shoes for thought

I spotted my extremely stylin friend gracefully stepping out with the most beautiful pieces of artwork on her feet. I explained to her that the second I laid eyes on that sugary sparkle mix of pinks and creams, it was as though I was stepping into a whole new world of glittery-goodness (well, I didn't explain it exactly like that, but pretty close!)




Almost too pretty to wear, Miu Miu Perla Sequin Platform Pumps are show stoppers (my friend's pumps were platformless and equally gorgeous). These shoes truly are a piece of art - and a design inspiration as well.


For those who love the eclectic look in their home - a bit of this, a touch of that - a glittery Hollywood glam piece could really do a room justice. Throw pillows are a great way to update a room without breaking the bank. I found this one today at overstock.com. The Carol Basket Weave Pillow retails for about $66. Woven in Metallic leather - I love that it's not too over the top, yet still very elegant.


I also love Jane Seymour's Mirrored Gemstone Pillow. Retails for $50. Very elegant and I love the texture! overstock.com



Check out the Sheesha Pillow (a la Olivia Palermo) at Jayson Home and Garden. Retails from $205-$345. Very clean lines and modern with a touch of glam - very pretty (and pricey!) jaysonhomeandgarden.com

gotta love these chairs!

Some moms prefer flowers or perfume or some expensive jewelry for mother's day.... but how about a chair or two?


I happen to love the look of acrylic furniture when paired correctly with traditional, rustic, and even some contemporary pieces. Use the Acrylic Folding Chair as your kitchen chairs around a square or rectangular table (something with corners), or fold em, stack em, or store em when you have guests! They are fabulous either way. They are a bit pricey for a folding chair - $125 for a set of two (+ Overstock's $2.95 shipping), but after reading tons of reviews they seem well worth it. This particular chair was found on numerous sites but overstock.com seemed to have them the cheapest, and their customer service is superb!
