Outside Lands - Night I

This was the Justice stage last night at Outside Lands... LOOK at the fog!!  It was soooo cold, but so amazing!  Just had to share!!

An update on my voice... totally gone...  oopsy!

Happy Weekend

Tumblr

What a week!  My cough persists after a full two weeks, but I am going to suck it up, pull it together, and head over to Outside Lands - an AMAZING three day music festival in San Francisco.  This year a few big headliners are Metallica, Foo Fighters, and Stevie Wonder... an eclectic mix, but I'm excited all the same.

Wish me and my froggy voice luck, and have a fabulous sunshine-y weekend!

Lions and Tigers and Bears... and Zebras??

Rugs USA is having a big 50% of blowout sale this weekend, and I'm seriously considering getting this zebra print rug for the bedroom.  It's an amazing deal, and I don't know if I have the strength to resist.  I know what Kris' reaction will be... Um... animal print?? Really Becky??  But I think I may do it anyway...

Am I going crazy, or is this rug awesome?? (Answer: It's awesome)

Ive seen several rooms where zebra is used as a neutral and I love it!  Look at it in this living room!

June and Bear

And here again!!  I think I'm not crazy... and I think I might just end up with a rug on it's way in the very near future...

Decorpad

I'm also loving this pale blue chevron printed rug....


This modern damask rug...

The awesome Flokati Rug I mentioned before

And the sky blue moroccan trellis rug...

Oh I have some serious decisions to make!  The discount code for 50% off your RUGSUSA order through Monday is Private50!  Happy shopping!

Paint Chips in Real Life

Remember these sad paint chips hanging on our bedroom wall??

Well, after a few days, I think we've narrowed it down to a few, so I decided to look them up online, and after a little Google Image searching I found some real life examples.  Here are the front-runners so far:

Behr Harvest Brown:

Lex and Learn

Not Just Brides


Behr Sandstone Cliff:

Live Love DIY


Martha Stewart Tobacco Leaf:

Favorite paint colors

The Inspired Room


Martha Stewart Ash Bark:

The Home Depot


Martha Stewart Heath:

My verdict??  With the exception of Tobacco Leaf which has more of a green tone, they all look the same!  Tobacco leaf is out, and tonight we will eenie meenie miney moe for the finalist.

Fingers crossed!!

Summer Trend: Neon Yellow

It's everywhere - day-glo is back from the 80's and has officially become a summer staple this year.  I know I've jumped on the bandwagon with a few fun pieces, but even as summer is coming to an end for most of America, we are just gearing up for summer in San Francisco - AKA the amazing phenomenon of Indian Summer that hits just as the rest of the country starts cooling down.  I'd say it officially starts towards the end of August, and carries through October.

To me that means the end of fog, and the opportunity to FINALLY break out my summer gear.  Here are a few of my favorite Neon pieces I've been eyeing online.....

Giuseppe Zanotti Espadriolle Wedge, Polyvore
This is a fun, and funky take on a classic fall wedge, but instead of a boring black heel, you get a fun pop of yellow.  Can't you just imagine dressing these up with some cropped, tailored black pants and a sheer blouse?

Sabo Neon Tulip Skirt, Sabo Skirt
I've had my eye on this skirt all summer, but couldn't figure out for the life of me where it was from!!  Questions are now answered - it's from online shop Sabo - and it's totally reasonable at $45.  I think I may just have to pull the trigger...

Betsey Johnson Neon Clutch, Karma Loop
This geometric clutch is as awesome as it is mod, and with a hard shell exterior, you won't have to worry about cracking your phone if it gets dropped (am I the only one that has trouble holding onto my clutch?!)

Weak in the Neon Sandal, Modcloth
Cute neutral sandals get a total upgrade with a stripe of neon next to the toes.  I also feel like these would be super comfortable for walking since they don't have the "thong" between the toes that sometimes rubs me the wrong way.

Shimmi Nicole Lace Up Bandeau Bikini, The Out Net
The front is standard bandeau, but the back is such a lovely surprise.  Watch those tan lines or you'll end up looking like a tiger, but this bikini is so awesome.  I WISH it weren't back-ordered in my size!!

Jayda Blazer, We Like Fashion
For a casual summer Friday in the office, this bright blazer would wake up a simple pair of jeans.  I love the cropped sleeves and the single button, although I'd probably opt to leave it open.  This would look awesome with a white t-shirt tucked in, and a fun woven tribal belt in bright colors.
