fashion friday

By 8 Comments

although my first love is interiors, i also have a soft spot for fashion.
i find the textures, patterns, colors, and trends inspiring.

i am drooling over ann taylor loft’s fall look.
casual, sophisticated, and comfy.
unfortunately their prices are a little out of my reach.
paying over $500.00 for one outfit is just not in the cards.
thank goodness for stores like forever 21.
i was able to create this $533.50 ann taylor loft look for $121.60 at forever 21.
now that is reasonable.


who doesn’t love j.crew?
classic, fashion forward, and practical.

i don’t love their prices though.
$633.50 at j.crew or $108.20 at forever 21.
not bad.


i am very excited about this year’s fall trends, anyone else?

zoey’s handmade haven

zoey’s homemade haven is my favorite by far.
i think i love everything about this nursery.
i want those drapes..and rug..and chair…ok, everything.
not your typical nursery print but i love them.

a banner, what a great way to personalize a space.

this nursery wouldn’t be complete without a chandelier.
i recognize this one, $39.99 from ikea.
what an eclectic mixture of storage bins.
sure makes diapers and wipes more attractive.

isn’t this space amazing?

considering myself lucky!

i should buy a lottery ticket today because today is my LUCKY day.
i scored 4 faux bamboo arm chairs for $75.00 total!

i am so excited.
kinda giddy actually.

now i just need to decide what to do with them.
should i paint, re-upholster, and sell?
should i keep them for my dining room?


or use them as accent chairs by my fireplace?


or an office chair?
i need one of those!

what would you do with these chairs?
what color would you paint?

i bought a RUG!

By 18 Comments

my cold feet are thanking me, i finally bought a rug.
the blogosphere saved me on this one.
i was reading 6th street design school and she featured blogger love and photographs beautiful home.
the second i saw the rug in her living room i knew it would be perfect.

so i looked on ikea.com, it was no where to be found 🙁
i stopped into ikea this week to look at the sheepskin rugs and i saw this RUG.
it was calling my name, i needed it.
i am so glad i bought it, it is perfect.
now i just need a little layering action with a plush sheepskin throw.
