this look for less: chevron square floor pouf

Well, it's about time that I posted another "this look for less" find...right?  I totally love floor poufs...they come in handy for extra seating or just pure decoration.  I have blogged about poufs before (you can read it here).  I have been eyeing this Zig Zag Floor Pouf from West Elm for awhile now.  Isn't it a beauty?  This WE version will run you $249.

Instead, you can "this look for less" with a similar zig zag floor pouf from Etsy for only $125!  What a great deal, huh?  Are you a fan of floor poufs?  Where would you place them in your home?


Here is one my favorite images incorporating the square floor pouf...

happy friday + minty fresh

My absolute favorite color is green and mint is no exception.  These days, I am totally in love with mint everything, from fashion to decor!  Mint also seems to be the front runner in the whole pastel trend.   Have you incorporated mint into your life?

Here are some of my favorite minty fresh items at the moment.

Anthropologie watch
TopShop dress
Guess wedges
Etsy love print
Anthropologie bowl

 Happy Friday!  Any big plans this weekend?

a good deed at starbucks

If I had to say I was addicted to something, it would be coffee.  However, I'm not your usual morning coffee drinker.  I have my cup of coffee around 2 or 3pm as that is when I start dwindling at work.  I also enjoy a good cup of coffee after dinner (I can drink coffee late at night and still fall asleep pretty quickly).  I'm not even sure if the caffeine really keeps me awake or whether I just need to have that familiar cup of coffee next to me.  Do you ever feel like that...like it's all in your head?

Anyway, I was exhausted yesterday morning so I stopped at a drive-through Starbucks on my way to work.  I ordered my usual tall; non-fat; 1 splenda; latte (add "extra-hot" in the winter).  It must have been my lucky day because when I got up to the window to pay, the lady told me that the woman in front of me paid for my drink!  Isn't that so nice?  I tried to pull up next to her to say thank you but she didn't look over.  So, thank you to the random lady you paid for my latte yesterday morning!  I shall return the favor to the person behind me next time.

So, are you a coffee drinker?  Do you have a "usual" drink from Starbucks?  I'd love to hear from you!
