real housewives of beverly hills update

Kyle, Kim, Lisa, Adrienne, Taylor and Camille 

are back for a second season of "fun" 

in Beverly Hills. 

Add two more drama queens to the mix, 

and things get heated fast!  

Season Premiere is September 5th! 

The Top 8 Quotes from the RHoBH Season 2 Preview from Wet Paint:

1. “Beverly Hills, dahling. Chichi chichi chi!”

Lisa Vanderpump gets sassed by some fabulous man in a red skinny tie. We have a feeling something over-the-top stunning is in the midst of being planned in this scene.

2. “She’s washing it with hand soap!”

Stand back, Lisa and Adrienne Maloof are handling raw poultry! Seems like Adrienne’s lost her marbles when she thinks the safe way to sanitize what you’re about to eat, is to just douse the thing in soap first. Yum.

3. “Big hands, big feet, big disappointment.”

Is Camille Grammer dishing about her latest conquest? Hey, Frasier’s left the building. She’s just single and ready to mingle.

4. “Not another dinner party from hell!”

Uh oh! Has all hell broke loose...again? Taylor Armstrong is having a nervous breakdown. Camille sees where this is going...

5. “ENOUGH!”

Taylor does what she does best à la Season 1’s Dinner Party from Hell.

6. “Lisa stirs the pot. That’s the problem...”

Could it be? Lisa? A drama queen? Adrienne seems to think so.

7. “If you can’t be my friend, just please don’t be my enemy.”

Ah, the plot thickens. Taylor reaches the end of her rope and breaks down to Adrienne. But is this too wild a request in the jungles of Beverly Hills?

8. “What do you want from me, Cedric, because this is my party and you’re not invited!”

Cedric Martinez, haven’t you learned your lesson? When he has the nerve to show up at Lisa’s party, she tells him what’s up. Of course, he is besties with Brandi Glanville.

a touch of Amalfi for your own backyard

I'm in love with the Amalfi Collection of outdoor furniture.

 With it's luxurious teak frames, 

polished steel feet, and crisp white Sunbrella fabric,

 this furniture collection can turn any backyard into 

an Italian paradise.  

I can just imagine myself lounging in these 

comfortable sofas and chairs with a tall, cool drink in my hand 

and wearing a huge brimmed hat. 

This style of furniture really transports you to another place, 

and I'm thinking Italy doesn't sound so bad right about now!

I came across this collection at the 

GO MODERN website, 

which is filled with hundreds of gorgeous outdoor furnishings, 

as well as incredible indoor contemporary 

furniture and accessories. 

They have an outstanding collection 

of pieces for every room in the home.

And aren't these Tulip Garden Parasols magnificent? 

They come in different sizes and colors and can be lit from the center! 

They are made in Switzerland, 

and I think they would make a perfect pairing with 

the Amalfi Furniture. 

Imagine having a party with a few of these lit up on a summer evening.   

It's a heavenly vision, only in your own backyard.
