A Splurge or a Steal!

This is just like a magazine ...only real life! I got myself this really cute knotted rope bracelet from American Eagle a couple of weeks ago for $12.50 and today I saw a very similar version at, since we're so tight we'll just call it "A", for $118! Rock!!

A Look at Home

I think Elliot has made one of the biggest decisions of his life. What will be there with him through thick and thin and become his beloved duppy. The unveiling...

One of the wonderful pieces of furniture abandoned in our basement by the previous owners. Perfect for E.

Our bed was treated to a new white duvet over the holidays, and the old one was thankfully trashed (but is remembered quite fondly having given us 10 good years). Doesn't usually seem so off center in there but then I've never looked at my bed from this angle. Oops.

My Spring Wish List!

It's been ages since I've made an appearance here, but I'm back! Seems to be a little less time for blogging these days as much of it is spent entertaining the little guys. But I've taken a few moments to look around and found some loves that give me an early case of spring fever. And of course, the first place I looked was Anthropologie.

A stunning rug that deserves a spot on the worn wood floors in front of my fireplace... in place of the warm winter flames, really.

I have a thing for blue, as you may conclude if you take a peek at the tops I got for Christmas :). But turquoise is always a huge summer hit and I'd start early with a small collection of these.

Now this sweet necklace is only $28 and it comes in 3 gorgeous colors, one of which is a very pretty coral (for my Cara) and a equally cool turquoise. I'm into mint and pistachio hues today (and flavors of ice cream too!)

I just like to put flowers in my hair, what can I say...

I love this mosaic tote! It's beaded and embroidered and about $75, which is a great price gosh darn it! The details are really beautiful.

I wanted a pair of these flip floppy whatchamacallits last summer, so this is the time. Piperlime - $79. I really like the tan canvas and brown leather with studs. So super cool!

A more feminine gladiator and I think it's really lovely.
