In Her Home: Nursery Crib Options

I have two different inspiration boards set up as I try to decide what direction I'm going with the nursery. One is based around a set of colorful 1930's prints that I bought several years ago at a flea market. 

I've been looking for a small black crib with modern lines but having a hard time finding a lot that I love. My favorite crib so far has been the Sebra Kili crib, but good luck trying to get one into the US. At least my google skills have failed me in that department. 

Another on my list has been the very simple Ikea Sniglar crib. I like that it is simple, inexpensive, and you have views from the baby from every side. 

My sister mentioned Walmart cribs to me and I was surprised to find one that I liked a lot. The Modena isn't black, but grey is my favorite color. However, it would change how I was going to decorate the baby's room with the vintage prints.

My next hurdle is to find a rug and some shelving!

J.Crew Fall 2013 New Arrivals + Early Purchase

 

Thanks to a what appears to be a kickboxer residing in my stomach, I was cruising the internet when J.Crew's New arrivals popped up early this morning. I was wide awake after a couple of minutes, saying "oh, that's good" with every other click. Lots of minimalist 90's going on there, and I like it.

I burned rubber going to the store on my lunch break once I found out the Merino Leather Pocket Sweater had just been put out on the floor. I was expecting it to be lightweight but it is a substantial, tight knit. I ended up bringing that home, though it will be weeks before it's cool enough to wear it (not to mention that certain protruding stomach). I've got my eye on that Fluted Skirt in Double Crepe in ivory as well.

They didn't have the intriguing Patch Pocket Pencil Skirt in yet, but I love it paired with the super luxe Collection Double Faced Cashmere Tee. 

I would probably destroy the white Leather Front Top in about two seconds, but it doesn't stop me from lusting after it anyway. 

I'm still craving a pair of silver shoes, and the Strappy Mirror Metallic Pumps look about perfect.

 

 

 

Stylish Girl: Daisy Lowe in Pretty Grunge

It seems every fashion season there is a claim to the return of grunge with various riffs on the design. The pretty/tough version is my favorite, like what Miss Daisy Lowe is wearing above.

Wanting: Black Circle Skirt

These drop waist, flared skirts popping up everywhere will make dressing easy come fall. I have my eye on the Magra Swing skirt at Anthropologie and the Fluted Skirt in Double Crepe from J.Crew.
