Tams Wish List

list

#1 -- Of course I want the IPAD. I tried it out the other day and it blew my mind. I always pull up my blog when trying out computers at stores, and this sooo passed. I love the idea of taking a car drive to Houston and not missing a beat of the internet,

#2 – The Rebecca Minkoff Lovers Clutch is a mix of old school and new school.

#3 – The Vince Camuto Amber heels had me at hello when I saw them on Katie Holmes.

#4 – The L.A.M.B. Relaxed Knits kiss my heart. I want a pair of harem pants, and I think these have a bit of a kick to them that makes me want rock them.

#5 – The Forever 21 Freehand Striped Dress says cute gal to me. There is color, and enough length in this dress that makes it right for me.

What’s on your list?

XOXOX,

TamStyles

Nightwalk

I was walking through Tarjay, minding my own business…and here these were for $19.99 – Talk about a great price. I think they must be going fast because I only saw two left on the shelf, and after I took mine that left one. These are very well made, and could give a name brand shoe a run for its money. So run gals, don't walk to Tarjay.

STILL CAMPAIGNING

I am in the running for the campaign piece finder. No just kidding. That makes no sense. Just trying to crack a joke. Any who…Lookey what I found at one of my thrift stores.

How much you ask?

Oh…just $50

Its in great condition to aside from that scratch on the side that I think was done in transit.

Its a DREXEL piece of furniture. I don't know what I am going to do with this piece. Or even when I am going to do something to it. I am just happy to have options.

Oxford

I woke Sunday morning to Rue La La having a good ole sale on a few Steve Madden items. I looked at the page and saw the oxfords for $39. I hope you ladies are signed up for their emails, and frequent their site daily for new items. These shoes are up the Steve Madden site for $99 so I got a great deal, and they are now sold out with green being the only color left which was my second option.

Items I want eligible to win:

The scoop chair design is a staple among modern chairs. It is here to stay. It would look great at a desk or in a living room with a modern vibe. There are so many options with this chair. The dilemma would be picking which color you like.

The wrap chair is a well designed chair that would look great at a desk, or alone in a corner. Or maybe you are bold and would mix it in with your dining chairs for an eclectic look. Either option would look great!

*****(ADDED OPTION)*****

I love the stackable chair. It reminds me of so many different things, with so many options to it. The colors are fab. So modern, and will blend into any color scheme.

Brush UP

I cant find the Elle Decor photo anywhere that had an image of my brushes on a table. When I first bought the first one I was happy to get it. I had passed on one a while back. Went back for it and it was gone. Weeks later I saw the brushes in Elle and kicked myself in the ass for letting them go. So that wont happen again. Not to mention I love them, and like the fact that they are different. Each brush has its own swag.

I bought two here and one in Houston @ HGoods. Have you seen these anywhere? Or do you have any yourself? If so I would love to see what you do with yours, because I am not 100% sure what I am going to do with mine. But will figure it out.

Casper Chair

Are you HAUTELOOK shopping? They have some great Modern Furniture for sale.

I picked up this chair for a pretty good price of $119 which isn't bad at all. If you have followed GIGS for a while, you know that I wanted this chair.

NEW WEST ELM

I saw these images and fell in love instantly. Check out the new photos, and how West Elm is shooting for their catalog now. The look seems to be more lived in. Reminds me of what we see daily in bloggers homes right? That lived in look is hot in photos. However, the photos are not the only thing I love. The new items are a must have for any modern home. Check them out, and tell me what you think of the preview. Below are a few of my favorite items.

Also the Mike Miller Collection has my heart throbbing, as I love silhouettes. West Elm notes that Mike Miller is an artist and antique dealer who has brought the silhouette back into style. I will even add that the prices are very reasonable for these framed pieces.

$19 and $29

The grouped piece is $79

Pillows are $29 and $34
