After glimpsing inside Holly Thomas of Refinery 29’s gorgeously cozy home, I couldn’t help but wish for an equally cold weather friendly abode.  Until then, I’ll settle for an outfit that incorporates all the same elements.. 




In the home Holly shares with her boyfriend, natural finishes play a prominent role (translate wood and leather into tortoiseshell accessories like this Fossil watch).  A classic palette of reds, whites, and blues is kept from feeling predictable with loads of playful vintage charm (pretty much everything from Lauren Moffatt sums this up, but the above look gets it particularly right).  And finally, I love that this home is unapologetically dark and masculine, without feeling uninviting (go for classic, borrowed from the boys loafers – these from Dolce Vita fit the bill).

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)
