New Fun Stuff … On Sale
I am always hunting for a good deal, and I found a one-stop website that does some of the hunting for me. Check out StyleNotes a website that posts daily bargains for womens clothing, footwear, accessories, and more fun stuff.
Right on the home page they have hot deals which are updated daily. Today there is a link to shoe deals on Amazon for as little as $18. One of the posted pairs is this cute pair of Nine West Mary Janes for only $26.69.
Then they actually have a link today for bomber jackets at Tilly’s for $8! They are actually pretty cute jackets too (available in white and black). Too bad I live in Florida and I wear a jacket maybe once a year.
Important: The following is the best part of the StyleNotes website. I have been looking for a site that can do this for a while. If you go to her alerts page you can add your email and receive alerts every time a deal or coupon is posted for the stores you love. Just choose from one of the hundreds of stores on the list. I am always seeing something I like and just waiting for a coupon to arrive. Now if a site could just watch and item for me and tell me when it is on sale I would be in heaven!

A Zen Work Room … hmmm
I have decided that down the line my office needs a revamping. Sure everything is neat and organized but it just isn’t an inviting place to do work. In fact, I am in my living room right now. Pretty soon I will be launching new little business and I will be needing to spend much more time in there. But I am not ready to let you in on that little secret yet. I think that I could achieve my desirable, zen office with a few little tweaks. The key is to have a clean look. I would love to have a matching office, mostly white with just a few splashes of bright color.
I saw these really beautiful home office ideas in HometoHome. I think these are so successful because the colors are mostly neutral.
Everything in the room is color coordinated. Simple, with all the clutter packed away.
You can check out other great home office ideas under HomeToHome’s Room Inspiration tab. I have already started picking out some monochromatic desk accessories for my new home office.
A couple of choices for lighting …
Stern Table Lamp, $39.99, Target
Flagger Table Lamp, $19.99, Target
Color Coordinated Pencils… I will probably go with the white or chocolate… $7, SeeJaneWork
Punctuate Desktop Accessories, $6.99 - $9.99, ContainerStore
Bauble magnets, $11.95, wrapables
See and Store Magnetic Containers, $1.99, ContainerStore
For my notes … Posy Desktop Photo & Memo Holder by Umbra, $10.99, ContainerStore
White Boxes (that I know I can get cheaper at Ikea but this is what they will look like), $10.50, SeeJaneWork
Now I just have to figure out everything else…
