2 Sets of Sculptural Block Wall Shelves in Chocolate/Espresso from West Elm. $RETAIL. I really like the quality of these shelves, despite the bad reviews I've read about West Elm. Simply solid block shelving that could be rearranged in different ways. It was a pain to align each 3 pc set the same on both sides of the livingroom. I plan on adding artistic vases but TJ likes it as is. We'll see!


Vintage Bloomingdale's Candystriped Top from Vintage Doll. $STEAL@RETAIL. My dear friend Cat opened up her one of a kind vintage store back in August and I'd like to congratulate her once again. I instantly bought this top from her and a couple weeks later, it was featured in her article on Style Chronicles! Great taste Sonja. *wink* This Bloomie's top is a lot higher quality than I thought it would be, with single needle tailoring by Mr. Witt in Plaza II.


Vintage Bead Disc Necklace from Vintage Doll. $STEAL@RETAIL. Another piece I had to instantly snag from Cat. I needed a unique white long beaded necklace for some of my outfits and this totally fit the part. I do strongly suggest with any vintage necklace, that it's doused in jewelry cleaner at least 2-3 times before first wear (being how anal I am, yes).


Geometric Triptych Wall Art in Chocolate/Espresso from West Elm. $RETAIL. As I was saying about the bad reviews, with this, the reviews are right! The color was supposed to be solid espresso as pictured, but it came as a dark chocolate with 3 streaks on each piece. WTF? And no screws. WTF, again? I'll be painting this later on to the correct color. Besides that, it was EXACTLY what I was looking for. Square wood art in 3-4 pieces.

Sferra Bros. Hemstitched Linens: 90" Round Table Cloth, 54" Square Table Cloth, Chair Pads, and Place Mats from Neiman Marcus. $SALE. What I like about this is that it could be used as casual or formal table linens. This, my friends, is my all-the-damn-time table linens. Hence the placemats for the messy babies, i.e. Gemma and TJ, that could be easily handwashed. This ensemble totally takes away the ugliness/traditional look of our dining set. -=D


Dransfield and Ross Rustic Place Mats from Neiman Marcus. $SALE. Very very very nice quality for place mats. Instead of a centerpiece, I opted for formal place mats. Worked as a double whammy as decor AND hot plates. They came much bigger than expected so it worked out for the best.


NuBra from eBay. $SUPERSALE. Yeah baby. You know it. Yeah... I'm talking to you Chrissie. LOLLL! 3rd one since Spring. That speaks a lot for it from me! I'm addicted to NuBra.


2 x Wheat Sheaf Bouquets from The Source Perrier. $RETAIL. These totally caught my eye when I saw it in their magazine. It was different from the usual flower bouquets or arrangements that people would usually have around their house. Wheat bouquets are an ancient symbol of Wealth. Interesting! Then TJ calls it "walis", which means a handheld broom. LOLLL!


Hanky Panky Low Rise Thong from Shop Tangerine. $SALE. Yeah I really didn't know what everyone's deal was with these Hanky Pankys but I had to try them for myself when I had an assisted buy for them. They really are super low rise and I love 'em!


White Barn Candle Co. Wallflowers Starter Kits in Blackberry and Moonlight Path from Bath and Body Works. $GIFT. Lorac Lip Polish in Groovy Fruit, Eyelash Curler/Comb Duo, and Mini Clear Brush Set from Sephora. $GIFT. I had to had to had to post these even though they're small gifts. These are from 2 of the sweetest Jessica Style girls. Sephora stuff from my Secret Jessica, Christie/i<3jessica. We both think alike. I added something to her list and she added something to mine! Wallflowers from my Ateh Jean/daydreamer as a Thank You. Ironically, I did need really nice air fresheners and these are perfect for the place!
