Hey guys – happy Monday! Was it just me, or was last week somehow one of the longest ever (even though Monday was a holiday? Jigga what?), followed by the most ridiculously short weekend of all time? Woof – so it goes I guess. Just a little round up today of some sexy suit coat and shirt combos for you. Husband is doing lots of presenting for this new job of his and it’s always in a suit, so we’ve had dead-sexy-I’m-a-bad-A-you-should-listen-to-me suit/shirt/tie combos on the brain. Here’s some inspiration for all of us! These are all from trusty Pinterest (specifically my ‘Dear Husband, Please Wear This’ board). Follow along with me for more where this came from! Have a Masterpiece Mystery Monday! Thanks for reading. (Speaking of Masterpiece Mystery… husband and I officially have a new show. Have any of you heard of Grantchester? If you’re a Downton Abbey fan you…
Organizing Your Jewelry
Ok guys! You asked, I’m finally delivering: Creative ways to organize your jewelry, without breaking the bank. This post has been LONG in coming… don’t worry that I literally took these photos a couple weeks before Jack was born. Before Jack was BORN you guys. He’s ten months old. K so now you know something about the current state of my life. Don’t even ask me how many unanswered emails I have stacked up since he was born (Hundreds. The answer is literally hundreds. Heaven help me). But back to the point: am I the only person who has walked into The Container Store and salivated over all the beautiful options they have for organizing every single thing you can think of? And then you check the price tags on these gems and immediately poop your pants? Yeah. Me too. I mean, I’m all for being organized, but I don’t…

Hashtag Amateur
Just a quick little outfit post today, with all the trappings of a solid amateur blogger: fuzzy images, pics taken in the backyard because we were too lazy to go anywhere more legit, too much editing because in reality my face looked like barf that day, not a single pic of me standing in front of the Lincoln Center freezing my arse off in some super hawt NYFW worthy ensemb because let’s be serious – my trash didn’t get invited to a single show (haha). The works people! Just don’t want to keep anyone guessing about the status of good ol’ GBO here. People don’t like change, so I’m here to confirm that I’m pretty committed to staying firmly planted in the soil of fashion blogger mediocrity. Don’t you worry. Most of this outfit is old stuff from good ol’ Target. However, I did want to show you that red…

Tried and True…
Photos by Alysha Smith Happy Hump Day guys! How’s your week been so far? K, call this combo tired and overdone (as in you just posted an outfit that looks almost identical to this Shannon – cool.) – I don’t even currrrrrrrr! I love me a tried and true classic, and black and red for Valentine’s Day is just that. So here it is again! Mostly I just really wanted to show off this amaaaaazing coat that I recently got from Ruche. I didn’t have a ‘formal’ looking coat in my closet, and this one was just too fabulous to pass up. I have to tell you though guys – I wish I would have been wearing these heels with this outfit. That was the intention, and then like an idiot I forgot to bring them to the photo shoot. Dummmmmm! Sad day in the USA. Don’t get me wrong…
