Anthropologie Sale

I was browsing through the Anthropologie website last night and found a few fun items on sale that I wanted to share with you.

First, the Conduit Chains Necklace which is priced at a very reasonable $29.95. I think this necklace would look great with so many things and is at such a great price point!


Next, I found the Konnichiwa Sweater which is also pretty reasonably priced at $69.95. It comes in a few different colors and would be a really easy way to warm up any outfit.



And lastly, I found the Insouciant Tank, which is only $29.95! This also comes in a gorgeous yellow and a versitile ivory. Great on its own or with a cardigan over top.

Hudson at Costco!



I LOVE Hudson Jeans, and was so thrilled when I saw these at my local Costco yesterday. What are typically $187 jeans are under $105 at Costco right now. If you're in need of new bootcut denim, I suggest checking it out!

L.O.V.E.

It's not very often that an article of clothing makes my heart go pitter-patter. I tend to be kind of a plain-jane as far as clothing goes. I don't like to spend a lot of money on trendy items; I tend to dress in a more 'classic' way than trendy.


However. However......

I just saw this jacket on the Antropologie website and I think I'm in love. love love love. :)

Galison Cards

I was recently looking for some notecards to send out to clients. I went into our local pharmacy/gift shop (small town!) just as they were closing, and came across these lovely note cards by Galison.

I picked up a box of the Midnight Bloom cards...


and a box of the Dandelion cards.


These boxes come with 12 tri-fold cards and beautifully color coordinated envelopes, which are very cute on their own!

While looking at their website, I found a few more boxes I plan to get the next time I need cards.
Love these Origami Lane cards...


...and the Lucie Summers cards.
They are at a fabulous price point, and are great quality. I urge you to try them out next time you need some cards!

Salma Hayek + A Fall Look


I picked up the June 2010 issue of InStyle with Salma Hayek Pinault on the cover (partly for my husband, who worships the ground she walks on ;)) and just love this image. I love the way the sunlight is shining through the trees, the beautiful color of her gown, and the way it is complimented by the dark greenery behind her.

In honor of today being the first day of September, I thought I'd try to pull together some of the colors in an outfit that I might wear (because as much as I love it, I'm probably not going to be wearing her gorgeous gown anytime soon!), and to carry the color scheme into Fall.

Kind of hard to tell in this photo, but this cardigan is actually a deep purple (and only $49.90!), and think it would look great with either a white or grey cami.





I kind of like this necklace and think it might be fun with the above...


Or if you wanted a lighter look, this necklace from Anthropologie would look great too.






Pair it with some skinny jeans and flats and you've got a great fall look!

Truffles

A few weeks ago, Greg, Cameron and I, along with my parents and sister, traveled to Victoria, BC for my cousin's wedding.

We were staying just off the Inner Harbour in a great hotel called Parkside Victoria Resort and Spa. All six of us stayed in a suite that was really nice. Decorated nicely, and quite spacious for all of us. They had a great kitchen, a living room, two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a pull out couch. It was perfect. I'd highly recommend staying there if you ever have the chance.

The day of the wedding, we decided to take a walk down to the Inner Harbour and show Cameron the boats, as well as walk through a small street fair/farmers market that was going on. It was there that I found these delicous truffles. I'll be the first to admit that I'm not much of a chocolate lover...but dark chocolate truffles that melt in your mouth are my weakness.


The particular flavor that I fell in love with isn't on the Terrible Truffles website, but they do mention to call for custom orders. I purchased a dozen of the dark chocolate with sea salt...which, I promise, melt in your mouth and are to die for.
I'd also really like to like to try the Espresso flavor...don't they look wonderful?!

If you're looking for a sweet treat, check out Terrible Truffles. Enjoy!
