loving the gold and neon

getting a neon orange tom dixon bag was a big deal...it was like being at walmart at 4 am on black friday. they ran out the first day, nuts.

his booth was pretty sexy i must say.

marty's sock puppets

a few weeks ago i discovered a man named... marty. he makes these funky sock puppet characters, takes their portrait, and then pops them into a frame - sizes from mini to extra large. i like following marty on twitter because he'll tweet his location and tell you the what to say when you find him for a discount... i need to find him soon and shout out the magic words because i would love one or two of these portraits. they bring a smile to my face.

weird or love?

a rockaway gem

i love benjamin noriega-ortiz of bno design and his partner steven of and bob's your uncle. they are such sweeties and are very down to earth... i seriously enjoy being in their company. i remember hearing them talk about their home at rockaway beach so i was happy to see the finished product in the nymag home and design section. they love bling, soft/furry, and feathers... and i think it's a big part why i love them so much. take a look at their marie antoinette inspired get away. super fabulous i must say...

such a fan of this pink monochromatic bedroom. loooove the fur and the sheers - check out their kitty lucifer.

see the feathers? abyu specializes in sassy custom light fixtures like the one above the table {i plan to buy one - one day}.

what a dream!

benjamin and steven en route to their beach pad... such an adorable picture of the two.

i would run away to this gem any chance i could get! adorable isn't it? way to go boys!

everyday objects on your wall

let me begin this post by saying i am a lover of wallpaper... i am always on the hunt for new wallpaper companies so when i found soy este [wallpapers inspired by everyday objects] i fell in love right away, then i thought...i want to use these right away! how often do you see band aid wallpaper? or saltine crackers wallpaper? i bet never right? that's why these papers are so beyond bomb.com! take a look at my fave from the website...

band aids

q tips

i spent today in a crappy ear doctor clinic and kept thinking how awesome it would be if the walls were covered in q tip wallpaper?! band aids too- if you're a doctor and reading this hire me and let's buy some este paper and make your place amazing!

stick of gum

saltine crackers

new york - move dance

empire state of mind may be a cliche new york song...i know - things are changing and this song reminded me that in new york you can really do whatever you want, and i will [try at least]. if you can make it here, you can make it anywhere - right frank?

oh and for the video... this was a dance me and my two gal pals choreographed last year at utah state. i really do miss dancing with those kiddos! i saw a few of my friends from my dance team while i was at usu last week so after hearing empire state of mind and after seeing my dance buddies i thought it was a good time to put up this video. i am in the lime green [one of my fav colors] enjoy.

a funky find...

i discovered this quirky company the other day and immediately thought...this is blog worthy! selettie has some really interesting furniture & products like fancy smacy toilet brushes. take a look at my wishlist of selettie pieces...

will + kate

i didn't catch royal wedding fever until i watched a barbara walters special about a week before the big day. the wedding happened while i was home in utah...perfect!  i'm not ashamed to admit i stayed up all night to watch! my mom, her friend, my sister, and my good friend made a party out of it...we wore our pj's and our special hats, we ate croissants, krispy kreme cake, fruit, and orange juice... we loved it! i remember as a little girl staying up late to watch diana's funeral- i even had a crush on prince william...so i had to watch! i love the fact that kate "a normal girl" is now in line to be the queen of england...can you say fairytale!? sounds like every girl's dream!! how could you not want to watch? crazy to think one third of the world (says the ny times) was watching. later on friday we watched will & kate the movie (super cute) we were expecting cheeeesy but it was actually really cute and i enjoyed learning about their 8 yr history, you can watch it online here (you should watch!). can i just say kate was one of the most gorgeous brides i have ever seen! loved her dress, her hair, and i love that she did her own make up (and how they won't have servants...just in case you were wondering).

i sound like a crazy person blabbing on about the royal wedding - but it was so nice to watch everyone be so excited and happy about a marriage...yes i am a romantic, so how could i not enjoy watching the royal wedding? check out some of my favorite images from their wedding day.

(wonderful images from getty images and zimbio)



hadsome couple- i think they will make some beautiful little nuggets!



i think this may have been my favorite part, so cute watching the brothers come out dressed in their uniforms. do you think princess diana would have sat between them on the ride to the abbey? i do.

the first look at her dress- go sarah burton go! kate is goooorgeous! another random fact- her something blue was a blue ribbon sewn into her dress, her something borrowed was the tiara from the queen, and her something new were her earings from her parents.

i loved how will was the last person...in the world (of the millions watching) to see his bride. the smile on his face was priceless!

amen sista!

the duke and duchess of cambridge!

this screams fairytale!! cinderella anyone?

i looooved this shot!

greeting thousands

the sweet kiss... will's goddaughter doesn't look too happy.

the royal party



i loved her dress for their party!! love- love- love- fuzzy and bling, just how i like it! her waiste is teeny meeny ey?



cheers you cuties!

ok...make fun of me or whatever for being semi obsessed...but i honestly wish them

 a happily ever after!!
