Maybe you’re already thinking about New Years Eve….(and if you’re like me then you’re keeping it low-key) or just need something cute for your co-workers or girlfriends. Your answer is one of these three gifts….
Let’s keep the moola in our wallet and just spread the love….these three gifts under $50 are perfect for entertainers and those that want a beautifully curated home….!!
The hits just keep on comin’….a few more great gift ideas under $50! Today it’s all about office organization, wine (yay!!) and jewelry. Organization is always stylish!!
Christmas should not be about giving gifts but enjoying the season and the reason! With that in mind, my posts are focused heavily on sales, ways to get through the season without losing your shirt and, of course, gifts that don’t cost a lot. Here are three cool gift ideas under $50!
I’m a fan of “limited edition” items because it means not a lot of people will have it and it just makes it more special…I think. So whenI saw these limited mugs – with a monogram no less, I thought they’d make the perfect gift for all of my lady friends this year….. I hope they don’t see this post! Available here – or in the Shop section!
I know…it sounds weird but I fashion myself a mini-MacGyver (remember the television show?). Therefore, I always carry matches and when I’m out-and-about, I look for cute ones. This matchbox struck my fancy and seem to work well too! BTW – they came in handy a couple of weekends ago when trying to light a bonfire!! And who doesn’t like a little leopard in their life?
When Monica gets here, she’s not going to be happy with this smell…. Oh Monica, your place always smells so yummy when I visit. What is that scent? Hey, it smells pretty good in here. What’s the deal?! The first is my brother-in-law talking to my sister who is cleaning out her new office space. The second is one (of many comments) from a girlfriend upon entering my house….. The last is a male friend who couldn’t care less but
Do you ever want to read when you’re chillin in the tub? Or have you tried only to drop your book in the water? I have…. Well I found this cool handmade bathtub caddy on etsy – and I’m thinking my evening tub escapades have just been upgraded!
I’m ok admitting it….the older I get, the more light I need in my house! I’m becoming my mother and I realize I am preferential to table lamps because they don’t take up floor space, they tend to have more options for fabulous bases, and I can more easily manuever them from room to room. I like Marshalls and Home Goods but found a super cool one at Target! This will go easily in any room and can be a
I’m not a diligent blogger. I’m not the top in my field. I don’t blog everyday. I have chronic ‘writers block’ when it comes to blogging. With all of that out of the way…. I’m trying to do better. Be more consistent. Create better content. Remain authentic. Grow readership. Provide a “reason” to visit the site. To accomplish all of that, I’ve taken a BIG step back to ask, “what am I doing here?” And slowly but surely the answer
I continuously tell my clients that your clothes treat you good when you treat them good — give your clothes a fighting chance to make you look good, and that can’t happen if they’re piled high on the floor. The same holds true for your baubles so when I saw these vintage enameled copper and bronze dishes, I feel in love They are perfect for holding change on your living room table, a stack of match boxes in your office,
I’ve been obsessed with making my house a”grown up” house recently. You ask, “what’s a grown up house?” and while one could argue that anywhere you pay a mortgage constitutes a ‘grown up’ house, I’m really talking about the inside. I love the colors I’ve chosen and some of the furniture I’ve managed to acquire but it’s been missing something – pictures! I have lots that I love and I’m bringing them out of the woodwork to see what
I’m in love with Norwegian blogger, Nina of Stylizimo‘s closet. Do you think you can curate a closet with just fabulous pieces….that you absolutely love? It’s my goal for 2015 – let’s start now!
This gift guide is for home but more for the folks that love to entertain….whether during the holidays or not. A touch of sparkle or metallic chic makes even the most mundane glasses festive. Keep the house smelling Christmas-y, the bubbly on tap, the guest room ready, and serving apparatus ready-to-rock. Welcome visitors and enjoy the holiday – either in your home or for the perfect host/ess!
I was tooling one of my new favorite sites, Houzz, and saw this ~ what was immediately fabulous about it was the (1) organization, (2) all of the lovely baubles to be seen, (3) the variety present, and (4) the hint of additional organization that could be spotted around the rest of the closet. What is your favorite part of this photo? Total closet organization orgasm….. Traditional Closet by Indianapolis Closets And Organization California Closets
Making your house spring-ready doesn’t have to mean spending a fortune. Instead, consider a few colorful (or accent) additions that create some continuity but add that much needed push into a brighter palette. A little throw pillow here, a neutral but playful pillow there, a touch of color under the glass sofa table, a fashionable coffee table read, and you’re ready. Which item would make all the difference in your home?! All of these options hail from…..Urban Outfitters and are
Don’t get me wrong, I love my living room ~ the colors, my accumulated items, and my overly busy coffee table (yikes!). That said, when Target approached me with the opportunity to use their new Target Threshold line to redecorate one room in my house, I jumped on it! The living room is my main entertaining area and it needed some love ~ an opportunity to bring spring quicker (fingers crossed) and create some color continuity~ and when I checked
