Girls Season 2: Almost Getting it Kind of Together

The image above is pretty much how I looked every time I watched an episode of HBO's Girls this season. Zoned into my laptop while having distressed emotions about all four of the girls (and the boys too) and yet unable to look away or stop watching. 

Okay, sometimes I also yell at the characters and tell them that they are making poor choices. Skwisgaar can vouch for that, he always watches with me. So after 10 episodes this is my take on the sophomore season of the show and the characters.*

*Just incase you didn't see this coming, I am going to write about the entire season, so there are going to be big spoilers. If you haven't finished watching, bookmark this post now and come back to read it later. Seriously, please come back...

Chocolate Stout cupcakes from Gigi's Cupcakes on Oberlin Rd. It was (haha delicious past tense) a Chocolate Guinness cake with Bailey's Irish Cream Cheese Frosting! They do a great job using Instagram for marketing and showing off their daily cupcake flavors.

 My dream hair! I might have to take this to the salon...

If you are a fan of HBO Girls, you should check out all of the pins in this Behind the Scenes pinboard from the official Girls Pinterest collection. There are some amazingly insightful articles that go inside the story and characters. 

 Mermaid scale tattoo + mermaid scale metallic leggings!? Yes please.

Girls Home Decor: Mermaid Bookends

Special talents are called such because they are special, not everyone has the same one. One of mine is spotting mermaids wherever I go. Even if it is tiny, blurry, or tucked away in a corner behind a rack of scarves, I will spot it. I could make a blog mini-series of mermaid sightings, but the downside of my special talent is that it's self serving, I'm really the only one who cares, haha. 

Anyway, this mermaid was spotted in this week's episode of Girls in Shoshana's bedroom. It is a beautiful Kalalou Turquoise Ceramic Mermaid Bookend piece. I think she would find a happy home holding up cookbooks amongst tiki cups and a lei or two.
