Home Improvements.

As I promised, I am going to post the progress in our new home!

The style of our house is begging for West Elm furniture everywhere. While I am a huge fan of West Elm, I am not a huge fan of their prices. So in order to achieve the look for less, I have curated several pieces of retro furniture that West Elm has, or probably will eventually copy and put into production.

Last year, I scored these fabulous mid-century alumina-wicker chairs at the Goodwill on Charlotte Pk (the exact chairs were on the 2nd to last episode of True Blood in black!) Since I bought them, I have been racking my brain to find the perfect table to compliment them and at long last, I found the table yesterday at Southern thrift on Charlotte. Lately, I have been craving a backyard soiree, I think finding the table has increased the craving :)


oh and the moroccan lamp was found new from Salvation Army.

She's so fly.

Chloe Sevigny Resort 2011.
I have a great Chloe Sevigny story.

When I lived in NY I used to see Ms. Sevigny everywhere as we lived in the same neighborhood. One day while walking down St. Marks rocking my Betsey Johnson leopard print platforms and plaid romper; I saw this really hot blonde in cut off shorts crossing my path. I did a double take, turned around and as I was checking her out, Chloe herself was checking out my steez with a particular interest in my leopard platforms. This was a few months prior to her first collection with Opening Ceremony and it makes perfect sense because she integrates an awful lot of leopard print into her collections!! SHE ROCKS!

Parlour's Passups.

passed up this amazing zig zag sequin shell because it was missing a row of piping :(

wanted to buy this record mostly because the model on the cover is simply stunning. The songs, however, were not so stunning

the floral sequin number was amazing, but I have soooo many way more amazing glitter tops!!
