I’ve been spending some time thinking about how I want to develop this little blog and what I’d like to really focus on.  When I think about the features that I favor on other blogs, one that I kept coming back to was a “look for less” type series.  Which brings us to Cheap Monday (a phrase for having spent all your money over the weekend, made popular by the Swedish brand of the same name – more so fitting because I oddly get my paychecks every Tuesday, leaving me pinching pennies on Mondays).  So each week I’ll pick one home goods item (nest), one fashion item (dressed), and one fun miscellaneous item (the rest), each of which ring in at under $50.  Cheap never looked so good.

(1. Martha Stewart for Home Depot mirror – high impact for an entryway)
(2. LC Laura Conrad dress – holiday cocktails, brunch, meeting the parents, I could go on)
(3. Leif Salad Serving set – seriously the most fun hostess gift)
