Victory is Mine.

So for weeks, I've been looking at rugs for our place. A good wood floor deserves a fancy outfit. New to the rug world, if there is such a thing, I soon discovered that higher-end and designer rugs can set you back several thousand. Since that's not happening, I've been aggressive about finding the right one at the right price like a heat-seeking missile. Or a rug-seeking missle. After discovering this weekend that my dude-friends are stepping it up in the home decor arena, and very nicely so I might add, I put my foot down (in my head) and said (also, in my head) "Enough--these rug-procrastination shenanigans must end"...in other words, I told myself to look at Crate and Barrel on my lunch break.

HOWEVER as luck would have it, I'm happy to announce (because you all care) that I scored our new rug this morning from a One King's Lane sale...absolutely in love! I got the sale email while I was brushing my teeth and it was ON--I was not letting this one get away. This one sold out by 9am so I feel pretty vindicated for locking it down.

I felt like a turtle with a strawberry. Rug down, wall to go...

In-between posts post

I have lots to write about--
the beautiful South, weddings, new design obsessions, and some fantastic pictures of my dog.
All coming soon!

For now, I just had to share that I'm wearing the world's most comfortable pants that can possibly pass as work attire. Softer and more appropriate than leggings, and perfect with everything from heels to boots to flats, I present to you the Slouchy Pant:

After my early gym session, these were perfect to wear at the coffee shop while I studied, then on to work, errands, and a meeting. Because while my button-down says business on top, my slouchy pants say "it's party/naptime." Brilliant.
