One of the things I’m loving about Chicago is the fact that I can walk down the same street a million and see new things every time.
James Perse Sample Sale Happens this Weekend.
Oh the comfy tees and such to be had…

Tibi Silk-Crepe Racerback Cami. Comes in several colors.
At $160, this is obviously pricey for a simple tank top. But can you imagine anything you’d wear more?
Why is it always the most difficult to find the simplest items???

This is perhaps the perfect gift for, well, anyone.
Classic color and shape with interesting colored side panels.
Love.

Decorating is hard.
Like, really hard. Fun, but honestly, something I know nothing about.
Luckily, most of Chip’s stuff goes pretty well with mine (aside from a few boy items, like posters of rappers…and why don’t boys use duvet covers???), but it’s been a bit challenging to pick out new stuff that we both really like. Our apartment is small, so every single decor item is noticeable.
For some reason, we are having the most difficulty with lamps. I think we are both liking the idea of a colored glass lamp base with a simple, neutral shade, like this one. That said, I am not looking to spend $195 on one lamp, especially when we need two.
Does anyone have any great home decor websites, stores, etc. that you think we should look into?
Suggestions would be much appreciated!
#1 on my Christmas List (well, other than a job and Alabama national title): a classic wool coat in a slightly interesting cut and color.

With a high of 43 degrees and wind so strong that it sounds like distant thunder, I am officially attracted to anything described as “oversized” and “warm”, like this amazingly cuddly looking sweater.
