Lady A

Being born and raised in Nashville kind of embeds you with the sounds of fiddles and pedal steel guitar. And I appreciate that. I also really appreciate Lady Antebellum. Country music needs more trios like this.

Hasn't every girl made a friendship bracelet in her day? L.A. Native has added some charm and sparkle to the mix.

Oh Milla

How great does Milla Jovovich look in these shots? Whoever styled her is brilliant, I want every single look.

I've got to get to the beach this summer. And I'm bringing some 45's and a pair of high-waisted shorts.

I'm with Coco

I love Conan.

His last few shows have been unbelievably funny. Like bust out loud by yourself kind of funny. Tomorrow night will be a sad one.

It's the small things in life, really, it is.

Perusing through blogs tonight, I happened upon an old favorite, Elements of Style. Noticing some photos I had saved in the past, I jumped to the designer's website without reading much (I have what I like to call, "reader's ADHD".) As soon as the website loaded I heard a familiar tune from my friend Jack. Yes, Seven Nation Army orchestra style.


So then I headed back to Elements of Style to soak in the post in it's entirety. At this point I knew this had to be special because having the White Stripes as your background music means we're instantly soul mates, not to mention that I completely get your design aesthetic.


Ryan had been featured on the Selby so I jumped over there to check out his place. Shocked, I had swooned over his pad a gazillion times. Once again, my reader's ADHD deferred me from investigating who this guy was. I think I had assumed "up and coming fashion designer" at one point. But seriously, from the red Persian rugs (I currently have 3), the brushed gold coffee table (my side tables are nearly identical to his), to the blue and white china (Spode's "Blue Italian" has been on my imaginary wedding registry since high school)... this guy is so up my decorating alley.


Then lets talk lighting. He has an affinity for gold fixtures, as do I. I feel like so many people are anti-gold and all nickel and pewter. The fixture in the kitchen is adorable and the faux bamboo bedside lamp... you're killing me Ryan.


So Ryan, why don't you come down to Nashville and hang out? I'll take you to Third Man Records, to my favorite antique shop and then back to my place to sit on my Turkish beauty while we watch It Might Get Loud. Then we can decorate!

Sound good?

Bubble bath bliss

My new favorite hobby is the age-old bubble bath. As strange as it sounds, I had forgotten the innocent beauty of soaking the solitude of a candlelit bathroom.


After the discover of this amazing bubble bath and the fact that I can run an extension cord down the hall to have some music, it's down right heaven. I could stare at the flicker of candles and soak in lavender bliss for hours.

Or until the water gets cold.

A dedicated biscuit blog post

One of my dearest friends had a skiing accident yesterday in Vail. I know when he gets better he's going to totally make fun of me for doing a "biscuit blog" post on him but I don't care.

Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers.

We have too many White Stripes shows to attend and too many more countries to explore for him to be injured in a silly skiing accident.
