Oh Jonathan, You Had Me At Hello.


I don’t need to say much about Jonathan Adler, as his pieces speak for themselves. I absolutely love the bold colors and clean lines that he brings to the table. Oh, how I long for that Channing Desk…. Until that money tree starts to grow in my backyard, I always have this post. (Sigh.) Here are the pieces that made it onto Kiki’s List:

I’ll Take 45, Please….

The Salmons were in serious need of new flatware, and I mean serious. We were still using the same starter set that my sister gave me when I graduated college. (Thanks Sis!) While I worship this Tiffany Bamboo flatware set, I am not willing or able to fork over $3,700 for someone’s used flatware. So, I finally sprung for the next best thing (I can only swing the silver, although, I lust for the Gold.) A service set of 45, on sale here, here (gold) and here.
It arrived on Saturday… Isn’t it beautiful?

So Fun.

We are so fortunate to live in an area that has so many free special events. Every Friday in the Summer we are regulars at Herndon’s Friday Night Live, and we always have a blast. Last night was no exception. Each week we pack a picnic, a blanket and some beach chairs and dance the night away with friends. I thought I’d leave you with these little nuggets from last night.
1. Lou double fisted with a piece of pizza in one hand and an ice cream pop in the other.

2. My girls shakin’ it on stage to “Party in the USA” (Miley Cyrus version, of course.)

Girl Crush: Selena Gomez.


If your house is anything like mine, you are very familiar with Selena. Her new video Round & Round plays on the Disney Channel non-stop. Well, this little Disney Starlet just turned 18 last week- and boy, has she come into her own (and not in a totally inappropriate Miley Cyrus way either.) This girl’s got a classic, simple style about her, and it doesn’t hurt that she’s drop dead gorgeous either. I am sure the Jonas brothers are knocking down her door as we speak!

Take Another Looksie: JC Penney.


I have never been much of a fan of JC Penney. It reminds me of when I was little and my mom would try to convince me that I really could do my back to school shopping there. But the bargain hunter in me loves a challenge, and I think I met this one head on. Don’t get me wrong, I had to sift through my fair share of pleather shoes, CZ jewels and more polyester than anyone should ever encounter. That being said, check out the adorable finds that made it onto Kiki’s List at even more adorable prices:
