Pottery Barn Inspired Living Room: Get the Look For Less
I love getting catalogs in the mail. Do you remember when you were little and the toy catalogs would come before Christmas? I would circle the cool toys that I wanted and hoped for. Plus, everything new that I found that I didn’t even know that I wanted!
Many years later, I still get excited when catalogs get delivered. Flipping through dreaming of stocking my closet, redecorating our home, or cruises to take. And while I may not circle everything in them anymore, I do keep the catalogs around for longer than I should. And I keep my eyes open for look alike pieces that I can use to recreate the looks in my budget.
This living room is from Pottery Barn. Their website is just as full of inspiration as their catalogs! I love the neutral colors with the pop of patterns (and color) on the pillow.
I’m a big fan of splurging on things, but I also know I need to create things in my budget. Here are some great look alike pieces that we used to recreate the look.
The Sofa:
The original sofa from Pottery Barn is available in many colors and looks like you could just sink into it. But with a price tag of $2,299 (and living in a house with kids and dogs) it’s not in my budget. This Baxton Studio Leather Sectional Sofa has good reviews, ships for free and has the same shape that this room is looking for! Plus, it’s $888.38.
The Tables:
I love the look of the Tanner Cube Tables. They have a classic look, slightly industrial, clean lines and it will never go out of style. The end tables are $259 from Pottery Barn, but I found these Southern Enterprises Metal Frame End Tables from Target for just $66.99.
The Sofa table is also from Southern Enterprises at Target! It is only $129.99.
The Lamp:
I really love the Emery Floor Lamp from Pottery Barn. Originally $499, it’s on sale for $399. Luckily I found this Illuminada Glass Ball Floor Lamp that is half of that!
The Rug:
This Nate Berkus (LOVE him) Diamond Area rug from Target is a great neutral and will add a fantastic layer and awesome texture to your room!
The Pillows:
Ask my friends and they will tell you that I am a sucker for two things when it comes to shopping for our house: pillows and blankets. I think both items can completely change the look of your room! Don’t be shy: Colors don’t have to match, mix up the textures and fabrics, and patterns.

The original – $23.50 from Pottery Barn

Navy & Silver Summer Fashion Outfit For Women
If you were to ask me about my style I would tell you that it can definitely be described as classic. I like classic colors, classic styles, and classic pieces that can be mixed and matched time and time again to create fantastic outfits time and time again. I like being able to find favorite things and be able to wear them five years later because some things just never go out of style.
Don’t get me wrong! I love having a few fun trendy pieces to add to to the mix. But every outfit is usually made up with the classics and maybe a trendy piece here and there. Just like today’s outfit! Classic accessories and jeans with a swing top. All in classic colors. All affordable. All gorgeous!
I love this shirt. The color is a gorgeous shade of navy. The fabric is perfect for summer and the shape of the shirt is perfect and flattering. If you are like me and have a few insecurities about a few um, acquired extras, this top will help you look and feel like a million bucks!
Get the top here!
The top had some really amazing silver detailing. It would look great with dark denim, but there is something so pretty about a pair of crisp, white denim.
Get the jeans here!
This is my favorite brand of nail polish. Their colors are beautiful, they go on super smooth and they last longer than other brands do on my nails. (I’m notorious for painting them and having them chip a few hours later! A good polish like this helps so much to have my manicure last longer.) A pretty navy shade will help pull this look together.
Get the nail polish here!
These shoes from Ralph Lauren are available in lots (and lots) of colors. The wedges have a great shape and are made well.
Get the shoes here!
A crisp white handbag to go with the white jeans in this outfit. Clean and pulled together. This handbag has a great shape – not too big but big enough to hold all of the essentials!
Get the handbag here!
Diamonds are a girl’s best friend. But unfortunately they are not my bank account’s best friend. Luckily these earrings are pretty enough that no one will know the difference. Well, except for your bank account!
Get the earrings here!
Layering together watches and bracelets are a great way to add texture and interest to an outfit. This sweet bracelet is a great reminder!
Get the bracelet here!
Every girl’s closet needs a boyfriend watch. I have this one in all 3 colors that it is available in. 🙂
Get the boyfriend watch here!
You can get this who outfit (all 9 pieces) for only $213! Cute, classic and affordable!
Thanks Fashion 4 Mom for another great outfit!

Happy Camper Summer Outfit For Women
We create a ton of really cute outfits for you! Pretty dresses, gorgeous heels, and drool-worthy accessories … all on a budget! As excited as I am about ALL of those things (especially for the upcoming summer), I’m a busy mom. And a busy mom to a boy. Which means we are busy running around and not just to the grocery store, school meetings and other errands, but we are at the park, games, hiking, and in general – outside! I need some outfits that are perfect for those days, but I still would like to appear pulled together.
Because let’s be honest. The days that you aren’t pulled together and you are rocking your famous yoga pants, crazy hair and a wrinkled t-shirt – even just for a quick, emergency trip to the store because you ran out of milk, that’s the time you run into that long lost friend from high-school.
(Please tell me that it doesn’t only happen to me.)
Well this outfit has everything you need. Cute. Comfy. Relaxed. But still completely adorable. It’s a winner.

If you’ve been around for a while you know that I love colored jeans! I really thought this was a trend that maybe I wouldn’t be able to pull off or would be too ‘young’ but it’s actually one of my favorite ways to add a pop of color! Think about it.

Neutral Love
I’m a big fan of neutrals. It makes them so easy to mix and match for creating tons of looks. Just change out the accessories for pops of color and it looks like an entirely new look!
This was the original outfit. I really liked the tote bag and I’m a huge white jeans lover! I think that they look so crisp and clean. Every closet needs a pair!
For our version, we were able to find some great look alikes! The outfit has 10 pieces total and we got the final price down to $173.40 for the whole outfit! Here are the pieces we used:
The original cardigan was grey and white stripes and while I am a HUGE stripe fan, I decided to switch it up a bit this time. Who doesn’t love chevron? The answer is nobody hates chevron. Nobody. So this is a fun cardigan that you will want to wear all the time!
Get the cardigan from Maurices for $32.00 here!

Coral Jeans
Coral is one of the hottest colors this year! I love the combination of coral and grey.
Here is the original outfit that I found online. Don’t you love it?
I absolutely adore the color of these jeans! I think that you will be able to wear these pants with so many different outfits and add a fun pop of color!

Get the shoes here!
We wanted to keep the accessories pretty neutral and low key for this outfit. This boyfriend watch is a classic!
This bracelet brings in a great look. The different textures of the metals is fun, classic and sure to be worn a hundred times over!
Stamped jewelry has been popular for a while now. It’s pretty and a great reminder! Layer this bracelet with the other for a fun stacked look!
Get the bracelet here!
One day I’ll have a jewelry box filled with diamonds, but right now my diamond money seems to be going to pay for things like birthday parties, summer camp and my Starbucks habit. 🙂 So until then, these will do! (And psst! You would never know they were under $20!)
Get the earrings here!
Isn’t this scarf pretty? It is available in other colors as well, but I’m definitely swooning over the corals, pinks, purples and yellows!
Get the scarf here!
While I was looking for the perfect scarf for this outfit, I fell in love with a second scarf. It wasn’t quite a look alike for the original outfit since it wasn’t a tribal print, but I wanted to include it! Here is the outfit with the cross scarf.
You can get the scarf here.
Whether you choose the tribal scarf or the cross scarf, this outfit is super cute. And as far as your budget goes, you can get the entire look for $221.17 for everything – the scarf, shirt, pants, earrings, both bracelets, the watch and the shoes! Not bad! 🙂
