Charles Edwards Lighting.

I have been on the hunt for the perfect pair of sconces.  Although they don’t have what I am looking for,  I keep coming back to Charles Edwards’ lighting.  I ain’t kidding— he makes some real stunners.  Check it out for yourself.

Fashion Friday: Target’s Got It In The Bag.

We all love Target.  I get it.  But I am more of a kid’s clothes, home goods Target customer than women’s fashion.  However, lately I have been buying quite a few pieces there for myself as we look forward to Fall.  Here are just a few of the goodies that I’ve picked up.
(Not exactly Fall) but I found these bad boys on clearance in the store for $9.98… Sorry, still $19.99 online.
Totally into these.
I first bought these for E and was totes jealous and then I spotted a pair for myself, so now we can be matchers.  (Sorry, couldn’t find the Women’s pair online.)
Love this sweater.  The sizing is Junior, so order one size up.
Loved the colors in this flannel.  Again, it’s a Junior- so go up a size!
LOVE.  You know the routine (Junior..)  Am I turning into a hipster?

5 Day Hair.

Some of you may remember a few weeks ago, when I went to New York and got some beach waves courtesy of blow.  Did you know that they are the original blow dry bar?  I was super impressed with the stylists as well as the products.

True story-  My stylist asked me if she needed to wash my hair before she curled it and I said “Probably…  I am on day 2.”  She literally laughed at me and said “DAY 2????  Honey, I wash my hair once a week!”  As I went on to talk to other stylists, they all admit to washing their hair only 2x a week.  So I asked them how they get away with it and they (of course) told me dry shampoo.  Now, I am no stranger to dry shampoo, but I find myself using it on Day 2 and needing to wash my hair after that.  Then they introduced me to the blow pro faux dry shampoo..  I have been using it since my visit and just stocked up on two more bottles.  I am obsessed.  Now, I still will only go a maximum of three days with it, but man does it make my hair feel clean and voluminous!   
Another secret?  They also make this awesome shower cap that has a terry cloth inner lining that protects your hair from the moisture created with a regular shower cap.  Love it!

Fashion Friday: Neon Yellow + Nude.

A few readers asked me about the neon yellow and nude lace shirt that I wore to the party at Jonathan Adler’s studio this summer.  It’s from AT’s Spring Collection.  While they don’t have the neon yellow in stock any more, they do have a rose version, which is pretty damn cute.  Anywho.. I am still not off of my neon yellow and nude kick….
Summer is coming to a close, but it is not a reason to ditch this delicious duo.

Make an Investment.

Last year, I was torn on what color  J. Crew Excursion Vest to get.  It was like Sophie’s choice-  I chose orange, but I also wanted navy.  Sadly, by the time I realized my mistake, they were all sold out.  Oh, the regret!

  I couldn’t be happier to report that they are back in stock.  Get yours before it’s too late!

That’s What I’m Talking About.

Last year I wrote about the amazing wallpaper from Black Crowe Studios.  Well, check out some recent installations of their papers.
Is this room not TO DIE FOR?  It was designed by Robert Passal for the Hampton Designers Showhouse.
 This color combo has me weak in the knees.
 Loving the purple and emerald as well.
Okay, okay… I love them all.
