for the kids

Even though all of these items are made for kids, I think they would fit in pretty well in any adult room. I especially love that they are a fraction of the price that would be charged at their parent stores for the exact same thing. PBteen has it for the rugs, RHbaby has some great neutrals, and Land of Nod has some fabulous lighting and bedding... those shams are coming home with me!

They would be a good pop of color for our bedroom, no?

Now I'm trying to decide which of those rugs will go in my kitchen, and which lamp will make it onto my desk!

P.S. How about those closing ceremonies last night? I'm not going to lie, I originally only started watching to see the Spice Girls reunion (you know you did, too!), but I ended up loving the entire thing.

Instagram updates

We visited a local food truck gathering last week. They now set up every Monday night at this location. We could be in trouble!

Yummy portobello and bacon + peanut butter sliders from the Easy Slider truck! That's also some spicy mac n' cheese in the background that was delish.

The beginning of this painting project -- I told you my roller was small!

Still loving our Prada Marfa picture.

I've been trying to track down an Anthropolgie ikat bowl for quite some time, but I finally found a look-alike on clearance at Zgallerie!

This was from awhile ago, but... free ice cream sammies!

interview

Wish me luck. I'm going on an interview today, and I'll probably be in the middle of it while you're reading this! Everyone buys new clothes for interviews, right? I always feel my most confident in a new outfit. Since it's currently 50,000 degrees outside I had to find something that was lightweight, but still looked professional. I chose this striped cardigan and black wide-leg trousers from Gap. I'll let you know how it goes...
