Squeeworthy: 1618 Something Different

Antique shopping: something Miami is lacking. I see people get all these amazing pieces off the street and from specialty stores, but I can never find a similar (& affordable) option down here. I wish I could tell you this post is about a new local discovery (but I’m all ears to any suggestions), but instead it is a new not-so-local one. To only add fuel to my lusty fire, my friend Mallory (check out her amazing decor/lifestyle blog here) recently posted about her trip to Winter Park, FL to visit 1618, a fabulous retro/vintage furniture store.

As if her own amazing find wasn’t enough to incite some serious envy, she told me to check out their Picasa album that they update regularly with new arrivals. And I did. And I instantly regretted it. In a record 5 seconds, I managed to fall deeply in love with this Paul McCobb Modular Table. Do you think they take orders by phone? And then ship them? For no additional cost?

Am I asking for too much?
::sigh::

Lovable Friday!

1. Dino Bracelet

You would be seriously bringing it back to the old school with this dino bracelet found at Olive Shoppe. I hate when I fall in love with something on Pinterest, and then follow the link only to find that it is sold out (or ridiculously expensive); this bracelet fell under both categories. Bah humbug. Can’t somebody talented out there replicate this for me? I’ll make you cupcakes.

1. Stamp Rug

I really wish I could have more rugs in my home, but with 2 rowdy (& hairy) dogs, it’s always a bad idea. But something tells me that I would make an exception for this kick ass stamp rug emblazoned with the Queen’s likeness in bold, kicking colors. Maybe slapping one on the wall would be a better option. 😉

Backyard Project

Now that we have (nearly) finished our front yard project, it’s time to tackle our backyard! Yes, the work of a homeowner never ends. The backyard is something we will need to focus all our attention on, as it is the backdrop for my 30th birthday party this year. Aside from refinishing and fixing our pool, I want to add some decorative touches to make it a little more lively, and more “us.” For this reason, I put together a fun little mood board with some great items I am currently lusting over! I figured I would share it with you all since summer is quickly approaching and I’m sure I’m not the only one dreaming of long, sunny days lounging outside by my pool, right?

1. Chica Turquoise Wall Vase – $12.95
2. Aqua Folding Side Table – $21.95
3. Recycled Hello Pop Art – $34
4. Mesh Lantern – $24.95
5. Rubber Vase – $10.95

What are some of your favorite outdoor pieces this season?

Lovable Friday!

Happy April Fools Day!
Hope you haven’t gotten pranked on too many times, my loves!

1. Comic Headband

Calling all nerds, I have found your staple headpiece! How cute is this comic book headband? I personally think it’s the perfect accessory for all those Comic Con attendees. And if I play my cards right, I just might be one of those lucky geeks in attendance this year (again)! If so, I’ll be grabbing myself one or two for the road. 😉
