How would you like to wake up and have your coffee on this terrace every morning?

Well, Jennifer Aniston and her beau of choice (Gerard Butler, Bradley Cooper, etc) will be doing just that!

Word on the street is that Aniston purchased not one, but two condos in NYC’s West Village and is planning on combining them into one duplex (and obtaining a whopping 2,700 square feet of space).

Jenn- we beg of you, please hire the MG’s to help with the decorating of your new place. I know Perez calls you Maniston, but the interior design of this place is way too masculine for you. I don’t know you personally, but this look just does not seem to suit the stylish girl who made “The Rachel” cut a household name. But who are we kidding? We know you will call Courtney and Coco to come over and you all will get to decorating- see you on an upcoming Architectural Digest cover.

I never thought the day would come when Home Goods would open up a location near me!  It’s always a long journey out to their Irving, Allen, or Richardson locations from where I live, so I had always wondered why they didn’t have a location in the heart of Dallas.

What an exciting email that I got today that announced “Home Goods to Open First Dallas Store on Sunday, April 10th”.  Yep, you heard it right here folks…colorful gourd lamps and inexpensive “rock crystal” bookends, will now be at the fingertips of local Dallasites.

The new store is going to be located at The Shops at Park Lane at Park Lane and Central Expressway in less than a month- get excited!

If you are looking for a huge fan (and I mean HUGE) for a residential, commercial or industrial space, look no further- Big Ass Fans has you covered!

I’d heard of BAF before, but had never seen one in person until I went to Rusty Taco in Dallas.  They are extremely hard to miss (especially if you dine there once a week- like me) but also difficult to overlook because of their enormous size.  I looked up and thought to myself- that’s one big ass fan! (and you know what, I was right)

The people I was with were commenting on how cool the fan was (literally- you could sit out there for hours with your tacos!)

I always sit outside at Rusty’s so the BAF is a great way to escape the Texas heat!!  Such a great invention.

And PS- if you haven’t been to Rusty Taco yet (and live in Dallas), you must stop by for a visit! Not only do they have a Big Ass Fan for your enjoyment, but their tacos are amazing as well.
