2 very handsome men and a house.

and those 2 handsome men...

both of whom i have secret crushes on...

are nate berkus and jeremiah brent.

you know nate berkus.

but did you watch rachel zoe last season?

because then you'd also know jeremiah brent.

(i did and i thought she was nuts for letting him go.)

but they are now together,

making house dreams come true. together.

in the hollywood hills.

cue the envy!!

i wish i had the restraint to dress my home in a variation of three colors, plus the original mint kitchen. it's so beautiful.

i follow them both on instagram, and they truly look happy together.

and that makes me happy for them.

all this found in the latest harper's bazaar.

[read in your best jersey accent, please:]

buddery swoft leathuh.

[end accent now.]

but i'm not going to lie, kinda looking forward to some cooler weather

so i can implement some leather into my post-summer-early-fall wardrobe.

all of these perfect examples of still warm but a little chilly outfits.

want.

how do i want to add it in with my other stuff you ask?

with leather shirts:

maje metallic leather tee, net-a-porter

and skirts of

karl saatchi pleated faux leather mini

and even some

j.brand

pleather and waxed denim are 1- much cheaper than the real junk

and 2- more animal friendly.

now. i love myself some fur, but i buy those vintage so i'm not killing new animals...

but leather.

it's just so soft and supple.

but i will make an effort to try to do the waxed/pleather thing over the real stuff.

promise.

happy monday.
