It Pays To Shop Around


Do you ever find something that you really, really want and it doesn't matter how much it costs?  You are determined to have it.  You muuust have it.  How can you possibly live without it? 


I'm with you.  That happened to me today. 
And yesterday.  And the day before. 


In fact it happens to me so frequently that if I actually purchased every "must have", I'd  be flat out broke!

I've learned that it pays to shop around. 

Case in point.  Check these out.  Great decor items...and their less expensive counter parts.  See if you can tell the difference!


The Eero Saarinen Table $1500-2000


The Ikea Docksta $179


Lilly Pulitzer Heiress Stool $850




White Elephant Garden Seat $199

West Elm Zig Zag Floor Pouf $249

Jonathan Adler Alphabet Pillow $110

Anitanirma $29.50

Now, take all of that money you've saved and
Go buy yourself something fabulous!

Jonathon Adler rocks! I can't believe those other pillows aren't from him because they look identical.
