Mild Obsession

Do you think I could attend therapy for my mild pillow obsession? At least it's an inexpensive obsession to have. It could be worse, and I could have a thing for Tory Burch flats! Hum...

I was on Etsy and found so many patterned pillows that I couldn't resist ordering. They are for multiple spaces of course and not all will end up in my home. Some are for clients, but it still felt good purchasing them! I love shopping with other people's money! Have I also mentioned how much I am enthralled with Etsy?!

Mill Creek Maze Pillow Cover from LilyOnBlue



Dwell Studio Bella Porte Citrine Pillow from LillyBellesGarden



Waverly Charcoal Gray Lattice Pillow from DIYPillows

Waverly Ellis Mod Turquoise Lattice Pillow from DIYPillows

Pink/white Cadence Lattice Print Pillow from DIYPillows

All of the pillows from DIY Pillows were between $12 and $15 dollars and she's advertising free shipping which is a HUGE added bonus. That alone is incentive to buy from her shop. It easily saved me $10. 

Paisley Print Pillow from My Vintage Monkey

This pillow will be used with the turquoise lattice pillow, and the sienna maze pillow. Mixing patterns and textures adds so much life to a room! I can't wait to see them all together on my client's couch. I'll post a pic when they arrive. What are your thoughts on the 3 together?

Bargains....

I found so many great things at Marshalls and TJ Maxx yesterday! It seems like everything there just kept calling my name. First, I found the cutest tunic to go with my new Calypso for Target swim suit. I must mention the fact that I saw it on a rolling rack a lady was pushing, so I chased her down walked quickly and nabbed it before she even put it out on the floor. :) The colors were perfect. I love the large scale floral print and this is exactly what I had in mind! Plus, $16.99! I couldn't pass it up!

Tunic from Marshalls $16.99!

 I also found Frederic Fekkai Technician Color Care shampoo and conditioner. They are regularly $24 each and I purchased each for $12.99. These products are amazing and work wonders on my hair! It turns out so shiny and silky. The products were on a shelf with soaps and bath products, so you might have to dig a little to find them at your store. Happy Hunting! Stay tuned for my great furniture and accessory finds from last night!

Technology Tuesday- iPad cases

Today is Tuesday so I renamed it Technology Tuesday. Just for this week though! In honor of Technology Tuesday I searched for fun iPad cases. If you love your iPad as much as I do, then you need to style it up with a flirty case. It will be protected when you travel, are on the go, and you will look good carrying it! That is the most important part, right? Here are some sassy cases I found.

Hamptons Sea 

Mumbai Buff

The 2 cases above are from designer Stephanie Johnson of Venice Beach, Ca. You might have seen her products in Southern Living, People, or Lucky Magazine. She has 27 cosmetic bags, cases, and toiletry bags to choose from in 38 seaside inspired prints. They can also be purchased at Neiman Marcus. The iPad cases are listed for $50.
