house house house

but seriously, my house has been on my mind! someone: buy me all of these things. thx!

on my radar..

about once a month i go through the need to completely overhaul my house. luckily for my sanity, i have absolutely no funds to follow through. with that being said, there are a few websites and items that have been on my mind as of late.

Circa Who

i found this store through one of the blogs i follow--I'm sorry, i cant recall--it is located in West Palm, and is amaze balls. I mean, every item is exactly what I've been looking for. their prices aren't awful either.

i really love this as a entertainment system with the TV mounted above. ugh, i want,want,want! Its only $375+$275 for wrapped shipping. seriously debating if certain things fall into place... ;)

this piece is out of my price range, but since when does that stop me? I love this dining table, and I imagine it with these chairs from Overstock.Com (<--which incidentally, i forget about all the time..what a fantastic site!)

Bedbuggs

this Etsy site is so darling; I've had my eyes open for throw pillows for sometime, and i just love these...so different & fun! the middle picture of wall art, and i think it is a relatively new product, but what a neat idea!

id be lucky if these were the only things on my brain lately, but i just wanted to touch base with my little blog that could.

ps. have y'all read 50 Shades of Grey? I know its not award winning writing, but as someone who has never read books with this sort of story....i was hooked! i found myself deeply enthralled in their, albeit, strange love story. it took me a few days to step back and realize that type of love and i are never ever going to match. i don't know if that's a good or a bad things. hmph. 

pps. happy fathers day to my sweet,sweet papa. i am so thankful to have been raised by a stay at home dad who taught me so much! he taught me to never take shit from anyone (his words, not mine. occurred when i was 5 at the McDonald's playground after a boy threw a ball at me while we were in the bouncing ball bin), to always know when to walk away from something that isn't working, to try and be friends with everyone, to never go to bed upset with mom, to be fiercely and unforgivably loyal, and most importantly, he brought me into this world and he'd take me out.

summer pastels

summer pastels by myfirstnameisrachel featuring a fringed shawl


just a quick mid-afternoon update. I saw this scarf on Pink Peonies (if you're not reading her blog, start now.) and fell in love, so great for summer! i'm normally not a huge pastel person, but this gives new meaning to the word!

ps. stay tuned for, what may become, a weekly feature--my "need" list on friday.

mish-mash

yello + navy by myfirstnameisrachel featuring a striped tote

Happy Thursday, y'all! I am loving navy & yellow right now! I don't have tons of yellow in my closet, and according to my polyvore..that is changing asap. confession: i think it may have to do with the CNBC's special on Mickey Drexler, and how he always looks for yellow to pop in the J.Crew stores. Speaking of, did y'all see the special? life changer. "cut back. sell out. buy more great products!" AMEN!

did anyone catch the premier of RHONY? i admit, i slept through it, but I'm so, so curious as to how it went??

there are some seeerrious things goin' down in the life of rachelamy. wowza. as they say, "times they are a changin'"

you know what doesn't change? (and god willing, never will) good times with good friends, family, and drinks!

Rebecca and I watching Game 3 of the Heat vs. Celtics! Heat lost, but the night made up for it in fun memories and pretty pictures! (what...a true sports fan..)

this is Talulah being clingy because she knew i was about to leave. you can't see it, but I'm wearing a dress from The Webster collection at Target. runs really big, but super cute & comfy. This was before Midtown's Bar Crawl to support The Tallahassee Ballet. What an awesome event! The swag bags were out of control, not to mention the weather was incredible. One of my favorite events I've been to recently.

I'm a picky drinker. the bartender was finally able to make a surprise drink that I didn't cringe at (this coming from the Mic Ultra, $7 bottle of wine drinker)! I loved our summer inspired drinks--so festive. Lauren over at La Petite Fashionista would be proud!

there is a local Cuban restaurant that is incredible. one of the main reasons is this drink: The Gordo's Smash. Us grown folk have to split it in half to ensure we can walk in a straight line and/or drive home, but let me tell you...it tastes just as good as it looks.

today was kind of just a mash up of recent happenings, which i think will be my regular until i get some semblance of normal in my life. (ha! please!)
