IKEA Summer

Although it is only March, IKEA has already released its summer items and that means everyone better put on their running shoes!

Last year, I was super excited about their summer line, but by the time I got to the store they were completely sold out. They then managed to remain unavailable for the entirety of the season. IKEA doesn’t make it easy either by basically not offering anything through their online store. So this year I have my game face on and am ready to put up a fight!

What am I looking to pick up while I’m there?

Well, although we have a very small patio, it is a patio and needs some major TLC. We have a lot of parties at our pad and people love to hang out back there. Problem? There really is nowhere to hang out! Plus, we just got a grill and have been having BBQ’s regularly – it would be really nice to for our friends to be able to pick up their burger and be able to sit down & enjoy it outdoors. So my mission is to furnish our small, but cute patio!

Here are some of my favorite items:

ÄPPLARÖ Table
ÄPPLARÖ Table

$29.99
I think two of these sitting next to each other would make for a great outdoor table after treated. I just have to see it person to see if it is tall enough because the website does state that it could be used as an end table or stool. Hmmm.

Hair today, gone tomorrow.

I haven’t cut my hair for 8 months and you can tell.

I tend to hold off this long when I am trying to grow it out because I fear the stylist cutting too much and having to start all over again after I’ve made so much progress. I’m there right now. Even though I don’t want to grow my hair out super long (like it was), I still would like it to hit past my shoulders at some point this year. But right now it’s just so bleh.

So I’m going to make an appointment for next month, but I need help!
Help me pick a style – which number should I go with:

Concert Season

My hubs and I are concert goers. Seeing live music is one of my main hobbies. I enjoy it so much. There really is nothing like seeing one of your favorite bands live – experiencing the music and sharing it with your closest friends. Unfortunately, Miami doesn’t play host to many great bands but that seems to be changing as of late. We’ve had a lot of great bands coming through our area for once, which makes me really excited and hopeful that we will get even more!

This summer is especially jam packed with musical goodness. I have tickets to see 4 different artists and it’s only March! And they are all wonderful. Want to know who?

Kings of Leon
May 7th, 2009

Kings of Leon are just good rock and roll. And I’m a good rock and roll kind of girl. I was hooked on first listen and was lucky enough to see them open for Pearl Jam back last summer. They were amazing and I hoped and prayed that they would come back headlining their own show. And what do you know? Here they are! I scored floor tickets and will be sharing the fun with my good friend & forever concert buddy, Elissa. It should be tons of fun.

Weekend Highlights

Since I don’t post on weekends, I’ve decided that maybe Monday’s should recap all the fun or maybe not-so-fun things that happened Friday through Sunday. Does that sound like a good idea? Let me know! You all know I love comments & I don’t get enough of them!

So here we go, my weekend roundup:

– I finished watching the So NoTORIous episodes. It was hilarious. I want my own GBFF.
– Gwen became very concerned while watching Tori’s pug, Mimi La Rue.
– OK, I just discovered Mimi La Rue died. Sadness! May the little ham stuffed in a doile rest in peace.

1. 500 Days of Summer
1. 500 Days of Summer

This movie just instantly had me. And I haven’t even seen it. In fact, it won’t come out until July but there is just something to its lovable quirkiness that makes me certain that it will be one of my all time favorites. The movie is about Tom, a hopeless romantic, that is caught off guard when his girlfriend, Summer, breaks up with him. This causes him to go back and relive all 500 days that they were together to try to see where they went wrong. Hint: it wasn’t in the fashion or looks department. These two are absolutely adorable! Check out the trailer here.
