Cheap & Chic of the Week: To the Wire

kitchen wire 1Really enjoying the new Wire Kitchen Collection from West Elm. We all know about my love of brass, but these simple kitchen tools executed in brass are absolute perfection. It’s possible that these pieces are just the things missing from my kitchen, don’t you think? Brass has become quite the trend lately, however, until now we have yet to see brass kitchen accessories at a decent price point. Enter the West Elm Wire Kitchen Collection. Thank you West Elm, for reminding us that high style doesn’t have to mean a high price point. Shop the West Elm Wire Kitchen Collection below:

Gritti 2So despite having spent five months living in Rome my junior year abroad, I never went to Venice. I know, I know, sounds a bit crazy, but I really wanted to experience Venice in a more luxurious way than staying in a hostel. So lucky for me the Gritti Palace finished a painstaking restoration last year and is now truly the pinnacle of chic in Venice. What could be more luxurious than pulling up to the private dock of the Gritti Palace and staying in a suite overlooking the Grand Canal? Let’s be honest, not much. A girl can dream, right? So today some beautiful pictures of the Gritti Palace, the Grand Canal, and Venezia in general. Que bella!Gritti 3 Gritti Gritti 5 Gritti 4Photos via Vogue Living

Looking back at the post I realized all of those items were a bit overwhelming, and not arranged in an easy to explore way. So today I thought I would come back with the one thing from Urban Outfitters that we should all buy. These Woven Wall Mirrors. At $19 each they are a bargain, and become even more so when you can get two mirrors for $30. At only 12″ in diameter, you could order a bunch of these and group them above a focal point in a given room … say a sofa, or a headboard. Or you could mix them amongst some artwork on a gallery wall. I’m purchasing a few as we speak. Happy Friday!

Below are the mirrors and just a couple other things I loved …
