Friday Love List

August 12, 2011

Filed Under : EAT - INTERIORS - RECIPES - STYLE

Is it Friday already??  I swear this week just flew by.  3 minutes ago I was typing out my post for M Street Kitchen and now it’s the end of the week.  My super busy work week was to blame, especially this little diddy that was going on.  But you know what?  I really love work.  That’s going to be #1 on my love list this week.  I love my dang job!

  •  I’m also loving this corner of my desk (in my home office – promise to show more soon!), complete with my new favorite Rifle Paper Co. notebook, a Le Pen (a swoonworthy pen, let me tell you), a couple washi tapes, a stamp, and some baker’s twine.
  • These Colby June rings are so gorgeous and I want all of them.
  • Last Friday, we went to First Fridays in Venice, which is an art walk of sorts with lots of food trucks and fun things going on.  LOVED it.
  • It’s a no brainer that I’m obsessed with Destined to Design blog because it has all my favorite elements: design, style, food, typography, and lots more goodness.  She also has one of my favorite Pinterests.
  • These Steven boots are absolutely perfect for the end of summer and the transition into fall.  Need them asap.  Also, I’m gonna throw it out there: I like websites with free shipping.
  • Lusting after this chain bag from Nasty Gal.
  • I want to make this summery salad from Green Kitchen Stories.  That grilled zucchini paired with raw apples and beets looks like a dream come true.
  • Oh hey, our dining table is being delivered today!  It’s a big hunk of wood and I cannot wait to see it.

Hey I kinda like making lists, I decided.  Here are more things I’m lovin’:

Boyfriend and I both have half-days on Fridays (in the summer).  That means a whole extra .5 day to veg out on the couch together and catch up on all our favorite shows.

This kitchen makeover spotted on design*sponge is doing a number on me.  I’m obsessed with literally every aspect of that kitchen, from the reclaimed wood table to the industrial pendant lighting to the concrete slab walls.  Yes, please.

I’ve only recently discovered the amazing world of Pennyweight blog but color me smitten and totallyyyyy in love.

Love any recipe that incorporates quinoa so you can only imagine how much I’m diggin this quinoa & bean burrito with green tomato salsa.

I’ve had this Angus & Julia Stone song stuck in my head all week – but it’s so lovely, I don’t even care that it’s stuck!

Two (and possibly 3) of my most favorite people are coming to visit me this weekend for brunch!  Oh, I love weekends.

Here are just a few things I’m loving lately:

Pouring this blueberry syrup (via designlovefest) in and on everything, especially tea and ice cream.

Having 2 reunions in one weekend: the first, with these guys;
the second, with Danielle, (used to work together and I miss those days) who ALWAYS makes me laugh so hard & forces me to revisit the deepest recesses of my memory by playing music like “What Would You Do” by City High.

9to5Chic blog – that girl knows how to work an outfit, literally.  So chic & effortless.

Searching for the perfect vintage electric fan on Etsy.

These adorable picnic printables on Eat Drink Chic.  Now I want to have a picnic immediately if not sooner.

Kinfolk Magazine – so eclectic and visually inspiring.

The fact that I have a planned hula-hoop contest today.  Winner TBD.

Carmageddon

renegrade craft fair

You may or may not be familiar with the term “Carmageddon.”
It refers to this weekend’s closure of the 405 freeway in Los Angeles and let me tell you, people are in a straight-up frenzy.
Since I live on the westside of LA, I’ll be majorly effected by said Carmageddon and have been advised by many not to leave my apartment this entire weekend.

But, I say to the naysayers, Renegade Craft Fair is this weekend in downtown!
There is no way I’m missing that!  Freeway closure or not, I will get there.

So while most people will do the sane and rational thing of avoiding the roads at all possible,
I will be trekking it downtown (taking the surface streets!) for a craft fair.
Yes, Renegade is that good.

But, of course, as soon as I’ve got my fill of crafting,
I will stay away from the roads and spend my weekend on Pinterest!
Here are some of my favorite pins as of late:
