Friday Finds

o I wanted to share with you all a few new things that I am loving right now, and what better time to share the love than on a Friday—the very best day of the week!

Stella and Dot. Stella and Dot is a home-based business that sells really cute jewelry! I had never heard of it until one of my friends from high school sent me an email saying she was selling jewelry on the side in addition to her “day job”—although skeptical (when you usually think home-based business you think Mary Kay or Tupperware), I checked it out and was pretty impressed by the stylish products they had to offer. I recently bought the Bloom Flower Necklace in Red for myself and the Torquoise Sea Drop Earrings for a friend’s birthday.



Aveeno Nourish +Moisturize Shampoo. Jason does not have your typical wash and go guy hair—he has REALLY curly hair which, despite being kept pretty short, requires a little more management.  As a result, he is actually sort of picky about the type of shampoo he uses. Given that we tend to use a lot of Aveeno products (bath wash, face exfoliator), Jason was pretty proud of himself when he came home from Target a few weeks ago with a new line of shampoo from Aveeno. I had also run out of my (fancy salon) shampoo and decided to give it a try until I had time to go the mall and refill. In the first week I used it, I got two separate compliments on how nice my hair looked!  I’ve definitely noticed that it leaves my hair feeling softer and a little less frizzy. This might be my new favorite shampoo.


Crate and Barrel Loire Plates in Green. Last weekend Jason and I went to Crate and Barrel to pick up a new pizza stone (we received one as a wedding gift only to have it crack into several pieces after using it a grand total of twice--we're hoping to have better luck with the new one) and I came across these really cute springy plates. I was instantly in love but decided that I would have to hold off until I have more kitchen storage space...or they go further on sale, whichever comes first! They are really cute, I think....I've been thinking about them all week.

What finds are peaking your interest this week?

Latest Find: Lands End Canvas

Lately there have been several new(ish) lines of clothing/accessories/housewares making the rounds in the blog world, including Lands End Canvas. You’ve heard of Lands End, right? I always viewed it in the same lens as L.L.Bean, chock full of boring mom clothes (turtlenecks, baggy chinos, and duck shoes), minus the sporting goods. But they’ve recently started their Canvas line which has a much younger look and feel.  After reading rave reviews from a fellow blogger with some serious style, I decided to give it a whirl.




So far, I like what I see.  LEC definitely has vibe similar to J.Crew (which just so happens to be one of my favorite stores) but at half the price. I ordered their Heritage cardigan in Coral Blush and am officially on board.



And at $39.50 (compared to the $62 for J.Crew’s version), it won’t break the bank either and I am definitely a fan of that!
