Hello Twin!

If you're like many women I know, you may have been lusting over the Colette Bed at Crate and Barrel.  The soft sultry curves, lightly textured fabric, upholstered frame and perfectly placed nailhead details are seductive... however the price is not sooo seductive.  Queen = $1699 + SH

Enter Urban Home's Lauren Bed... 

Gorgeous lines, upholstery and nailhead details - all very similar to the Colette.  While the name is not as memorable as the Colette Bed, the price tag also won't be as memorable on your credit card statement (phew!).  Queen = $599 + SH.

So save a bundle by shopping at Urban Home... and save Colette for the name of your firstborn!


Note: This is just my budget friendly opinion. I was not paid to blog about either company. 

Lucky at Lucketts

Are you lucky enough to live close to Lucketts? If so, be sure to scurry over there this weekend for a great big Spring Market Extravaganza! Bring the big car (and maybe the trailer) though, it looks like there will be some great finds and deals to be had. I wish I still lived close enough to shop and visit!

And while you're there... stop by Amy's booth to see some great new jewelry and girly-girl accessories from Girls Day Out.

Liberty of London

I love Liberty prints. So ofcourse I'm excited to see it at Target!!! And they are releasing the line right around my birthday (great use for a target giftcard... hint hint!). Can't wait!

Love it!

I love the flirty ruffles and combination of textures on these shirts. This style of shirt definitely is trendy right now. I'm always attracted to them around Valentines Day. They're perfect for this time of year, under a cardigan, ofcourse! Pair with jeans or a skirt and an enamel ring and you're ready to go. Cute and stylish for work or Saturday afternoons. Love it!

Goodness

This holiday weekend was filled with goodness. I went home to visit with my family, eat lots of delicious food, and relax! Our Thanksgiving celebration was fabulous.

Thursday we celebrated Thanksgiving by watching the parade, eating Monkey Bread, and then feasting on one huge meal in the afternoon. That night we attempted some midnight madness at the local outlets, but turned around when we saw the insane amount of traffic (if I only had photos!). We returned home to a midnight snack of ham biscuits!

Friday morning was the perfect time for a walk/run at the beach with Auntie A, Em, and the dog. Friday afternoon we had a freak storm - hail, snow, and lots of rain - so we napped and spent time with the grandparents. Em got me hooked on Glee, which we watched on Hulu. Loved it!

Saturday the weather was beautiful. Em and I went back out to the outlets and checked everything off our list in 2 hours. Watched more Glee, ate more leftovers, and spent time with Michael's family. In the evening we celebrated Auntie A's birthday and ate more delicious food.

Sunday it was time to pack up and get ready to go back home. We tried out my parents new coffee pot in the morning. I'm so glad they decided to go with this model. No more worrying about the burner on or that gross taste of burnt coffee.

I could not have asked for a better weekend. Thanks for hosting all of us, Mom and Dad! We had a great time! Now off to bake gingerbread cookies. Loving this holiday season!
