To Bed I Said.

I am a slacker. I will admit this here and now. A few (ok many) months ago I redecorated my bedroom and never posted pictures of it like people had asked me too. I spent probably no more then $2,500 on the whole thing, which is actually quite amazing when you think about it. I knew I wanted Purplish-Greyish walls and Grey bedding, as well as a fabric headboard. From those requirements it snowballed into this. I'm still not finished with it, but It looks pretty good for being almost complete.  Here is a rough estimate of everything and where it came from.

Brocade Home Crushed Velvet Headboard and Draperies: $210 (The company donated the items to a local Habitat For Humanity Store. Jackpot)
Target Coverlet, Shams, Pillows and 500 Thread Count Sheets: $225 (The Sheets feel the same as the $300 Restoration Hardware Ones I almost got. The only thing, These are Made in Asia, Restoration's are made in Italy.)
West Elm Night Stands, Shelves and Dresser: $1,699 (Investment pieces. I put it on a West Elm Credit Card that had no interest no payments for a year and got $125 gift card in return.)
Moroccan Lanterns: Free (From one of the many Charity Ball's thrown in Nashville. I snagged them For free back in high school (7 years ago) and my stepfather wired them. *Fun Fact: Tommy Lee has the same ones if you ever saw MTV Cribs)
Target Table Lamp Bases and Restoration Hardware Shades: $90
Various Mirrors: Free (I painted them silver, they had all previously came from stores like TJ Maxx)
Paint: $35
Accessories: $30
Total: $2,289

There's a window to the left as well, I just couldn't fit it in one Picture.

Paper or Plastic?

So I'm back from vacation and decided to take a trek out to Target to finally see the Loomstate Collection.  I didn't snag anything, maybe because I took so long getting there, but I did finally find a bag for my laptop.  I got a  17" Apple Macbook Pro for Christmas and have had the hardest time finding a cute, stylish bag to hold my computer.  If anyone has this computer, you have probably been in the same situation I am.  Its no fun.  Anywhore, behold my new bag:

I love love love all these designer collaborations. And I love that Target keeps expanding the collections to other items besides clothes.  If only Marc or Zac Posen could do one. Imagine Zac Posen for Target Evening Wear.  I think I would die, I just don't know if that would be a good thing or a bad thing.

Here's a horrible/hilarious picture of me taken when I went to Amishland aka Lancaster, PA. Yes I am wearing a bonnet and I'm drinking a vodka cranberry in a Strawberry Shortcake Sippie Cup. I think to most "City Folk" the amish fascinates us, err or at least me anyway. I can't get enough of it.

This Morning I decided to take a trip to Target to check out the new McQueen collection.  Sadly my Target only carried the ugly stuff.  I did however find a fabulous grey tiered linen skirt.  The picture featured on the website doesn't make it look that cute but in real life it is to die for.  I wore it today at work and within the first hour I had received a ton of compliments.  Everyone was shocked when I told them it was from Target and under $25.   I decided to wear it as a high waisted skirt with black tights, a black t-shirt, cardigan and ballet flats.
