Touches of Turquoise

Maybe because I'm a December baby, I've always loved turquoise. My birthstone is actually called "tanzanite", which through the years I have discovered can look like anything from light blue to teal.
Cmon "birthstone color deciders", lol....make up your mind!

An entire room, an object, or small splashes of color, turquoise is always welcome.

Brick Walls Exposed

How amazing is the chandelier above the dining area? ...love!

One of the things I love most about New York is that "exposed brick" is considered a luxury item in most apartments or lofts. If you are lucky enough to have one, you and I would be on the same interior design page.

If you are lucky enough to have an exposed brick wall, and  live in a New York City loft? 
I'm moving in, STAT.

Anthropologie: Five Under $50.00

If your'e like me, there are certain stores that you absolutely LOVE from the minute you walk in.
You love the items, the displays, the smell of the store....everything is inviting you "in".
Anthropologie is definitely one of those stores for me!

Truth be told, many times, the prices are enough to scare me away. I did a little research on the Anthropologie website to challenge myself to find items that I not only love, but would fit well within a $50.00 budget.

I'm so excited to share my favorites with you....and wait for it......some are not only well below $50.00, a couple are $10.00 and under!

JORD Watches: E-Gift Card Giveaway!

Green is the new pink this Valentine's Day. and nothing says "I love you" like the perfect gift of time!
Yes, I'm a sucker for flowers and candy too, but I'd much rather have a gift that I can enjoy long after the flowers have wilted and the candy has been eaten, wouldn't you?
