I was walking by Pottery Barn the other day and after I passed the window I stopped in my tracks and had to go back. I had caught a glimpse of this chair in the window. I kind of LOVE it! It scares me a little because I feel like it is very retro-preppy, but maybe it isn't...Maybe it is just classic? I want to put in in my sunroom or my casual sitting room and mix in all sorts of other coordinating colors and patterns or maybe put it in a room full of whites and kahkis. I haven't seen anything like this, and I love that pottery barn came out with it!

Magazines



A few weeks ago, I signed up for a subscription with a home decorating/style magazine that was a really good deal. It was something like $15 for a year. Now the only problem is that I can't remember which magazine it was! I know I was interested in both Blueprint and Domino. Blueprint- because it is produced as a spinoff of Martha Stewart Living, which I love. And Domino- because it looked like the same type of magazine. Now I have to wait for 4-8 weeks or however long it takes, to remember which one I actually signed up for! I have a feeling that it was Domino. My question is this-- has anyone read more than one issue of either of these? What did you think of them? I am really tempted to order the other one as well, but I don't know if it is good or not. Maybe I should just buy and issue and see what I think-- anyway- feed back on these magazines would be much appreciated!

J.Crew Sale

I got these flats in the mail today. I know they are a little loud, but I am excited to wear them peeking out of my jeans with a cute sweater or tunic. I also got the french terry hoodie in kelley green. I really should be buying work clothes but I hate to spend $250 and walk away with such a small bag!
