Wedding Lines

In case you haven't heard, Anthropologie just came out with a wedding dress line called BHLDN. Thanks Jules, the one person who reads this blog :)

I love this unusual Burnished Organza Gown for $1400:


We'll see how the line fares against J. Crew's. Seem to have similar prices from about $500 up to $4000. Love this J. Crew Cascade gow for $2500:



I hear now that Costco is coming out with their own line of bridal dresses, some of them reaching $1500. Sorry Costco, but that doesn't sound like a bargain to me!

Hang On Coat Rack

I love this hanger-inspired Normann Copenhagen Hang On Coat Rack ($96). Is it possible to recreate this? Sounds like a disaster with many injuries waiting to happen..

Doggy Bookends

Haven't posted in a while as I've been busy trying to teach my 5 mo old how to turn his head to the side once he rolls on his tummy. Extremely difficult but I think - hope - he is slowly getting it. I did have time to find these adorable zoo bookends ($35) on skiphop.com.

Some Grandma Love

I think I'm aging myself here when I say that I love these wool hooked footstools on L.L. Bean. Can't say that these are something I would have been in the market for just a few short years ago. But I'm short, and it's nice to prop your feet up, so sue me! I appreciate comfort, what can I say.

No Way

No, do not tell me that this is making a comeback! Please, no. I have unfortunately been known to have some hoarding characteristics, and I had in a box one just like this, from high school, sitting around collecting dust for the past 15 years. In an effort to shed these hoarded items last spring I finally donated it! This morning I was startled to see this selling for $325 on the Tory Burch site, what!?!?

Tummy Hiding Suit

Since my post-baby stomach has not exactly flattened up yet, I've been looking for a tummy-hiding suit for the summer. I can't afford the miracle suit, but love these similar options from J. Crew:

solid tie bandeau tank ($82):


solid ruched bandeau tank ($82):



ruched knotted front one ($88) ok, not so tummy-hiding but still like it:
