A request. Okay, two requests.

#1:
The Alyssa Said Hi Facebook Page is officially live!! I would LOVE it if you would go like it. It's lonely over there right now.

I'll be beefing it up over the next few days, but if any of you have any tips/tricks, send them my way!

#2:

Do you see this beautiful specimen right here? This is Stevie. If you've read my blog for any length of time, you know that I have a pretty serious Stevie-boner pretty much all the time. She's the actual best human.

What you may not know is that she's been having a bit of a rough time lately. She talks about it on her blog today, so I would also really, really love it if you would head on over to her blog and show her some love. This community never ceases to amaze me with its supportive nature, so I know this won't be any different.

She's handling everything being thrown at her right now like the poised, beautiful, wonderful woman, which isn't surprising, because like I said, she's the best. But we all need some lovin' sometimes, right? So go work your magic, bloggy friends. Thanks in advance.

Also, as it currently stands, that sweet hat will not be a part of the wedding celebrations, which is terribly unfortunate. I think it's a pretty good look.

I know, I know. I'm asking a lot of you today. I'm sending you all virtual hugs and cupcakes. (And real ones for any of you I might ever meet in real life.)

Mani Monday + Three Things on my Lust List

It's Monday, so I feel obligated to recap my weekend, so here goes: beer, dog snuggles, DVRed TV shows, coffee.

Got all that? Good.

Also, did anyone watch the Tonys last night? AMAZE.

Now, let's get on to more important things, like what's on my fingernails right now:

This weeks mani is Zoya Skylar. Zoya is far and away my favorite polish brand, and the light blue with flecks of beige make this a perrrrrfect spring color.

Three things I'm totally lusting over right now:

aka things I would only buy if I won a gazillion dollars in assorted giveaways.

1. Black Pom Skirt by Dorothy Perkins

2. MAB Tote by Rebecca Minkoff via Piperlime

3. Kikka Wedge by Splendid (I'll take one in each color, thanks.)

What are you lusting over right now?

Sunday Currently

In news that will surprise everyone no one, I am completely obsessed with (and attached to) this dog. He is wonderful and sweet and playful and such a good dog. Gah. I love him.

Reading The Great Gatsby... we saw it last week (and thought it was really good) so I wanted to reread the book. 

Writing some posts, and going over my blog calendar for the next two weeks!

Listening Love It or List It, and the dog chew on one of his bones that I bought for him. See, it's starting already.

Drinking coffee, as always.

Feeling a little gross and sweaty. It's hot outside, man.

This one is short because there isn't really much going on around here today. I kinda love it.

Happy Sunday!!!!

This week is already over? I know I might be the only one, but I feel like this week went by really fast. I talked about the Real Housewives of New Jersey (did you guys watch? what did you think?!) and talked about drinking some more. On Wednesday, I didn't post anything, and it was WONDERFUL. I'm not going to make a habit of it, but man it felt good. My most popular post was on Tuesday where I taught you how to effectively fight with your partner. If you didn't read it then, you definitely should now. I will await your thanks.

Do you think one of your friends might be a secret agent? Here's an infographic to help you figure it out. Here are fifteen things that Jesus didn't say. Here are 25 Life Lessons that we learned from Gilmore Girls, in gifs obviously. Brian Williams raps 'Ain't nothin' but a G thang" flawlessly. Here are 31 signs you're definitely an introvert.

The LA Times announced that they will no longer be using the term "illegal immigrants" in any of their publications, and it's definitely a step in the right direction. Good for them. In opposite news, Louisana passed a law stating that only heterosexual, married couples are allowed to use a surrogate anymore. Because that's cool. Here's an article that tells you what your favorite Shakespeare movie says about your enemies. Here are five things you should know about the military sexual assault hearings.

As it turns out, champagne is good for you! This improves my weekend plans of Netflix and champagne tremendously. I'm finally going to catch up on season four of Arrested Development this weekend. Everything for my blog is planned out for the next two weeks. I have bright blue nail polish on, and it's definitely brightening up this rainy Friday. I'm ALL CAUGHT UP on emails, and I'm so proud of myself.
