..::Divine Design::..

Last week I received one of the biggest compliments of my life from a complete stranger. I arrived home from the gym on Friday afternoon to a crowd of people standing outside my apartment door. I was sweaty and not in the mood to entertain, but I quickly realized my apartment manager was among the bunch. Clearly she was about to show my apartment without asking me and that had me a little peeved. Luckily she was showing it to a cute blonde girl who was accompanied by her mom and sister and I could see the excitement on her face, so I remained calm and collected and graciously invited them in to take a look around. I was happy to see that someone had made my bed for me that morning (scoring some major brownie points due to this impromptu apartment viewing). The young girl walked around gushing over how perfect the apartment was and how she wanted to decorate it just like I had done. Her mom agreed and added, "It looks like something right out of Apartment Therapy." WOW! I was floored and beyond excited by the wonderful compliment to my decorating and design skills. Needless to say I'm even more excited to begin decorating my new apartment. The moving countdown has begun...

..::Tick, Tock, Clock::..

Time. Time. TIME. There's never enough of it, right? At least that's how I always feel. I'm off to Vegas this afternoon for the rest of the week to do a major installation. As always things will be slightly hectic, but oh so rewarding once we are finished. I know its only Monday, but I can't wait to be sitting on the plane coming home on Friday to celebrate a special someone's birthday for the weekend. I've got all sorts of tricks up my sleeve and keeping secrets has never been my forte so I'm ready for it all to come out already! Till then....tick tock goes the clock. On a side note, I think this is a really cute idea for a wall in a living room. Now I'm wishing I would've picked up the pink vintage clock I spotted at the flea market yesterday. Oh well. Maybe next time.

..::Paint Party::..

It's funny how sometimes what I'm doing in real life seems to pop up via the internet at the same time. I found this photo on one of my fav blogs, Design Love Fest, and consequently I happen to be covered in those exact paint colors as I type. Our summer installation has me painting up a storm and literally coming home with my work all over me! I had a man come up to me at the gym to tell me that I had something pink all over my arm. Haha. Love it.

..::Wish-list Wednesday::..

Wishing for some new items for my new apartment....well hopefully my new apartment. I should know by tonight if it's mine. I'm thinking that the Hello Kitty magnet left on the fridge by the previous tenant is a sign that this apartment was meant for me. Fingers crossed. This place has 3 closets....you can imagine what that means for a girl who has been living with one closet for the last year. HEAVEN ON EARTH.

..::Sugary Sweetness::..

Everyone deserves to wake up on a bed full of pillows that look like dessert. I know I'd definitely wake up on the right side of the bed after a night of sugary sweet dreams.

..::Small Spaces::..

Its happening again. The urge to move. The need for space. Closet space. Kitchen counter space. Storage space. I've outgrown my Beverly Hills Mansion. Although I dread giving up my coveted zip code, I think it might be time for a new adventure. I have approx. one day to put in my 30 day notice and find a new home. I'd say I'm off to a fairly good start after seeing two apartments today. One is def in the running for my new abode and the other might as well have been a crack den. Just saying.

..::Fiesta, Fiesta::..

Cinco de Mayo will always hold a special place in my heart - I mean who doesn't love a colorful fiesta?!?! Jokes aside, my love for mexican beer doesn't hold a candle to the fact that I graduated college on Cinco de Mayo and that was truly unforgettable. I can hardly believe its been 4 years already. Where does the time go? This year I'll be celebrating the Seis de Mayo at a small fiesta with some of my closest friends. Of course I'll be bringing along my famous 7 layer bean dip as well as another surprise in the form of a date. Something tells me that this will be another Cinco de Mayo for the books, just saying. Pass the margaritas por favor.

..::Show and Tell::..

There are days in life where I just want to tell everyone to fuck off. This picture is a perfect example of how I'd like to do it someday.

Speaking of HOT - Summer has finally decided to show its face here in LaLa Land. So ready for a few days beach side in the near future!

..::April Showers Bring May Flowers::..

What better way to start the month than waking up to the most beautiful orange Gerber Daisy from someone special. Things in my world are about to get a little crazy for the next 4 weeks, but you know I love a little crazy in my life.
