top 10

Happy Friday! It has been forever since I've done a top 10.

10. Spent last weekend in LA. Had a great time. Got a much needed mani/pedi at my favorite nail salon + had my brows done by Sarah Agajanian at Damone Roberts. I have been a client for years and love her. Feeling like a new woman.

9. Enjoyed a lovely walk with my new friend/neighbor Lesley + the pup on Wed and a trip to West Elm on Thurs where I purchased THIS for my bathroom. This is a big deal since I never do things like this on weekdays. I usually work all night.

8.  I started sketching something on my flight to LA last Friday. Just want that noted here so I can remember when that took place. Could I be any more vague?

7. I sold my dresser on craigslist which paid for the cost of my TV console. I made money redecorating. Amazing.
 
 Meet my new console from CB2. Cannot wait for the apartment reveal.
It's still a work in progress but is getting there!


6. I released a new scrapbook kit today + have one releasing next week as well. I am not a scrapbooker but fell in to this + have had fun with it.


5. Looking forward to plans with Shari on Saturday, Ashley on Sat night + Sarah on Sunday. Isn't the blog world amazing? I love it.

4. I featured Alex of Things That Sparkle this week for girls who inspire and instead of simply mentioning the feature she devoted an entire post to my blog. So sweet. She's one of the bloggers that inspired #3.

And in case you missed it, her first client project. Hello, gorgeous!

3. A few of my favorite bloggers have posted photos of sparkly nails this week. I am now completely obsessed with them.
I need this polish.

2. Flipping Out is back, Home by Novogratz premieres July 16th and Bill + Giuliana will return July 18th. I love TV.

1. I love my dog + my white moroccan pouf. Surprised? {insert sarcasm here}. I always choose white. But you'll notice some blue behind the pup. Yes. Color in my apt. Hoping to reveal my place in the next month or two. Stay tuned.


It's going to be a great weekend for me + my eyebrows.

What are you loving this week + what are you up to this weekend?

Whatever you do, have fun!

I adore all of the shows you posted on this one.
And I love the nail polish.

Liz said...

Such a fun top 10! Lots of good things in the making, can't wait to see your apt! Have a wonderful weekend.

MG said...

This is the best top 10 ever. I kept getting more and more excited with each one. The 22 grams of sugar in my stinkin' yogurt might have something to do with that. A Few things: one, so jealous of all you Chicago ladies! Two, that nail polish is insane and I need it yesterday. Three, love your rug! Four, I know your apt will be absolutely gorgeous. And five, I'm so bitter I don't have TV right now. Bravo is such a jerk about putting episodes online!

Things That Sparkle said...

Aww you are too sweet. Thank you so much for the shout out. Have a great weekend xooxo

I love love this post- agree that Alex is fabulous and how fun that you get to meet/see so many bloggers this weekend. Hello nailpolish...the sparkle is amazing. And of course, your sweet pooch is adorable!!

Stephanie @ henry happened said...

oh, so excited that sixx design is coming back! They were my addiction last summer but I missed the finale and never could find it online, bummer. Love your pouf & your new rug!!

Andrea said...

That is a really cool rug and TV consul. I've been meaning to go in to West Elm, but now I think I def have to. It's time to redecorate the bathroom. :) I really like how you paired the sparkles with that color, too!

Sharstin said...

I love these top ten chick, where to begin...your console rocks, the rug is fab, cannot wait for b&g to start up again, and sounds like you are going to have a great weekend!!

Lara {simply irresistible blog} said...

I'm excited to see your apartment reveal! The rug and the TV console are both great pieces.
Have a good weekend!

MJ said...

LOVE the nails! Going to go ahead and tell you that I'm stealing that look for sure.

My eyebrows need some attention too :) I'm just too lazy to do it.

And puppy love is always the best!

Thanks for following me!

I love the sparkly nails. I was going to pick up the gold Deborah Lippmann but I bought Sephora by OPI instead to save money (I got the rose gold one called Traffic, something, something, can't remember the exact name). It works the same as the Deborah Lippmannone.

Tina said...

Oh my gosh I love it all! I'm dying for a morrocan poof and I don't even know what color I would chose! I'm just dying to see your apartment now with these teasers lol

Great list! A mani and pedi sounds so good right now...and that sparkle nail polish is awesome. Hope you have a great weekend!

Bud and Leo said...

Great top 10! I'm right on board with all of them. Especially love Things That Sparkle, upcoming TV shows (obsessed wit them all!) and the nail polish.

Where is your moroccan pouf from?

Stephanie said...

I can't wait for Bill + Giuliana! Have a fabulous weekend!

danielle {breakfast at toast} said...

I purchased the pouf on EBAY for $114! If you search moroccan poufs it will be the 1st or 2nd one that comes up.

Johanna said...

Thank you for reminding me about Guiliana and Bill. My week is now complete.
