Monday wishlist

I wish for this cutie sparkly jacket.

I wish for a barn on my vineyard to host little lunches in.

I wish for these awesome books and bookends.

I wish for that mannequin, that dresser and that trunk (and the whole room, I s'pose).

I wish for the cutest button cakes that you ever did see.

I wish for this Zara suitcase for all of my worldly adventures.

That is all. You may proceed.

Hi peeps! Well one of my favorite holidays is officially upon us. Last night Melissa and I threw a little Thanksgiving potluck with some girlfriends and it was so much fun! Although they did find out that we sneakily (or not-so-sneakily) bought the bird pre-made :( woopsies. Oh well, our apt looked so cute and that's really all that matters, right? Well I'm leaving on Wednesday with my family to head up north to stay with my aunt for Thanksgiving this year. I'm hoping she doesn't already have a set menu, because I've been perusing recipes all week. Below are some of the recipes that I'm deciding between (dessert first, always):

- apple crisp: http://deliciouslyorganized.blogspot.com/2010/10/apple-crisp.html (Kev and I made this on Saturday, and it's super easy and super delicious!)
- mashed sweet potato brulee http://www.browneyedbaker.com/2010/11/19/mashed-sweet-potato-brulee/
- mini vanilla bean cheesecakes http://www.handletheheat.com/2010/11/mini-vanilla-bean-cheesecakes-with.html
- Creamed corn with bacon http://www.foodchannel.com/recipes/recipe/cheesy-cream-corn-with-smoky-bacon/
- super duper easy roasted brocolli: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/melissa-darabian/roasted-broccoli-with-parmesan-recipe2/index.html
-mashed cauliflower: http://www.elanaspantry.com/mashed-cauliflower/ (dad said I can't make this because it's too healthy :( my dad, a twig, likes manly stuff or whatever. But I love them so I might do it anyways tehehee)

Happy eatin'!

Kitchen krush

Not necessarily my style, but the set up is per-fect-o! A huge island, lots of windows and natural lighting, hardwood floors, a lovely stove, and if it opens up to the living room, well then I am SOLD.

A girl can never have too many.

Happy Friday! Happy leopard print!

Two of my forever favorite things: Fridays and leopard print, oh ya want it all. Well this weekend should be pretty low-key, which I'm more than excited for, as this next month is going to be jam-packed with fun times. My weekend started off great with a wonderful dinner at one of my favorite restaurants, Manchego (a must-go tapas place in Santa Monica) with the bf last night. Seriously people, you need to go. It's reasonably priced (VERY), it's BYOB with NO CORKAGE FEE, and the ambiance is perfect. Go, and tell them Chariese sent you (jk they'll have no idea what you're talking about). Anyhow, tonight I'll be making some crafty goodies with Adri and Alex for little Bella and watching the Lakers get another W. Tomorrow, I'll be getting some biznass done and then making dinner and enjoying the rain (PLEASE PLEASE LET IT RAIN), then Sunday Melissa and I are throwing a little Thanksgiving potluck with some old Thetas at our apt. Should be a lovely weekend, hope yours is too!

I see what I want

Chandelier and head board= gimme

Le fog

It's gloomy and foggy today and I just want to go home and snuggle and drink wine and watch the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Le sigh.

Golden Girl

Gimme those gold nails, you lady!

Like a bird

Um excuse me I want this. I don't think my roommates would mind if I hung one in the middle of our apartment living room. Really, I think they'd love for me to be nice and nestled watching Millionaire Matchmaker in my bird's nest.

Hi Party People!

I'm so excited that it's Friday and I get to celebrate TWO friends birthdays tonight and tomorrow! PLUS the bf surprised me with tickets to the Usher concert on Sunday! WOOOO awesome weekend oh ya!

For starters, I'll take those AWESOME gold Hunter rainboots as well as those Frye riding boots. But of course I'll need that JCrew sweater to match. And if it starts to rain, I'm definitely going to need that there Hermes umbrella and blanket. That's all.

Le Organization

I know I'm getting old when things like this impeccably-organized linen closet turn me on...

Bag Trim

How sweet are these Valentino bags??? It's brass knucks and a clutch all in one!

Yep, I'd die for this

I would, I'm not lying. This is perfection.

Friday, finally

Such a long week, SO ready for this 3-day weekend.

Loving everything about this room. I want it all. If not, those suitcases alone shall suffice.

I'm loving the color scheme of this place, especially on a cool fall day like today. The subtle hints of pink and purple are a perfect touch.
