for worst makeup...not necessarily UGLY, but just not good....


We thought there was no way possible to make Penelope Cruz look bad or aged...
Well her makeup team managed to pull of the impossible...
They aged you! You of all people don't need that much makeup! It's too heavy against that dress, that hair and tanned skin. And while you are at it...try a new "look"!
You are gorgeous...you can change up your makeup and you will still look spectacular (well only if you don't over do it)
And with your dark spray tan (that is not a real glow) you give Sophia Loren a run for her money....scroll down...



We would only pray to look as beautiful as SL when we are older but she does need a new hair dresser and stylist and lay off the spray tans a bit...



FERGIE!!! Come on! What is happening??!?!?! We are totally confused.
We are not sure what is off...but it is for sure off. It may be the messy thick prom hair...or the odd makeup that makes you look all one color...or if it's just the overly plumped lips and cheeks but it's not good.
You can do the undone look and this is not it. You need to call in a new team...call us..we will direct you to some amazing people...


And last but not least Miss Aniston. Yes, we loooove the hippie beach girl sooo much it hurts but EVERY time?!?!? Change that shit up every once in a while...You do look beautiful but we are bored...
You are stunning and glowy and you should yell at Chris McMillan for never pushing you to try new things.
And while you are at it, yell at your makeup team for the same thing.
You always look the same whether it's on the streets, in a movie or at the Golden Globes. Just have fun!

Lovelies of twh...you don't have to be famous or even invited to an award show or party to dress up and have fun...
Have your own GG in your bathroom...play dress up..experiment...it's fun!

Look...we did last night....don't we look amazing?!?!
(not us...just rad)
