Crap - I love these Sconces

Restoration Hardware is all the rage...if you want your house looking like a movie set!!! Let's see....

Obese shiny Trunk, ridiculously large lamp, huge plane, massive clock..check, check, check, check.

Come on guys...yes, the rest of the Catalog is sensational but what is this.....The Aviator Home Edition? If it comes with a Leo DiCaprio I would inform you that you are 10 years too late.

Unfortunately for me I did LOVE these. I have been searching for sconces for my Dining Room and these are exactly what we need. Sh*t.

Loire Architectural Railing Sconce $289/each.

Yes, a little hefty but I LOVE them. When do you think Pottery Barn/Home Decorators Collection/CB2 will come out with a knock off? Hmm, maybe I like the Lorraine better?

Sweet dreams

*Pretend* Retail Therapy

The wicked week of the west has continued and my remedy is shiny shopping bags filled with gorgeous items. You know what I mean. The pretty bags you fold and reuse because they are from the fanciest of fancy stores. Here are the items I would purchase if Daddy Warbucks let me borrow his charge card for a weekend.

Lucchese Boots from Zappos $299. I want to wear these ALL Fall. My Faux Frye boots might fall apart and these would look so cute with a sweater dress, right?

Roberta Roller Rabbit Lounge Set. $85.00. Just give me a cigar and an Old Fashioned.

Longchamp Le Pliage Medium $125. My nice black MK bag is going to fall apart. I bet this little shoulder bag could hold 10 mini bottles AND my Canon Rebel.

Antique Wheat Sconce, Mecox $850. I need sconces in my Dining Room. LOVE these. Any other suggestions that are 1/10 of the price?

Barbour Defence Jacket - $?. I fell in love with a blue one last year for only $299. Expensive yes, but these jackets are the best. The fact that they are becoming trendy makes me want to vomit.

Audubon Blue Heron-Z Gallerie $99. I want this SO bad. I didn't even want to post it b/c one of you might go buy it and I'll be left out in the cold. OR maybe a mysterious admirer wants to order it for me?? Hmmm??? I would order this and the pink one and be happy all September.

Lands End Cowlneck Dress $59.50. To wear with above boots and Barbour Jacket to a Football Game. Or in my Living Room lounging under the Blue Heron holding a cocktail posing for my photoshoot in Garden & Gun.

3 year old Target Wallet = justification for new one. Kate Spade Jane St. Remy $195. And what will I carry around Warbucks' credit card in anyways?

Leontine Linens. Enough said. I'm 30, I need nice linens.

I'm headed to the Market to fill the house with flowers for arriving guests. At least that can happen.

Doberge Cake. My favorite is chocolate but I wouldn't kick a Caramel out of bed.

Studded Bow Ballet Flats from Gap. $49.50. Two Ellie said Gap has great flats this year and I trust her style, have you seen her blog? She has adorable taste.

Nest Bamboo Candle. One of my absolute favorites (CZ Guest was the best and of course it is gone forever)

Neiman's $32.00

Remaining Lilies Cardigan - Anthropologie $128. Paired with skinny jeans, boots, & sleek ponytail? Hello Fall! I'll look just like Betty Draper coming home from Riding practice.

There is plenty more but I didn't want to overwhelm your gift lists for me. Happy Friday. xoxo

Loving Pomegranate

My sister-in-law is from Winchester, KY...home of the best ginger-ale ever! While lounging on the beach recently she asked me if I had heard of Pomegranate.

From their website:

"Angela, with her five children and husband Antony, spends her time enjoying the rolling green hills and white fences of Lexington, KY and the picturesque beaches of Harbor Island, Bahamas. Life on the farm and retreats to the beach provide Angela with a unique vantage point for observing flora and fauna. Pomegranate’s bold color, graphic prints and ethic influences come from Angela’s love of nature, traveling and spending time with her family".

Ummm, Angela-My sis-in-law and I would LOVE to come to the Bahamas! I'll host 4 trunk shows in Charlotte for the trip!

Their table linens are absolutely stunning and so reasonable!!!! Makes me wish I had registered for white plates instead of my patterned everyday and my Juliska blue...but wait...wouldn't the blue look great with the Azure tablecloth?

Greek Key Yellow Napkins (set 4) $32, Turtle Twin Quilt $90, Ikat Ochre Tea Towels (2) $14, Azure Tablecloth $32-$60

Middle Row:
Ikat Lake Tea Towels (2) $14, Peacock Stamp Napkins (4) $24, Greek Key Yellow Hand towels (set 2) $24

Dash through Sleepy Poet

I honestly have no idea why I'm so busy but somehow I never have time to piddle. I don't have babies, I'm not in the Junior League, and we still have two months before Football season. So when I had an hour to myself a few Sundays ago I dashed through Sleepy Poet Antique Mall to see what goodies I could unearth. Below I have listed the items I would like to receive as presents for being so busy and unimportant. (Please excuse horrible iphone photos)

You can never have enough Sisal or Seagrass in the house. SP has tons at amazeballs prices.

This clock doesn't even work but I want it. Maybe if I ever have kids I can hang it in the nursery so the kid becomes just as OCD Type A as myself. NOOOO WIRE HANGERS!!!

Cute in Beach powder room? Oh wait, I don't have a Beach House? Fail.

Anybody having babies in NC? This would be really cute in a Kids room.

These are all the rage.

How awesome would this be in my house? Our last name = Fox in German.

Annoyed I haven't bought these! I've seen them popping up on blogs all over the blogosphere. Very Mad Men right?

This is now gone. I cried....real alligator tears. Wouldn't this make an adorable changing table?

Check, Check, and Check. Do I need you? No, but I would like you oh so very much.

Oh SNAP. Is that an Hermes tray????

And last but not least, this gem. I would park him in my Mud Room and make my working-from-home husband place a cocktail on the little shelf to greet me every night when I get home from work. Very tacky, but completely hospitable.
