Desire/Acquire: Luna Chandelier
If you're into dark glamour, run, don't walk to the Luna Chandelier ($1200). With gothically elegant charm, this chandelier balances its dark exterior shade with a cluster of clear crystals. However, even if you absolutely adore this piece, your pace might be slowed down a bit thanks to the chandelier's tragic price tag.
Desire/Acquire: DWR's Cellula Chandelier
While the Cellula Chandelier ($2,210) may be on sale for nearly $400 off the original price, over $2K is more than most of us are willing to spend on a light fixture. Still, since the Cellula chandelier is studded with Swarovski crystal pendants, it's a definite head-turner. It's a great upgrade on the traditional chandelier, and is sleek enough to fit the most cutting-edge home.
Desire/Acquire: Pretty Patterns at Differing Price Points
Shrewd online shopper and Su Casa member The City Girl recently discovered some very interesting similarities between some high-end Neiman Marcus products and some low-end Target products.
She writes, "I think that almost every company could have something in its collection to offer — if not in actual product, then perhaps with inspiration. It's just that various designers usually offer quite different, distinct looks — especially companies such as, say, Target or Neiman Marcus.
Desire/Acquire: Oversize Ruffle Laundry Bag
Looking to add some girly flounce to your laundry routine? Then check out India Rose's White Devil Bag ($56). It's super cute, and who can resist heading to the laundromat when she's carrying her dirty duds in this fabulous canvas ruffled bag?
Desire/Acquire: Looolo Fly Cushions
The Looolo Fly Cushion is super chic, and I love that it's made of organic Melton wool with no nonbioegradable closures. But still, at $140 to $180 per cushion, these are some spendy pillows! If you don't have the cash to burn on the Looolo, I've found some pennypinching pillows that are near matches.
Desire/Acquire: Dessouschic Console Table by Noé Duchaufour Lawrence
I'm absolutely in love with the shape of the Dessouschic Console Table ($11,334) by Noé Duchaufour Lawrence, and you also know how much I love white furniture. But unfortunately it is hilariously out of my price range. Lucky for me, there's a much, much, much more affordable alternative.
Desire/Acquire: Molded Plastic Rocker
The Eames Molded Plastic Rocker ($479) is a design classic. Originally produced in 1948, it's known as the RAR (rocking armchair rod) and was out of production for 30 years until Design Within Reach, with the Eames Office's blessing, started reproducing the design. The molded shell's deep seat is perfect for rocking a baby or relaxing on a front porch, and it's built from environmentally friendly molded polypropylene.
However, if you're comfortable rocking out on an unofficial reproduction, there's a much cheaper option available to you.
Desire/Acquire: Ceramic White Animal Napkin Rings
Jonathan Adler's new Animal Napkin Rings ($18 each) are irresistibly adorable. But, a whole set of four will cost you $72 smackers! I don't know about you, but I'd prefer to spend those dollars on a good bottle of wine or an indulgent menu.
Desire/Acquire: Kartell Stone Stool
Designed by Marcel Wanders, the Kartell Stone Stool ($245) has a very precious appearance thanks to its geometrical facets, which reflect light like a Cartier engagement ring. I'm a fan of the stool's hourglass shape, and the range of colors offered allows you to cue the stool to your room's palette. But, like all of Kartell's products, it is made of plastic ("durable polycarbonate"), and at $245, many of you may consider it a splurge.
Desire/Acquire: Madeline Weinrib Zig Zag Rug
The cotton flatweave Madeline Weinrib Zig Zag Rug is one of my all-time favorite designs (see it in a room here), but unfortunately it's also quite pricey — if you must "inquire for price," don't bother. Luckily, there are two much more affordable alternatives. To see them, read more
