Lovable Friday!

I may have verbally squealed when I saw this on a friend’s pinterest board. It’s just all sorts of adorable and…it’s pink! If you are a camwhore like myself (hey, I’m honest), a handy dandy tripod that can be carried with you on your bag or purse is a must-have. I can especially see its benefits now that I am doing this 30-day fashion challenge, so I can see it being extremely useful for a fashion blogger. Needless to say, I sent it over to the hubs as a possible Valentine’s Day “stocking stuffer” so to speak, and he replied with, “bought.” Isn’t he the greatest? Want your own? Buy it here!

While looking at this rug, I immediately started singing Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zero’s Home. That obviously made me realize I had to have it. But, seriously, this is too cute to pass up. This heart-shaped door mat is sure to put a smile on anyone’s face, including your own as you pass through the threshold day in and day out. And who doesn’t need a smile lately? Pick one up for your love nest for only $24 here!

I am really loving the chalkboard phase that’s going on in decor right now. I, myself, used some chalkboard paint in my kitchen and I think it serves as such a sweet little sounding board for the hubs and I. Granted, it’s mainly me leaving sweet little love notes, but I digress (hint, HINT). Anywhooo, these labels are both trendy and pretty to look at, but also serve a great organizational purpose. I really like that they can be reused constantly (removable and erasable), so budget conscious! This is a must buy once we start our epic garage project of 2011!

I find it impossible that I had never heard of Wildfox Couture until now, as it screams MELI! in the worst possible way. Their oversized sweatshirts and rock and roll loose-fitting tees are paired with loud and edgy tights or leggings, with equally bright and fun accessories, like this kick ass scarf. Unfortunately, awesome comes with a not-so-awesome price tag. This grungy casual wear will set you back a hundred bucks plus for the majority of the items. This is when the budget savvy diva in me makes an appearance – visit Ebay to score these pieces for a fraction of the price! Who says you have to go broke to look good?

I love beer. Unfortunately, I’ve had to scale back my intake due to medical issues, but I probably still drink more beer than you do (do I smell a challenge?). Although I am not proud to admit to this (OK, so maybe I am), often when we go out to cool pubs or dive bars, I steal pint glasses. I have a pretty good collection going, but it’s like a compulsion – want.more.beer.glasses. Now, before you sign me up for TLC’s My Strange Addiction (how weird IS that show), I have to say that I would go the traditional route and actually purchase these cuties from Gama-Go. Unfortunately, it seems like they are pretty hard to find, but I was able to stumble on a couple on Amazon. The Yeti and squid wreck are definitely my favorites! Also, check out the rest of the Gama-Go site for some really cool & one of a kind items!
