I’ve searched high and low and picked out the most prettiest and unique mirrors! I have always said that hanging the right mirror is a statement piece in a room! Next to lighting and hardware of course! Friends! Come check them all out! I guarantee you’ll find one you’ll want to claim for your home! I most certainly have! XO!
I love hosting dinner parties. I just love creating the ambiance and making the table beautiful. I especially enjoy the entire process. There’s something so therapeutic in it all. Do you feel the same way? I wasn’t looking for these leopard dinner plates when I wandered the store aisles. But once I saw them at Hobby Lobby, I knew I had to grab them! Sadly they don’t sell them online but you could try calling around your local Hobby Lobby store to see if they have any left! I also bought the crystal wine goblets from Kirkland’s a few weeks ago and they are now all sold out so I found another similar match for you! With the exception of the leopard appetizer plates, leopard dinner plates, chargers and crystal wine goblets everything is accurately sourced for you! I did try to find and replicate a similar dinner setting look for you! I hope you will like it just as much! Happy Shopping friends!! XO!
Good morning Friends! Whew! It has been another hot week and for that reason alone is why I picked another cute summer maxi dress for Friday Favorites! I just couldn’t bring myself to think of a fall dress just yet when it’s been in the high 80’s every single day! Isn’t this fuchsia color just gorgeous?! It’s only $30!! Such a steal!! Now how about adding some cute accessories to go with this dress!? Those mixed metal stacked bracelets and the pearl beaded headband set for $10 would make it a great outfit! Don’t you agree?! I have been eyeing this gorgeous cognac weekender bag for months! Now that I’m going on 2 separate upcoming trips in September and in October I finally have the perfect excuse to order it! 😉 Moving onto this beautiful black cane chair with gold tipped feet. I feel like this chair has so many ways it can be utilized! It can be used at an extra wide round dining room table. It can be used at a long rectangular dining room table. Or at a square dining room table. As a pair of accent chairs with a pretty little round side table. So many great ways to use this black dining room chair! My personal home decor style is pretty eclectic but is mostly geared towards French and traditional. I have always been obsessed with expensive Louis Philippe gold gilt mirrors and I found this look alike at a STEAL! You won’t believe how much and where it’s from! I love dutch ovens as I do cook a lot at home! When you’re looking at Le Creuset and Staub brand it can range from the $200 and on up. I have this beautiful and inexpensive dutch oven that I’ve had it for almost a year now and it is still good as new! I highly recommend starting with this brand first if you are new to cooking with dutch ovens. Well friends, I’ve linked everything else for you to go check out and shop! XO!
Hi friends! When do you usually start putting up fall wreaths and porch decor? Did you know that the official start date for fall is September 22nd? No? I didn’t either until recently! I usually try to wait until September 1st! Here we are into late August and fall is coming around the corner whether we are ready or not! And now is the time to start thinking about buying a great autumn wreath for your front door for fall because the best ones usually sells out fast! I’ve searched the net for the 6 best ones to show you out there now and they all range from highs and lows in price. I am always drawn to wreaths that are much fuller, bigger in scale 24″ to 28″ because the fuller they are the better quality they are! Plus they just look much better scale wise on any front door! Think about it, you want to make a grand statement piece on your front door that just invites your friends and family in! I’ve tried to find different style of wreaths that may work with different paint colors of front doors. You always want a wreath that contrasts and stands out on a front door because otherwise what is the point of hanging a wreath if you can’t see it from the curb? Don’t you agree? I also tried to look for wreaths that look unique and not similar to what may already be out in stores. Those are the types of wreaths that are worth buying! All the links are numbered and posted for easy shopping for you! Have a great week friends! XO!
Good morning friends! I’ve got another great round up for Friday Favorites and I think you’re going to love them like I do! Let’s talk about this darling summer dress with lemons on them! I fell in love with it the moment I laid eyes on it! Summer is not over with yet so this dress is perfect dress to wear now don’t you agree?! I recently took my kids to the zoo this summer and knew that I needed to have a purse that was hands free to keep up with my four year old son. Enter this chic & inexpensive backpack purse! It has enough room to pack a spare change of clothes for him and hold my wallet, keys and iphone! I currently have it in black and am now crushing hard on it in the carmel color! My kids had a very busy summer of swim lessons, soccer and lacrosse and I knew I needed something to help me make lunches pretty fast! So I bought an air fryer much to my in-laws suggestions and I am so happy I did! I love using it so much that I only wish that I bought it in this pretty white color with the gold hardware! I might actually want to leave it out all the time on the white countertop! Next item is this pretty garden cache pot! I love the traditional pattern and design on it! Add some white faux gardenias or white faux roses and voila! You have an instant and pretty floral arrangement! Do you shop a few months early for Christmas? Since I have three kids, I like to slowly buy things about six months in advance! It helps to alleviate the budget and the stress of Christmas shopping! I recently found this pretty gold initial necklace for $15 and I just know that it’s the perfect Christmas gift for both of my girls! I’ve linked the rest of my Friday Favorites for you to shop! Have a great weekend friends! XO!
Hi Friends! I’ve rounded up 3 different saves and splurges for you to go check out! I’ll start with the first one which is the 36″ round brass mirror for $350 for the splurge. The $80 save version is from Target and the only difference with it is that it is short by 34″ which isn’t that much! Next up is the rattan bell pendant lighting. I love the Serena and Lily one but it’s at a pricey $298 if budget isn’t a big deal for you? I’ve found the identical save option for you at this site for a steal at $80! Say whaaat?! What’s the difference you might ask? The splurge is smaller by 14″ in diameter and the save is by 16″ in diameter! For that alone, I would probably go for the save option to be honest with you! Last but not least is the faux fig tree! I currently have two in my house and to find the best realistically looking and affordable tree can be a challenge! But don’t worry, I’ve found you two great options! The splurge is this one for $300 and the save option is at $180. I have not found any differences in both faux fig trees as they are both six feet tall. I would say probably a slight difference would be on how full the top portion of the leaves are as the splurge does have a little bit more. And there you have it! I hope this helps you on the guess work if you are in the market for these home decor items! Have a great week friends! XO!
Hi Friends! It’s TGIF! Thank God It’s Friday! 😉 I’ve rounded up some AMAZING finds to share with you today! This beautiful gray initial H blanket is a HERMES dupe! And I’ve found it on Amazon! It comes in 4 different colors! It’s on my list to eventually to buy as I seem to collect a lot of blankets! All five of us love to cuddle up with a good blanket and watch movies, take a long nap or read a great book! Next item is this rattan scallop coffee table tray! The scallop detail is so unique and looks gorgeous in the whitewash color! I highly recommend it!! I have always been in love with all things Parisian and french antiques for a long as I can remember! I just LOVE this fun photography with the floating pink bubbles! It is SO cute! Don’t you agree?! This blue and white color ceramic garden stool is such a classic to add to any home! I have one in my bedroom right next to my nightstand! I use it to put stacks of books on it when I’ve run out of space on my nightstand! Pretty and functional! Win-Win! Last week I was out of town, visiting family and shopping with an old high school friend when I spotted this pretty crystal wine goblet in the store! I was instantly smitten and figured that I would just grab them when I got back to my hometown. Big mistake. I had called all of the nearby stores and they were out of stock so I had to order them online! I just knew I should have grabbed them when I had the chance! Ah. You live and learn right friends? 😉 This white little box with brass handle top is such a nifty little coffee table accessory to have! It’s big enough to hide your tv remotes in it while making your coffee tabletop look stylish! I’ve been on the hunt forever for a traditional floor to ceiling length mirror and most of them can cost anywhere up to a thousand or more! This one is currently on sale for a little over $500! Such a steal!! Don’t wait too long to act on this one if you’re in the market for one! I hope you’ve enjoyed my round ups and the rest I’ve linked for you! I hope you have a great and relaxing weekend friends! XO!
I’ve always loved to entertain and have people over! When we finished the outdoor patio, I especially love hosting outdoors when the weather is really nice out! I recently started to really get into buying what I needed to make hosting go even more smoothly! Today, I am sharing my favorite items that I use to entertain! The two-tiered marble pedestal stands are amazing to put assorted desserts on them! They just look so elegant! I bought 4 to put one on each end of my large white kitchen island when hosting a lot of people! Cheese knives sets are always a must have! Gold, in my opinion just dresses up a basic cheese knives set! This wood and marble charcuterie board adds such character and I use it all of the time! Isn’t this brass 3 bowl condiment so darling? And this marble and glass cake cloche has multi-purpose functions! You can bake a small 8″ cake and let it sit under the cloche and stay fresh when ready to serve. You can also put an assortment of soft and hard cheeses to keep it from getting hard and bitter when left out too long. Or you can keep fresh baked cookies to display in it like a cookie jar too! However you use it, it serves as both decorative and functional for gatherings or every day living! Another great hosting recommendation is this marble wine chiller for times when you’re in a hurry and forgot to put your wine in the fridge before your gathering! So smart! I love having a simple ice bucket for outdoors and stashing several bottles of wine to keep cold but the ice always melts in the warm weather! So I came across this really neat insulated water bucket that keeps wine bottles AND ice cold up to 6 hours! GENIUS! You will always need a pretty cake stand and last but not least a great chip and dip platter! These are my top favorite serving items for gatherings and I hope these entertaining must haves will help you plan your next gatherings! XO!
