OK, so I’m not always such a huge fan of Jake Gyllenhaal. I guess I just felt like I would be one of the many, right? Who doesn’t like this guy? But I have to say I was pretty impressed with the pretty when I first saw the trailer for Prince of Persia – maybe my attraction would be more active if Jake just walked around topless all the time. Just sayin’, Jakey Poo. 
First off, I’d like to announce the winner of the Where the Wild Things Are giveaway:

So it’s pretty evident that the hubs and I have pretty clear plans of what we have in mind with each room in our new home and our office is no different. This will mainly be the hubs’ haven so he got artistic control, but I absolutely loved his ideas and what he wanted to do with the space. Being a designer, he was looking for a neutral work space to not clutter his environment so that it wouldn’t hamper his creativity. I just ordered this amazing white wash floor from Lumber Liquidators to keep with the clean, sleek look of the room:
It was also a steal at 0.59/sq.ft. – couldn’t beat that deal!
These are also some great inspiration pictures that have tickled our pickles:
I’m going to have to forego posting about my weekend this Monday so that I can pay homage to the Oscars Red Carpet – afterall, I know celebrity gawking and gossip is way more entertaining than my own life, right? Right.
I have to say that I was a bit disappointed with the level of glamor this year at the Oscars. It seemed like everyone was “playing it safe” when it came to their gown choice. Everyone’s outfits kind of resembled dresses I would see being worn at any black tie wedding. I mean, I’m sure they are thousands of dollars more, but you get me?
Although there weren’t many, here are my favorites from the night:
And my not so favorites:
So what did you guys think? Do you agree? Disagree?
Have a fabulous week, everyone!
1. Eat Drink Chic
As you all know, I check a series of blogs on a regular basis to gather inspiration and keep up to date with what’s hot and what’s not. Unfortunately, This week it has been a little tough for me to keep up with my long list of favorite blogs, but I was lucky enough to stumble on one new favorite: Eat Drink Chic! The creator of this blog, Amy, is a graphic designer from Australia that states that the blog is “an exploration of style,” allowing her to experiment with wearing different hats. Not only are her posts beautiful, enjoyable and fun, but I definitely find her feelings towards her blog mirror my own towards Melificent. I can only hope my blog can be as wonderful as hers in the near future!
