just for fun :: gold polka dots

A few weeks ago I saw this idea over on Oh Joy!. I am filing it away for future use in my daughter's room. Such a fun and easy way to spice up a room, especially if you rent and aren't able to paint!

I also love this corner in her studio where she hung some fun things from confetti systems and then some original art hung with vintage hangers...darling!

hot spot :: cafe habana

When we lived in NYC, our favorite Saturday lunch spot was Cafe Habana. We always got the Cubano Sandwich, the street corn, and two Mexican Cokes. Even our little Bennett, who was only 1 at the time, LOVED the corn. So you can imagine our excitement when we found out that they opened a location in Malibu. We have been wanting to go for about a year now, but never found the time. A few weeks ago, we finally MADE time and drove up to Malibu for the day. The weather was perfect, our friends joined us which made it even more fun, and the food was just as delicious as we remembered. The only bummer, they didn't have our trusty Mexican Coke, but I guess unlimited refills of Coke were just as good...almost.

fun find :: bling bling flats

I love Steve Madden flats. They always fit my foot great, have fun styles, and are usually very reasonably priced. I especially love Steve Madden flats that are on sale. I stumbled upon these new flats for spring and love the little blinged out heel...even more I love that they are 30% off. I just can't decide if I like the nude color or the cognac color more. Decisions decisions.

fun find :: jbsdd {jb's daily dose}

A friend of mine (who also happens to be kind of related to me) had a genius idea a while back. He started a blog where every day he posted a new song to download. For a long time this blog was private, but he recently went public with it, JB's Daily Dose. Back in the day, I used to contribute occasionally to the blog but I have gotten very lazy and haven't been sending him my recommendations. So, if you are in the market for some new tunes, check it out. You won't be disappointed. There is a good variety and a lot of stuff that I am sure a lot of us have never heard of but wish we had. The best part about it, is you can listen to the playlist while you are surfing the web, working, or while cleaning the house!
