Ariana Madix arrives to her sandwich shop Something About Her in edgy top and ripped jeans – as filming on season 11 of Vanderpump Rules commences
It won’t be much longer until Ariana Madix and Katie Maloney’s sandwich shop Something About Her will be open for business.
On Friday, Ariana, 38, was spotted stopping by the restaurant with a grocery bag from Erewhon as she emerged from her car.
What exactly was in the grocery bag remains a mystery, but some hot pink fabric was seen dangling out of the sack.
The Vanderpump Rules star, 38, looked fab in an edgy, colorful grey top, ripped jeans, and her usual long, flawless nails.
She parked her car and strode down the sidewalk in suede footwear.

Her long blonde hair cascaded down in beachy waves on either side of her stunning complexion while a taupe purse hung from her shoulder.
Ariana has been moving onwards and upwards after a dramatic and emotional few months which saw her relationship with Tom Sandoval end following his affair with Raquel Leviss.
In addition to opening up her new sandwich shop with Katie, she has a new boyfriend, fitness trainer Daniel Wai, and has scored countless endorsement deals.
The latest sighting comes as it has been reported that Raquel had finally begun contract negotiations for Vanderpump Rules season 11.
As production attempts to capture the fallout from her months-long affair with Tom behind Madix’s back, the reality star, 28, is working to arrange her return to the show.
On the heels of the unscripted reality show’s record-breaking finale, which earned 4.1 million viewers, marking a series high, a source told TMZ that the former pageant queen only began hammering out the details of her new contract ‘just three days ago.’
Bravo has reportedly been hesitant to make a deal with her until she completes her stay at a mental health facility over fears of ‘legal peril if she backslides’ if they bring her ‘back too early.’
Now, production feels they have ‘the green light to start the negotiations’ as she prepares to leave treatment ‘soon.’

The delayed talks come just days after an insider told the outlet that season 11 of Vanderpump Rules was set to go into production on Wednesday, but Leviss had not committed to joining the cast and crew.
Sources for the publication said that both Bravo production and Leviss’ team are ‘working hard to get her on the show’ but her time at the mental health facility still remains a priority.
The rest of the cast including Ariana and Tom will all be making their return to the highly-popular Bravo program.
During season 10’s reunion which aired earlier this month, Raquel was noncommittal about coming back.
At the time she told boss Andy Cohen: ‘I don’t know. It’s in question right now. I want to.’
