A New Show to Watch, Dresses on Sale, Rooms That Make You Weep: 5 Quick Things
Project 365, Day 162/365
YOU GUYS! What wonderful ideas you proposed to me on Wednesday’s post. There are so many fun prompts in there, I can’t wait to organize them all for myself. Half the time, I wonder what I’m the one doing with the blog, when I’d so happily read all of YOUR blogs any day.
As I tend to do, let’s take a minute to take stock of the week we just mostly made it through! 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 All week, I was looking forward to getting to the other side of a photoshoot I’ve been planning for work all month. Anytime I tell people I help produce photoshoots for furniture, they always ooh and ahh. Think it’s so glamorous. Next time, I should show them the 127 emails between myself and the Los Angeles permitting office, our company insurance broker, our art supplier after a UPS snaffu, the red lines on the venue contract…it’s…a lot. But it’s always worth it. ANYWAY, what was waiting on the other side of today is TOMORROW. Charles and I will be at our very first LA Dodger game. We’ve lived here three years, and have yet to step foot into Dodger Stadium. Neither of us are really baseball fans, but I’m in it for the experience, the energy. We wanted to sneak in before June 15 when things go back to full capacity around here. I’m vaccinated and trust science, but you know…I’m still cautious…and don’t trust other people. Anyone doing something of note?!?
Okay, let’s get into some quick things.
Quick Thing #1
I’m outing myself and Charles here, but has anyone seen Camp Cretaceous on Netflix? It’s 100% an animated kids show, but friends…it’s pretty darn good. It’s in the Jurassic Park “universe” so to speak, and tells an adjacent story to the one happening in Jurassic World. Season 3 was recently released, and we devoured it. It’s good, clean fun with some heart-pumping adventure. I recommend it.
Quick Thing #2
Earlier this week, I got a notification on my phone that Target was having a sale on some of their dresses. It was a Target Circle deal, and it’s not on everything, but a healthy number of things are at least 20% off right now. I’m eyeing a number of dresses, including this one in pink. I’m pretty sure I’ll look like a sack of potatoes, but also…I don’t really care if I do. I love a long, swingy, tent-y dress.
Quick Thing #3
Speaking of things I want to buy, I’m thoroughly obsessed with getting a new pair of Nikes and am on the hunt for a pair or two. I am very into these (love the mix of colors) and these. I never used to be a sneakerhead (they are SO expensive!), but more and more, I’m into them. Not to wear to actually exercise, but to wear for everyday footwear.
Quick Thing #4
My friends at Style by Emily Henderson shared a photo of a bedroom this week that made me ache with wanting. It’s not for everyone, but it’s 100% for me. (Oh to be able to do wallpaper without fear of it tearing down my 100-year-old rental dry wall…yes, even if it’s removable.)
Quick Thing #5
This thread I bookmarked was so moving, I teared up reading it. But in a good way. Be sure to click through all the slides. It’s so beautiful.
See you tomorrow, FOAS.
