mirror, mirror

maybe it was the pug shout outs from zgallerie yesterday that has drawn me in, but i am officially obsessed...with the...borghese collection from zgallerie. i was there today and came across these amazing pieces. yes, it is all mirrored furniture. i posted some pier 1 mirrored furniture a few weeks ago that i am thinking of buying. although the borghese is not in our price range, i can still dream, right? if you ever win the lottery, buying me any/all of these pieces would be most appreciated!

 

borghese buffet. i love the antique touch this has.

  

end table.

this made my day! it is hilarious.

 

"burn after reading" = weird. we saw it the night it came out. i was very, very excited about this movie. we loved brad pitt and he should showcase his comedic timing more often. it was definitely a coen brothers movie, but i expected a little more. i think the thing about this movie was i didn't know whether to laugh, be insulted, close my eyes or walk out. i will say that i was entertained. oddly entertained. check it out for the sake of pitt and frances mcdormand.

viva to the vegas! as i posted a couple weeks ago, my friend lydia got engaged. i received a las vegas postcard in the mail the other day from lydia asking me to be one of her bridesmaids. i was so honored! of course, i accepted and can't wait for the big day! t and i have never been to las vegas, so we can't wait. funny sidenote: i called my mom to tell her about the postcard (very creative, i must say, lyd!) and she was very impressed - she said, "I can't believe Lydia went to Vegas to send out those postcards!" i failed to mention she had probably just ordered the postcards...ha!

i read this for the book club i am in. it was such an inspiring story. it brings out the humanity our world is capable of and that is something we just don't hear enough about. please read it. it is a true story. if you happen to reside or grew up near fort worth, tx, you will recognize a lot of the places in this book.

pier1. mirrored dresser. i love how timeless and neutral this is. i hope to have it in our bedroom shortly. we are struggling with a lack of closet space crisis and in

 dire need of a new dresser!

 

pier 1. matching nightstand. i'm starting to realize i'm not really into matchy/matchy furniture, so i probably won't buy this. but it's cute, regardless.

  

 on a completely different note, angels & airwaves is such a great band. if you haven't heard some of their music, i encourage you to check them out. the band was formed by tom delonge (of blink-182 fame) a few years ago. they sound nothing like blink-182. except you can tell it's tom. they are so good. one of my favourites is "breathe" which was played on the hills the other night. do yourself a favor and download some of their music.
