Yep.. Every single thing on this board is from Target. Can you beleive it? I’m super impressed with some of their new collaborations like Zuo (seriously ridiculous lighting!) and DENY, as well as the old favorites like Threshold and Nate Berkus.

Nate Berkus’ gold office accessories are back in stock at Target. Get them while you can!
I ever did see! I bought two sets, one for the kitchen and one for the office. I can come up with a great office use for these, right? Get yours here!
Have you guys seen Target’s fall line up? It’s pretty sick. I am in love with the Phillip Lim handbags! I put together four head-to-toe outfits, 100% from Target. That’ll get you through 4 days of the week. The other three are up to you. 😉
tux it up: tuxedo jacket | pants | handbag | earrings | pumps

Last year, for her birthday, we redecorated E’s room. Her desired color scheme? Purple and pink, probably my least favorite color combination. I started twitching at the thought that it might turn out like something out of a Barbie movie. Well, it didn’t. And I think we were able to create a room that both mother and daughter were happy with.
It all started with the Mariska Meijers pillows. That was my inspiration for the room.
Then we worked up a paint technique that looks like a wash. I love the way it turned out. Her bench- a HomeGoods find that we had reupholstered.
The chandelier is actually broken, but I like it that way. Speaking of broken… I bought this picture frame on clearance at HomeGoods. I had the mirror fixed and replaced the artwork with an enlarged picture of E. I love the way it turned out.
The rocking chair was $20 from Craigslist. The new fabric is from Spoonflower.
This Target lamp had a makeover.
Most of the accessories on her dresser are from HomeGoods. You can buy a similar mirror here.
I had the pillow made from extra fabric from her bench. The table.. HomeGoods.
Her desk is from Land of Nod. You can read about her chair makeover here.
Buy this book set here.
We covered her bulletin board in the same ol’ ostrich fabric that seems to be appearing all over our house. It’s so durable and versatile. I still have a ton left, so you will be seeing more of this!
I love these heart push pins.
The bedding was on clearance at the Land of Nod (sorry, out of stock.) It couldn’t be more perfect!
The shades are from Lowes, but we removed the rose trim and added hot pink!
The jujuhat was quite an ordeal. I am just glad that we finally got it.
The lucite “E” is a custom product. If you are interested in something like this, send me an email.

Recently I received an email from a reader who just found out she was expecting. She wanted some tips on how to look stylish without breaking the bank. It’s been over 5 years since I had to style a bump and it was no easy task considering 1.) My girls were 9 lbs. 5 oz. and 9 lbs 14 oz both a week early 2.) I am not exactly petite to begin with.
I hate despise those tiny bitches who say “I never even had to buy maternity clothes. I just used a Bella Band.” Ugh. I was literally BUSTING out of my maternity clothes by the end of both pregnancies. When Anna was born the nurse said to me “I am so sorry, we don’t have any clothes that will fit her on the L & D floor. We have to go upstairs to the Pediatric Department to find her something bigger.” We don’t grow them small around here, that’s for sure.
Here are some of my favorite tricks. I can tell you that I made the rookie mistake of buying a lot of designer clothes with my first pregnancy. I learned my lesson on the second. Old Navy, Gap and Target will do just fine. H & M has a great Maternity line too. You can also use a ton of existing cardigans, scarves and jean jackets to zhush up your outfits. Accessories are key here, ladies.
