Super Cheap Chic Find!

Right before New Years I was shopping with a girlfriend in Crate and Barrel and saw some Champagne glasses that I fell in love with!  I did not get them at the time and kinda regretted it as soon as I got home, my closest Crate and Barrel is over an hour away.  Now the reason I didn't get them at the time was I really didn't need them and had just come from Saks and had dropped a pretty penny on some new Chanel makeup!  So the thirty or so dollars for a few glasses that I wasn't sure we would even use anytime soon, well I just couldn't get them!   But I literally could not stop thinking about these beauties!

After Josh and I decided we were staying in on New Years Eve, and I decided I wanted to make some champagne cocktails I REALLY wished I had sucked it up and purchased those champagne glasses!

We also had no champagne glasses at home either, so come New Years Eve, I set out in search for something.  

Our first and only stop ( thankfully it was our only stop, cause it was kinda late to be buying glassware for the big night! ) was Pier 1.   I saw several plain and a few fabulous glasses that may have worked,  but I knew I found the one, when I saw a  knock off of my Crate and Barrel loves!

Bonus they were on sale for less than four dollars!

Can't beat that!

 As the New Year began, we toasted each other with these lovely glasses filled with a champagne cocktail called a blushing bride,  soooooo yummy!

Here's what you need to make one!

Peach Schnapps -1 oz

Grenadine -1 oz

Champagne - top off the glass

I also substituted the grenadine for chambord and that was super yummy too!

  

This got me popping!

I have a dirty little secret, yes it's time for this blonde to make a confession.....I'm a popcorn whore.  Yup I said it!  I eat popcorn ALL THE TIME!  I mean it's sooooo yummy!!  AND can be low calorie when done right!  I usually get the 97 % fat free bags from any number of stores, and I'm not too particular about the brand either.  However,  for some reason I can never get them to pop right!  They either burn or don't completely pop!  This is very frustrating to this blonde popcorn lover! 

 So I was browsing on amazon the other day and found this.....

I've now used this AIR POPPER almost everyday for two weeks, and I WON'T go back to bags!!

This thing is amazing!!  So I suggest that if you need a last minute gift for someone in your life, who is also a popcorn lover, get them this!!!!

I can't wait to try these yummy looking popcorn recipes!!

Happy Shopping!!

A fabulous new gift store, just in time for Christmas!

Being that I don't tend to care for things that are sold in generic, one -on-every-corner- stores;

I'm always on the lookout for NEW and interesting places to shop.    So when I read an article last month about a new store opening in New York called C Wonder I got super excited!   You see, C Wonder is a store that focuses on affordable luxury.  What could be any better than that!  It's also being opened by Tory Burch's ex husband, so everything seems to have the Tory Burch feel to it.  

  I have been following along on their Facebook page for weeks, just waiting for them to open up their e-commerce site.  Well the time has finally come, it's open!!!!   And let me tell you,  EVERYTHING is fabulous!!

That is just a bit of the fabulousness that they carry!  I mean, were talking shoes, clothing, jewelry and  home decor!   I just wish I hadn't finished so much of my Christmas shopping already!  I would have been all over this stuff for gifts!  Oh well, I guess I'll just have to so some shopping for me!  I'm especially loving those green ikat mugs!  LOVE!!!

I hope you go check them out, it's fabulous!  

Be patient with their site, it was a bit slow at times, I'm assuming they'll be some tweaking they need to do for it to run smoothly!

Gorgeous "Christmas" Finds for Everyday

I had to run by Micheal's Craft Store the other day to pick up a few drawing supplies,  of course I had to wander around to see what was new!  To my pleasant surprise they had quite a bit of Christmas stuff out already!   Check out these gorgeous items that I found in the Christmas section, that are really perfect for everyday!!

FABULOUS!

Just for Fun!

So I thought it would be fun to see what great decorating items I could find  on amazon.com!

Last week, when I found this fabulous sunburst mirror for only $24.99  it got me thinking about what other goodies I could find.   Just from searching this one site!

Here are just a few of my favorite items!! 

Many of which are now on my wish list!!

Umm, HELOOOO GORGEOUS!!

These acrylic nesting tables are only $128!!

Yup, you read that right, only $128!!

OMG!!!  a Louis Ghost Chair!!

This gorgeous beauty is only $46!!!
While shipping is rather steep for one of these, I still think it's one of the best deals
 I have seen on one of these chairs!

Why I haven't been searching Amazon.com for home decor items, I just don't know!!

This has been on my want, but probably will never be able to afford list for the longest time!

These fabulous chairs have been  on other sites for several hundred dollars apiece!!

I may just have to break down and get one for my desk area!

I also adore these Bone Mirrors that ring it at such a lovely price of $115!

Can't you just see them above a nail head trimmed headboard!!

This next lovely item I can not take credit for as the fabulous Cassie from HI Sugarplum! used it in her daughter's gorgeous room makeover!

But this one was such a deal I just had to share!

This cutie is only $16!!

If you want to see  how it looks in an actual space you should most definitely check out her daughters new room!  She did an amazing job!!


 Just in case you tastes run a little more to the silver or pewter side, and so you won't think I had forgotten about you!  Check out this lovely Sunburst Mirror by Two's Company!
LOVE!

One of my post would just not be complete without a little Jonathan Adler thrown into the mix!

Both of these books ring in at just under $10!

Hmm, I really do need to add thisbook to my collection of decorating books!

This one already has a happy little home on my sofa table!

This book is a great help with placing items about the room, especially smaller objects on tables and walls!

LOVE IT!

Just too many goodies to share all at once!
I can't believe they are all in one place either!
Do you all have a favorite ONLINE source when it comes to home decor!?!?
