{Matteo Bedding}

There is a fabulous home store in Encinitas called Gardenology, where I discovered bedding from Matteo a few months ago - I've been in love ever since. With two dogs, it's hard to rationalize spending a lot on bedding, but I dream about the amazing linen and ruffle combination of the Tat collection.

And isn't that platform bed amazing?

{I'm loving...}

This DVF jacket. I've seen it a few times around, including I believe twice on Whitney Port from The City - I'm not sure what it is that I love so much, but for some reason, I just love it. The price, not so much. I think this one will remain sadly at its home on the internet...

{I Smile...}

every time I walk into my bathroom and see this:


I finally broke down and bought this shower curtain after the holidays from Anthropologie (with a lovely gift card from my mom-in-law!) after coveting it for nearly a year. It might be one of the best purchases I've made in months...

The company that makes the shower curtain is called India Rose, and I recently came across these bags:


Y'all know I love a good ruffle, so when I then came across this bedding, which is the same line as the shower curtain, I almost fell out of my chair! I think the hubs might draw the line at ruffled bedding, though...

{Hiliarious Video}

I came across this video on another blog I read and nearly fell out of my chair laughing - it's way too funny not to watch!

{Banana Republic Satin-Trim V-Neck Top}

I haven't spent much time in Banana Republic recently, but had a gift card so I headed in this weekend while at the mall. I used to really love Banana, but over the past year or so, I feel like the same looks are recycled season after season, and not necessarily in a good way.

Occasionally, though, I'll find good basic tanks at Banana. I have a bunch of basic tanks in basic colors, but recently have been wanting to get something that isn't quite as casual as a basic white tank. While I was there I came across the Satin-Trim V-Neck Top, which is a cotton v-neck tank that has about an inch-thick satin trim along the neckline. Plus, it was on sale! I don't have any photos of me in it yet, but I found it to fit TTS and be really flattering. The v-neckline elongates and it had a slim fit. They also had it in black and a medium grey, so I bought both of those as well.
