One of my all time favorite shows is How I Met Your Mother – and I love me some Neil Patrick Harris. As always, he is was so great on the Tony Awards last night. Check out the opening number below:

Monogram Monday
Found these monogrammed lamp shades this weekend and I am in love.
$89 each, several pretty colors available
Can’t stop dreaming about having one on each side of my bed! (when I finally have two nightstands instead of my bed shoved up against the wall in my teeny room 🙂
I was a very good Chicagoan this weekend and hit up both the Old Town Art Fair on Saturday + Rib Fest on Sunday.
my fried twinkie at rib fest!
Hope you all had a great weekend 🙂

Happy Friday :)
The weekend has finally arrived! Although the weather here dropped 40 degrees in 24 hours, I am praying for sunshine for the Old Town Art Fair this weekend in Chicago. Every summer I somehow never make it, and I am determined to go and check it out!
*My friend also swears it is the best place to meet guys, because several of her friends have met their boyfriends there, so single ladies get on out there.
I just really need to get something off of my chest… We all know he is a jerk and says hurtful things and blah blah blah… but why is no one saying the obvious:
HE IS NOT ATTRACTIVE.
He looks like a Neanderthal. Seriously. Look at him.
And from watching the show, it takes him a looooong time to look “that good”. Woof.
And yes, he’s an ass – so good riddance.
Some random housewives gossip: Remember Dina Manzo from the Jersey Housewives? The pretty, sane one who left because she realized she was surrounded by pure crazy??
She has her own show on HGTV show starting in the fall!! They are already showing her in their fall programming commercial, but all they have said about her show is that it will be based around her event planning company. I will definitely be tuning in.
Switching to NYC Housewives, did anyone see crazy Alex last night in Morocco? I have a hard time looking at her when she is “upset” because she looks like an escaped mental patient.
*if it’s possible: she looked scarier than this.
For once, Kelly Bensimon called it straight by telling her she needed to quit acting like she was on center stage giving a performance. These Morocco episodes are getting super obnoxious and the constant fighting is a pain, but click below to check out crazy pants in action.
And finally, how cute are they?
She is just so damn pretty.
Have a great weekend everyone 🙂

i know her boobs are extremely distracting, but the print on this suit is perfection
what are your go-to brands that you love?

Wishlist Wednesday
I’ve been good and haven’t been online dream shopping lately, so I am doing a little bit of a different Wishlist Wednesday today. Sort of a “Wish I was as cute and wish I had this versatile of style” Wednesday 🙂
Is there anyone cuter than Rachel Bilson? Even as bratty Summer on The OC, I loved her. She can pull of any style: casual, feminine, edgy, vintage, mens-inspired… she does it all! I also love her advice & picks in her monthly style column in InStyle.
sigh. she is just so damn cute and can pull of anything.
ps – she has a new show on CW premiering this fall 🙂

My “Big Girl” Bedroom
I’m apartment hunting for my move at the end of summer to my first big-girl solo apartment. I’m so excited 🙂 I can’t wait to decorate (on a tiny budget) and have noticed that most of the bedrooms that I love have white bedding + gorgeous accents in bright colors.
if my bedroom looks anything like these I will be a very happy girl!
