Posted on August 11th, 2008 by Kate. Filed in I'm Pretty Sure I Need This

I’m not the best at baking (if I ever offer you a cookie, RUN!), but I am in lurve with the new KitchenAid color…my favorite…turquoise. Robin’s egg. Tiffany blue. Whatever you want to call it, I want it in my kitchen. Holla! (PS—You can only get it at Macy’s.)

Oooh, I LOVE this!

I’m a Kitchen Aid FREAK! I have the pink one. LOL, BUTTTT - If I saw this one first, I would have definitely gotten it. I’m a huge fan of blue/turqouise!

Love LOVE it!

Love that color too! It matches my studio colors.. but I have no use for it there! I have the RED one in my kitchen, and covet the SILVER one.

I don’t have a Kitchenaid… *sob* But I long to have Alton Brown’s flame-painted one!

I am sooooooooooo searching for some turquoise shoes for this crazy outfit I want to wear for a shoot. Any ideas where I could find some? And we MUST have these turquoise kitchen aid stuff, it matches our logo! :) LOOOVE LOOOOVE them.

OMG Kate! I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE this! I have a red one, but of course my tastes changed and I’m all about turquoise now, my absolute without a doubt favorite color. I’m such a loser maybe I should make that picture my wallpaper so I can just stare at it for hours. Ha.


I’m Pretty Sure I Need This :: Little i Gum

Posted on August 6th, 2008 by Kate. Filed in I'm Pretty Sure I Need This

How rad is this? Gum and mints inside a compact…somebody FINALLY found a way to kill bad breath and check for spinach in your teeth simultaneously. That’s kinda super-hero-like, if you ask me. Found it on the way to Vegas last week in the DFW airport and plan on stocking up fo’ sho’! Can you say “stocking stuffer”?

I’m Pretty Sure I Need This :: chandeliers

Posted on July 30th, 2008 by Kate. Filed in I'm Pretty Sure I Need This

I’m a girl. I’m a girl who loves shopping. I’m a girl who loves pretty things and frilly things and rock and roll things and definitely unique things. Me, shop at the Gap? I think not.

To celebrate what might be the bane of Bobby’s existence, I am starting a new category on this blog called, “I’m Pretty Sure I Need This”. When I find myself amidst stacks of work and I need a break, I procrastinate by doing what I like to call, “Research Before the Purch”. You know…purch, as in PURCHASE. So instead of keeping all of the findings to myself, I have decided to be a good role model for Millie by demonstrating how to share.

Here’s the first installment of the series! I decided to focus on items featuring chandeliers. Mmmmmmm. My favorite.


Oh So Rococo are these notecards from PaperNosh, found on Etsy. When I was 20, I studied abroad in France and fell in love with the decadence of Versailles and Marie Antoinette.
The over-the-top style may not be practical, but there’s nothin’ wrong with enjoying a little eye candy, now is there?

I’m toying with the idea of delivering “The Mother of All Albums” in these totes…I need yellow or turquoise, though!

Just bought Bobby this! It would be my dream come true if a groom would wear this tie on his wedding day. HOT!

And seeing as this little gem + shipping is only five smackeroos, I might as well get it. I’m pretty sure I need this.

Oh, Kate!!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE chandeliers, too!!! Rick and I are currently embroiled in a battle over the master bathroom….I want an oppulent, over the top, girly chandelier hanging in the center and he wants a practical ceiling fan!!!! NO FUN AT ALL!!!!
