*{My Favorite Things}*

Okay...time for me to rob a bit of Oprah's spotlight (okay...maybe her shadow) and post my favorite things that are definitely on my Christmas list this year!!

Drum roll please...


I first spotted this divine "Antoinette Fainting Sofa" (I seriously love the name of this thing) while stalking one of my favorite photogs blog. We have been looking for some kind of bench to put at the end of our bed, and then I saw this blog post on Amanda's blog and simply FELL.IN.LOVE! And I think it was meant to be because today I started searching around Urban Outfitter's site for furniture and it was like the angels playing trumpets in Heaven when I saw the "fainting sofa"! I am so torn though...I love this carbon color, but I also love the Caribbean blue that you see in Amanda's post...decisions, decisions. However, I think the carbon color could go with so much more down the road when I want to switch out colors in the master bedroom. So here is the fainting couch that makes my heart skip a beat. You will have to check out Amanda's blog to see what this sofa looks like at the end of a bed...FABULOUS!




~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And item number two is also from Urban Outfitters. Seriously, how cute are these curtains?! I would love to get a couple of these and put them in the girls bedroom...don't they just scream girl?!



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Okay...not much more needs to be said about the following except: I.WANT.THESE.BOOTS...still!


The problem is I am a frugal shopper...I have searched high and low for a Black Friday sale on these suckers, and it just flat out doesn't exist...but Amazon does have the best price on it so far...maybe Oprah is reading this and would love to buy me a size 9.5?!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The next item I had on my list a good 2 or MAYBE 3 years ago...and I still haven't just bit the bullet and bought one. But I absolutely love the Anthropologie aprons! Seriously, I love them all...and I know I wouldn't wear it EVERY day, but still, it would be fun to look rockin' in the kitchen while sporting my Betty Crocker skills every once in awhile. I don't even think I should "claim" Betty Crocker skills...but my baking is definitely better than my cooking.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Okay...my next item is simple...I want a trip to Shareen's Vintage in Los Angeles. Now you have to go to the following link to see this place in it's due justice. Fabulous photographer Brandon Kidd did an editorial shoot for Shareen's and his images just make you want to jump in the car right now, hit up a Starbucks to get caffeinated, and put the pedal to the metal to get to L.A. and go through all the yumminess that is in store there. A matter of fact, I think I may have something up my sleeve for a personal project...and the clothes have to come from here! Sorry, no image...you just have to check out Brandon's post! Be prepared to drool!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
QUE MUSIC: {{OH OH OH OH OH...HANGIN' TOUGH}}
And last but definitely NOT least...ahhhhhhh (breathe in, breathe out)...tickets go on sale tomorrow for Joey McIntyre's tour. It is no secret to you all...I am a Blockhead...and I will simply be one for the rest of my life. And Joey Joe...my favorite one of all...is going on tour! Now how can a girl say no to that! Now, I'm not going to lie...I would love to see all of them together again (this last tour was F.A.B.U.L.O.U.S). And my fingers are crossed that they will once again go on another tour as a group. But until then, tickets to see Joey Joe would put my heart at ease!

So on that note...those are a few of my favorite things. Hope you all had a successful Black Friday! What's on your list of favorite things this year?!

Until Next Time,
