The A List: 6.2.16
Alison Pegg
It's officially Gemini season and my birthday month and I can't wait to see what the sixth month has in store more me in 2016.
In the meantime, here's a look at some of my faves from this past week in this edition of The A List.
Since I’ve moved into my new digs at my new job, I've been brainstorming ways I can decorate a boring old office cube into something a little more stylish to spend my day. Upon searching for planters and accessories at one of my modern favorites, West Elm, I came across Homey Oh My! from their Front + Main blog. Amy’s decor is amazing, and the perfect modern, Scandinavian and black and white palette that I’m looking for. Her blog is full of pictures of her stylish home and super easy DIYs, some of which I'm going to have to try. Homey Oh My! has instantly shot up near the top of my daily reads list. Check her blog out here.
Birthday month!
It’s my birthday month! Bring on the cake, cocktails and glasses of bubbly I love a good celebration during my birthday month. The more the merrier - celebrations and friends to share them with. Cheers! (image via)
Summer temps and humidity definitely arrived this week and my “prevent summer temps after effects” bag in my work tote came with it. One of my easiest ways to beat the summer yuckies? Freshening up with a great summer scent. And nothing is more perfect than this super portable Carven rollerball. It’s easy and convenient and a perfect scent for layering with my other perfumes no matter if they’re floral, powdery or even super modern. Leave it to the french to find that perfect summer scent, it adds that je ne sais quoi that french women just naturally exude. And what’s more summery than that?
HOUSE. GOALS. Seriously, when I first laid eyes on Alexis Bledel’s Brooklyn loft I thought “this is my dream home.” (Anyone have an extra $3mil laying around I can borrow?) It’s open and airy, modern and Scandinavian, neutral and textural and most importantly, has an urban outdoor space. I’ve always wanted a space in an urban area like this - it really is house porn for me - and it’s just another reason to absolutely adore Rory Gilmore IRL.
One of my favorite parts of the NBA Finals, if not my favorite, is Jimmy Kimmel’s Game Night half hour specials before the games begin. At only a half hour, it’s 30 minutes full of sports and comedy, with superstars and shenanigans galore. Last night’s episode kicked off this finals series with Mariah Carey but the mean tweets segment really stole the show. It’s laugh out loud funny and part of me hopes the finals goes to seven games so we get seven of Jimmy’s sports specials.
