Home: Dapper Dude Kitchen

If my kitchen had a theme, I'd want it to be Dapper Dude.  Fashion is always on my mind, but recently I have been pulling out old family recipes and trying to brush up on my cooking skills.  When I come across fun finds that make the process or presentation more fun, it's welcomed and added encouragement.  Check out these accessories that speak to both fashion and cuisine, closet and kitchen. 

 This napkin holder (set of 4) is from Lulu's in Franklin, my favorite!

This kitchen towel (made from antique linens) has a newly printed tophat design.  From Rebecca's in Franklin.

Obsessed: Lulu

Lulu has become one of my favorite must-stop-shops.  With a wide offering of products, there's always something new and special to discover.  From linens to dishes, stationery to lighting, everything is always adorable and very unique.  Be sure and stop by during your next visit to downtown Franklin.

Below is a rectangular grey pillow I purchased recently with finger pleating detail that I've become obsessed with.

 Next, a card that is in the mail to someone very special :)

And lastly, a striped pillow that complements my music-themed grey and white metal chair.  

Q&A: Favorite Discount Websites To Shop?

A reader asks, "What are your favorite discount websites to shop?" This is easy.  My favorites are listed below. 

www.yoox.com is my favorite for many reasons.  Deep, deep discounts are on every page.  If you have a favorite designer brand, it is likely on this site.  Alexander McQueen, Gucci, Diesel, Tom Ford, Prada and many more use yoox to clean out their inventory.  It's a great way also of finding really unique pieces you may not see in the stores because they sell some clothing originally only meant for the markets overseas.  

www.asos.com is a great site that has a wide variety of clothing at all different price points.  I've found great bracelets, vests and pants on here as well as bags and scarves.  They always have a huge sale section filled with fun finds.

www.lulus.com is a fun place for girls to find great dresses and tops that are cute and cheap.  This is not the place to find high quality or well constructed pieces to last, but if you're looking for something different for a one-time use, this can be a good source.
