Window Shopping Wednesday

Since we live in a 1 bedroom condo I have hourly daily dreams of what our house will one day be like, how we will decorate it and how Ant will finally have a "Man Room" to keep all his crap in! As I read blogs like Young House Love I am amazed and crazy jealous of all the clever and amazing ways they turned an old house into their beautiful home. I would take their house in a heartbeat..its so perfectly painted, decorated and furnished. Its just my size-not too big and not too small..and even has my oh-so-desired sun room & back yard! My only problem with this dream home is the kitchen...its so beautiful but I have amazing dreams of a nice big kitchen. One where our friends and family would gather and laugh and eat and talk about how I amazing I am our house is...::sigh::

 Anyway, while looking at these pictures I started questioning what style I will go with when we do have a house. I love woods but I seem to be drawn to white because of the crisp, clean feeling.

Here are some that caught my eye...thoughts?

The middle one is a little too low..I prefer higher beds. I love how the last one has storage drawers..I love storage! I really haven't looked much other than at Crate and Barrel and Pottery Barn but I am going to start obsessing I think. Any suggestions?

While at the mall today my bff4eae (yup..that just happened) showed me these little beauties in Soma:

They are completely stay-put...and not just say they stay put while they give you your annual pap-they actually stay put. I cannot wait to get some! 

(however, they are about $14 and I have a hard time spending that much on underwear..but they do have a buy 3 get 2 free deal going on right now so check it out. They also have some super cute tops.)

Aside from beds and underwear 

(wow, Im a real wild woman!)

I want this bad boy SO BADLY 

(hopefully we'll get it in the next few months.)

Euro-Pro® Shark® Steam Pocket™ Mop

 It even has attachments that clean the carpet!!

And finally...something I actually purchased:

You have to go look at the pictures for yourself because it is fabulous! I have never bought a dress like this (form fitting) but it actually made me look thinner so I am all over that! I have a wedding in Sept and I'm gunna be hoooooooooooooot! (as long as Spanx are involved)

Window Shopping Wednesday

I saw WSW on a few other blogs and decided it would be perfect for me since I have the problem of yearning for things we either don't have room for, can't afford or things that we have no use for whatsoever (for example: complete outdoor furniture sets...not too useful when living in a 1 bedroom condo).

Other than drooling over things I want but, for the aforementioned reasons, don't have I will also be sharing any recent purchases that I feel are blog-worthy. So lets go shopping!!
 

Oh super deep, comfy cozy lounge sectional (in pewter to be exact) how I love you so! While torturing myself browsing in Crate and Barrel one day I decided to sit on this delicious looking couch. I had no idea that this simple act would start an unhealthy obsession with a piece of furniture. I dream of the day when we have a house and can afford this $2000+ sofa!  
(....and maybe..sometimes, when I haphazardly find myself in a Crate & Barrel, in the area where they happen to keep the sectionals and this one happens to be on display...I may roll around on it with no concern for who is watching.)

 I first learned about Clinques 'Even Better Clinical Dark Spot Corrector' while reading a parenting magazine. I usually scan a review if it looks like something I've been thinking about using but always take them with a grain of salt because my oh-so-skeptical husband has convinced me that magazines are compensated for positive reviews and that they are bullshit. Well, what can I say, I am a sucker for "Mom Tested" stuff! So when I read comments from moms who tried and loved this product I decided I would treat myself when I had the extra ::cringe:: $50. 
I, like many other moms, developed a few dark spots on my face (thanks pregnancy!) and this, supposedly, helps lighten them--as well as even out complexion and some other magical stuff. Ive been using it for about 2 weeks now and I definitely notice my skin being SUPER soft (I actually caught myself caressing my cheek one morning). Very little evening out has happened (it claims it takes 4wks..and it is recommended that you use it with a 3-Step Skin Care System but screw that because I just paid $50 for 1oz of stuff that looks like baby making "formula"!) but I am pretty confident that by the end of the 1oz bottle I will look like Heidi Klum.


If you have any recommendations for awesome products feel free to leave them in the comments!
