La Poule Rousse

One of my favorite little shops we found in France this summer was La Poule Rousse. It is this adorable little shop in Villefranche and the owner, Pascal, is precious. She sells everything from towels, throws & blankets, baby bath towels, robes & bibs to makeup bags and beach totes. They are all made from this extremely soft material which absorbs more and more water each time it gets wet. 

 They come in a ton of different colors and patterns! 

This is one of the ones that I bought:

 I highly recommend giving as gifts. Hope to shop there in person someday soon!

Be Your Own Designer

A girlfriend of mine told me about this awesome store in Chicago called 1154 Lill. It's a shop full of wall to wall fabrics that you can select to design your own bag. The fabrics are lovely and really fun! 

But if you are not going to be in Chicago anytime soon, you can also design a bag online. Here are a few that I played with:

Happy designing!! 

One Kings Lane

For those of you who have not yet visited this site, it is worth a look: click here. Similar to Rue La La and several other discount online shopping site, this site is for things for the home. Through Saturday, Random House is having a sale of design and coffee table books. I took this opportunity to buy a few for myself in hopes to further my education in home design and decor.

All these beautiful coffee table books are hardcover and between $20-$40. I know my coffee table is certainly in need of a little love. Not a bad price! Don't forget that Mother's Day is just around the corner...
