a lazy monday

Sorry I ended up being out yesterday last minute with the girlies so never got around to doing a post! 

 

We had a quieter weekend than the last five!  A sweet 2yr old's birthday party, a 007 date night, and some home organizing.  Not sure about you but come January and I am all about white, clean, fresh and crisp.  So it was goodbye to all the Christmas/holiday decor and hello to white hydrangeas, white fresh-smelling candles and a whole-lotta throwing out (donating) the junk and not used "stuff." 

I love the feeling of "purging" and starting the year as close to a minimalist as I can. I put away all the gifts, wrapping stuff and toys (kept some toys packed away to bring out in a few weeks/months.) . . . I will take a few photos from around the house tonight and share but in the meantime here are a few things . . .

My New Years Eve outfit (was going to wear the Zara sequined pants I bought BUT they looked horrible on, so bummed) . . . Black Club Monaco backless jumpsuit (old), House of Harlow leopard booties, vintage Gucci belt (eBay) and my kimono jacket (F21, old)

I saw this on another blog (I can't remember which one or I would have linked it) and I liked it's simplicity.  I'm going to print and post it in my office.  My life could benefit from all of these points!

Mr. Hotpants and I have decided that this year we will be buying a sectional to finish off the family room.  Right now we have our old sofa and two armchairs (a score I found on eBay a few years ago) but we want to have a big, comfy, cozy sectional that we can all lounge around on and watch movies, the Superbowl, the Oscars!  So today I declare the start of the "Sectional Manhunt" . . . that just sounds naughty!

Here are a few inspirational photos . . .
