Not only have I been compiling a huge “to do” list for our new home, but I also have been compiling another “want,covet,need” list as well. I thought I’d share a few of those items on the list with all of you! But be warned, they may end up on your own list!
This amazing home address plaque – $125
I had a pretty rough week, so I welcomed Friday night with open arms. Thankfully, we had some pretty great plans. We met up with some of our friends at Trattoria Sole in South Miami for some good eats and equally tasty drinks. I decided to be adventurous and ordered the grilled octopus, which was possibly the best thing I’ve ever had at Sole. Yummy tentacles!
Once Kate Spade was the queen of prep, but I absolutely love the way the brand has evolved over the years. It can still be labeled as preppy, but in such a fun and whimsical way. Their pieces are so girly and fun – I don’t think there is one Kate Spade item I don’t like and these flats are no exception. The gorgeous shade of purple, the adorable little present bow, I just can’t handle it! Get your own for $95 at Zappo’s.
The Bird and The Bee is a unique little duo hailing from the city of Angels. If you haven’t heard their jazz-influenced electro pop, then check out their first two albums, The Bird and The Bee and Ray Guns Are Not Just The Future and let yourself fall in love with their groovy tunes. I was lucky enough to see these two open for Lily Allen back in 2007 and the hubs and I were hooked! You may not recognize their name, but chances are you have heard some of their tracks on such popular TV shows and movies as Grey’s Anatomy, Forgetting Sarah Marshall and Sex & the City: The Movie.
On Tuesday, the band released their third album, Interpreting the Masters Volume 1: A Tribute to Daryl Hall and John Oates. As you can see from the title, it is a tribute to another immensely popular duo, Hall & Oates. One really cool factoid about this album? Rock goddess, Shirley Manson, (of Garbage fame) performs backing vocals on the track, Maneater.
Did that get your attention?

Another exception to my tall boys only rule is Hal Sparks – chock it up to his humor and involvement in one of my favorite shows of all time, Queer as Folk. Also, he has the most adorable school boy looks. Not only does Hal act, but he also performs stand up (just played a couple of shows down here in South Florida – and I missed them!) and is in a band, Zero 1, as lead singer and guitarist. Plus, I’m sure you’ve seen him participating in VH1’s I Love the 80’s (& 90’s &….). I’m an equal opportunity humper and little guys need love too, right? Right! 😉
