Like, Want, Need!

Perfect for Summer, I love the little punch of color on this Madewell skirt.

When we were in Paris I discovered Sous Le Lampion. They have the sweetest selection of candy colored honeycomb balls, lanterns and a ton of assorted paper decorations. Eye candy is an understatement (and I love that they ship worldwide!).

Poppy Barley has my heart palpitating with their adorable limited edition Summer flats! I am a high arched, wide footed lady so I have been thinking about going on a whim and getting some custom made shoes (plus I LOVE that they are local!) and these fit the bill. And considering they are custom made, the bill isn't too crazy. Well done, Poppy Barley, well done.

My latest crushes seem to be pretty graphic and bright. I think Spring is making me feel a tad more adventurous!

I love the small but powerful hit of color on this otherwise neutral little planter.

I love pretty much everything at BabaSouk, and especially love that it is a Canadian store, but this sweater has me longing for fresh watermelon on a hot day.

This has been calling my name for a while now and when I finally decided to get it I saw it wasn't in her store anymore! So I sent a bit of a panicky message to the seller and she reassured me the listing had just expired. WHEW! crisis averted.

Like,Want, Need: Heart Attack

Our latest Like, Want, Need come courtesy of Hearts! Not only is Valentine's Day around the corner but this whole year has been declared the year of love in our house in honor of  2/14 (2014). 

How sweet are these candles? The colors, the hearts, it is all too pretty!

If you can't declare your love on a real marquee do it at home. I would love one of these sets on our mantle (hint, hint Mr.B!)

How adorable are these craft kits my friend Amanda sells? She launched her new website last week and it is filled to the brim with pretty craft supplies, but these little kits in particular cover all the bases for spreading  love this Valentine's. She is one talented gal and she will definitely leave you inspired to make something this year.

Like, Want, Need ($20 and under edition)

Today's 'Like, Want, Need' is kind of fun, because each item is under $20. So hey, if your heart so desires indulge in one of each!

How cute is this treasure map basket? I think it would be great for rounding up toys.

Angela Deane is a creative genius in my book, and I always love to see what she's creating. My all time favorite piece of clothing in my closet was designed by her, and while she no longer does fashion her creativity is incredibly inspiring, and always fun. This banner is perfect for any time, but Valentine's would be a good excuse to put it up.

I am DYING over these sconces at Ikea right now! The black and white cord, the white enamel shade, the gold/brass details. It is a slam dunk, and only rings up at $19.99!!! Now to find a spot we need a couple sconces...

I am still on my sweatshirt kick, and this Wildfox number looks awfully cozy. I am a huge fan of their tops, nothing in this world is softer or more relaxing to throw on (trust me, don't try one on unless you fully intend to buy it because you will have no choice once it is on). I can picture myself curled up by the fire in this number on the many MANY cold nights to come.

I think I should maybe finally jump on the decorator bandwagon and indulge in a Diptyque candle. Maybe. I do have a birthday coming up in the next 3 months and all...

Finally, if you are a fashionista then you already know about Current/Elliot jeans. But you may or may not know that Emily Current and Marritt Elliot are also savvy designers and have a new line at PB Teen (I was in the did not know camp until a lovely buddy clued me in).  This tree trunk side table has stolen my heart. Literally. The carving proves it.

I need this in my life yesterday already. And everything else in their line for that matter.

Like, Want, Need

I have a new series I will be posting regularly, "I like I want I need". It is a good way for me to prioritize what we really need around here since I tend to believe I need something as soon as it catches my eye, plus it's a fun way to share some prettiness with you. Maybe I won't feel like I need everything if I have to categorize things (and if I know somebody out there may have the perfect spot for it which allows me to live vicariously through you). Links to the products are directly below the photos.

I really really love this set of baskets from Serena and Lily, but alas, I have a good basket collection already. Otherwise I would pull the trigger in a heart beat!

This rug may migrate over to my need category eventually. It is a really affordable version of the beauties I've seen in countless shelter mags. And the neutral pattern is perfectly subtle.

A very perceptive commenter pointed out last week that our new dining table is being blocked by the upholstered chairs. I totally agree, and would love to add a bench to one side which also provides me with more chairs to place on the other side (our style of dining chair from Ikea is no longer the same dimensions and I don't feel like buying all new chairs... so a bench will allow me to use one or two on the opposite side as well).

This bench is really versatile and will let the table take center stage.
