{designer items @ Luxury Garage Sale pricing}

Style{d} is so excited to feature an amazing upscale consignment shop,
Luxury Garage Sale.
If you haven't heard of the Chicago upscale consignment wholesaler, etailer, and occasional retailer of designer clothing, than you must keep reading!
Best friends and fashionistas, Brielle Buchberg and Lindsay Segal who have been friends since they were 3, have always had a knack for collecting, starting with stickers and erasers, evolving to handbags and shoes. They decided to go into business together after Brielle's family antique store closed and she took on the task of selling off the remaining pieces on Ebay.com and Etsy.com.
A light bulb went off and
in Nov 2010 Luxury Garage Sale was born!
Lindsay a successful wardrobe stylist took on their clients head first and handled all the closet cleanouts while Brielle honed her skills on Ebay.com and Etsy.com.


The best part of Luxury Garage Sale is they do the research, you never have to leave your house because they will come to you. AT NO COST!
They don't make a penny until the item sells. If a item doesn't sell they will either give it back or
donate it for you. 
GENIUS, I tell you!! Girls after my own heart.
For more info, email them at info@luxurygaragesale.com and they will be happy to set up an appointment or head over to www.luxurygaragesale.com for all your designer shopping needs @ Luxury Garage Sale pricing.

{In Home Face Lift}

It is one of those droopy Mondays where I have been cleaning, organizing, and rearranging things in my house but nothing seems to look right. I hate everything. Haha! I am sure you know what I am talking about.
My house is in need of a major face lift! 
I have had most of my furniture for 5 years now and for me that is along time!
When I see the same pieces styled in cute homes, I love it but in my home, I hate it. Ironic, right? I can style interiors and props for my clients in a heartbeat but when it comes to my own home,
I am indecisive.
How many of you stylist feel the same way?
I preach to my clients you don't necessarily need to buy all new furniture.
All you need to do to spice up your look is simply swap out accessories and maybe some fresh paint. Walla!
Now, I just need to follow my own advice. Haha!
However, I really want to sell everything and start fresh.


1. Art, something along the lines of this.
Love the little black and white painting above. I would love to have a larger version on my bookcase.
I just might need to commission Nicole over at {Sketch42} to paint me up something spectacular.

2.) My Living room, Kitchen, and Bedroom are in need of curtains.


3.) Cute fun accessories.
I love these horn bookends! 
I am still kicking myself because{Home Goods} had a pair and I decided not to buy them. I went back hoping I could find them again but as I suspected they were gone. Still on the hunt....
I MUST have this Spotted ottoman tray from {FurbishStudios} for my coffee table.
This side table would fit in just nicely. 
This Lucite bench needs to be sitting at the end of my bed. 
Don't you agree?

4.) Paint & Wallpaper love
Do you have any idea how ecstatic I would be if I came home to find this Gold Petal Pusher print on my living room walls!!

If I could choose any interior designer to design my home, it would definitely be the husband and wife duo, Robert & Cortney Novogratz

Who would you choose to design your home?

{Polka Dot Hypnosis}

Polka Dots are one thing that will never go out of style. 
They are just so intriguing, they draw you in as if you are being hypnotized.

{Current Obsession}

My current obsession is the color Turquoise. 
Turquoise is fun, vibrant, and bold but if done wrong can be a big disaster.
Here are a few ways I love to see Turquoise.
