{Restoration Hardware}

By any chance have you been in the newly renovated Restoration Hardware? I was shocked over the weekend to find a completely new store. I love the look and I've got to give the designers a standing ovation for being so bold to change up their entire line overnight. If I could squeeze in one complaint - the prices are insane, and the scale of some of the items are rather large {for those that live in apartments or small houses} BUT nevertheless, every.single.piece. is simply lovely and fantastic. I have a wish list already started {bedding (click here to see it) and towels not shown below but are always on my Resto wishlist} and lucky for me I have a good friend that works there and gets....wait for it, 40% off!!! Sh-mazing right? Still, I have a lot of saving up to do, but now these items aren't so out of reach for me. Check out the list...

{Must have this spot light and tufted couch. The light it $1500 and the couch $3000 - see what I mean about the insanity? But so lovely, right?}

{I've always wanted an Eames classic chair - but I kinda think I love this more. Wouldn't this leather chaise and shiny silver floor lamp be the perfect furniture for a corner reading nook? I want!}

{Love these accessories...doesn't the hour clock remind you of when Dorthy was trapped in the tower in the Wizard of Oz? Lol!}

{You know I am a fan of both subway sign art and chalkboards - so of course I would love these. Again, I could do the look for less - but sometimes I just want the real deal - and I want these...}

Impressive huh? Are you currently standing up giving a slow clap shaking your head from side to side in amazement? Lol!!!

{Come Fly With Me....}

10 days and counting!!! I have 2 more things to pick up and I will finally be finished with all of my pre-Italy shopping. Now that I'm almost finished, I need to start putting my packing lists together to ensure that I have absolutely everything I need for my suitcase and my carry-on. Below are several staple items {ipod, gum, gossip magazine, a good book, a cardigan or jacket in case the plane is cold, a neck pillow, Mentos (fresh goes better with Mentos, fresh and full of life - lol!!), my travel journal, sunglasses, chapstick, hand sanatizer, and of course my passport} that I can't live without while traveling...

What's on your travel list? Anything you can't live without?

{Weekend Plans}

TGIF Peeps!!!

So what are your plans for the weekend? Do you have any fun and/or exciting planned? Whatever you decide to you - enjoy and even if it's only 15 minutes, do something just for you!

{A Bunch of Randomness...}

I'm feeling a little random this morning, so my post today is going to reflect exactly that...random.

{There's something about hot air balloons that I just love. I came across this fantastic pic that not only includes hot air balloons, but they are in my favorite colors - mustard and gray. Love! Click here to purchase the pic and to browse through the entire shop}

{You had me at Leather Tote. Isn't this fabulous? Click here to view this fantastic bag and the rest of this lovely shop}

{I am a collector of many things, and boxes to hold "stuff" in are one of those many. I really really love these and think they could be the perfect accessory to the perfect gift. For example if someone wanted to buy me the Michele watch I've been obsessed over for my birthday 1 month from today {clearing throat} this would be the perfect box to put it in {clearing throat again}. Click here to see more of these amazing boxes}

{I also collect the letter "J". [NOTE - as your searching the web and /or out vintage and flea market shopping, if you ever come across a HUGE (as in over 3 foot tall) letter J, I beg you to let me know where you see it. I saw one on Etsy about a year ago, and of course procrastinated a little too long and someone bought it ~ I've been obsessed ever since.] Click here to visit this vintage shop - they have every letter in the alphabet...}

See I told you, a bunch of randomness...but sometimes that's ok, right?
