Lovable Friday!

It’s been awhile since I’ve compiled a Lovable Friday due to the holidays! Unfortunately, not a very lovable Friday for me. I’ve been pretty sick the entire week. I guess I’m not cut out for this 40 degree weather in Miami!

Words cannot describe how happy this makes me! South Florida seems to always be the last to get amazing stores: we recently got West Elm and IKEA after years of lusting from afar and have yet to see an H&M (one in Orlando just opened several months ago). I cannot wait to take advantage of their fabulous sales without having to tack on those nasty shipping charges! And just in time for our new home too! The store opens in Lincoln Road Mall on January 14th. See you there 😉

Hunting Season

dec430x300

So I think it’s pretty safe to put it out to the blogosphere now: the hubs & I are actively house hunting! We are excited, being first time home buyers, but I have to admit it’s been frustrating as well. Just recently, we fell in love with what seemed like “the perfect house” – you know those. The ones you can already imagine yourself in, your kids running around, sharing special life moments, etc. That was the one. And unfortunately it had a contract already pending. Just seems like that is always the case with the places we love – someone has gotten to them first!

But we now have our eyes on a definite fixer-upper. I’m having “my people” swing by with me next week to check out how serious the renovations would be and if it would be worth it. Although some people would shudder at the thought, I think both the hubs and I would do great building up a home from scratch. It just has so much potential. I really hope it works out. But, I guess if it doesn’t – there will always be another home begging to be the next Casa Sanchez.

Look forward to more fun house posts as we get deeper & deeper into the hunt & hopefully closer to closing on our very first home!

Weekend Highlights

sat

The majority of the weekend was very quiet with the exception of Saturday. I started off my Saturday with a bit of work at the office and then came home to the total mayhem that is an I/A Collective photoshoot! This week’s model was our dear friend, Kavita, who wanted a Suicide Girls-esque shoot. We had a blast picking out her outfits, fighting with bondage tape and jumping on beds. Basically, just another day at la Casa Sanchez. I do remember some video footage of a certain someone jumping on our bed in a leather bodysuit & a red cape speaking of how she “uses her powers for good,” but unfortunately I was not the one filming. So you’ll just have to take my word that it was an epic afternoon.

Later that night, we finally visited Yard House, the new “in” place to be in Miami. It’s located in Merrick Park in Coral Gables and boasts to have the world’s largest selection of draft beer. I was definitely not disappointed. The food was great, the beer was even better (I picked up 2 Dead Guy Ale’s) and of course, spending time with our closest friends is always appreciated. The only downside to the entire experience was the long wait to sit at a table. We waited over an hour and that was only because my friends placed a “call in” beforehand. I’ve heard horror stories from others that they have waited 3 hours + to get seated. So word to the wise: get there before 7pm if you don’t want a wait of epic proportion!

Weekend Highlights: Band From TV Edition!

I knew Saturday was going to be all sorts of awesome, but I have to say the night surpassed all my expectations! First, I got to meet the amazingly awesome (& hawt) blogger, Rosy, from Accidental Sexiness (follow her blog if you don’t already!). We had been following each other on Twitter for a few weeks, sharing our love for Heroes, tall men & all things British. It was such a treat to finally meet her in person and get to share such an amazing experience along with her. I have to say that she is one great partner in crime!

After beginning our night the way we promised we wouldn’t (by drinking heavily), we headed to The Shore Club. The minute we walked into the hotel, we run into Mr. Greg Grunberg. I was buzzing pretty hard off my ridiculously huge drinks, but thought quick enough to mention Yowza instantly! Before I knew it, Grunny was all over my iPhone trying to change my preferences as well as trying to fix my busted Google Maps application. I don’t really think I processed who I was talking to – he was so down to earth and amazingly sweet that it was hard to imagine that this guy is a celebrity on a hit TV show. It is always such a treat to meet talented people that are still humble and truly care about their fans.

Kings of Leon @ BankUnited Center

Lovable Friday has been infiltrated today in order to bring you a full report from the Kings of Leon concert last night at the BankUnited Center in Miami. I hope you all don’t mind considering this is my second Friday in a row that I don’t present you with a list of lovable goodies. 😉

Like I said in yesterday’s post, I am no stranger to seeing Kings of Leon perform live but seeing a headlining tour was a whole different animal. The boys really brought it to the stage and were absolutely mind-blowing. The amount of energy and charisma that these 4 have is amazing. They played the best from their musical roster: Fans, Taper Jean Girl, Crawl, Be Somebody, etc. My personal favorite moment of the night had to be the really emotional performance of Milk, one of my favorite songs by the band, and a tune I didn’t expect them to play while on tour. Another great moment was seeing the crowd go absolutely buck wild for Sex on Fire – I guess I’m not the only fan that considers it their favorite! My only complaint was the absence of Ragoo from the set list – am I the only one that could listen to that song over and over again for weeks?
