Tipsy Tuesday No. 4: Target Bar Carts

November 5, 2013 by Emily Leave a Comment

[ Threshold Bar Cart, Target, $130 ]

How excited was I to discover that Target carries bar carts?! As much as I adore Society Social’s designs, these come at a bit prettier price. I especially love this Threshold version [pictured above], with its wood and brass finish, but this solid wood design with a built-in wine rack is also pretty tempting!

[ Bar Cart, Target, $132 ]

Have you splurged on a bar cart yet? Where did you find yours?

Tipsy Tuesday No. 2: Bar Cart Style

October 22, 2013 by Emily 12 Comments

Blame it on the beautiful creations of Roxy Te and her Society Social team, but I am fully obsessed with the idea of the bar cart lately…

[ The Hayworth, Society Social, $515 ]

Possibly even more fun than the idea of purchasing one of these darling carts for my apartment, is the thought of decorating one. Here are some home-bar accessories I have my eye on::

[ Tassel Garland, StudioMucci via Etsy, $35 ]
[ 1 ] His & Hers Dof Set, Kate Spade, $50
[ 2 ] Paper Party Straws, Anthropologie, $8 (lots of color options!)
[ 3 ] Silver Street Coasters, Kate Spade, $30
[ 4 ] Polka Dot Fabric Wrapped Flask, Urban Outfitters, $18
[ 5 ] Threshold Cocktail Shaker, Target, $13
[ 6 ] Threshold Four Votive Candleholder, Target, $20 (use as glasses!)
[ 7 ] Threshold Cocktail Decanter, Target, $15
[ 8 ] ‘Cheers’ Print, Pearls and Pastries via Etsy, $5
[ 9 ] Monogrammed Acrylic Tray, Design Darling, $42
[ 10 ] KraftWare Brushed Brass Mylar Ice Bucket, Bed Bath & Beyond, $40

Treasure Hunting at Brimfield

September 11, 2013 by Emily Leave a Comment

After hearing about the famous antique fair in Brimfield, MA for ages, I decided it was finally time to make the drive out toward Western Mass and see what all the fuss was about. Oh oh oh, was it worth it! I read Shauna’s tips beforehand, and I admit I would have been pretty lost without them. Booth after booth [for a mile!] of vintage furniture, kitchenware, clothing, handbags, jewelry, luggage, and millions of little knick-knacks. I can’t wait to show you what I came home with, but it’s turning into a project that deserves a post of its own!

Comfy shoes are the only way to go. And ones you don’t mind getting a little dirtied up! The fair does take place over a number of fields.

[outfit details]
Pullover sweater, Anthropologie [similar 1; 2] | Boyfriend shorts, Target | Ainsworth Glasses c/o Warby Parker | Camera purse, Kate Spade [similar 1; 2] | Brogues, ASOS [similar]

Brimfield has wrapped for 2013, but will return again in May, July, and September of next year. Have you been to it, or other antique fairs/vintage markets? What are some of your best tips?
