New Trend? "Mid Century Froufrou"
Six years later, I still love OKL.
Long time no see.

I'm crushing on our new bedroom wallpaper from Meg Braff Designs. As the "vintage palm" trend rages on, the elegant bamboo print is a perfect complement to the teak bed we found at CB2.
Now I'm on the hunt for some mid-century chairs that I can recover in an over-the-top floral (aka froufrou) pattern....

You're a Beauty Editor? Me too!
Most fun - the element of surprise - it's like Christmas every time your package arrives in the mail.

A Homage to One Kings Lane
It's been a while, right? Well, it's been quite the year. Need I say more? A lot has changed; namely, my new found obsession with home decor. Once a "shabby chic" kinda gal, I've found my own sense of style, thanks to various home decor sites, but mainly, One Kings Lane (OKL).
Similar to other popular first-come-first serve online boutiques (RuLaLa, Gilt, IvoryTrunk, etc), OKL brings chic brands to the savvy masses by offering member-only deals on fabulous finds. What sets OKL apart is their Tastemaster Tag Sales, featuring drastically discounted pieces from top interior designer's personal inventory.
You must strike while the sale is hot, or you'll miss the boat on one-of-a-kind steals. I'm still stewing after missing this amazing Mike Mills print from Molly Luetkemeyer's tag sale last week. If anyone is listening, I would like this for Christmas. Good luck finding it though.

I Concede...to Patent Leather Pumps
Well, now I am. And these Kensie Girl heels in "key lime" from Akira are so fun and affordable, I may just win a bet and buy them.
Anthropologie, Oh How I Love Thee
For those who know me well, this may sound a bit contradictory, as I can always count on Anthro to help satisfy my dress obsession needs in the summer. But this spring/summer, I will be making room in my closet (and budget) for many more obsessions, inlcuding this ensemble, created on Polyvore.com.

Help the Economy: Shop Online Today!
The best deals will be on electronics, especially at Best Buy, Circuit City, WalMart and Amazon. If you're looking for apparel and accessories, try my favorites: Net A Porter, Piperlime, Bluefly and Lands' End (the best for parents' gifts).
And don't forget to help the little guy on Etsy, a hub for handmade wonders, or even better, a local boutique (online and offline).

As Discussed...
Even better, the flannel version of these Steven Alan bloomers also made the list.
