Look for Less: Pottery Barn "Quinn" Dinnerware

Walmart has the best Pottery Barn Quinn dinnerware set dupe!


Neutral dinnerware needn't be boring, as shown by Pottery Barn's "Quinn" collection. It features stoneware that's only partly glazed, allowing some of the raw natural texture to show through. If you're looking for a new table setting in time for the Easter holiday or spring, then this set is perfect! Also perfect: This affordable lookalike at Walmart, which receives amazing reviews and costs just $49 for a 16-piece set.

Serena & Lily Carson stool lookalike


Don't snooze on T.J.Maxx if you love designer furniture and home decor! They have many pieces right now in stock that resemble the luxe, coastal-chic vibes of Serena & Lily. Take, for example, these woven rattan counter stools: A set of two costs $399 at tjmaxx.com, while one single chair at Serena & Lily costs $798. The "Carson" counter stool is a stunning work of art, impeccably handcrafted and no doubt worth the pricetag. But if it's not in your budget, it's T.J.Maxx to the rescue! Which would you choose?



Look for Less: Veja Sneakers

Veja Sneakers Look for Less


The Veja sneaker has been on my wishlist for a long time; I love the understated "v" logo and go-with-everything style of their classic white sneakers and trainers. For a fashion sneaker, it's on the spendy side—over $100. Meanwhile while browsing Maurices.com (I'm in the market for some white jeans and they make the best denim!) I stumbled upon these white sneakers with a similar "V" design that ring in under $50. Both seem like excellent options! Which would you choose?

Look for Less: 1.State Single Button Blazer

1.State single button blazer look for less at Target


I love a good color trend report at the start of a new season, and I hear lavender is going to be huge for spring! A pretty pastel for spring? Shocking, I know, but would you expect to see it on a tailored blazer? Pick high or low with 1.State or Target to make a colorful statement at the office or afterwards (either blazer works well with your favorite denim).
