Look for Less: Pottery Barn 'Banks' Pedestal Dining Table

Pottery Barn lookalike dining table at Home Depot?!
Well guys, I finally did it! I ordered a dining table from - of all places - Home Depot! I knew I wanted a solid wood table that could seat 10 for under $1,000. And after months (years?!) of searching, I found a dining table that I absolutely LOVE that fits all my criteria, too. The table I chose is the Home Decorator's Collection Aldridge Extendable Dining Table, which is currently on sale for $899 (was $1,499) at homedepot.com.



Look for Less: T-Shirt Dress and Golden Goose Dupes

Look for less featuring stripe t-shirt dress and Golden Goose sneaker dupes!
I decided to get back to my roots today with a complete "Look for Less" outfit! Nothing says spring like a classic t-shirt dress, denim jacket and white sneakers. Golden Goose is so popular right now, and these star sneakers are an awesome dupe! Finish the look with some oversized shades - I own both versions of the sunglasses and love them both! I found the designer pair discounted on ThredUp last summer. This is just such an easy yet cute look to toss on when you feel like taking a break from sweats!



Olivia Wilde's Social Distancing Look for Less

Olivia Wilde's social distancing look - so comfy and cute
Olivia Wilde shows good social distancing skills while on a walk, wearing a face mask and maintaining a safe distance from others. The actress is also a good example of how to dress these days with a look that's made for lounging and staying active, too. Pair a v-neck tank top (I own this one in two colors; fits true to size) with a fresh pair of sweatpants (Target has so many good options) then add a pop of personality with some fun slip-on sneakers - these graphic black-and-white checkered Vans are so fun and under $50!



Look for Less: Pottery Barn Recycled Glass Vase

Recycled glass vase look for less
With the changing seasons, now is the perfect time to bring a little greenery into your homes. And what better place to house a plant stem or two (faux or real) than in an eye-catching recycled glass vase? I love the subtle hint of blue and the beautiful organic shape. Place one on a wood dining table (this one is the current front-runner in my search for a table) with a neutral table runner for a simple yet stunning spring centerpiece.
