WANTED. MORE CHEVRON
If you read Sweet Thing, I think it is clear by now that I love all things chevron. Examples here and here. I recently saw these two chevron items on shopbop and immediately added them to my wish list. Although, I might have to wait for them to go on sale. Sigh...
Loving the deco-ish clasp, and the attached chain strap!
This combines two of my favorite things, chevron and feathers. And it's the perfect length!
DIY CHEVRON RUG
Loving this DIY rug project from High-Heeled Foot In The Door. It looks so easy, inexpensive and fun! Who needs a Madeline Weinrib, when you can make your own?...
Go HERE for full instructions. You will need 2 yrds of fabric, 6x9 drop-cloth, 5x8 rug gripper and Aleene's Tacky Spray Glue.
MALO MONDAYS ARE NOT MALO
Every Monday night my friends and I get together for $1 Taco night at Malo Cantina in Silverlake. It's a nice tradition. Whoever can make it that Monday comes and we talk about our week and gorge ourselves on chips, burnt habanero and cream salsa, margaritas and tacos. It makes Mondays a little less unbearable. You would think I wouldn't want to let the secret out, but trust me it is already out! It can be crazy busy on Mondays, so I recommend getting there no later then 7:30...
And YES, the entire building is CHEVRON!!! Recognize that wall next to Malo that has sadly been tagged with graffiti? It was from the cover of Elliott Smith's album Figure 8. RIP Elliott!
Malo has just started a new special night, Margarita Tuesdays. $4 Margaritas starting at 7pm! What are they trying to do to me?! PS. Their margaritas are made with fresh lime juice, not that bottled stuff. Happy Tuesday!!!
CHEVRON LOVE
My latest obsession is the the chevron pattern. I can not seem to get enough. It's popping up everywhere, so I know I am not alone...
Check out my most recent purchase, this Red Carter Maillot from Shopbop.com. Can I just say I am thrilled that designers are making sexy and fashionable one pieces. If only it were warm enough to wear it...
I had been eying this Zig Zag Rug from West Elm for months. I finally bought the 2'x3' for my kitchen and I love it!
These Chevron Calling Cards from Etsy are adorable. Only $24 for 48 cards. At that price everyone should have their own calling card.
I love everything about this Chevron Wall, the simplicity and of course the deer head right in the center. This was a diy project featured on Design Sponge back in January from interior designer Stephanie Sabe. It was created using contact paper believe it or not. So if you're feeling creative, you too can have this fabulous wall. Now where can I find that fantastic deer head? Sigh.
