Downton Abbey...

OK...so I must say a few words regarding this...

I don't have too many TV shows that I love these days... there are only a handful really... Favorites: Castle, Modern Family, Parks and Recreation {as you know, I've talked about my love for that show before}, The Office, The Vampire Dairies {don't judge me} and now Downton Abbey has made the list:)

I have recently become hooked on Downton Abbey... all my friends absolutely raved about it. I wanted to see what all the fuss was about and before I knew it this was me every night...as soon as my kids were down {or sometimes before} me, cozy pjs, fuzzy socks, nestled in my blankets, sometimes with cocoa and my iPad... 3 Seasons worth! Just finished Season 3 last night! Oh my goodness, what a roller coaster! But I love it and HIGHLY recommend it! You can watch on Amazon Prime Instant Video, iTunes, probably Netflix, Hulu and latest episodes on PBS.com {Although I don't recommend the online player it was really slow, but the iPad app was wonderful!}

Try it!... I know you will love it!

new red coat...

so for christmas i asked for a red coat. and coats are hard to find for me. i am petite and have narrow shoulders and freakishly short arms... so to find a coat that fits me well and doesn't look bulky is a challenge. but then, one night while i was watching one of my favorite shows, 'parks and recreation' on nbc, leslie knope was wearing one of the most fabulous red coats i have ever seen!

you can watch the full episode here
Smallest Park

anywho...so i immediately googled 'leslie knope red coat' and discovered this red coat was within my reach... and it came in petite... and was on sale!! thank you j.crew. you are my friend:)

it's called the double-cloth metro coat in vibrant flame. i noticed leslie also rocks the hthr majestic purple in the episode
