White Garden Stool

I got my One Kings Lane e-mail this morning on their current sales and saw this darling little white garden stool which normally retails for $250 on sale for $129...

I then realized it looks nearly identical to the White Lili Punched Drum Stool from World Market which retails for only $59.99...

I've got to say that I would definitely go for the World Market version - and to boot, I actually like it a little more than the one from One Kings Lane!  Plus the price isn't too bad either ;)

Which one would you choose?

Skimp or Splurge: Kate Spade

My favorite article of clothing is a Kate Spade dress that I splurged on while in San Francisco

last year.  I actually did my very first blog post on that dress.  Ever since I got my hands on

that dress I have been head over heels for all things Kate Spade - but since her products

aren't my bank account's favorite I thought I would do a skimp or splurge on a KS outfit!

The Splurge:

Solid Lola Dress - $325

Karolina Pumps - $298

Shimmer Triple Chain Necklace -$195

Dot To Dot Stud Earrings - $45

Total = $863

The Skimp:

1. Zara Tulip Skirt Dress - $89.90

2. Modcloth Highlight-her Necklace - $23.99

3. Anthropologie Thor Earrings - $24

4. Casselini Ribbon Buckle Belt - $27.60

5. Forever 21 Patent Leatherette Pumps - $16.80

Total = $182.29

Savings = $680.71

Which one would you choose?  Is this something you would wear?

Have a happy Monday! :)

Splurge or Skimp: Charlize Theron style

I received such positive feedback with last week's Splurge or Skimp

Are there any styles you'd like to see me pull off on a budget??

Maybe you have a special occasion or event coming up?

Let me know!

I love hearing from y'all!
