Seeing Spots

Zara Leopard Tunic, Citizens of Humanity Jeans, Coach Boots, Vintage Clutch, Handmade Necklaces, Anthropologie Flower Pin

Saturday was one of those gloomy days that was impossibly long and disappointingly unproductive.  See, we’ve been missing a place for guests to sit in our living room for quite some time.  Remember when we bought these and spruced them up?  On the other side of our coffee table there’s been a vacant space and dinner parties just don’t seem as dignified when my boyfriend and I are forced to sit cross-legged on the rug.  We had almost given up hope at finding the right piece that was both stylish and semi-affordable when we spotted a Louis XVI style settee at the flea market yesterday.  It couldn’t be more perfect and I think we may need to throw a party just because we can now seat more than five people at one time in our living room.

Great look! I love the shot with the mirror.

It is for reasons like the perfectly sunny weather, flea markets filled with gems and beautiful women running around in flea markets, that make theLA traffic and exorbitantly high real estate prices all totally bearable.

Cute outfit…and looks comfortable. The flower pin is a great touch.

Love the mirror shot.

Great “Carrie” look so SATC. I love it. I also have the same problem right now. My bf and I are actually getting a new couch today, but we have no chair for friends and family to sit in besides the kitchen table. We need something cute, small and affordable.

Love this outfit. What a great idea to pair it with that flower.
