Artist Eduardo Garza creates stunning decorative sculptures from coral and gold pedestals which sell for around $600 to $1,500 each. I first learned about his work from …love Maegan, who did an amazing DIY version of Garza's creations (here).
While browsing Kohls.com, I came across these ELLE Decor coral on pedestal sculptures ($29.99, down from $50), and was instantly reminded of love Maegan's tutorial! You could keep these black or spray paint gold, silver, whatever you want.
I always seem to find at least one or two chic items in the ELLE Decor line at Kohl's, it's a random source of budget-friendly accessories for the home. I've purchased two marble top end tables and a white ceramic owl statue thing from the line and love them all. Am I the only one or have you shopped ELLE Decor for Kohl's too?

I am attending a wedding in September. They request "cocktail" attire. I am having a tough time 1) figuring out how "formal" cocktail attire is, and 2) finding something affordable. Her bridesmaids dresses are from The Limited. Any suggestions? —Wendy S.
Cocktail attire for a wedding typically means a chic dress and heels for ladies and tie-optional-suit for gents. A pretty blouse and skirt can work, too, but I find that wearing a dress is so much simpler. Look for something knee length or even slightly shorter. I'd start my search by hitting the sale racks at a store like J. Crew or your favorite department store. You could even try The Limited, they have an amazing selection of dresses under $100 (it goes without saying but just make sure you don't buy the exact same style/color as the bridesmaids!) One of my secret weapons is Talbots Outlet - yes, Talbots will surprise you with classic pieces you can personalize with your favorite jewelry and fun shoes. If you're comfortable shopping online, you'll find dozens more options everywhere from Target.com to ModCloth.com.
