West Elm Fun Dinnerware and August Morgan Cocktail Napkins



Apologies for the absence- I have been busy packing and painting away.

Evil Facebook has a way of alerting me to things that I'd really like to buy, but shouldn't.  This is of course why people/companies pay to advertise on Facebook! 

This originally caught my eye:
Collector's Edition Square Salad Plate, Pink Flamingo, 7.5
Flaming Square Salad Plate

I mean, come on!
Dapper Animal Salad Plates
Lobster Salad Plate
I'm only human

Collectors Edition Pitcher - $29
Collector's Editions Trays
Collectors Serving Trays
And a cat piece for good measure
Collector's Editions Dinnerware - Colorful Still Life

Imagine throwing in some cocktail napkins with this stuff.  I am obsessed with August Morgan's, and for a bit more, you can mix and match!  Perfect for me, and anyone else who would want several of her designs!

Friday Finds 5/20/16

Happy Friday!  Do you all have something fun planned?  I was hoping to go and eat oysters, but instead, I am continuing to paint, clean and house hunt.  Those things, plus the loss of a much beloved pet (my sister's, not mine, but it hurts almost as much) have kept me from blogging this past week.  

But I am always window (or real life) shopping, and here are my latest finds:

Dapper Animal Salad Plate, Lobster
Lobster Salad Plate from West Elm - $10
Completely obsessed with this monogrammable vegetable leather bag, even though it's not in season:
Kabolillie Emily Personalized Bag
This lobster tee from Forever 21 for $8.90.  Soft and definitely see through!  Ignore the awful choker that it's pictured with.  Who would wear a choker with a sea creature anything?!?!
Lobster Print Tee
Forever 21 Lobster Tee- $8.90
It also comes in a whale print, which I did not see in store.  Again, ignore the choker and whatever the model is or is not wearing on the bottom.
Whale Graphic Tee
Forever 21 Whale Shirt- $8.90
Overpriced, but would consider on sale:
Painted Wood Whales Wall Art Set
Pottery Barn set of 3 Painted Whales - $199
A more reasonable option from Home Goods for $19.99

Broke out the lobster duvet with lobster and whale pillows :).  There to help, as always, was Louis Philippe.

If you are a pet owner, hug your pets tight and never take any time with them for granted.  You don't have forever.  RIP, sweet Harvey.

Friday Finds 5/13/16

Happy Friday the 13th.  I hope that it brings everyone fun and luck!  Per my usual Friday the 13th ritual, I will be watching the original film tonight.

There was no Friday Finds post last week due to keyboard malfunction, so apologies for that.

For this Friday:
Prep Obsessed Pineapple Studs in Silver or Gold - on sale for $9.95 down from $19.95


Escapada 3/4 sleeve Mimi dress - $78. Great price and looks so much like another, much more expensive brand. And it comes in tons of colors and patterns!
Tory Burch Crab Flat Espadrille
Tory Burch crab espadrilles - $195 (OUCH!)
Tory Burch Crab Tank Top
Tory Burch crab tank- $199 (also OUCH- for a tank?!)

laduree kerrie hess covent garden
Laduree x Kerry Hess Macaron Boxes- which to choose?!

 Speaking of roses, this one smelled so perfect!
 Family time.  Can't beat it!
 
Great time with Remy blowing bubbles and playing soccer.
