WE HEART YOU!

xoxo M & E

Take us straight to the BAR! (Hey what do you want from us? We are new moms!) *Local-ish Edition*

Yes...it's exactly what you are thinking...that is if you are thinking of the newest bars in town.   Oh wait!! As much as Miss Me and I LOOOOOVEEEE ourselves a good Champagne or 5...

We are talking about a whole other type of bar.   The kind of bar that makes us look and feel beautiful with out having to make use of Beer and Vodka Goggles  *The "beer goggles" are considered to have distorted the "wearer's" vision, making unattractive people appear beautiful, or at least passably attractive.*



In LaLa Land and a few other major cities in the US, beauty bars are popping up everywhere.  They promise total beauty in no time flat and charge almost nothing for it...um hello?  Did you read that right?  Yup, you totally did!   

There are 2 we can't get out of our heads (or wallets) They each have their own specialty so you know you're getting the best...I mean you wouldn't go to a hand surgeon for brain surgery right?   Nail salons have been around for decades so it makes perfect sense why there would be shops popping up that do one thing and they do that one thing amazingly. 


Soooo you may have seen a few of our tweets lately drooling over The Dry Bar by uber mom, Alli Webb.   It's a blowdry ONLY salon!!!   Walk in with dirty dry hair and leave with glam goddess waves...done and done!

I know...we hate her too (in the best most adoring way of course)  ...anywhoo.. The Dry Bar is amazeballs.   You walk in to a salon so chic, so cute you would die to have designed it yourself or have it as your dream bathroom.  Its filled with white marble, white chairs and shelves and sunshine yellow accents....DELISH!!!!!  

It's visual perfection.   Then $35 (or $40 for you NYC'rs) and 30 min later you walk out with perfect hair....just choose your look from their menu and let the mavens take over...

To say we are obsessed is an understatement.   Yep...it totally is an indulgence but it's sooooo worth it!  And for $35 for shiny, sexy hair in under 30 min?!   Yes PLEASE!!!   Nothing makes a new mom feel rejuvenated like gorge hair...ok... gorge hair and a nutella panini.   

Oh, PS they are opening locations EVERYWHERE!!!


Ok, so we found the next bar from Daily Candy and it was crazy love at first site.   Its a super cute boudiour of a store that can take you from tired ol' gal to glam goddess in 30 flat.  Introducing Blushington.  

A makeup bar that just does that...make up!   Finally...no more booking terrifying blind dates with your local MAC counter...walking in not knowing what is about to happen.   

Blushington promises perfection and you can choose your look from their super cute menu.  They also offer classes for new mommies on how to look gorge in 5 min!!!!!   




So have no fear ladies....Blushington and The Dry Bar are there to help you look like a hot piece of ass with not a lot of cash :) (and in no time flat ...we couldn't figure out a rhyme for that one)

Monday Funday: Awards Edition...And the winners are....

Oh hello there! How's it going?  Good?  That's amazing...so are we. Thanks for asking! Been a wee bit busy over here but thought we would come back and say.....WE F**N MISSED YOU GUYS!!!!!!

We just couldn't stay away. And in honor of our 1st post in a while....we wanna do one of our faves. The Emmy Awards winners. Nope, not the winner winners....the fashion winners. Oh, yeah...no prob...you are soooo welcome.

Sooo with out further adieu... (we are old friends after all so no need to reintroduce ourselves right? or do idle chit chat to get comfy again) The fashion fabs and flubs of the Emmy's.

Good news or bad news first? Totally...agreed.

The Good!  (in no particular order...especially since we forgot how to work blogger)

 Jennifer Carpenter...well done my dear!  Show that boy what he's missing.   Good ombre hair (but it could have been a wee bit more discheveled for that "I just had sex" look)...nice shoes and that delish Tony Ward nudey-silvery , sexpot dress.

   

 Yummy Kerry YUUMMMYYY!  How fantabulously gorgeously amazing does she look in this red firework sparkly gown?!?!?


So beautiful...we want...we need.   Just the right amount of classic with a dose of modern and a sprinkle of perfection!

Dear Amy Poehler,  you madame are a genius.  Not only are you insanely hilarious, super cute and talented but you are married to one of the funniest men in the universe!   Oh and your Peter Som futuristic dress is divine!  

Lea...D-to the mother f'n - lish!

                                

The Bad

No...no...no...no!!!

 Olivia,  this is kinda sorta your coming out party...next time call us!  We will totally style you...for free.   We love to see PYT looking good.  And this dress is not good.

Gwyneth?  No bueno...

Yes you are tall and thin...yes you are pretty and blonde...but Gisele you are not.   

This dress would not be good on anyone...especially for the Emmys.   

Please stop drinking your own GOOP.   

No words Katie...no words...except WTF?  This is the Emmys not a summer garden wedding

Happy 4th Weekend Everyone!!!!

Happy 4th!!! Drink it up, take a dive but don't drink and drive or dive. Oh and be amazing!!!

P.S. Since we are super into Cocoville, Koa Town, Aceyland and Rio Valley we decided to start a rad mom blog! Come visit! We launch soon....

P.P.S. And NO Things We Heart is not going anywhere! We just thought if our brains were in babyland we should embrace it!

Visit us here! (for now :) )

Fashion Friday: The Rad Brides...

Soooooooo...HI THERE!!!!

Ok now before you burst into tears from crazy excitement about us being back and ready to attack, here is a tiny warning...

***Warning***

We will be posting as much as we can but they may be shorter and super sporatic since the new bunnies in our lives run our daily lives and by the time most people are having dinner....we are snuggling in bed ready to pass out.

But the uber good news is....our posts will never be forced and always from the heart since it they will only be that of which truly inspires our slightly polished fingers to type

***End Warning***

Ok, since no one we know is getting married, but it is spring and dresses are popping up we thought we gotta give a shout out to super rad alternative wedding dresses. The dresses for our readers, for us, for the cool girls...the ones that aren't afraid to be themselves....

And away we go!!!

OH wait! P.S. We may be a wee bit rusty so bare with us!

And the dress that put the inspiration in our brains...

Thank you to our gorgeous friend and stupidly amazing stylist Andrea Lieberman for literally giving us the one dress that inspired us to blog!

We super heart this Hippie meets City chic dress. Yes, we know it was not meant to be a wedding dress persay but it totally can be. Wear soft nude heels or sandals for a beachy hippie vibe or crazy rad booties for a "watch the fuck out Pat Fields" vibe.

Can't afford the A.L.C. version? Asos gives us this lil diddy...

So he owns Urban, Anthro, Free Peeps, We the Free and now the man that brought us our faves brings us BHLDN . A super rad bridal boutique for us cool kids! Thank god! No more fluff and frill!

We heart this black and white ruffled version! And paired with red heels or leopard? Um yes please!!!

Hello stupidly gorgeous water color dress from BCBG!!

Wowo! This has NYC written all over it! Slick hair, amazing makeup and diamond cuffs for days would be gorge with this simple yet sexy dress.

If Carrie was gonna get Married to big on the beach she would totally wear this dress from Halston.

(sorry for the slightly dated example...we still watch SATC everyday on E!)

But whats a dress without A-mazing shoes???? Yup...just a dress-ish..

And for the raddest bridal heels EVER??!!!!

Thank you Mr. TWH for mama's fave heels she got for xmas...and the best thing is... they come in white and nude. So all of your insanely rad badass ladies can rock these Sam Edelman's with your dress!!! YOU ARE TOTALLY WELCOME!!!!!!!!

Be you...be rad! F what everyone says...your wedding is YOUR day!

See you soon!

Decor 2 Die 4- Last minute holiday hostess gifts.

Here we are just 2 days away from the big day itself! Christmas day!

If you are anything like us, you have been shopping up to the last minute, and you still have some to do...

Well, don't feel too bad about it, even Santa waits till the last minute to drop off his gifts!!

But you never want to show up at a holiday party empty handed, so here are some last minute ideas for your host & hostess this holiday season.

3 reasons why pretty flowers are the perfect gift...

1. One size fits all.

2. Everyone (mostly) loves them.

3. Once the holiday is over only the memory of your thoughtfulness lingers....

(As opposed to that wool Reindeer Sweater that Aunt Maggie knitted and takes up WAY too much of your closet space... Thanks Aunt Mags!)

Another great gift for the last minute shopper... BOOZE!

Grab a bottle of Wine or really nice Scotch

(Macallan 18)

Skip the errr, festive bottle stoppers, and instead add a nice pair of wine or highball glasses!

(Mrs. Lilien)

Don't even have time to go grab pretty glasses? Take the lesson now and get to know yourself! Order these cute labels for next year, so you are never caught without a personal touch added to your last minute gift!!

Trust us, order them NOW and put them in your desk drawer! You can thank us at the end of 2011!!

If you live anywhere within a 15-20 minute radius of an Anthropologie store, you have no excuse for yourself...

Honestly this store is like the "hostess gift" shopping equivalent to great sex.... If you can't find something here to make you happy, then you are just being too picky!

Give this pretty Capri candle as a gift and watch the scene unfold sort of like this...

"Thank you for inviting me over for Christmas dinner Mrs. My-New-Boyfriends mom...

Here is a beautiful silver candle that smells like Heaven...

Well, yes I am a pretty special girl, thank you for noticing... You do have a lucky son and yes your right, I AM good enough for him."

If it comes down to it... A box of chocolate will work in the pinch...

Really you could take the time to make a homemade sweet gift for your sweet friend, but when your outta time, your outta time!

Just make sure that the box is pretty and the chocolate is GOOOOOD!

We wish you a Merry Christmas filled with lots of love and goodness! Remember that for as much crap as we talk over here at T-W-H the very BEST gift you can give or get is love, loyalty, laughter and of course... Lanvin.

XOXO- Things-We-Heart
