Don the 'Ron: Chevron Spans the Market

Earlier this week I was browsing Nordstrom's Anniversary sale and spoiler alert, way too many things are way too amazing.  At least with such huge discounts they're slightly more attainable.  Why I do this when I've already announced my credit card is on retreat I'll never know. Glutton for punishment, maybe?  But I digress... I came across this dress:

Look familiar?  As soon as I spotted it I knew I had seen the likes of it before...

That's right, Target shoppers!  They carry a duvet version of that couture dress in stores near you for a very affordable price.  Soak in the bliss...  Chevron is very in right now, as are teal and grey, so naturally this duvet stood out to me when I spotted it in the home aisle a few weeks back.

I considered using this chevron home line in Squeaks' apartment for about a mili-second before I realized it wasn't at all the look he goes for and is a little too young for him.  But when I saw that dress it took even more self control not to snag it, especially at a sale price of only $50!  And what do I do when I pass on owning beautiful things?  I blog about them so I can share them with you so you can own them and so I can  look back and remember them.

So whether you're a Target shopper or a Nordstrom shopper (or both), you can don the 'ron!

Which is your favorite, dressing or bedding?  Are you running to purchase one?
(P.S. Both is a totally acceptable answer!)

Barneys Sale Wishlist

Barneys New York is having a super sale right now with some designer labels up to 75% off!  While I'm forcing my credit card to take a little hiatus at the moment, it doesn't hurt to do a little browsing...  So here are a few of the things I'm pining over.

{I apologize for the weird white lining around the photos!  That's how they come out when you borrow them from the Barney's site.}

1.  Barneys New York Co-Op, Mustard Anastasia Flat $99

I'm a sucker for cute flats.  I fully admit it.  These are an obvious choice with that fab yellow color and the cut out side to let your feet breathe.  Summer necessity I'd say.

2.  Kim Seybert, Capiz Placemat $27

A few of these sprinkled on my dining room table would be the perfect pop of turquois, don't you think?  Right now it has a bowl of blue potpourri and lots of junk mail.  I'm officially ashamed.

3.  A.L.C., Jasper Pant $259

Pipe seamed and green... Maximum squeak alert!

4.  Citizens of Humanity, Elson-Lunar $79

These jeans look hella flattery, not to mention super comfy.  I always go for the dark jean so I can look sleek and slim!

5.  Mary Katrantzou, Coral Twist Print Dress $559

I had to throw this one in just for fun.  Tell me that dress doesn't scream 'fun in the summer sun' to you.  Those vibrant colors are to die for.  Oh, and that reminds me, I need to take a trip to the aquarium...

What do you think of my choices?  What would you get?

Coupon Divas has paired with Discount Mags to bring Architectural Digest to you for $7.99.  No, not per issue... For 2 years subscription! That's 33 cents per magazine people.  Obviously I am all over that deal! I just placed my order this morning so I can't make any promises to you, but since I had never heard of either of these I did a little digging and Discount Mags has actually gotten pretty stellar reviews so I followed the directions and added yet another magazine to my list of receivables. Cause you know, I really need a fifth magazine subscription.  What can I say, this girl loves her mags. So here's the link, enjoy!  http://bit.ly/NuPxrM
