West Elm Rug Sale

You can still get 30% off rugs at West Elm through the end of today.

I've been eyeing the Zigzag Rug in Espresso for a while:

Also always liked this Andalusia Dhurrie in Feather Gray/Ivory:

Chalk Talk Goblets

These should come in handy for your upcoming holiday party, these chalk talk goblets ($15.96 for set of 4) on World Market.

Smart Poncho Purchase

I'm proud of myself for making a very smart poncho purchase at Old Navy. I was looking in the girls section for a secret santa gift, and found this XL Girls Fringed Poncho Sweater for only $12. Fits great! Online it's listed as $19.99. Love getting compliments on this secret bargain buy.

Tray Table

I love this Savon Tray Table on Ballard Designs ($219). The lift-off top makes it a good bar cart or serving tray, but it would also look cute in a bedroom as an end table or holding odds and ends in the bathroom.

Holiday Sweater

I love this Lucca Couture Metallic Icicle Sweater on Urban Outfitters ($59, free shipping on items over $50). You always need one new holiday piece for the season...

I'm drooling over the Pangea Home furniture sale on One Kings Lane today, love these items like the Allison lamp, Bentley Dining Chair, Walnut Snake Shelf, and Espresso Caldwell Side Table.

Baby Bunny Bloomers

Love these cute Sweet William Bunny Diaper Covers in blue, featured today on OneKingsLane ($19):

Dream Winter Coat

Just saw this and obsessing about it, Zara's Leather Biker Coat ($199), wonder if it's truly warm enough for the bitter cold, but also sorta don't care!

Two-Tone Heel

I love these shoes! Free People solitary heel ($148):

H&M Outerwear Sale

At H&M this weekend take 30% off all outerwear for women, men & kids. 

I love this Parka ($69.95):

 

Fall Weather Boots

I love the height and denim-y look of these Free People 1964 Premium Weather Boots ($140). Appropriate for the next few days in facing hurricane Sandy and for supporting the denim on denim trend.

Horse Ring

Being stuck inside with internet access during a hurricane is bad for my wallet. I've already done too much online shopping today. Trying to contain myself from further damage but loving this horse ring from C. Wonder ($28):

Uniqlo Online

You can now buy Uniqlo goodies online! I love this orla kiely collection:

Sequin Embellished Skirt

Ever since I saw someone walking down the street wearing this skirt paired with a simple grey T, I've been obsessed with finding it.

AllSaints Newaz Skirt:

Also find a similar version at Express, for $59.90 in pitch black or neutral:

Mid-Century Design Serving Trays

I love these porcelain serving trays by Michael & Rigo featured today on fab.com. Love the bright colors and Mid-Century furniture designs:

Zara Home

Zara Home is now live in the US. Everything from accessories to bed spreads. Shop online here.

Patchwork Dresser

Love that this Patchwork Dresser from West Elm can basically work with anything ($999).

Halloween Throwback Earrings

I want these vintage Mr. Bones earrings ($16), but don't like the fact that they're called 'vintage'. I totally had these in like 5th grade, where could they be..

The Perfect Leggings

I just made arguably the best purchase ever - these J. Crew signature leggings ($39.50). I panicked that the leggings I was wearing were see-through so I went and bought these and they are amazing! Not only are they NOT see-through but they also are thick and help smooth out lines. I bought them one size too big so they actually look like slim black pants, but are as comfortable as wearing sweats to work. I feel like I seriously just pulled one over on everyone.

Graphic Colorful Rug

The possibility of becoming a house home owner in the near future comes with the realization that the house will likely have more empty rooms than not for the first couple of years! Hopefully I can leave aside enough to buy a few key pieces, like this Anntian Graphic Color Wool Rug on Jumelle ($515):

I like this one:

Caviar Nails

Intrigued by this idea of Caviar Nails that Katy Perry has been known to sport. Buy Ciate beads at Sephora for $25:

Suedette Jacket

I love jackets, I have way too many and I end up wearing the same on the entire season. If I need to add one this year, I will be budget-conscious this fall and buy this Forever21 Wrinkled Suedette Jacket for $37.80:

Peter Pan Collars

I made the mistake of buying a shirt with Peter Pan collar without trying it on, and promptly returned it the next day! The material created a bizarre fit and I just looked goofy. Still on the prowl for one and my eye caught these:

J. Crew's Peter Pan collar tee:

Kill 2 trends with one purchase with this Chandi & Lia Peter Pan Collar Colorblock Dress on UO: 

Too sheer, but I like the idea of this Sequined Collar Blouse on Forever 21:

Ok this one isn't exactly Peter Pan but I like it anyway, Max C Blouse With Scallop Collar on ASOS:

See other ASOS Peter Pan styles here.

Or go the route of collar as accessory and add a Peter Pan collar to any shirt. I love this Top Shop Sequin Peter Pan Necklace:

 

Find other great Peter Pan accessories and Necklaces on TopShop here.

Lastly, check out Etsy for some amazing one-of-a-kind wallet-friendly collar accessories.

Ikat Dinnerware

For our wedding, we only ended up with one full place setting and two sets of flatware, so I'm always on the lookout for something cute and reasonably priced so that one day I may have more than two dishes that match. I love this C. Wonder ikat pattern (prices $10-$14):

Personalized Cuffs and Necklaces

I love the simple and classy pieces from Jook and Nona.

My favorite is this Gold Fingerprint Scapular Necklace from the fingerprint collection:

Also love the Personalized Brass Cuff Bracelets from the East End Collection:

Hip Cleaning

I've been trying to think of the name of this store forever it's called the Alice Supply Co! If you're going to arm yourself with a screwdriver and hammer, they might as well be pretty.

 

Find other garden and home essentials like plungers. Even some fun bonus items like retro ping pong paddles. 

The Leather Tee

I love these leather tee shirts I've been seeing eveywhere. Here are a few of my favorites.

Patterson J. Kincaid Leather Tee:

Saving the best for last, this Rebecca Taylor crepe leather tee:

Loft Sale

The Best in Branches

I probably need a cute cottage in the country for these branch home accessories, but I can admire them from afar!

Urban Outfitters Branch Curtain Tie-Backs (2 for $24), they have such steals on home accessories.

Pottery Barn's Branch Hardware knobs and pulls (also see their door handles):

Who doesn't love a bird on a branch? Check out this wall decal from World Market (only $12.59):

And also from World Market this Woodlands Table Lamp ($44.99):
