Finally tried Yardbird last week, and after hearing quite a few mixed reviews, I can say we had some really good food. Don't miss the Fried Green Tomatoes or pimiento cheese dip.  Skip the ribs.

Oh My God....Neon? Pink? Navajo? Polka dots? Poor man's Yves Klein blue? Amazecake!!!!
thanks Mister Mort.

Mary Katrantzou for Topshop. There goes rent. 

Hamster costume for Park City.  

Chukkas from Madewell. It seems like every time I find a pair of heels I like, I run into a pair of little boy shoes that I want more. Then both are more than I want to spend, so I end up with nothing but a couple of blog posts.

A Boucherite rug once on display at Calvin Morris. These types of Moroccan rugs are made by women from "torn or reused clothing" and lack the symmetry of typical Middle Eastern rugs.

I can't get enough of Dries Van Noten's Spring Summer 2011 collection. Seriously. Need these.

I've been up for a shoe post. Yes that's a pink parrot face on the front. Gianvito Rossi for Altuzarra at Barneys.

In 2007, Alessi released The Fruit Backet Family,  a range of products designed by Japanese architects Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa of SANAA, and I think I'm in love. So now we need this + a place to live, you know the basics.

It was grubbery all weekend long...
Wahoo sashimi caught and prepared by my cousin, Vietnamese pomelo salad, salmon with bacon brussels sprouts, Flanigans for brunch? We also tried 2B Asian, which to be honest, I had been neglecting bc I thought the name was silly. We went because I just moved by Hy Vong, but it was closed AGAIN. I can't win with that place, they are on vacation until the 11th. You go girls, business must be swell. Sidenote, if you want to feel something cool, buy a pomelo, cut it open and squish the rind.

Stella McCartney is setting up shop in Bal Harbour. She's always been one of my favorite clothing designers (just look at this season's resort collection), but her vegan accessories don't quite do it for me. I like Flanigans and I like fur... see fuzzy post below.

Leandra Medine @ The Webster next Friday, the 13th. UPDATE**** If you don't want to shell out $100 bones to meet the Man Repeller, go to the Webster from 11am-2pm Sunday. 

Love.

All this moving and organizing and throwing out stuff also makes me scour the internet for hours looking at homes and interiors and desk chairs and hanging pendant lamps. No bueno. Anyway, I love me a white house with a flat top and grey stones and palm trees. Wouldn't mind the car either.

We'll be heading to San Fran for a quick trip next weekend. Looking for things to do if time permits. Suggestions welcome...

This post was headed in the direction of "If i was asked what my last meal would be on Death Row..." but I decided I don't want to jinx myself....so anyway, thank you Olga, for leaving a Joe's Stone Crab gift card in my mailbox. It will be put to use this weekend after my move.

This is fun. Just discovered another local Etsy shop, RIDICULOUSWEAR. I still have mixed feelings about Etsy. I'm all about doing the legwork (fingerwork?) to find the goods, but there's way too much junk on there. That said, I love my new chairs.

You can buy them on that site that shows up in Google's Shopping section when you're looking for some designer thing, and nothing remotely close comes up except some random stuff that probably fits weird....you know what I'm talking about... YOOX.
