Sugar Paper in L.A. is one of my top 10 favorite stores anywhere, and my notebook stash (it’s a LARGE collection) is quivering at the shop’s latest creation: gold polka-dot  and striped notebooks in pink, black, and white.  $16. I give up. Order online, or make a pilgrimage to the shop in the Brentwood Country Mart, which is a must-stop in L.A. on its own. (And you can celebrity-spy, if you’re into it.)

I also require the following things:

XO seal notecards, $18

XO tags, $20

And this gold ampersand print, $40

P.S. There are also matching striped coasters, $26. Damn.

I watched all 30 hours of the hit HBO Series Game of Thrones in about 6 days. During water and Diet Coke breaks, I’d scour the internet for furniture seen in King’s Landing, specifically Ned Stark’s chair. And maybe I’d look up things about Jon Snow, played by Kit Harington, who romps around in a black furry cape trying to keep warm. I’d like to help him with that, while wearing one of these:

(That’s a Kelly Wearstler choker, by the way, so I can’t be the only stylish soul totally obsessed with this show.) I want the dresses, the hand of the King pin, the rugs, the wine cups, and choker necklaces. I want a trip to Dubrovnik, Croatia, where the show’s King’s Landing scenes are filmed. Join me in my lustful craze:

This pin just might be cool enough to wear in real life. (With very modern clothing to avoid the costume references.) I love its sculptural qualities.  Etsy, $27:

A less literal iteration – Kelly Wearstler’s brass hand form, $225:

Horn ice buckets = killer. $162.

I now require a Moroccan table for my home. This is my favorite, available through me at DeCesare Design Group.

I love the Savonarola Chairs seen throughout the show. Find this one here.

This antique set is going for $1800 on Etsy — which is a great price on something that is very hard to find. I see them in a killer master bath.

Note the chairs on set below:

This is Jon Snow in his Mongolian lamb cape:

This is a Mongolian lamb pillow that I want to snuggle up to and pretend it is Jon Snow in his cape, $195 at Horchow. (Sorry, Tyson.)

I fell hard for this King’s Landing-esque bone inlay mirror at the New York Gift Show. It wants to live in my guest bathroom. (Sold to the trade, but I can order it for you.)

And all of Kelly Wearstler’s pre-fall jewelry collection is very Daenerys Targaryen:

Are you feeling this Game of Thrones style moment, too?

I wasn’t finished. My inner Cape Cod /Coronado/Anywhere But Here issues have turned up more to show you. We really need some beach parties, my friends. Or Sundays in Coronado and concerts in the park. My tableware wishlist:

I’ll be having these Durban plates from Serena & Lily, four for $148. They look handmade and will transfer seasons well when my nautical obsessions end and the pumpkin problems start.

I found this fab cast iron whale bottle opener at Solo Cedros in Solana Beach (best accessory shop in San Diego), squawked, then brought him home. You can find him online here. $22.

I don’t care if these flag napkins are trite. I need them for fourth of July celebrations on Coronado. $29.

I’m having a total whale moment. He’s a cocktail shaker from Pottery Barn and I had to have him. $59.

You can’t channel Cape Cod without monograms. These gorgeous things are four for $58 from Mark and Graham, a new Williams-Sonoma offshoot with monograms for days and days.

Porcelain ice cream cones. OK, yes. Here.

Octopus Cake Stand, $248 from Bhldn. Which I still hate typing. Can we not just spell it out? Beholden. Much easier.

These are acrylic, gorgeous, gray and made for outdoors.  A mere $3 each at World Market.

Save me from all bottle openers and whales. $24 at Bhldn.

I saw this pillow in January at dinner with Annie Selke and the people who made it. And I freaked out. They probably thought I was weird. It’s indoor-outdoor, embroidered, and awesome. Also available in red and navy. $75. I can order it for you.

Years from now, it’s possible that the blow dry bar will be hailed as one of the greatest luxury developments of our time. Remember when they invented sliced bread? Yes, you could do it yourself, but it makes such a mess. Blow-drying your own hair? Same ending (with a lot of extra sweat and frizz.) In this case, $35 brings a LOT of joy.

I live in prime blowout real estate. There’s a drybar in one direction, and the Blow Dry Bar by Kimberly in another. Today, Kimberly Robson is opening a second location near the Scottsdale Quarter.

When I leave, my hair looks like this:

and this:

Big smiles, all around. Find these hair goddesses here.  (At the Lincoln location, ask for Stephen. He’s my man.) Above photo by Allison Tyler Jones Photography.

Second set of important news: there’s also a new Pizzeria Bianco open at Town and Country on 20th Street and Camelback in Phoenix. In the space that Bianco used to call Italian Restaurant, there’s now Pizzeria Bianco in front, and Trattoria Bianco in back.

The most important part: Ty and I went last night, and THERE WAS NO WAIT. We sat down at the bar, ordered icy Cokes in glass bottles, and had the Wiseguy and the Sonny Boy pizzas in front of us within 20 minutes.

This is my favorite thing to eat in Phoenix:

It’s also pretty inside. Bianco is all about the vintage find. I wish he’d take me shopping with him, or let me do it for him.

His father’s paintings are all around.

And have the chocolate Italian Ice for dessert. We love it so much that I tried to replicate it here. (Pretty close, my friends. Pretty close.)
