Gems at Urban Outfitters

In the past I've not always been an easy style fit for most of the home offerings at Urban Outfitters, so I don't check out their website regularly. But I popped over last week and ended up buying a bunch of things. (A lot of it was on sale, too. Bonus!). I can't believe all the cool lighting they have right now. Floor lamps galore.

The robot bank below is really cute in person and the girls love it (are your kids obsessed with piggy banks like mine are?).  I'm also so excited about those cute brass sconces. I bought a pair for Heather's room redo - they were only $29! Total steal.

One Kings Lane Blogger Tastemaker Tag Sale

I'm super excited to be a part of the first One Kings Lane Blogger Tastemaker Sale! It was such a pleasure to round up about 25 really special items for the event.

I love the hot pink velvet gold-leafed bamboo bench (above) a lot, but I also really REALLY love these tomato red klismos chairs.

There are so many great pieces that I can't wait to show you! And I'm absolutely dying to see what the other bloggers picked!

Don't forget to log in on Thursday, Oct. 6 at 9pm EST/6pm PST. One Kings Lane is a by-invite membership site, so if you need an invite to set up your account and shop the sale on Thursday, here you go!

(pssst...come back later today for Emily's living AND dining room tour. It will be inspiration overload!)

Madeline Weinrib Sample Sale (New Rug for the Girls Room!)

**Sorry for double posting this. Blogger has been having site-wide technical difficulties and all of yesterday's posts and comments were lost. Bummer. **

I got a little preview yesterday of the Madeline Weinrib sample sale happening at ABC today through next Monday. There were TONS of great rugs, pillows and fabrics.

My little Gracie Girl, who is not yet six and who has lost FOUR teeth in the past two months (!!!), was my shopping partner in crime. We made a little mommy/daughter date of the outing and indulged in Shake Shack afterwards.

Madeline Weinrib products are not inexpensive, but the designs are gorgeous and the quality is amazing - totally splurge worthy. The 30-70% off at this sale helps too, making a large cotton flatweave about the price of a Pottery Barn rug.

I picked out a couple pillows and rugs for clients and Grace tried her best to convince me on the pink and red chevron tote (close, but no cigar).

Instead I used my motherly powers of persuasion to get G to fall in love with this fun dhurrie. I've had my eye on the design for a while now and there was only one of these at the sale. It just happened to be the exact size I needed for the girls room, so we'll just say it was fate and that I couldn't say no. Plus, it's called the Jellybaby Rug. I mean, come on. So cute.

If you're in the city, stop by the sale ASAP - it's worth it! If you're not local, try giving Rick, who is the manager of the clearance basement at ABC, a call and tell him I sent you. They are so helpful and are always willing to ship to other states.

(Heaven on earth, I say...)

Mint and Cobalt

Do you ever look at a piece of clothing and wonder why (WHY?!) don't we make home fabrics in colors and patterns as gorgeous and fresh as fashion fabrics?

Today I am shopping for a fabric or bedding for a client's master that looks just like this Rebecca Taylor skirt.

I'm going to swing by ABC to see if there is anything new for me on the bedding floor. And speaking of ABC, who's joining me for the Madeline Weinrib sample sale this week? 40-70% off this Thursday through Monday, in the clearance basement at 881 Broadway.
