red room.

i'm going to follow suit and post some red things today much like everyone else in blogland. it hurts a little inside to do this since red is one of my least favorite colors. yep, it's the truth. in my opinion it's an angry color...however, these images are making me feel otherwise. jolene.

collections.

i saw this picture last week and it reminded me of the concept for my office credenza. i kept this picture because it also reminded me that i need to be on the look out for smaller milk glass pieces for my collection. maybe the next flea market? jolene.

these images have been laying around on my desktop for weeks now. they don't have anything to do with each other other than they are just a collection of images i like a lot and find inspiration in. i have a good friend coming into town tomorrow. maybe i'll take her to the above restaurant on melrose ave in los angeles. it's called comme ca and it's so cute! happy friday! amanda

Bar Marmont

yestereday jolene sent me taylor's (assistant to rachel zoe on the rz project) insider guide to la. low and behold she had one of our fav places to go to on her list, bar marmont. it is just adjacent the infamous chateau marmont nestled quietly in on sunset blvd. it's eclectic interiors are country-esque meets french speakeasy are fun to hang in and if you're lucky and stay long enough there's a chance you'll encounter a celeb or two. we got lucky and got to hang for a bit with jason segel. funny story...jason told me while chatting that he was gearing up to write the next muppet movie. well, i growing up and loving the muppets thought great! fantastic...i told him to do a great job and bring back that 7o's feeling that the first muppet movie had. he said yep that's what we're doing. i said cool! my friends pictured above in the photo thought that he punked me by telling me this story that night and had a good laugh at my expense. hehe! it later came out that he was telling me the truth...so they are the ones who are punked! lol! one more tip, we usually order the tomato soup with a grilled cheese sandwich (mom you know this is my favorite meal) and a glass of white wine. you cannot loose with this meal!! enjoy amanda
