10 Rapid Fire Questions, Go with you Gut. Here's my answers, I can't wait to read yours :-)

1. Favorite Restaurant:

Antica Trattoria in La Mesa, California. Most amazing Italian food I've ever had. Not a huge pasta person, but this place is the exception. In addition, my husband proposed to me there, so there's also sentimental ties as well.

2. Favorite Room to Decorate:

If I had any money it would probably be my bedroom. I want that special retreat after a long day of working.

3. If one song could be the soundtrack to your life what would it be?

Glitter in the Air by Pink. I can relate to this song on many different levels.

4. Marilyn, Audrey, or Jackie

Audrey for sure. I don't exactly ooze sex appeal like Marilyn, and on the flip side, I'm a little more laid back than Jackie.

5. If money were no object, what would you buy?

A big beautiful house on a huge plot of land, that would be empty half the time, because I would be traveling the world wearing fabulous clothes.

6. Favorite movie/movies?

Good Will Hunting and Pride and Prejudice

7. Best Coffee Table Book?

Probably Compact Classics. I know it's not the most noble way to read all the classics, but I loved it as a kid, and I still do to this day.

8. Favorite way to spend a Sunday?

Never getting out of my pajamas, especially if it's chilly outside, cozy under the blankets having a movie marathon.

9. The one store you could spend hours browsing?

That's a tuffy...I would say Barnes and Noble or Pottery Barn.

10. Where do you look for an obscure source of inspiration.

Not very obscure, but it's where I go for inspiration MyFitnessPal and Pinterest.
